may possibly have over-scheduled this weekend just a tad. It’s not my fault that all the interesting stuff happens the same weekend! (Though I suppose it is my fault I can never turn anything down – a serious case of FOMO, as I believe the cool kids call it.) This morning started with a race…
ytteltonwitch having acquired a new car, she suggested an expedition today to introduce it to such wonders as hills and unsealed roads (its previous owner had only ever driven it around town on the flat, so the poor wee thing isn’t going to know what’s hit it, with the places Lytteltonwitch is likely to take…
ot home from Wellington last night, and almost immediately went back out again, to a games evening with Mrs Gwilk and mini-Gwilk – which was fun, but I’m feeling very very tired today. And today has been taken up with those boring but necessary post-holiday activities like washing clothes and buying groceries. Oh, and of…
ctually, it’s suprisingly unpainful – except of course at those moments when I bump it against something, which happens every time I forget that I’ve got a giant sausage of bandage on my finger, making it twice the size it normally is and therefore needs a lot more clearance room than normal… I am discovering,…
I just got back from spending two hours at the emergency clinic, having managed to cut a lovely big slice into my finger. The culprit was my lovely rotary fabric cutter, which I was enthusiastically wielding while starting a new sewing project, when a moment’s inattention meant that my little finger on the hand that…
ytteltonwitch came over this morning so I could help her tidy up her CV (hopefully the advice I gave her turns out to be useful – I did once have a job polishing CVs, but that was a lot of years ago and in another country, so I’m not exactly up to date on current…
Nobody seemed particularly worried that we appeared to be in the middle of a scene from The Prisoner. This may have had some influence on our decision to start dinner with cake 🙂 After the belly dancers, an aerobics session (complete with Jane Fonda workout tape), and the crowd starts to join in: Not long…
aught the bus over to Lytteltonwitch’s place tonight (conveniently, the bus that stops across the street from my house goes past the end of her street), and we walked into town from there to see the FESTA (Festival of Transitional Architecture) light displays. It was a very cold night, but there were loads of people…
ot my flights all booked for going up to Wellington next month. After having it pointed out to me that the Friday of that week is a holiday (for Christchurch, anyway – it’s Show Day), I decided I would stay up there for a few days after all, because I’ll only have to take leave…
uess who I had lunch with today? Yep, Lytteltonwitch. She’s finally returned from her wanderings and sufficiently over her jetlag, and I had the day off, so we arranged to meet in town for lunch, followed by a walk around town so she could get lost due to the lack of familiar landmarks. After an…
