It's been a pretty mundane sort of a week. I've done my chores, and worked at the shop. So this post is a mish mash of nothing very exciting.
The most exciting thing to happen was when the recycling bin wasn't picked up and emptied.
I arrived home from the shop to a very irate husband, he watched the truck go right past so he rang the council. They said leave it out and they'll come back for it. That didn't happen which meant waiting another fortnight and more recycling building up as we only have a small bin (which is usually big enough for just the two of us). I think his reasoning was that we've done our bit, the council could have done theirs! Never mind, if that's the worst we have to worry about we're lucky :)

It's Maori language week or Te Wiki o te Reo Maori. I look after the fb page for our local Christian bookshop and I nearly forgot to list our Maori language bibles and other books. But it is done, phew, and the week is not over yet :) Next week is Chinese language week, I hope I remember to list the Chinese bibles.
Vanessa, youngest daughter, had her birthday on Tuesday but has been unwell so her card and wee present are still sitting on my kitchen table. We'll pop over when she's feeling more up to it. It's also a friends birthday in a few days and she will be celebrating at the glaciers on the West Coast with her family so I'll get hers to her on Sunday when we head into church together.

I'm trying to read Prince Harry's book Spare. I'm not happy with him but thought I should read the book in case I am misjudging him totally! It has been known to happen :) I'm not sure how far I'll get with it. I found the first chapter a bit cringe worthy but it seems to be getting better apart from his obsession with his mother. I'm only up to chapter 8, very short chapters.
And that's it from me for another few days.
Have a good weekend everyone.

So annoying when a bin isn't emptied. We waited two days once for them to come back and do the job (most of the street had been missed out).
ReplyDeleteLet us know what you think of Prince Harry when you finish the book. I've never been that impressed with him, but perhaps I have also misjudged things.
Hope you enjoyed watching the marching :)
Curry rolls and chips, yum!!
ReplyDeleteI too wonder what you'll think of the Spare. I've had enough of him, and her, on youtube and the news
Curry rolls and chips sounds quite good!!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear your daughter wasn't feeling well and hope she's better now.Happy Belated Birthday to her.
Hope your daughter is on the mend. As for Harry's book, I'm not that interested in him, so his book isn't a big draw. I don't read a lot of non-fiction, but will if that person is someone I'm curious about (unfortunately not many are). I like that song, "God is great, beer is good, people are crazy"...
ReplyDeleteI haven't bothered reading it to be honest, I imagined the book to be full of whining, I shouldn't judge but I find him to be a bit self entitled.
ReplyDeleteIt was interesting reading about your week. I hope your daughter is feeling better. I have wondered about Harry's book. Perhaps I should borrow it from our local library so I can at least say I have read it! Enjoy your week and thankyou for visiting my blog this week.
