Feb 1587 Mary Queen of Scots was finally executed by Elizabeth I

Well my computer says it's 9pm but I suspect it's wrong since my tv told me it was 9pm when I was still downstairs, and that seems like ages ago. And blogger says 9.07. So who knows. In this modern age the idea of a watch has been replaced by multiple clocks on every other possible device.

I'm sitting here in bed listening to Mighty Little Man, a song introduced to me by the wonderful the only Miss Mindy. And I wonder if she still listens to it. It's by Steve Burns or someone. I am in bed so early cos it's miserable weather out there. Oh btw I don't have my contacts in so please excuse all typos.

So hmm I have had a nice weekend, even though I didn't do terribly much. i wanted to go to the zoo but the weather didn't play ball. And I thought the museum would be a nice wet-weather alternative but that never eventuated either. I blame this on my own lack of commitment and also on Shahzad who was supposed to be free but then wasn't until 5pm by which time the museum was shut. But on the positive side things I did do in the weekend:

*Baked carrot cake.
*Cleaned the fridge. It is now white. This is amazing. I have wanted to do this for a while.
*Mopped the kitchen floor, did the dishes, cleaned the bench.
*Did a 750 piece where's wally - the castle siege - jigsaw. And found Wally.
*Talked to Lisa and Charlotte - at the same time - on the phone for 2 hours Sunday night. This was so awesome, I have been missing my friends up here but forget I can talk to them.
*Walked round Killarney Park - has a lake, is on North Shore, and had an iced chocolate at the cafe there. It was very windy and wild, the windsurfers were zipping along. There are also ducks, guess and black swans here. And scuba divers. And the last time I came it was so hot people were jumping off the jetty and swimming
*Read the Nomes series by Terry Pratchett, again.
*Watched the rugby, kind of - more listened to it as I jigsawed.
*Had tea at Mai Thai Friday night - again. It is so yum!
*Went out with David, my supervisor at work, and Karthik, for drinks on Friday after work.
*Watched Minority Report. One of the main characters is called Lara! It was quite cool. Worth seeing. Better than the last Tom Cruise movie. The one with the taxi driver that was predictable and often boring.
*Dropped in to see Tanya and Sarah who is staying while Sascha is overseas to help with Luka. They weren't home, but we're going there for tea this Thursday.
*Played Halo. Mindy I'm getting better! I still fell off the bridge over that ravine on that outside level a couple of times though...but Karthik did once too ;)
*Made pancakes
*Went shopping with Ellen and Karthik and stopped in at the Chocolate Boutique again. I love that store. Their mexican denso is just so delicious. It's like drinking melted chocolate. In fact, that's pretty much what you are doing.

I think that's all. Went out for lunch with Clem today. Had two Indian curries - I thought I was ordering only one, but apparently I got two. Very filling. Very very very filling. And watched some tv tonight - learned about eating habits in France and about a possible pygmie race existing 18,000 years ago in Indonesia. Queen's Birthday coming up! Ooh how exciting. And I'm off to see a hindi movie tomorrow with K, and out for dinner with David and Lilli (who I haven't met) and K on Wednesday.
