Student loan loophole closes (NZ Herald) Tuesday November 14, 2006 By Ruth Berry

( Cause it will disappear at some point )

Bit late for some of that but still nice to see they are paying slight attention.

Books read

Time to update/get back to the books read list.

(large gap where I forgot to keep track for a while - there was a binge on Mercedes Lackey and Anne McCaffrey for a little while there)
Arrows of the Queen by Mercedes Lackey
Arrows Flight by Mercedes Lackey
Arrows Fall by Mercedes Lackey
Storm Warning by Mercedes Lackey
Storm Rising by Mercedes Lackey
Storm Breaking by Mercedes Lackey
The Rowan by Anne McCaffrey
To Ride Pegasus by Anne McCaffrey
Pagasus in Flight by Anne McCaffrey
The Crystal Singer by Anne McCaffrey
Monstorous Regiment by Terry Pratchett
The Story of the Stone by Barry Hughart
Nylon Angel by Marianne de Pierres

All of the non Lackey/McCaffrey's are fairly dark books, especialy for the first two, compared to their usual/other writings. Nylon Angel wasn't bad, but I think may appeal more to the Blade/Anita Blake/Underworld fans - though without the vampires. Enough of a twist to the end that I am mildly interested in the next in the series, but only via library/loan/max $5.

Time to check job websites, tweak a layout pattern and start cutting fabric before dance practice.

Mmmmmm
Canterbury Archeological trust. They have pretty stuff in their galleries an impressive publications collection, and their Annual Reports look good - of the free downloadable bits, as they have a bunch of the more recent ones downloadable.
NB the link that got me there was from the Horn, Bone and Antler list (yahoo) and was an image of a carved bone handled Viking era craft knife.
