So, 8am... The advantages and disadvantages of getting up at the same time as Z and pushing him off to work.
Advantages: Helps with getting a vaguely sensible sleeping pattern reestablished. More of the morning is useful etc.
Disadvantages: NZ time difference is only an hour and a half at present so NZ Herald website is currently being slowed down by the quota of NZ who get into work and check it while infusing their brains with caffiene before starting real work - we go off daylight savings this weekend, so that shouldn't last.

And it was 29 degrees outside around 7:30am. Not a good start. - From the history bit of the standard weather website, looks like it got down to 25 degrees by midnight, then warmed up... Hope the rain/cooler change somes through soon.

Free Journal articles on Vikings (Yay!)

Those who get the SCANews feed will already have it, but for those interested in Viking stuff, Blackwell Publishing is offering Acta Archaeologica 2000 v71 as their free sample issue at present. The issue specializes in Viking stuff and has some quite cool stuff, with each article downloadable as a PDF. Not certain how long it will stay free for.

And yes, basal_surge, I did download them all. Look when you get home:)

Just about time to put the hot cross buns in... Skipping the glaze and cross though. Hot uncrossed buns?
