I'm having a thick day, where all my clothes feel too tight and my clumsiness increases. Akk. Maybe I'll just go back to bed and wait for a lighter day.
I took the dogs to the park yesterday and let them have a run around. Ollie jumped straight into the duckpond, closely followed by Lucy and Charlie Brown. Millie wasn't quite as bold, which was a good thing because she's gold-and-white and the mud shows terribly. I took them home and bathed them straight after anyway, so now they are all soft and clean again.
I woke up at 3.30 this morning for some unknown reason. So I got up and read for an hour and a half and then went back to bed. It's strange to have your body just jolt you awake for no real reason like that, but I'm glad I was able to get back to sleep.
I'm accidentally reading a bit of New Zealand writing at the moment ('The Persimmon Tree' and 'Seven Voices') and quite enjoying it. So I might make it an intentional part of my reading pattern.
You know what's great about Christchurch libraries? You can get magazines out for a month, not just a week. Also I like the way all their fiction books are mixed up, not split into sci-fi and crime, romance etc. I guess that would be annoying to some people, but since I just browse and grab at whim I really like the pick-and-mix feel of it. They're identified by little symbols on the spine which is nice and convenient. I can't remember if they do the symbol thing in Wellington, but being able to see 'historical', 'gothic', 'humour' etc classifications as you wander is very useful.
Apparently Leon isn't as out-of-the-woods as I thought. But fingers crossed. Can't do much else. At least he can come home for a few hours most days.

WHAT THE HELL!?! universe is just inexplicable sometimes :(
Posted by: sok at July 14, 2004 01:52 PMNo there isn't a complicated symbol system at Wellington libraries...we have stickers that say 'mysteries' and 'sci/fi fantasy' and 'short stories' and there are little black and white korus for NZ stuff but that's it.
It sounds pretty cool actually. I'd like to see what the gothic one looks like :)
