Mum & Dad have been house-sitting and are back tomorrow about midday. And for once I'm not frantic spring-cleaning. All I need to do is hoover the living room, kitchen & hall. I should mop the kitchen floor really. But they'll only trample all over it when they're unpacking... Yay me. I've been very well behaved this time.

But I have to get up mega early (for me) tomorrow because I am covering for Mum who is supposed to also be house-sitting at my bro's parents-in-laws' house tomorrow. She won't be back in time, so I'm going over to take the dog out and feed the cat. It's about a 40 minute walk away, and I can't face that first thing. So I'm getting a taxi. Only I won't have the money to do so without going to the cashpoint down the road. And the money doesn't clear until tomorrow morning. Argh.

Once Mum relieves me I'll probably just sit around wondering what to do with myself, because I've been kept busy for the last few days (looking after Grandad and watching all the DVDs I don't get a chance to watch when they're home).

I'm knucking fackered

I hear about 100 children just say wow in unison, science is great.

I honestly have been sitting around wondering what to do with myself for the last few days.

Well, that and sorting things out for Mum and bill-paying and going shopping. But there has been a bit of thumb twiddling going on. Being sober and on a diet really seems to impact how much spare time I have. Tomorrow I will follow up on volunteering - the QPC haven't called me back.

Did you ever get the free version of WinRar installed on your machine? 'cause there's a bunch of audios on my BF account you could listen to :P

Oh, and my audible account doesn't require any unzipping of files: there are several books on there you are welcome to access. And a short (12 mins) interview with the Barrowman.

I admit I haven't.
The 'rents go away again on Valentine's Day. PM me your phone number in case of continuing user error, and I'll set to it then. And cheers for the reminder.

I'm on the 1st book in the series of two. Can't remember what its called - something about a blade. It's the one with Glokta and Ardee and the Bloody Nine in it. Really enjoying it, but can't read it when tired or anything else is happening. I seem to have lost my capacity for retaining names in fantasy books.

Read the Shadowmoon books, and the ones with the slave/ not-slave and the Prince/ not-Prince. And Only Human. Will review when I have them in front of me and not having to dredge them up from my rusting brain.

That'll give me something else to do!

Oh, that Blade sequence is awesome. Glokta is such a fabulous character. I think the one you are talking about is The Blade Itself; but it's actually a series of three. The Shadowmoon books was the series of two. But the Abercrombie books ( the ones you're reading currently) probably dont look like a trilogy, because one of them is a different edition and is much bigger than the other two, which are normal paperback size :P)

Before They are Hanged
The Blade Itself
The Last Argument of Kings

Yes, am on The Blade Itself (kept confusing it in my mind with The Knife of Never Letting Go) and just checked my room to see that indeed I do have The Last Argument of Kings.

I'll have to get down to it and get some reading done!

I have noticed that the hem lines on young women's shorts in 2010 are almost exactly where the waist lines on young women's jeans were in 2004.

I'm glad we got the kids some snow boots this year. It's always a toss up. Odds are almost as good that they will never need them as they will get use.

We've had like 24 inches of snow so far this season, and now we are supposed to get 20 inches starting tomorrow. Turns out, we should have gotten them gaiters too. This isn't Buffalo. What's going on? I thought Virginia was in the South?

We've had more snow the last couple of days. Fortunately it seems to be melting already! Very foggy though. Looks positively eerie out there.

Instead of a post whore, can I be a selective slut? :cool:

Ahem.....

Ah baby, I didn't mean nothing by it! Just trying to be cute...:o

J/K...

carry on. Just continue to "select" me...LOL
