The Roman Emperor Caligula had his favourite horse wined and dined at banquets, and was planning to make him a Roman consul, but was assassinated.

The Emperor was assassinated, not the horse. Although it probably wouldn't have lived a great deal longer.

So everyone I thought I'd write a brief post since it has been a wee while and I wouldn't want to get out of the habit.. and Karthik hasn't been here all evening so I don't have to worry about entertaining him :) I really should be in bed already, I was so tired last week I was like a zombie, and over the weekend I didn't really catch up and was still tired, and didn't exactly go to bed early last night either but today and yesterday have been functioning fine, a couple of yawns in the section meeting today but it was in Pitt St so we had a nice view to entertain us. I yawned a bit in choir tonight too but was mainly hungry. But some nice girl in choir gave me a lift home and Karthik drove me there so by 8.15 I was home ;) Noone cooked tonight so I had toast and some Greek spread on it and olives, and apple pie. I thought about spaghetti, but toast seemed more immediate. Oh and choir was fun for the second week in a row! Yah!

Also tonight I finished the jigsaw! 2000 pieces, I'd never done it before, I did it all myself starting last Saturday, and the most recent weekend I couldn't do it cos I wasn't here, so that's pretty quick! It looks really cool. Unfortunately there were 2 pieces missing, but it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.

I have been quite practical lately too. The shoe man said he couldn't fix either of my pairs of broken shoes so I bought super glue, glued one heel back on and glued the button on the other one, and it seems to be all good so far - I've had 2 days at work with the glued-on heel shoe and it hasn't come off ;) I hope my luck holds up. I guess when it finally breaks I'll have to go shoe-shopping again :(

And I also sewed the strap back together on the top that Jenna borrowed from me for 6 months that I've never worn. After doing this I noticed two white stains on the front that I can't get off. Hopefully some Friend and some intimate time with the washing machine will help this, but I don't know.... Yes I know you'll be amazed that I know how to use a needle, I won't see I'm terrific but I'm functional for simple tasks. My mum and Little Nana and Big Nana did teach me that much.

I also wrote 2 cards tonight to various people, and read a letter from my local MP, and browsed the next semester of continuing education courses at Auck uni. There are some fascinating ones, and some are only 1 or 2 sessions so I might have to get involved again.

Isn't life fascinating. Ok i'm going to read my library book on the Musée d'Orsay now in bed - this will be fun. I hope everyone reading this has a wonderful day tomorrow.
