Feb. 19th, 2008 10:09 pmI'm tired tonight. Today has been a big day in the office, moving books around, stacking up boxes, going to the dump. End result was a large expanse of actual carpet between my Parliamentary Library bookshelf and the wall. Next step tomorrow is to move the bookshelf up against the wall (thereby making half the bookshelves useless) clear a space on the other side and move the new lounge suite down from the spare room, freeing up space there.
Then off to the airport to collect my sister, who is to sleep in the spare room until Saturday, when she can move into our room while we're away. She'll have the house to herself while we're all off in Hong Kong, and then can play merry aunt to the kids when they return.
Cleaning up the office has been one of those "put-off-till-tomorrow" jobs I've been putting off for years now. I really should be more organised so I don't get myself into this position where it's such a mammoth job. Far easier to go read a book, make a cuppa, chat on LJ...
I also had to cook dinner, not that it was much of a chore, what with the protein part in chicken mince and corn rissoles prepared yesterday. Asparagus and carrot, and my big contribution was the sauce - onion and garlic softened in olive oil, then dump a pile of moonched up tomato and capsicum on top and bubble it down to a nice consistency. Tabasco and Worcestorshire for taste. Mmmmm.
More work on my travel journal from last year. I've written up Istanbul and stuck in the photographs. At this rate I'll be off travelling again before I've got to Charleston. But it's a lot of fun reviewing some of those wonderful times.
