OK, So while I wasn’t particularly busy yesterday afternoon, I was using my laptop to finish watching the first season of the X-Files… So this is basically a round up of the week so far (thats Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Well, there isn’t much to be said for Monday. We were in the house all day because the weather was pretty foul, so I persuaded Kendal to write my blog post for me (which was extremely kind of her) and then we watched some X-Files…Something which she will deny all knowledge of. Its not like she’s really getting into it or anything…
So that pretty much sum up Monday in a nutshell! Tuesday was a lot more interesting with a foray into town and the spending of what little money I have. Including an anniversary present for my dearest and a couple of awesome t-shirts for me. The evening was round off with another party – this one at a beautiful house (barn conversion) in the middle of the country. And what fun it was as the party (and clear skies) happened to coincide with the peak of the Persied meteor shower. We lay outside on the trampoline (with blankets and such to keep us warm) and stared at the sky. In an hour we saw collectively about 25 meteors, some quite bright, leaving very visible trails, and others less so, but still just as spectacular. And some of the people there lost their “shooting star” virginity, which is always good.
Not only was the star show entertaining but the conversation was also excellent, ranging from philosophical discussion, astrophysics and just general gossip and chat. Certainly glad I was able to catch this shower as I usually forget and end up sitting out on a cold Octobers evening on my own for the Geminids….

After it got too cold and the conversation started to stem we headed back inside where most people began to get ready for bed (about 2am). At this point I picked up a rubix cube that had somehow made its way onto the table in the lounge. 2 1/2 hours later I had one complete side and 4 partially completed sides. Some of this can be given credit to the internet and it’s wonderful theories on solving rubix cubes (as opposed to looking up the solution I preferred to look up the general theories behind the algorithms used to solve it and try and apply the rest myself…) but to be honest I hit a pretty hard spot, and every time I tried something new I kept messing it up and had to try and rectify my mistake. I now really want a rubix cube…
Wednesday morning consisted of waking up after 4 hours of sleep and continuing my rubix cube endeavour to no avail. At this point we found a scaleletrix set and decided to have a Mini vs Subaru race…turns out the Subaru has a large magnet on its back to prevent drifting…the Mini didn’t…a short ride home in the back of a fiesta (I couldn’t have the car unfortunately) and we were home…to watch more X-Files. Now, with season one out of the way, one wonders what we might do with today…
