…other than that I’ve been reasonably successful with keeping up a steady stream of releases for the rest of the week, mostly around the university, and mostly having fun with themed releases: Tuesday Ondine by Jean Giraudoux in the French Department Talk Language by Allan Pease and Alan Garner in the Linguistics Department Wednesday The…
Now that I’ve got a good stock of books to release (not that I’ve actually finished registering them all – that might take a couple of weekends!), I’ve been re-inspired to get releasing on a regular basis again. So I popped a few books in my bag to release on my way in to work…
The-Organist had told there was going to be a charity booksale in Timaru yesterday, so of course lytteltonwitch and I had to have a wee expedition down there 🙂 We were a bit late getting away from Christchurch, after taking a detour to drop MrPloppy and a repaired computer off at a customer’s house, but…
Just back from a very pleasant afternoon spent with Kimi and MrKimi. They were passing through Christchurch, and rang to say they were at Mona Vale, so we quickly hopped on a bus to join them there. I’d said I’d ring when we got there so we could find each other, but as I searched…
Thanks everyone for your messages about Ming. He’s had lots of extra cuddles over the last few days, and doesn’t seem to be suffering any after-effects. We discussed again whether it was worth taking him to the vet, but from what I’ve read about seizures in cats, there’s loads of possible causes, none of which…
Ming had another seizure tonight. Like last time, it only lasted about 30 seconds, and he didn’t seem to be disturbed by it. In fact, I’m not even sure he was conscious while it was going on. After it stopped, he seemed fine, just a bit confused and slightly wobbly for a few minutes. So…
My holiday’s over already, and I only got half the things done I wanted to (isn’t that always the way?), but it’s been a good few days off anyway. I managed to get caught up with my reading for my linguistics course (plus knock a couple of books off Mt TBR), helped MrPloppy to tidy…
Remember way back when Harry Potter 7 was released, MrPloppy, lytteltonwitch and I went down to Dunedin for the Regent booksale, and decided to dress up and stand in the queue on Saturday morning? And remember I promised photos? Well, here they are: Left to right: Lytteltonwitch, MrPloppy, and me A closer view of MrPloppy’s…
My LJ and Bookcrossing friends have probably guessed by now that rarsberry is the intended recipient. She and VivaRichie are getting married next month, and this is going to be their wedding present from the Christchurch bookcrossers – I’m providing the embroidery, and the others are chipping in for a frame. And we’re going to…
