Have a friend coming to stay for a long weekend… I think she’s off the plane now, but won’t make it to Canberra now until sometime tomorrow. Gotta love the internet – strange how you can be good friends with someone from the other side of the country!
Whirlwind Canberra-ness planned – touristy things, cocktail bars, [...]
One of those nights where you get home and suddenly it’s “change of plans”… ugh.
Anyway. It’s a good excuse to have a relaxing night, get my book finished (I’m reading “The hour I first believed” by Wally Lamb), and drink a heap of peppermint tea. I love peppermint tea :) Best herbal tea EVER!
:p
Full on [...]
Body starting to not feel as sore after Sunday’s run and gym sessions with Rish.
Started with the 5k loop. 33:33, not a great time, but that included a part of it being walked ahead of a “pitstop” about 3/4 through. Nice and fast at the end though, coming down off the Commonwealth Ave bridge. Inhaled [...]
Apparently the BBC believes most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books on the BBC big read top 100 book list.
How do your reading habits stack up? (books I’ve read in bold)
1 Pride and Prejudice – Jane Austen
2 The Lord of the Rings – JRR Tolkien
3 Jane Eyre – Charlotte Bronte
4 Harry [...]
The ANU library babysat me last night after my Japanese class, which waiting for Rish. Wandering through, deciding to go in search of something to read. Past the economics texts, and the ones on the economy before the black death…
Into the over sized books, and into the linguistics section.
Skimming through Middle English dictionaries, something on [...]
Got these pocky sticks for $1.49 from the HUB Asian grocery in Belconnen when I was up there for a meeting last week…
Cute little cow on the front, and $2 cheaper than the Hello Kitty Strawberry and Thomas the Tank Engine chocolate pocky they had! A little bit grey in colour, but harmless and pretzelly [...]
I can’t help but love our fairly relaxed work dress standards. So long as we’re neat, it’s all good. This is why I love my Keds, and more lately, by purple “I heart Billy” purple flats I got in St Kilda for $10 :)
As you see, purple shoes, and black jeans. Teamed with a red [...]
Perhaps it’s not the serving sizes I have trouble with… but more the “Servings per pack” issue that is common in… well, yoghurt. Yoghurt, and now I see, frozen yoghurt.
1.25 servings per pack?? Sure, I’ll leave a fifth of a small container for another day to stay within the serving size. Or just eat it [...]
After a bit of a whinge that I thought it was too dark and windy to run this morning, I did my best time ever. Again, proving that I shouldn’t be listened to when I’m whinging.
29:52 around the 5km loop on Lake Burley Griffin from “The world” (some globe landmark which I don’t actually [...]
In a whining-to-Rish moment on Saturday night of “do we have any movies to watch on the computer”, he replied “Actually we do. In Bruges.”
Great, I say, anything to entertain me on a Saturday evening. So, accompanied by Rish, minestrone, wine and later yummy dessert, we set about watching it.
And I set about giggling for [...]
