I got a PM from mecka-antics last night – he’d seen the catch notification on his book, and was very excited that had been caught, because it was the second book he’d released, way back when he first joined bookcrossing. So it’s been out there in the wild for a couple of years. Wonder what…
I found a wild book today!!! That might not sound that exciting to some people, but in nearly four years of bookcrossing (ooh, I just realised it’s my BC anniversary next week!) I’ve only found four books actually in the wild (I’ve picked up hundreds from meetups, conventions and OBCZs, of course, but they don’t…
Tonight after work I met lytteltonwitch in town, and she gave me a lift over to Beckenham to pick up the second lot of books I’d won on Trade Me. Again, a very mixed bag: The Diary of Anne Frank Duncton Wood by William Horwood Duncton Rising by William Horwood Angel Hunt by mike Ripley…
I went into town last night after work for an interview with the ESOLHT people, and all went well (actually, I think I would have had to have been an axe-murderer or something for them to turn me down – my interviewer mentioned that they’ve got nearly 100 learners on the waiting list for tutors,…
Oh dear. I seem to have discovered Trade Me (New Zealand’s equivalent to ebay). I blame PixieKitten. She mentioned in a comment that a friend had got a thousand books for $1 on Trade Me, so of course I had to go and check out such a wondrous potential source of books. And I found…

Yesterday morning lytteltonwitch and otakuu arrived bearing sewing machines and copious supplies of food, and we spent a very constructive day sewing and ironing (otakuu is an ironing champion!) and chatting and eating. Sometimes it felt like we were doing more chatting than sewing 🙂 but slowly the piles…
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…
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…
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!…
