It’s been a busy week mostly out of the office. Two days at the big national libraries conference and another day with international visitors. I haven’t conferenced in years so it took me a bit to get back in the groove but once I did it was fantastic. Fabulous to see librarians from previous lives, catch up on all the news and hear from inspiring speakers. Plus there was swag so I’m now well stocked up on notebooks, pens and support bears.
Not sure what kind of a thing but two of these have appeared at work in the past week and are now just waiting.
Literally and figuratively. The painters have been in and out all week which has meant my kitchen has been curtained off so they can do the ceiling and just the ceiling. It also means curtains to the work to find and fix the leak. It’s such a good job you’d never guess the drama.
Very slowly the hole in my kitchen ceiling is being dealt to. Several days of rain confirmed the fix was good so the boards were patched then this week we have plaster.
We’ve had it all this week; rain, wind, sleet and even some sunshine. Coughs and colds abound and we are all a bit tired and generally over it. Including Huia.
We’ve had sparkling clear days all week but that’s meant it’s been super cold, snow on the hills and frost in places it usually doesn’t settle. I finally got a good photo of the space jellyfish imprint on my window at work.
This is on the eighth floor so after much discussion space jellyfish seemed the most reasonable explanation. (It’s actually the imprint of the glass lifting suction system but for obvious reasons I’m sticking with jellyfish)
For the last six weeks we’ve been chugging our way through the next join on our big weaving project. Today it’s done! This is always a moment of great satisfaction, only eight more to go, thankfully getting shorter each time.
