Dear Diary, life ,study, play, toys

• Installed aircon in chaosmanor's bedroom so she doesn't accidentally dessicate this summer - would be the Best Mummy Ever but prefer her hydrated
• Fixed leaking toilet pipe problem. Well, plumber fixed, I just annoyed plumber with lots of questions about plumbing.
• Wrote 1504 and 2379 word essays for Negotiation and handed them in then edited Ethics down to 3257 and sent to group for comments *brain melts out ears*
• Upgraded iPad from 3.2.1 to 3.2.2 and successfully jailbroke it again \o/
• Bought a spray skirt for Carolina, a dry bag and some gloves (fear of sunblock). Have been paddling many times, it’s fantastic and intend to do it a lot more
• Ordered Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT1 - choice partially dictated by being able to get it for $160 but picture quality, weight and optical were also factors
• Finalised maps and clue sheets for Rogaine, I admit to a tiny amount of anxiety about how it is received - bring on Saturday!
• Have two books waiting for me to finish the Trimester so I can read again, oh reading, I miss you so

I have had a couple of Lumixs now -- a big-lensed one for work and the pocket camera version for more householdy and outdoor stuff -- and think they are very good indeed.

[samvara]

Yay! I'm waiting on delivery and in that liminal space where I *believe* I've made a good decision but lack tangible evidence.

Previously, when people have used 'the best mummy ever' phrase about me, it's because I've bought them chocolate icecream, lent them money, or let them move back home again.

[samvara]

...you can buy ME chocolate icecream if you wants ;)

[chaosmanor]

I can do that. :)

Does chocolate and pineapple icecream exist?

[samvara]

*dribbles*

it should!

...I would totally settle for pineapple icecream now that I know it exists... hang on, now I have to go buy mango icecream again.

[chaosmanor]

In the process of trying to source you pineapple icecream, I found a facebook group for pineapple icecream enthusiasts.

I'll stop when I need glasses ;)

*swoons*

Does that qualify under Rule 36?

[rdm]

So, she has a name now? :)

And gloves win big-time - they also save a lot of wear-and-tear when paddling long distances.

[samvara]

Yes, Carolina she is :)

I'm looking forward to trying them out.

[rdm]

Hopefully your camera will arrive in time for the 5th.

*HOPES*
