Ahhh it’s friday! Don’t we all love Fridays? The promise of the weekend ahead, wine, lying in bed and unknown adventures! Though truthfully for me it’s often laziness, potentially a hangover and boredom. Ha! I need a hobby.<\/p>\n

The past week in summary…<\/p>\n

Happy<\/h3>\n

+ It’s only 3 week to go until We get to see our families in South Africa! We last went home in September 2012 to get married, so it’s been a long time since I got to cuddle my loved ones. Time to shift the counting to days instead of weeks I think. 22 Sleeps! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

+ I’ve booked Vash<\/a> into holiday care for while we are away. He’s going to be staying with Sam’s Species<\/a> so it’s good to know he will be in capable hands while we are on our hols.<\/p>\n

+ I’ve been listening to the Books on the Nightstand<\/a> podcast and totally loving it! I love both books and technology, so a podcast about books is like heaven to me. I feel geeky and intellectual all at the same time. Haha. I listen on the Apple Podcast App<\/a> while at work and always end up adding a book or 2 to my goodreads.com<\/a> “to read<\/a>” list along the way.
\nThis week I listened to Ann & Michael talk about audiobooks, and it has prompted me to blow the digital dust off my Audiobook copy of Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett and install the Audible App<\/a> on my iPhone to listen to it. Though sometimes I find it hard to focus properly on audiobooks I’m slowly getting through it. I am able to listen at work as long as I’m not doing anything that requires reading (I can’t do the 2 together) or too much stop and start. Thankfully this week has been conducive to listening and have had it on the go for most of yesterday and today.<\/p>\n

Crappy<\/h3>\n

– I had a head cold at the beginning of the week. I started to feel crappy on Sunday when Pete and I went for a walk in the sunshine, and ended up taking Tuesday as a sick day. Thankfully it was short lived and I’m right as rain again.<\/p>\n

– Before we moved house in December, my car’s driver door was keyed by some wanker and only just got around to getting a quote for the repair. \u00a3168! \ud83d\ude41 I’m going to see what improvements I can make myself before forking out so much dosh on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
