I had a very creative day today. More creative than I planned, in fact. I had promised MrPloppy that I’d finish doing bookstrings this weekend, and finally clear the dining table so we could stop eating off our knees. But then we found all those extra beads yesterday. And then Lytteltonwitch came round today with…
I still haven’t heard anything from the travel agent – I suspect our complicated intersecting itineraries are causing her some headaches 😉 Maybe on Monday… I have, however, heard back from Deidre, the President of Bookcrossing Singapore. I’d sent an email about a week ago to the contact they have listed on their website, but…
I just had a phone call from the boss to tell me my leave for April has been approved. London (and everywhere else) here I come!!!
A couple of weeks ago, I spotted a release alert from microsquid seeming to indicate she was in Christchurch, so I PMed her and invited her to meet the local bookcrossers. She replied that she’d just left Christchurch, but would be coming back through this week, so we arranged to have a meetup last night….
Well, I survived my first day back at work. Of course, it was made easier by anticipating the fact that I get another holiday in just three months. Hopefully. I haven’t actually had my leave approved yet. I asked the boss as soon as he came in, but he referred me to his boss, who…
You know that saying about wishing your life away? That kind of feels like what I’ve been doing this week. I’ve spent so much of the week thinking about my holiday in April that I’ve somehow let the last week of this holiday slip away, and suddenly it’s Sunday night and I’m back to work…
After spending half the night awake panicking about what happens if I book this trip and then don’t find anywhere to stay, I decided to get pro-active today and start seriously begging for accommodation. So I sent an email to the contact for Bookcrossing Singapore and joined their Yahoo group, sent PMs to friendly-looking bookcrossers…
That’s how much flying I’ll be doing if I go with the latest itinerary I’ve worked out for the London trip. That’s a lot of flying! (There goes any pretensions I have to being green…) The itinerary has been changing almost on a minute by minute basis over the last couple of days, with emails…
We had a great meetup tonight, and very well attended: me, lytteltonwitch, keenreda and MrKeenreda, Marcie130, awhina, MrAwhina, meerkitten and giraffe02, and angela7715. Everyone was suitably impressed by the bookstrings, and loads of other ideas were tossed around the table: Marcie130 had found some screen-printing screens for a kiwi design, so we discussed ideas for…
The predicted hot weather sort of arrived, except it was under a blanket of low cloud, so it’s been horrible and muggy again all day. I hate muggy weather – it’s so draining. Oh well, it’s starting to look rather stormy out there now, and the wind’s come up, so with any luck we’ll have…
