Thank God for Alexander McCall Smith

I went to the public library again today, I needed some stuff to read, and I decided to get something on Fen Shui and Confuscious. So I managed to get the non fiction stuff (although I imagine there would be more a selection if I could read chinese). I then proceeded to the fiction floor. I was walking around the shelves for a very long time, and found nothing (and I'm really not picky when it comes to books). I pictured my blog title "No library books since the english handover!". And then I saw it, a hidden little collection of Alexander McCall Smith books (from the No.1 Ladies Detective Agency), there are at least 4 hidden in the mass of awful awful books. I didnt want to over do it, so I just took one. I need to make the good books last!

What else? I have been super busy. Most nights I head home, do a bit of cooking and tidy the kitchen and chat and thats my night gone. Oh I heard from my shipping ppl today, and my stuff will arrive about July 10. Which is still ages away. So Caity and I will have to do some shopping. There seems to be sales on . And I need swimmers cause were planning some island hoping next wkend.

Oh well need to tidy the house, in prep for caitys visit!

OK Spare room and Bathroom done - only have bedroom, lounge, dining, kitchen to go. Damn that sounds like a lot. But I am enjoying my new music - thanks Clair - I believe they're called Thirsty Merc? Presently singing a song called Katie Q. Kinda ironic really ;) BTW Katie K are u reading this? How r u????
Ok back to it!

10:20pm (who knows what time i started, but id guess about 9pm - See look at what I do for you Caity!) Mostly done, just need to vacuum and cut up pineapple for brekkie tomorrow and refill water - and finito. Vacuuming sux - specially with my little dust buster. Given I only ever vacuum before VIPs I figured there was no need to invest in a real one.
Wonder if I keep playing this CD loudly, if the hot neighbour will come over and ask me to turn the music down?? Just turn in up a little more....

Almost 11pm - It couldn't be easy could it - Stupid vacuum thingy not working, hoping it needs some charging so I'm gonna leave it charging o/night and hope for the best. BTW Zeina found ur pressie on my lounge floor, so I haven't posted it yet ;) Pineapple cut up - did I mention I paid the equiv of 50 cents for it? I can't work out why it was so cheap today - normally I need to haggle to get it under $2 and today they're selling for 50 cents (in a supermarket no less). Still tastes good though ;) Night folks (and no door knocking from Mr Hot - Ok suggestions for a better name ppl (and no Mr Big is not an option!))

(Mr) Short Shorts? Sounds like a LOT of cleaning and housework going on there... perhaps you are gearing up for a desperate housewife role so (Mr) Short Shorts can come knocking! :)
