Cloudy, but then clearing.
I had an okay day today. I woke up at a reasonable time and got up. Then, I napped on the couch for a while. Sigh. After a bit, I got up and went off and had my shower.
I had a really nice breakfast today. I used some of yesterday's leftover veggies and I heated them up and put them in my omelette. That was nice. I'd also saved a bit of the cooking water to mix with the omelette too.
Around 1 I left for work. I got to the school and set up. I even managed to get my next lesson planned for my student, so that was good. After our class, I did some prepping for my other classes this week. And, I changed the black ink cartridge in my photocopier for the first time. Yay me.Then, I went out for a quick lunch.
I went off to Gusto. It's not the greatest restaurant, but it's cheap and they have a drink bar! That way I get to drink what I want. I did just notice today that they took away the diet coke though. It's now grape juice. Sigh.
After my meal I went back to the school and did a bit of Halloween crafts. I had downloaded some stuff from Crayola.com and so I did a bit of colouring. I made a witch to stand up on the counter. I decided not to make her scary as I have young students. I did make her pretty I thought. I was colouring away, not really looking at the time, when I looked down at myself. I'd changed out of my work clothes to go to the restaurant, but I hadn't changed back into them! Ack! I'm glad I noticed when I did or I might have had to wear my casual clothes in my class.
My two evening lessons went quite well. The child finished early and so I let him do the same colouring project that I did. He got to take his home with him.
My final student and I had a great discussion. We were talking about things that were exciting or that we were excited by, for example. She asked me what I was interested in and I told her a bit about my book, The Book Nobody Read, and how it was about the search for Copernicus's book. I talked for a bit about it, answering her questions and she was surprised that I'd be interested in that. I think it's not so much the subject matter, after all, what do I know about Astronomy, but it's the book factor. I'm a book fanatic. Books about books, movies about books, just fascinate me. Later on, we got into politics. It was a very interesting class. She's quite a lady.
After class, I did my paperwork and then I left my school. I went to the grocery store and bought a few groceries. Then, I came home.
After a couple of minutes at my computer to check email, I started dinner. I used a package of sliced pork and added a whole jar of kimchee to it. I stirfried that for a while, then added a couple of beaten eggs just a bit before I thought it was ready. I put a lid on the frypan and let it steam away. We had it with a salt-daikon salad, and some "shu-mei" that I bought at the grocery store. It was delicious. Fumihiko had made coffee for us to drink and we had a very nice meal. Fumihiko was raving about it, so I guess he liked it!
He did the dishes, bless him, and I checked email. And, that is that. My day. It wasn't too bad at all.
Oh, I have a challenge for you gentle readers....could you list your favourite books or movies about books in the comments? I don't mean movies based on books, but actual movies where people either read books, or talk about books. I'm thinking of a quick project if I can do it in time!
My favourite movies about books......
Books about books....
Okay, that's it for now. I hope to see lots of comments soon! Later!
