My stuff is slowly being sorted out. I've just two piles of stuff to do. I'm trying to decide what to put on my walls of the new place, but it's kind of a difficult choice. The only thing I think I've decided is that I won't have as many photos on the wall this time... I've laminated my China map, and that's up there. It's kind of cool, interesting, reminder, I think. But the problem is how many (if any) or which photos of people (in particular family members) should be put up on the walls. hmmmm.

In other news, I finally got my car cleaned. I went through one of those drive through thingies where you want to make sure that you've done the windows up... Although it didn’t get everything... but that’s not surprising given the age of the junk that was caked onto her roof.

Earlier last week I wasn’t exactly happy. But these things happen. I went to choir on Thursday for the first time in a while (had been away, busy, etc); Friday moved the rest of my stuff out of my old place. Saturday night, went to a QWO concert of music, was very good - they’re a great wind ensemble. Caught up with a couple of people in the group, so that was good. One of the pieces - Festive Overture, we’re playing too in our upcoming concert. I went there via train and ferry. Going on the ferry at night has been on my list of things to do for a while. It was a bit cool, but ok with a long shirt and tshirt underneath. Oh, I’ve discovered that said shirt flaps in the wind. Riveting. On the ferry back there were some photographers, who were discussing their photos - apparently they were leaving the shutter open for ~ 5 seconds, which I thought was a bit optimistic on a very movable ferry.

Yesterday, I got shorn, and made my first ‘proper’ meal (for lunch) of my new place (I’ve been eating bachelor food until now).

Was yummy, although the taste of sausage was in it… apparently one of my previous housemates hadn’t cleaned all the fat off it… hmmm, or is that grrr. (I had cleaned it before use that got rid of most, but not all junk). In the evening I went to the Zoo, and caught the most excellent Palimpsest (Tyrone Noonan vocals and guitar, bass, drums). The second group - Kristin Berardi Quartet was very good (vocals, keys, guitar, bass - no drums), but probably not quite my thing. Anyhow.

Now back to today, other than the stuff mentioned at the top that was done today (and some clarinet practice and some Family Guy), I also did some medical stuff for an hour that flew by in the early afternoon… (2nd time). Sigh…
