Busy busy

Since my last post I have:

• driven from Whangarei to Hamilton and back
  
• flown from Hamilton to Wellington and back
• marvelled at the warm, fine weather everywhere I went
• made a detailed plan for the next book I will print
  
• spent over $400 on groceries
• made 155 lamingtons, 70 asparagus rolls, 38 chicken rolls, 38 stuffed eggs and uncountable other party finger foods
  
• gave a speech at my daughter's 21st birthday party
• helped to facilitate a Cardy family reunion
• enjoyed seeing friends and family from all over New Zealand who came to celebrate
• been overwhelmed by support I received, especially from Al, Eleanor, Martha, Norman, Rena, Philippa, Liz and Bob
  
• listened twice to the best radio drama I've ever heard: April 25th, A True Fiction
• enjoyed the first installments of Prime Suspect and this year's Reith Lectures (Jeffrey Sachs)
• borrowed 12 books from 1 library and 3 friends (I am an addict, but a responsible one)
  
• chased four heifers around the orchard, discovered why the electric fence wasn't working and fixed it

Before my next post, I plan to:

• finish teaching notes for a class on making books and boxes
• print the cover, title page and colophon of CAPACIOUS
• paste, fold and sew the book blocks for CAPACIOUS
• pack for the next house sit and sort out my paper for storage
• complete the next stage of readying house and garden for the owner's return.

So that's why today's post is just lists. Sorry.
