Wow. Five to midnight. I made it! 
Hands up who wants to know about the trip?

a Ooh, 30th November is tomorrow!
b I'm going on a day trip to Canterbury on 30th November!
So a + b =
I'm going to Canterbury tomorrow!! 
*jumps up and down in excitement*
It's organised by local teachers of English and parents of pupils.
Free time in the morning, and panto (Jack and the Beanstalk) at 2:30. I've never been to a panto. It'll be interesting. 
They do this every year, as well as second one (in the Spring, I think, but that one has no activities planned, just a plain free-time trip).
I went to the other one a few years back, but it's the first time I've been to this one.
Right, so... What do I need...
ID card : 
foreign money :
credit card to get some more foreign money because £9.71 might not be enough for a day :
inflatable pillow for sleeping on the bus :
big warm scarf for sleeping on the bus : 
biscuits for eating on the bus when not sleeping : 
alarm clock set for 4:30am : 
list of charity shops in the city centre :
umbrella (because if you have one, then it won't rain) :
map to the departure point :
(well, I don't *actually* have a map for this, but I've asked Google, and it's really easy to get to, so I'll be fine)
Ok, well, it's 6:30ish, and I'm pretty much ready to go to bed.
If I do manage tomorrow's posting, it'll be from the bus. I can tell you all about the travel-sick kids and the ID card-less parents. I bet you're looking forward to that!

It's ten past ten.
That's 22:22.
I like that.
One of my little joys in life have to do with "pretty" numbers.
Clocking out for lunch at 12:34 is probably my favourite, but 12:12 is also quite cool.
And I won't even mention the times when I manage to clock out at 18:18.
Also, we secretaries are the ones in charge of giving reference numbers to all letters sent by our colleagues, as well as the emails that we receive from the outside.
So I'm always grinning when I get to number 1111, or more recently we had number 2828, and probably before the weekend we will get 2882.
Then, there's my birth year. That's the one I really *really* want to grab myself (won't let my colleague have that one, oh no, Sir! That's right, over my dead body!), but the years when something important happened are nice too.
I quite like 1066, of course, or 1215, or 1789 (which has the added quality of having 7-8-9 as a bonus!).
And pretty much all the 1900s too.
Am I abnormally silly?

Nothing much happened today, so I had time to go through the past google doodle mini-games.
I hadn't realised at the time, that the Roswell one was actually a game, so I finally got round to playing it. 
I also had another go at the Olympic ones (canoe slalom, basket ball, hurdles and football/soccer).
The ice-rink machine one didn't work, so I couldn't give it another try. Pity.
I didn't have time, however, to play the Star Trek or the Pacman ones. 
Work, or something. 
That'll be for another day.
(To get to the past google doodles, just leave the search box blank and click "I'm feeling lucky". Then if you want the mini games, just say so in the doodle search box).

Tuesday night is English-speaking night!
And it's late, so I'll make it a short one.
Tonight, they had live music playing. There were 5 people with: a guitar, a bass, a clarinet, a trombone and the piano that always sits in a corner.
They were playing/singing some blues-y jazzy songs.
It was very pleasant.
