Friday Five ...........

It's been a while since i saw a 'friday five' on LJ ([info]pratibha75, are you listening?), so i decided to contribute some noise :

(1) Name 3 (or more) things you are looking forward to this weekend.
(2) What did you have for breakfast today?
(3) Did you see the latest Harry Potter movie?
(4) How's the weather where you are?
(5) How busy are you these days?



My answers :

(1) Meeting some people very dear to me. The first snow of the season. The birthday party of a classmate.

(2) Coffee and bananas.

(3) Not yet - in fact, i haven't seen any. Want to see them in order, but need to get the DVD of the third one.

(4) Cold, and rainy ........ -1.2 degrees celsius right now, here in Cologne, Germany.

(5) Verrry. Loving it, mostly :-)



May all those things you're looking forward to work out well and make for a lovely weekend :-)

Healthy breakfast, depending on the omelette & whether you buttered your toast ;-)

Weather and working on weekends sounds terrible ..... and having just 8.5 hours at home, time to get ready included, doesn't sound good either :-/

At least you seem to have a good weekend planned :-)

Masala dosa is your best friend :-p ?

Your breakfast seems a bit on the heavy side - TGIF spirit, eh?

You Muggle, you ..... and isn't really early where you are?

1. The new IMAX theater, catching up with friends, Season 4 of Sex and the City. :p
2. A cup of milk and a bowl of sporuts; na, I am not on health food, this is the best I can do at 7:15 in the morning.
3. Nope. Want to see it tomorrow at IMAX. Friends are being spoilt sport though.
4. Winter's almost here. Right now, mornings and evenings are pleasantly chilly, while afternoons are still warm.
5. As busy as I like. This does not happen often. I have had around 6.5 hours of work every day of this week. Neat.

November 25 2005, 16:18:21 UTC 6 years ago

Spoilt sport? Now that's an interesting construction!
