We had our regular Second Tuesday meetup tonight. We tried a new cafe (well, new to us – it’s actually been there for years), The Coffee House, which turned out to be a really good choice. The food was nice, they had a nice warm fire (which we managed to nab a table right next…
After Friday, I wanted a nice quiet weekend (especially because the next couple of weekends will probably feature a lot of studying, what with final exams coming up fast), so we borrowed a couple of DVDs and spent most of yesterday watching them. One was Midnight Cowboy, which I’ve seen a couple of times now,…
I had my oral exam for Spanish today, and it didn’t go well 🙁 I was really well prepared – I’d done loads of study, and had even worked out what I could say if the examiner asked all the most likely questions – but when I went into his office my mind went completely…
Well it’s the 6th of the 6th of 06 here in NZ, and so far the world doesn’t seem to have ended. It was a bit cold this morning, does that count? 😉
It’s a long weekend here in FutureCat land, and theoretically I was going to spend the weekend studying hard for my Spanish oral on Friday. Theoretically. Of course, temptation got in the way of good intentions, so I spent most of Saturday reading, cross-stitching, playing Oblivion, and generally doing anything but study. I did spend…
This year seems to be disappearing faster than I’ve got time to draw breath. I can’t figure out where it’s all gone. At this rate it’ll be Christmas before we know it. Maybe it’s because I’m having such a busy year that it’s going so fast – between work, study, bookcrossing, and my union involvement,…
I caught a bookcrossing book in the wild today! Now that might not seem very exciting, seeing as I am a bookcrosser, after all, and am over-run by bookcrossing books. But catching one in the wild is a very different matter to just picking one up at a meetup. In over three years as a…
Another thing I haven’t had time to do a lot of lately is cross-stitch. So last night while we were catching up on watching some of the many things we’ve videoed over the last couple of months but never found time to watch, I made a start on the third tree (or eskimo) of my…
It’s been a long week, made even longer by the fact that I had to stay late for one of those work social functions that aren’t compulsory, but somehow are almost impossible to get out of. But that’s ok, I’ve got the art down to a tee of staying the minimum amount of time to…
Yep, the spam headers just continue to get weirder… (and they’re just the ones that actually make it through the spam filter). I keep having all these good intentions of writing in my diary more consistently, but life just keeps getting busier (I was “volunteered” onto another committee today – it’s something I really want…
