Buying new jeans, further work on creating room for another bookcase, making an optometrist appointment, baking something, writing a letter to someone, watching dvds, going swimming, wandering aimlessly, playing a musical instrument, working in my garden, driving somewhere, having a nap, sitting on the balcony and enjoying the springy weather, sudoku, whatever takes my fancy.

a story
Last night on my way home I saw a petrol station with the bargain price of $1.17 per litre (hah!). So I stopped by to fill up. It was a bit of a circus really because there was a sign on the pump saying I had to prepay. Fair enough, this is to stop people [...]
I have made a decision
to eat my food off plates rather than out of takeaway containers. A lot of my meals are take away at the moment. However it is hard to judge quantities when eating compacted food from a non plate shaped container. So I tend to eat it all. But I don’t think this is a good [...]
more progress
Yesterday I had a fit of activity and removed the can collection. It is now sitting under the house waiting for the next phase of the project. I also removed all the books from bookcase #2 and moved bookcase #2 to the space formerly occupied by the can collection. This morning I woke up and [...]
a dutiful citizen
I have now completed my tax return. I just have to sit back and wait for the tax office to deposit the $$ into my bank account. Last year it took them a week. I was quite impressed.
In other news I am still pondering the bookcase dilemma. Have I ever posted a picture of my [...]
not much to report
There is not much to report from yayland at the moment. I have finally finished the month of too much work. Although I did have to give one of my bosses a piece of my mind yesterday for many and varied reasons. He has promised to reform but we’ll see what happens. I certainly do [...]
reporting from the prison
The other pharmacist is locked up on the footpath. She has two police officers making sure she doesn’t escape and a local reporter covering the event. The lock up your boss day pack included some plastic handcuffs but the police brought some proper ones.
gah
Not feeling very well today. Have been sampling the fare at work in an effort to feel better. This would be more interesting if I worked at a chocolate shop or something.
Eating licorice bullets. Mmmmm.
In other news, tomorrow we are having Lock up Your Boss Day (see link on left, I forgot how [...]
Sunday
This afternoon I revoked my earlier vow never to go to Ikea on a weekend again. However it was a different Ikea to the last time I went – a lot bigger. Still scary but not as bad as before. Would hate to try and evacuate the place though – not simple to get out [...]
the quest
I am on a quest to find a new bookcase. It must be very sturdy. I have loads of books and they are heavy. It must also have at least one shelf which will fit tall books in it. And it should be deep to allow a double row of smaller books on higher [...]
