long time no hear...

Ok so I return to my blog for the first time in the new year and on an auspicious date - the 2nd of February. I am seated in my bed newly arrived from Chch to join me in my nice little townhouse with a balcony and a harbour view (the real estate agent in me is obviously dying to come out)and just thought that dropping a line here on my blog might be a worthwhile thing to do. The Queen Elizabeth II is, I guess, just leaving Prince's Wharf where it has been tied up outside Lisa's balcony, since I heard two very loud hoots that can only come from a sizable ship. And I guess it would only make such a noise at 11pm when working people are likely to be asleep if it was doing something important, such as leaving.

I had to do work today. Yes, I went to work, and did work. Their webmarshal seemed to have caught up with gmail at about 3pm so there wasn't even any real email distractions. Plus I had to make some decisions - well, solve some problems - and got so far as outlining all options, talking to people, extensive research and outlining pros and cons for all options, but no actual decision was made. I think I must have been tired because at 4.30 my head was hurting from thinking too much or something and I wanted to go home. At 5pm this wish was semi-granted cos I was off to see Lisa to view the afore-mentioned ship from the Hilton apartment that she is living in over summer. However, communication got a little haywire cos when she said 'let's meet outside my building at 5.15' I assumed she meant her apartment building, but she meant her work building. So we both waited for a wee while at each place with no joy. I bought a vodafone card and an icecream and waited patiently, then decided she must have been held up at work and started to write this text. I was about to press send when I heard a 'beep' and turned around, and there was Lisa disappearing inside! so that was lucky.

Further excitements of tonight other than just hanging out with Lisa for an hour before walking home: something secret, plus grocery shopping and philosophical debates with Michael on love and in loveness and relationships and stuff. Mike is in Hamilton till Fri.

Which is the day that Karthik comes back!!

well, technically he arrives back in the country very early Sat morning....

3 months. Relationship time. Or not.

Other highlights - listening to some divine Soprano singing stuff as given to me by my new singing teacher. and to random piano concertos on my laptop (tchaikovsky so far).

Ok that's all for now. Must be bed time.
