Post-Holiday Update

Having just tested with my first post a minute ago, I am satisfied with how the blog looks. And so I will write something more.

The last item we sent out was our belated holiday cards and much-belated thank you photos (from the wedding) and a mini newsletter covering from July to December. So here's what has happened since...
not much.

Robin's still working, taking calls for a cell phone battery recall. He's often online with xbox live playing halo 2 - so catch him there if you're a gamer. Or you may see him signed in with MSN messenger. When he's not doing that he's reading Anne Rice the Vampire Chronicles or strumming guitar. Or making dinner (Yum, there's a chicken in the oven right now).

As for me, I'm back at school with two courses and one teaching assistant job. I'll even be teaching one of the lectures in March. School is going well, but it's a lot of work and a LOT of reading. I just got a new pair of reading glasses, which I hope will help relieve some of the strain. When I'm not at school and not reading for school I'm meeting with friends. I'm a member of two local Pagan groups: a general group and a new reclaiming collective. It turns out one of my neighbours is also a member, so we get together for tea and a chat often. She's from Brazil and a great conversationalist.

Jenny and Gryphon, the cats, tolerate each other. Sometimes they even sleep side by side (but shh, don't tell them that). I'll try to post my first photo as evidence. We also have a bin of worms for vermicomposting (www.geocities.com/mandy__moon/worms.html). I just remade their bin and moved them because my first attempt went moldy on top. Having just dug through it I will now forget about that gross experience!

And now I will send e-mails to everyone informing them of this new blog. Enjoy.
