really have nothing to say, but I just stumbled across this amazing site while searching for something completely different, and had to quickly post something just to have the excuse to use one of her gorgeous drop-caps. So I suppose I should think of something to fill up a paragraph or two to make it…
I really will get round to posting the rest of my travel journal entries, but life is kind of busy at the moment. Work is hotting up as we get closer to our big launch, and study takes up most of my free time. And this week I seem to suddenly have a social life…
The rest of the trip over went smoothly. I slept on and off most of the way from Abu Dhabi to London, but was still pretty tired by the time we reached Heathrow. Then I had a 4-hour wait for the bus (which felt even longer, because I was too tired to read, so spent…
First (small) leg successfully accomplished. The 3 am start to be at the airport by 4.30 for a 7 am flight wasn’t fun (although the kittens approved greatly of their breakfast being served so early), but I had adrenaline to carry me through (and MrPloppy had the anticipation of going home and back to bed…
It’s 4 am here, and I’m just about to leave for the airport, bound for Dublin. First stop Sydney, for lunch with the local oookcrossers, then (after the super-long-haul to London) a couple of days with the out-laws in Wales, then I hitch a ride on the witch’s broomstick and we’re off around Ireland for…
I know I’ve been quiet again, but I’ve got the usual excuse of being too busy with work and study to feel like sitting down in front of a computer when I get home. But I need a break from the long and tedious task I’ve been doing all day, so rather than mindlessly browsing…
As usual when life gets busy, I get worse at journalling. The main thing that’s been taking up my time (apart from work), is studying. I knew the Honours year is a hard one, but I didn’t know it would be HARD. We’re only three weeks into term, and I’m already finding it a…
Well, not really, but I couldn’t think of a more interesting title. It was the first meetup of the year, though. My threats to stop organising obviously worked, because we had a good turnout for a change: Rarsberry, Otakuu, Kiwiviv, and Bruce, Stephanie and Linda (one day I’ll remember their bookcrossing names!). The venue was…
I realised this morning that it’s my BC Birthday – 9 years exactly since I joined Bookcrossing! So I quickly filled a bag with books, and between walking to work, a quick trip to Riccarton in my lunchbreak, and walking home, I managed to release 20 books in honour of the day. I couldn’t theme…
If you looked at my list of books read so far this year, you’d think I’d abandoned the idea of paper completely. Eight e-books, two audiobooks, and only two traditional print books. The situation is not quite as dire as all that though – part of the reason for the scarcity of real books is…
