  • Another huge week ahead – not much free time in my schedule between now and Friday night.. #

  • is feeling a bit overwhelmed by life… and this humid weather is not helping at all. #
  • must remember not to Google Noah's Ark – the only results are a jumble of very bad science. Must get back to work I think… #

  • is teaching Owen how to use a dictionary – yep, one of those old fashioned book things :) #

  • Thinks Google Buzz doesn't have chance of seriously competing with facebook… but I signed up nonetheless http://ping.fm/uMVOa #
  • is at swimming lessons with Luke, then out again tonight. At present, home is a place I pop in and visit once in a while #
  • thought I might have to deliver a baby today, but now I don't, thus keeping my record for 2010 intact. So glad it's Friday! #
  • finally found the time for a long overdue coffee, only to discover there are no beans :( Looks like it's Nescafe time again… #
  • It's funny when I meet someone with a certain accent I immediately want to ask them if they know the other person I know with that accent :) #
  • NYTimes: Wi-Fi Turns Rowdy Bus Into Rolling Study Hall http://s.nyt.com/u/BRc #
