From Under The Duvet..: Review of the Week

A little review of the week...

Quote of the week:
“You see, I thought Leane thought I thought she said ‘this guy’. Leane thought I thought she said ‘the sky’. I thought she said ‘skive’. She said ‘Sky [as in Sky TV].”
.
Did you follow that? This was on Friday night when Leane was saying what someone got someone for Christmas. And neither of us could understand the other leading to hilarious interpretations – the quotation was what I said when trying to explain it to Rose.
.
Night of the Week:
Hmm… Tough one. Friday night was good. Not only did I have my first non-family car passenger but they survived (well done Rose!)! It was a great night with good food and good company.
.
Saturday night was Mannafest and I drove down with Jayne in the car. We managed to park on Adelaide Street – it was a little stressful but Jayne was great! I’ve discovered the main component of my driving technique is prayer – prayer that I did remember to lock the car, that the car will be there untouched when we return and that I’m not blocked in! Mannafest was really good so maybe Saturday night will be the night of the week. (Although I’ve still to experience Sunday night!)

Picture of the Week
Definitely this one I took around 8am on Friday. The greyscale one looks quite cool too.

Relief of the Week

For reasons I will leave undiscussed I was excluded from both Secret Santas in school - there are sort of two groups of friends I am friendly with and one thought I was in the other Secret Santa and the other group... I don't know. But anyway... So I was going to be left with lots of presents to buy and I hate Christmas shopping and couldn't have afforded it anyway! So I decided, after talking it through with Rose, to say to everyone I'm not exchanging gifts this year.

There's nothing I need right now so I said instead of giving gifts I'm donating money to Tearfund and if you really feel that strongly about getting me something to donate money to Tearfund or another charity. Everyone agreed that it was a good idea and I'm so glad everyone is fine with it - it saves me a whole lot of stress with shopping and finding gifts. I was worried people would be miffed at my getting out of giving gifts but they haven't been. If we're honest we don't remember half of what we got by Valentine's Day anyway!

Anyway... I've six essays to do this weekend and have managed to do three so far (two more for Tuesday and one for Wednesday).
