I am delighted Doris Lessing has won the Nobel Prize for Literature. She is the 11th woman to win the prize since it began in 1901. Her novel “The Marriages Between Zones Three, Four and Five” is one of my all time favourite novels and it quite transformed me when I read it in my early 20s. I have only read a couple of other novels by Lessing, but this is a good reminder to read some more!
Big Day Out and holiday stuff….
Tonight I am feeling so very tired. I have to stay up or wake up to attempt to get ‘Big Day Out’ tickets for my son. We have a little Christmas traditional at stake here. The event has sold out in Sydney, so I need to be on it. 12.01am – is the time the tickets go on sale. Blah!
I booked some flights for my holidays last night. I’m going West to stay with Jane as soon as school closes. Well actually the next day! I’m excited. We’ve planned a road trip across the Nullabor, so it should be a great adventure.
My friends have been awesome lately. They are always great but I appreciate the way they have stayed in touch and showed a lot of care for me. I have been missing Andy plenty, yet can’t complain because he’s stayed in touch too.
So tonight, I’ll be watching mega episodes of ‘Gilmour Girls’ and keeping up for the beginning of my Christmas shopping. Blah, it’s too early really to even think about that frenzy.
BTW, Jaycee asked about gifts for teachers in a comment last month and I noticed this great post today on one of my favourite blogs Zen Habits:30 Frugal Gift Ideas to Show you appreciate Someone. I looked over the list and rather than reinvent the wheel, I reckon there’s some great things listed there. Especially the homemade food stuff. I’ve had a few students over the years bring in homemade food for me. I’ve loved it every time and Christmas being what it is with extra visitors and celebrations, there’s always room for extra food!
