unaccustomed productivity

So today my prime MSN distractor left the city to visit her family up in the northern wilderness. No, not Wales. Northern NSW. I was a bit concerned about what I would do while my MSN buddy was away. Surprisingly (or not), I have actually achieved rather a lot in the uni work department!
Luckily [...]

ceding defeat

I have decided to call a halt to my active search for spiral bound notebooks with margins and non-perforated pages (thanks miss lisa but the Spirax 595s have no margins ). The ones I have are Xbooks (made by dats, black cover with an X embossed on it). They must be discontinued [...]

lentils

So today on my way home I was inspired to cook something with vegetables. So I stopped at the fruit shop (well it’s called that but it also sells vegetables… strange really) and wandered around looking for inspiration. The first thing to catch my eye was a kumara. I briefly pondered squash but decided they [...]

Wiblog entry for 23/09/2006

This afternoon I cut out my circle of masonite to use as backing on my puzzle. I considered doing it this morning but somehow went back to bed after breakfast and slept til nearly 1. But that’s ok. The afternoon is just as good for sawing as the morning.
Tonight I will probably glue the puzzle [...]

Wiblog entry for 17/09/2006

On Friday afternoon at work, I was merrily working when the screen went black and then the message “non system disk or disk error” flashed up. To cut a long story short the hard drive had died.
I had six hours of work still to go, the software people hadn’t given us a re-install disk [...]

what’s my life worth?

Thanks Nessa – I now know what my life is worth.

Your Life Is Worth…

$824,000

How Much Is Your Life Worth?
Hmmm so possible interpretations of this information…
1. This is the amount that my presence on earth will contribute to the world coffers
2. Once I have earnt this amount of money I may then die having completed my [...]

vindicated

Well, despite the snotty assistant at the optometrist who made me feel like an idiot and tried to convince me that my lense had fallen out and couldn’t possibly be stuck somewhere in my eye, it WAS stuck in my eye! It was very hard to find and she had to coax it out with [...]

Out and about (06:47 am)

so this is embarrassing. I am sitting in an optometrist awaiting exploratory digging to see if my contact is lost or stuck… Gah!
