Had our second meetup of the newly-revived Christchurch Bookcrossing meetups this morning, and yet again we had new people turn up: NiceOrc (whose name I vaguely remembered from years ago) and her daughter. Plus Chuckacraft, who was there last month, came back, so it’s feeling like we’ve got the beginnings of a viable Christchurch meetup…
I probably should have taken another day off, because I’m still not feeling great (this is the worst cold I’ve had in ages – apparently there’s loads of people laid low by it), but I was feeling just well enough to come in to work (and enough of a combination of bored and guilty to…
t’s been a very long time since we had regular Bookcrossing meetups in Christchurch, what with one thing or another, but with Lytteltonwitch being back in town, we decided to give them another go. So she emailed a few new members, plus some of the old-timers, and arranged a meetup for this morning. And we…
DD was down most of yesterday, so I had to post yesterday’s entry on Livejournal instead. But look, proof I really didn’t break my daily posting streak: Anyway, here’s a copy and paste of what I would have written yesterday if the site had let me in: A few interesting recent catches: My Favourite Wife…
eard the news this morning that Miketroll died yesterday. He’s been battling pancreatic cancer for many months, and lasted much much longer than anyone expected (back in June he’d been given a prognosis of only a couple of months to live), so it’s not exactly a shock that he’s gone, but it’s still a sad…
Nothing much to write about, so it must be about time for a catch report (is it seriously 6 months since the last one???): Nine Uses For An Ex-Boyfriend by Sarra Manning – released in the College of Arts waiting area (I’ve had some good catches from there, actually – I really must get round…
Ok, so not entirely wasting today: I have at least sorted through a few photos from the trip to Alexandra. Lake Tekapo looking spectacular as usual: Possibly the clearest view I’ve ever seen of Mt Cook/Aoraki, above Lake Pukaki: Playing with toy cars while we wait for lunch at the Shaky Bridge Cafe: A ramp…
It’s after midnight, so once again I’m technically breaking my posting streak, but it’s been a busy day so I kind of forgot until now. And now I’m really tired and would much rather just go to bed than post, but somehow I’ve got myself trapped into this “can’t break my streak of daily posts”…
pent this afternoon with Lytteltonwitch in the very Christmassy occupation of giraffe hunting. We weren’t the only ones, either – we ran into other people doing the same thing. Who says Christmas Day needs to be spent eating way too much food (ok, so we did that later… tacos* for dinner followed by way too…
‘ve cleaned up after last night’s party, and I’ve made release notes on the books we left on the Christmas Book Tree, so that means all my “have to do” stuff is finished with for the year. Now all there is left to do for the next three weeks is relax – I’m finally on…
