Watching: Doctor Who series 6 on DVD in the background whilst packing or working. Loving re-watching the series where we waited for the Doctor to die and finding out who River Song really is!!!! Also watched Celebrity Sports relief Bakeoff this week and to my delight, our lovely wedding venue, Valentines Mansion, is the backdrop again! I kept squealing "Valentines!" as it appeared in the background!
Reading: a Biography of Queen Mary, the Queen's grandmother. Really interesting!!!
Planning: For moving next week. I abhor packing. I abhor packing by myself even more.
Also planning for next Christmas trip to South Africa to visit our friend. Well, I should be. Have booked a cleaner for the house as we go- I cannot be doing with scrubbing surfaces and vigorous hoovering. Now trying to find man with van. Would you trust someone you found in an ad in the paper whose price seems really low?
Cooking: Delicious chickpea dish (post to come) and aubergines, also Butternut squash risotto. That was during the week though. This weekend, to be fair though, I've been eating left over Chinese takeaway (tofu, chicken and vermicelli) and chocolate eclairs from Friday night eked over 3 days- not eaten much else! That happens at the weekend.
Eating: The above. And a bag of Wotsits, some lentil crisps and not enough veg. Unusual for me.
Visiting: Pah,no where!!! Visited the post office to post my giveaway prize after finding where I buried it, dragged a suitcase of books a mile and a half to the charity shop (hoping air would help me get rid of headache) where the shop assistant didn't smile once! Seriously. Was supposed to be visiting a lovely blogger evening at Lush with Gem, but my headache has been so awful, I couldn't feel up to it- the thought of walking the mile to the station, then getting a bus for 40 mins, then having to be cheerful and enthusiastic for an hour or so and then do the same in reverse.
Going: To school for work during the week and church for practice at 8.30am. Possibly going to my friend's garage to store some stuff that CBC will try and make me get rid of if we have no room for it in our smaller new house.
Celebrating: My birthday in 3 weeks. Other than that, diddly squat except it being the weekend!
*Idea for this post totally stolen from Bevchen at Confuzzledom. Apparently, I am quite obvious and honest about stealing. I danced into our business manager's office (which is next to the photocopy room) and sang outloud that I was stealing her scissors to open a box (thinking I was alone). As I went into the photocopy room, one of the deputy heads had appeared in there who laughed at my flagrant honesty at stealing. I then proceeded to cut open paper boxes with aforementioned stolen scissors and take out all the reams of paper and laid them neatly boxless so I could steal the boxes for transporting all my sheet music. I then travelled home on the train carrying home an enormous pile of boxes of varying size. Have been doing this all week. It is rather tiring.
