Somehow I have managed to avoid the usual stress of finding xmas gifts this year!! (I hate shopping for gifts out of obligation when I don’t know what to buy. I like the giving, but not the shopping). That is to say, I got them all in advance. SO MUCH BETTER than walking around shops with a million others in a grump. Of course, I still haven’t got Fraser a gift, but he’s in London, and there’d be something wrong if I remembered everything.
Today I planted a small herb garden, went for a bike ride, tried unsuccessfully to make an Automator shell script, got Synergy going with my macs (easy!), figured out why MarkSpace wasn’t synching with my phone (leopard), listened to some podcasts, bounced on the trampoline, read a bunch of blogs, played my ukulele, designed something and ordered it from ponoko, tidied my room, put some mung beans in the sprouter, got a yogurt maker and put some yogurt on for tomorrow, picked up a couple of minor gifts from New World, got mildly tanned in the sun, played with the friendly sheep in the field and the mad ducks under the sprinkler, pulled some weeds, picked some apricots, watered the orchard, and watched An Inconvenient Truth (very compelling).
So anyways, I’m planning to post almost every day over the next week or two, so even though I didn’t have anything to say I thought I’d better kick start the habit.
