Number of schools driven past on my way to work this morning: six
Four primary schools, one high school, and one language school. Not including where I work, which is also a place of learning. I can drive different ways and skip some out, but often that just means I go past different ones!
Number of excellent kiwi films seen recently: one
If you get the opportunity,
Eagle vs. Shark is an excellent film and well worth the watch. And, given the relationship awkwardness it depicts, extra-good as a first date movie! Lots of laughs, and opportunities for mirth.
Number of books purchased/received over the weekend: five
Sandman books #5, #9 and #10 purchased from
Gotham Comics to complete the set; a Jasper Fforde book and a Sara Paretsky book received in the mail from
SwapClub.
Number of beers drunk on Saturday night: three - Ben matched me drink for drink, which was nice
It was
mugginsm and
fishie's housewarming, and most fun. Lovely to see
colitis and
elyofborg and
maab there as well.
Amount of walking done between Friday and Sunday: lots - my shins ache!
~ booting it up the hill to meet Sparky at the dentist, after I couldn't get a park close-by
~ ambling around town on Friday night (in between dinner and buying tickets to the movie, buying tickets and watching the movie, and after the movie up to the car)
~ walking to RPL's on Saturday
~ walking back from RPL's
~ walking to
mugginsm and
fishie's
~ running errands on Sunday (four stops, six shops)
