krazykitkat: (oh my (Giles))
I find working two days in a row difficult. The second day is a struggle tired- and body-wise. But today was productive - finished the day's work around 3pm (I started at 12.30pm), so I could get back onto work that had been waiting since last week. Finished that, and in the last hour I got back to cleaning up files that I haven't had time to do since the start of October.

Yesterday I asked M what was happening over Christmas. She said she didn't know ;) The office closes down between Christmas and New Year, but I said that I'd like to take the week before Christmas off as my best friend will be out from Zurich with her bub. M said that was fine and that we should lock it in now. So my last day is 15th December. She then asked when I wanted to come back and suggested 2nd week of January, and then said 15th January. I said I could come back the 8th if she wanted, but she said the 15th was fine (the area I work in will probably be pretty slow). It will be a pain losing 3 weeks wages, but I can use the longer break. Will also give some time for me to go out places and work on the anxiety.

What's going on with the web? I haven't been able to access our Bigpond usage for a couple of days, Amazon is being a pain in the arse...

Overnight was the coldest Sydney November morning since 1905 - just 8.3C (46F). And the wind today was frigid. Over the past few days there's been snow in Tasmania, Victoria, NSW and Queensland (that was a 50 year event apparently). Remember, it's almost summer here. And there were bushfires burning (still are) in the Blue Mountains while this was going on. Not sure whether they got it, but they were predicting snow in the bushfire area.

Question for anyone living in Europe/maybe UK ([livejournal.com profile] cappuccinogirl?):

Is it standard for dvd players/tvs to be able to play/display NTSC dvds? I know here in Oz it is pretty standard. My best friend's hubby emailed me, she wants a dvd from the US, but he's not sure if it will play on their dvd player/tv in Switzerland. Their dvd player is multiregion, so I think it would play NTSC dvds, otherwise it's pretty pointless. But not sure about the tv displaying NTSC. I think their tv is only a few years old.

I found a website that says For playing NTSC DVDs in Europe - all PAL DVD players output NTSC, and MOST PAL TVs will display NTSC with no problems.

I have a niece!

Lara Kate born 6.11pm tonight in Sydney
7 pound 3.5 ounces
47cm (18.5 inches)

Katherine was induced this morning (they didn't want anyone to worry so didn't tell us - Katherine was having problems with her pelvis, could barely walk, so the doctor wanted the baby born a little earlier), went into labour at 10.30am. She had an epidural about 2.30pm and labour stalled and the doctor said they might have to do a c section. But he went away and when he came back she was fully dilated.

I was debating between Auntie Kate (what I mostly get called) or Katie (what my grandparents called me), definitely going with Kate now. We really love the name. And Lara's Theme is mum's and dad's song (the first movie they saw together was Dr Zhivago).

Michael will call in tonight with some photos. We'll see her tomorrow.
