God, I haven't posted in aaaages! I must get better at remembering to do so.

Meanwhile, here's a short update on what's going on in Layleeland:
  • I'm still internetless at home and I'm not really missing it, except for those nights when I'm watching a movie and I can't remember the name of the actor playing the second best friend or some such. That's when I really wish I could jump onto IMDB to find out, although the feeling subsides after I'm ambled off to make a cup of tea.
  • Mousey Mousey has reared his(her) ugly head again. Every now and then I see a flash of tail or whiskers and I've become paranoid about wiping the kitchen bench down ever since I found some suspicious looking black deposits near the tea caddy. Grrr!
  • I'm going to a conference in Brisbane in September, yay!
  • I'm also going to a 'We're not getting married but mum offered to throw us a party anyway' party in Adelaide in October. Note to self: you'll be with your very stylish sisters-in-law. Buy new dress and shoes!
  • My bike wen't through a period of need new pedals and needing a service and breaks failing. Who'd a thunk that owning a bike could be just as complicated as owning a car?
  • My internetless state has seen me become obsessed with knitting gloves to while away the hours at home. I can't stop buying wool and trawling the intertubes for new patterns. I may be a wee bit addicted to knit one, purl one :~\
  • I've just been invited to my 25th year high school reunion. Oh god, I'm not that old am I???

The rest of my flist is melting, while you're knitting gloves :-D

It's been quite nippy here recently and the weekend weather reports are not boding well. I suspect warm winter gloves will be vital in the coming days!

Conference! I may get to go to one in August, although I don't hold out a huge amount of hope.

Gloves! You should post pictures. :)

Luckily this particular conference has a whole section directly related to my work so it would have been a bit mean for the library not to send me. Conferences, though, they sound exciting, but they're also bloody boring at times with all the sitting and listening one has to do :~\

The thing I don't understand about these mice is, they seem to live forever. How old do they get? If they're the next generation mouse, how does that happen since there only ever seems to be one of them at a time?

The ShadowCat ate a mouse the other day. Had I thought, I would have dedicated it to you.

There is never not a good excuse for buying a snazzy new dress!

And no, you're not.

Mostly in that order.

I need some new fingerless gloves. (Not right now, but come the winter.) Just saying.

I'm not sure if this it the same mouse I've always had or a different one. Either way I wish he(she?) would bugger off and leave me alone!

We went on vacation recently and I kept on wanting to look stuff up during random conversations (like "who was that guy who was in that one thing with that chick?". Then I remembered how crappy the cell coverage was where I was and got over myself. I swear it's an addiction we've all developed.

Glad you are doing well.
