Quiet weekend
Oct. 11th, 2004 12:12 amNice relaxing weekend at home for the first time in....oh I don’t know how long. Far far too long. Notable good bits:
A lovely long relaxing herbal bath, soothing my poor finger and reading Neil Gaiman’s American Gods.
Eating nothing but Chinese food. Ate Chinese at home on Friday and Saturday, and this evening![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
doseybat and compilerbitch and their lovely friend Silvia popped over and took snow_leopard and myself out to dinner. At the local Chinese. The yummy all-you-can-eat place with added bonus of Jelly and Icecream included!
Finding the local pub is serving Bavarian Real Ale for 149p a pint. A very good thing.
Locating a 1910 edition of Boltzmann’s Principe der Mechanik (yes, in German) in the same pub, and finding it contains all kinds of interesting stuff about Solar Systems Dynamics within. An odd book for a pub to have, but it was a find as far as I’m concerned. Described the concept of partial differentiation tosnow_leopard. Also found a book full of 1960s Mathematics O-level exam papers. They look harder than the current A-levels. No surprises there, then.
Going on a shopping spree in Central London to cheer myself up, bought sparkly CDs, pretty graphic novels, books (Beowulf, Lolita, I Capture the Castle) and Powerpuff Girls the Movie on DVD.
Flopping in front of TV watching Powerpuff Girls the Movie. I admit to liking it. Housemates all now disown me.
Submitting the initial online application for a new passport. Now have to wait for the form to be sent back to me. However, the process has now started, which is good.
compilerbitch handing me a bag containing lots of mysterious items, which one of you should recognise. Theres a sparkly bubble-gun, some Hello Kitty chopsticks, sparkly bangles, a photo in a Hello Kitty frame, and an even older photo, and lots of other stuff. *giggles* What should I do with them, sweetie? (the photos are cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!!!)
Drinking hot chocolate made with hot milk, real chocolate, and quality greek brandy. For the ultimate in drinks that make me feel all warm and snuggly inside.
