Empty house
Hmm. I have the house to myself this weekend. It's very quiet. It'd be the perfect time to have a little gathering or impromptu party, except I've been too busy to plan that far ahead lately.
Spent today with my mother, before she flies back to Australia tomorrow. Chatted about grandpa, relatives, and so on. We wandered into town, and I helped her select and buy what I think is quite a nifty little point-and-shoot digital camera*. Spending other people's money on toys is great ;)
Wandered around Hyde Park a bit, meandered back home and saw her off. Have ordered pizza and am now prevaricating about what to do tonight.
[*: Panasonic Lumix LS1 - Has a highly-reviewed lens, a good range of apertures, a reasonably low-noise sensor that reviewers think gives good colour rendition, and a high-speed processor. It also has image stabilisation, which is surprising - so far IS/VR has been purely the realm of high-end Nikon and Canon full-size SLR lenses.]
