let there be light!

Last night I finally (we were waiting for the painter to finish doing his thing) installed a light on our stairway [looks great .... pics to follow], and I just installed a light on the upstairs landing.

I got sneaky and managed to organise a wifi hotspot installation at 15h30 near where I live, so I got home before 5pm today ... YAY - long weekend ... :-)
(beat the rushhour traffic, too).

I got tagged by Ash for a book-related survey ...
Let's see whether I even have answers for any:

1. Total number of books I've owned.
Does this include school books???
I guess, excluding prescribed reading, I've owned fewer than 100 books.

2. Last book I bought.
jeez, how'm I supposed to remember that?!
Could it be the map book I bought a year ago when I was lost on the highway leaving Munich?
Do the manuals that arrived with my appliances count ?
I suppose it's Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, last year.

3. The last book I read.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - but I haven't finished yet.
I've taken a sabbatical for a while, and will resume in due course.

4. 5 books that mean a lot to me.
I share no kinship with my books... they are simply printed words. But, depending on how far I may stretch this definition, I suppose my matric yearbook has some sentimental value in a weird kinda way. And ... ummm... I enjoy my cookery books, although I need to haul them out from the cellar sometime and make space for them downstairs near the kitchen.
So that's two so far ... *scratches head*

I used to be SUCH a bookworm in junior school ... wonder what happened.. Shakespeare and Bronte, perhaps?
but I digress...

My Passport! woohoo.. that's three..

and I'll use poetic licence and pretend that I've listed five :-)
So, moving on...


5. Which 5 people would you most like to see fill this out in their blog?
Saddam Hussein, Dalai Lama, George W. Bush, whoever the most recent nobel literature prize winner is, and Oprah (not that I care about her, but she apparently has a book club and I wonder if she has some financial interest in everyone buying the book she recommends ... so if I knew what she read in her spare time, I'd buy shares in the printing companies of whatever may be announced next. HA!)

Phew ... that was arduous!
