Greetings to all the LiveJournallers who’ve managed to figure out the comments system here! (and to those who haven’t, keep banging the rocks together clicking on the “Add” button guys :-)) Someone left a private comment asking what the logo on the bags looked like. I wasn’t sure whether you meant the logo on the…
I’ve got a preliminary interview with the ESOL Home Tutoring people on Tuesday evening, and then assuming they accept me (which is pretty likely – from what the woman I spoke to said they’re not exactly swamped with volunteers, and as an ex-teacher I’m a pretty good candidate), the training will start the following week!…
Remember how last year I kept complaining about how I was so busy I didn’t have time to breathe? And remember how I said I was going to have a nice quiet year this year? Um, I think I’ve just done something that will guarantee another hectic year… No, Kimi, I *haven’t* enrolled for another…
Well, a little bit famouser than I was, anyway… if being famous within Bookcrossing circles counts 🙂 First of all, bookczuk (who despite what I intimated about Livejournallers yesterday does regularly read my diary, even without prompting!) spotted the entry I’d written about our BC Christmas Party, and turned it into an article for the…
For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been hearing mysterious thuds and bangs whenever I’ve been in the bathroom. The alleyway fence is just outside the bathroom window, so I just assumed it was kids walking down the alleyway kicking at the fence or something, but the weird thing was I never heard any voices…
Finally my cold has almost gone, and I actually feel like my brain is back on-line again. I did struggle through three days of work, but it’s lucky it was quiet, because I was definitely not at my most productive. I have managed to be reasonably productive with convention stuff though. I’d volunteered to help…
In theory, I was back at work on Monday. In reality, I was in long enough to clear the mail and my backlog of phone and email messages from over the break, then went back home to bed. Nephew #1 had been coughing a bit when they were here the other day, and guess who…
Well, sort of revealed. Revealed in a friends only sort of way 🙂 What I’ve been working on for the convention is lots of little pocket-sized ballycumbers: They’re pretty simple, just made out of snow-foam and pipecleaners, but I think they look quite good, and will make a great goody-bag gift. Unfortunately, I ran out…
As promised (and whether you like it or not), photos of the framed artworks: I’d intended for the rest of this week to be just as constructive as Wednesday (being in an “oh no I’ve only got a few days left of my holiday and I haven’t achieved anything” panic), but those plans were pretty…
I got my first catch for 2007 on Monday! It was one of the books I released in Wellington, Internal Affairs by Jill Tweedie. And the finder joined Bookcrossing, too! Let’s hope that’s an omen of lots of successful releases this year. I’ve had a very productive day today, plus a very very long walk….
