There’s a weird noise coming from somewhere in my room. The last time I heard something like this, it was a mouse that had found its way into the secret Easter egg stash in our wardrobe.

Operation #bookshelf is mostly complete!
All the books are categorised and shelved. Except the plane ones, which hubs needs to go through and cull some of. There’s nowhere in the lounge left to put them as one geek shelf now has #Lego in. Plane books are going to the #scalemodelling plane room.

On a mission to reorganise and downsize the #bookshelves as we have so many floor piles. Mostly non fiction but I’ve sorted the fiction first for a sense of achievement.

I’ve been called fish since I was about 15. For real, most of my mates will have me in their phones as fish not Fiona. Even my hubby calls me fishy a lot of the time (not a euphemism; I just love to swim).
And I’m a teacher, so if ‘fish’ is taken I use ‘teacherfish’ instead.

Just out for a Christmas morning ride in my reindeer (slash Chewbacca) outfit.
Also got to watch some guy in a Swift get arrested by a cop this morning while we were waiting to start. Classic Upper Hutt.

So I have a Pat costume (from #bbcGhosts ) and today I was at the optometrist and saw the donation box for old specs to go to the Pacific Islands for re-issue. I asked if they had any like Pat’s and voila! One lens was missing and couldn’t really be reused, so they donated them to me instead. Win!

Not a great day in Welly today, so I’m watching the #NZLvsWI #testmatch from the couch in a fluffy blanket burrito.
Currently at tea so here’s a shot from the teatime highlight reel.

More #gettingshitdone before my physio appointment for this dumb pinched nerve. Going to do two hours on here so that it’s firing off when I get to physio and we can pinpoint the problem more easily.
