More music. Some planning.

Listened to Thelonius Monk's Brilliant Corners which was thoroughly enjoyable. That was last night - I believe I am an evening jazz person. :)

Currently listening to Sabu's Palo Congo. Erm... I am not big on the world music stuff, and this is a littel too 'fusion' for my tastes. So not wildly impressed.

A. found an advert for salsa classes just around the corner from us, so I will phone them tomorrow and get us all signed up. YAY! Think it'll be great fun, and good for both of us. Neither of us really get enough exercise.

If I don't hear back from the library tomorrow, I'll phone them too to find about about the reading to kids stuff.

Think I have convinced A to make a list of his own which will probably overlap with mine a tad. :) Yayness.

The first 24 hours.

Well, I have looked through the 100 books list, and I have already read 39 of them. So that leaves me 61 to go.

I have listened to Frank Sinatra's In the Wee Small Hours, which was lovely, (But then I am a Frank fan), Elvis Presley's self-named album, which was entertaining as early Elvis normally is, and the Louvin Brothers' Tragic Songs of Life, which was a little too Country for my taste. Those are the first 3 albums on the 1001 albums list.

In terms of the more important stuff, I have emailed the public library about getting involved in their Storytime program. I've also done some research into dance classes in Dunedin, and think I can probably find something to which I could drag my loving husband. ;) That's something I would really like to do with him, and I think he might be up for it.

That's progress, right?
