I'm back home in Palmerston North for about a week. Yesterday was Christmas - I hope you had a nice day. I spent it with my family; we sat on the lawn in the sunshine, talked about things that'd been happening, and ate really nice food. I made a pie - I'll post the recipe shortly.
I felt like I related to my family better than in the past. Talking to them was easy.
My family really liked the presents I made them. The poncho is still a work in progress, but it's looking good.
I got a book about New Zealand's biogeographical history, bicycle lights, and towels. What are your thoughts on the Oxford comma used in the previous sentence? I enjoy using them, perhaps more than I should.
It feels nice to be back in PN, though I'm not sure how much longer that feeling may last. PN strikes me as being a flat city, which is strange considering I've been in Christchurch for three years.
My bed feels so comfortable, it's hard to leave in the mornings.
'who gives a fuck about an oxford comma' - vampire weekend
ReplyDeletebut seriously, i think about oxford commas' propriety all the time. i think you used it well.
i did not realise that this is not the standard way to list things. i like the oxford/serial comma - i use it all the time.
ReplyDeleteThanks Darian. The last time I was in Wellington, that VW song played at a byo dinner I was at, and I drunkenly explained the concept of Oxford commas to other diners.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - I think it's a very New Zealand way of writing, taught at school and modelled on the British.
