Catching up
Saturday 3rd March 2007 10:08 pm
I’m starting to feel a bit more caught up on my life now. Although when it comes to my friends list that’s mostly because I’m marking them as read. I have a tidy house and a clean bathroom and kitchen. And am empty Dyson – which I did all on my own without doing it wrong! It was actually quite easy. I also have a working car and a clean windscreen.
It’s very exciting that there’s a lunar eclipse at the moment, and the skies are clear. That doesn’t happen very often. It’s supposed to go red later. I am taking photos, don’t know how they’ll come out though because I only have so much zoom. And it’s cold out there.
I established an easy way to tell my American coins from the Australian ones and Euros in my mug of foreign money – the American ones don’t have a number on to tell you the amount. Which is really helpful. And dad told me they’re putting the clocks forward next weekend – when I’m there. So I’m going to lose an hours sleep, but there will only be four hours difference between them and us for a couple of weeks.
I’ve always been fascinated with time. When I was little I always used to wonder how it worked if you worked overnight and the clocks changed. If you worked an hour less or an hour extra because of it that didn’t seem fair somehow. When I was in Australia two years ago it was when we changed the clocks. Except that although we went forward here, there it was autumn so the clocks went backwards. Which meant that for me that year the clocks went backwards twice. So my year was two hours longer than everyone else’s. So now I’m going to lose an hour of that. Which is quite weird to think about.
The coolest thing about my The Avengers calendar: I turned it over for March and for mother’s day there’s a picture of Mother. How cool is that?
I really must try and get something in for Back to Middle-earth Month this year, since I don’t think I’ve done anything LOTR related since last year. Don’t know quite what yet, but it won’t be till after I get back from America anyway.
And continuing on the subject of March, I noticed on the same day, that it was confirmed that the new series of Doctor Who was starting on 24th and 31st March. I feel disappointed there aren’t more options. I’d point out that the second option is more annoying since it’s Conference, but then I don’t think I was in for many episodes last series anyway. At least now I can tape the Confidentials. Which means they’ll probably put them back on the website, just to annoy me.
