Glad I crashed the wedding

Giffy mentioned singstar again and now I have various songs from it stuck in my head. I've found that Daniel Bedingfield always segues into Wind Beneath my Wings in my head. Not sure if it could in real life since I don't know about writing music or bridges or anything, but that's how it is in my head.

I rather like being sent to Tauranga by work. I went on three planes and they were all different sizes. The smallest was yesterday evening Tauranga to Auckland. We were on this needlenosed 18 seater with no overhead lockers..there was a seat on either side of the centre aisle and you could look ahead into the cockpit and see through the windscreen. It was very exciting and since none of us were rockstars we didn't crash!

After that we went on a 737 to Wellington and it seemed ridiculously large and luxurious. It had little video screens that whir down out of the ceiling and show you Aire New Zealand ads and the safety stuff. Cute!

Tauranga reminded me of Napier and Taupo. I was only there a day and a bit though, so that's a generalisation. I bought five books. Once of them is a second hand hardback copy of Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card. I started reading it on the planes yesterday.

The children's librarian conference was great. Lots of lovely catering.

Lee keeps coming in and talking about undies. How helpful.
