juliet: Me sat on the side of a mountain with my snowboard, all bundled up in boarding kit (snowboarding)
[personal profile] juliet
[personal profile] doop & I just spent a week in Les Arcs (somewhere in the Alps... not actually sure exactly where, but it took us about 5 hrs by train from Paris) throwing ourselves down mountains. Snowboarding is a very splendid thing, even if it did take me half the week to remember what the hell I was doing. Mountains lovely, injuries mostly moderately minor (though d did get to visit the doctor on day 1 after crocking his elbow).

Beastwatch: 4 penguins, 2 leopards, a koala, and a Jersey cow, all on skis; and Batman on a snowboard. (He waved at me, then fell over.)

Actual beastwatch: lots of tiny birds! And what looked a lot like hare tracks, but no actual visible hare.

ION: I am clearing out drawers again, & have a nice set of straight knitting needles, in a nice zip-up red case, that used to belong to my Mum. I never use straight needles, so really they ought to go to a better home. Anyone want them?

(While I'm at it: despite my best efforts to offload the lot on anyone who expressed even mild interest at my party, I still have a couple of copies of that book about Linux that I wrote to give away. Anyone want one? Happy to post.)

If I'm not too late, I'm interested in a copy of the book for passing right by me without stopping to say "Hi". :-) )

Since you're having such trouble getting rid of those books I'll take one off your hands :o) Not doing anything linux-y at the moment but thinking about recovering some of my lost skills in the future... My address details are here. Probably best to send to work as Royal Mail think delivering my home post is optional :-/

*pokes lj* Er, yes, that'll be because it's set to private....just in case I forget who I am, where I live and what I do for a living and need to look it up on lj I suppose. Sorry about that, have fixed it!!

Meeting up would be good but I'm making no promises till the dissertation is handed in!!! Which is end of March.

The temptation to ask you for a copy of the book to give to our current (very poor) sysadmin is almost too much to resist, but since he's taking early retirement very soon (yay!) it would probably be cruel.


[Though I suspect he wouldn't notice]

Between here and DW, that's quite a large value of "couple". I don't suppose you have any left?
