A Very Lazy Saturday

Blogging two days in a row.  Get a load of me.  Spent the day feeling lousy, and inevitably I didn't make it to the the gym.  However I did manage to get all of the theory out of the way for week two of my photography course.  So all that is left is to do the assignment, two different photos of a favourite subject, place, thing or person.  Ho hum, Troy?  One of the dogs?  Diamonds?  Curry?  Decisions, decisions.  Well, I have until Wednesday week to figure it out.  We missed a package this morning, which was probably all the cocktail bits.  Damn!  We bought lots of Tequila, Martini and so forth in Waitrose before the film yesterday.  I was hoping to mix a mean Margarita, or Manhattan, but so far all I've got is a jigger.  Rats.

I got the eReader working as well, and read a fascinating 50 pages of David Crystal, one of my favourite writers, on How Language Works.  I am in the slow process of deleting all the free classic books I don't want, although I did briefly run through a Midsummer Night's Dream again.  Some of them a worthy tomes, but not really what you'd keep in your handbag.

Have assembled the whole ten for my birthday party now, which is a relief.  I found Rachel online from Guatemala, and had an MSN conversation in French.  I even made a Francophone play on words, so does that make me a punning linguist?
