Happy Birthday to sokky for tomorrow. She had her party yesterday and it was very enjoyable. I wasn't there very long (give people a taste so they are left wanting more?) but I think I may have glimpsed her young flatmate also, but they could have been someone else entirely. I'm very pleased that I get to spend time with her with G&S. I know that if we weren't doing an organised activity together there is a high probability that we would only see each other at gatherings like birthdays etc.
Happy news from my friend Bean. She has been on her OE for the past year based in London, but she has visited (amongst others, no doubt) Venice, Switzerland, Paris and Egypt. She will be heading back to NZ soon via a 2 week stop-over in Thailand. I am to recommend cool cheap stuff to do. I need to talk to Mum and Dad and see if I can organise some Cool Cheap accomodation for her. She and her Bean-beau have decided they will move to Wellington! Exciting! I'm looking forward to having her close, although I hope she understands just how busy I am. Seriously. They will probably be staying with us for a while until they get a flat and settled here. This is possible now that we have a spare room.
Sadly, Satchimo-Sassa has left the building. It'll be funny not having her around and reminding us to eat veges. I won't be getting her positive reinforcement on my exercise any more. No more mellow music on a Sunday 'morning' and coming across a Sass stretched out in the conservatory. No more kind offers of tea making. No more delicious roast potatoes with Gravy! We will need to invite her over frequently so that we don't need to miss the brownies ;)
Sadly, I still need to be finishing my reports. *Why* must I always put things off? *Why* am I *still* sick??
