I really like my new perfume
Feb. 25th, 2007 05:12 pmAt the moment, I am putting off doing the readings for my class on Wednesday. I've read through my readings for Monday and have even answered some of the summary questions at the end! It's probably the most preparation I've ever put in for a second lecture!
If you click this link, it will take you to a for sale page of a house that my great-grandparents bought before the last war for 2 or 3k (that would be in pounds), which was later sold for about 100k, but I'm not sure precisely when it was sold. Goes to show the changes in house prices over the years.
The saga of the washing machine continues. We got it back on Thursday night, which was also grocery night, so no one put a load through. I put a load through on Friday night. It got most of the way through and then stopped. The power light is still on, as is the door lock. My clothes are stuck in the water-filled machine. When I called our landlord on Friday night, she mentioned maybe replacing it. I really hope they do, especially with a top-loader!
I have seen my brother on his way down to Christchurch. He left Hamilton last night, sometime after 10.00pm, planning to drive until Taupo and stop for the night. Instead, since he didn't feel tired, he kept driving until he eventually stopped in Waiouru and slept in it behind a petrol station, leaving early this morning. This meant that when called him before I left for church this morning, he was just outside of Waikanae. He met me at church and came home after for a shower and lunch. Lovely to see him again. He caught a 2.30pm ferry, so he should be nearly across by now, if he isn't already. I wonder what time he'll get home.
He starts class tomorrow and will, no doubt, continue to entertain the denizens of Christchurch by riding his unicycle to and from university. I doubt he'll be riding it for a little while, though. On Thursday, he decided to do a local mountain biking track on it, and as a result, his quads are quite sore.
Time to do my other readindgs. Or maybe I should call my parents. I should definitely call my parents. Mum and I email quite frequently and I wasn't really awake when Dad called yesterday morning. I was all ready to go down to frisbee practice, albeit running slightly late, when I fell asleep. Oh, well. Clearly it is a sign that I need to regularly go to bed earlier.
