still soggy and miserable outside. i'm going to stay inside today and have a bath.
i have rediscovered the joys of narrative. it's taken me this long to realise that i wasn't taking a course that requires reading a novel a week and this means i'm story starved. so in the last week i have read:children of england - alison weir
city of glass (not strictly a narrative, but like one) - douglas coupland
diary of a provincial lady - e.m. delafield
anasi's boys - neil gaiman
dracula - bram stoker
it's allll goood.
the time seems to have changed again (what is with daylight savings?) so i'm an hour ahead. has australia changed too? i am so confused.

No Oz hasn't finished daylight saving yet. It will end on 31st March. then I will fall into a state of depression until it starts again!!!
I hear currawongs and it is getting cold in the mornings, so autumn has definitely started. Though it was 35 yesterday!!
Tis a public holiday here, but I had to come to work and deal with printing problems, copy card problems and first year students! Pity I've given up drinking for Lent!!!!! (Do you think a tiny sip would matter???)
you should come visit me! spring is just getting started! or i'm sure it will start any day now. . .
35 is not autumn. tisk.
good luck with the freshers. god won't mind if you have a little bit of bubbly. . .
while JT is pretending to be holy (i know what she really thinks about nanny), bbb adn i have been off at the fabulous pfff, and have arrived home on the usual high
were privileged to have bbb-snaffled 3rd row seats in Tent 3, so saw at close range Eric Bibb feeding his creative soul on the adoration of 3,000 people. He did a fabuluous ( have no suitable superlatives) set with his new bass player. The second last song he did was THE most moving, intense live performance I have ever witnessed.
So! Steve became an instant EB convert - not sure about the others .
Lunasa as wonderful as ever. Look out for Laura Love, afro-american young woman singing about her family's journey from slavery.
also enjoyed the Mammals, young appalachian group singing anti-bush songs in a blue-grassy way
also Banditaliano, italian group playing complex jazzy stuff
ran into lizard-owning former housemate of yours, there with his parents. THe lounge suite is awaiting hard rubbish collection.
you're throwing out my couch? that's a family heirloom! right - i get the piano.
glad you had such a fabulon time at fork fairy. sounds great. will look out for said artists.
found out laura love is about 45 - she just looks young
