Day 148.

DH's new toy.  From the trash. Runs on a battery and has a very loud alarm. Very loud.

Monday started off well with a cup of coffee with a friend and continued with a brilliant movie, Into the Wild. I've always been fascinated with people on the road, hence my greatest hero has been for year Jack Kerouac. I liked the movie and at the end when I realised it was based on a true story, googled Chris and found interesting stuff about the controversy of his Alaskan experience and death. And Fairbanks City Bus 142, it's still there with folks visiting. Weird. But intriguing.

DD has skating in PE this week, and no skates, no outdoors skates that is. Or rather,  the pair she has is a bit too small for woollen socks and all. So hope for the best as we hunt for a second hand pair of proper skates, not the ones you can buy at a supermarket.
