I haven't bothered blogging lately, or writing fanfic, and I've been pretty slack about answering emails, too. Sorry!
I spent last weekend in Brisbane and went to the Lifeline Bookfest. Lifeline is a free counselling service, and each year they hold an enormous sale of donated books as a fundraiser. It was insane! There were thousands of people descending like vultures upon the tables full of books. Most of them were secondhand bookshop owners who pushed everyone out of the way. I did manage to get myself a #36 for twenty cents, though! Yay! And, among dozens of other books, I picked up a copy of Adventures With Hal by Gladys Baker Bond. She really liked the name Hal. If you're a Meg fan you'll understand what I mean. Haven't read it yet, but I'm sure I'll get around to it.
The lovely Doctor Peter has referred me to an eye specialist to try and figure out why my right eye keeps turning red. Doctor Peter didn't buy Christopher's explanation that Scott Baio gave me pink-eye. If you're a South Park fan you'll understand what I mean. I rang the specialist's office to make an appointment and the first available time is 8AM on May the 1st! Unbelievable! I should have told them that I couldn't make it then because I'd be too busy yelling, "Rabbit! Rabbit!" and singing "Happy Birthday dear Trixie!"
I was surfing the net the other day, trying to find a particular item for Christopher's birthday (can't tell you what it is because he reads this blog) when I found this ad:
DO YOU SCRATCH YOUR
BOTTOM IN THE BATH?
If so, call Bathshield who will re-enamel your bath in your own home, and give it a smooth, long lasting finish. Tel. Bathshield 01342 823243.
I did manage to find what I wanted to buy Chris and it's allegedly in the post! He's been ordered not to open the next credit card statement we get :)
Cheer Down!
