Still no news on the work front, other than that the VC is currently considering our business case, and hopefully should make a decision before our contracts run out (again…). I’m not sure if I want him to make a decision quickly just to remove the agony of waiting, or if him taking his time…
A couple more FMQ squares for my experimental quilt (at this rate, winter will be over before I get it finished…): This pattern is called Happy Blossoms, and it was a nice fun one to sew (even if I got confused on a few of the flowers) – it flows quite nicely. And this is…
Lytteltonwitch and I spent the weekend in Oamaru, where they were holding their annual Steampunk Festival. We didn’t dress up ourselves, but we did go to a few of the events. I think what was most fun though was just seeing all the costumed people wandering around the streets. I wasn’t brave enough to actually…
The latest on the job front is that they’ve extended our contracts for another six weeks while management consider the business case. So yay I’ve got a job for another six weeks, but not so yay I’ve still got no idea what’s going to happen long term. I’m trying not to stress too much about…
ou want to hear my latest excuse for not having posted here for ages? This time it’s not me that’s been sick (or the DearDiary site), but my computer. I discovered a nasty malware infection on it, and as removing it looked like it was going to be a long and involved process (it was…
aven’t had much time to work on my quilt, because the weekend has been so full of other stuff. I’ve got about a quarter of it sewn together though, so that’s a start. Yesterday’s outing was to Ashburton with Lytteltonwitch. She’d heard there was a “Stash Re-hash” market being held, which promised lots of cheap…
k, I know I promised to tell you all about my holiday when I got back, and I really did intend to spend yesterday sorting out all my photos and making release notes and writing it all up, but I ended up having a totally lazy day instead and got absolutely nothing done. And most…
So yeah, “in the morning when the light’s better” assumes there actually will be better light in the morning, not gloomy and overcast. But I took a photo under the fluorescent kitchen light, and it came out slightly closer to the actual colours: Anyway, I dropped it off to Judy this morning, and she totally…
I met Lytteltonwitch in town after work again tonight so we could sample more of the delights of the food trucks in the Square. Not that there were all that many delights to be had, actually – the season is almost over (next Friday is the last until next summer), so there were only a…
Things that were good about today: I had lunch with Harvestbird, which is always enjoyable, and had the bonus today that she came bearing gifts: leftover birthday cake and a bag of blackboy peaches (terrible name, excellent peaches). My cold is, if a long way from gone, at least beginning to reduce in intensity. It…
