Back
> I'm back. It was fun. I am wrecked. Until I can write more coherently about the highlights...here's Keri and I looking glam at the awards dinner (it's amazing what good photos you can take one handed after a few champagnes!) PS Wah, melbourne weather.
Off
Cat update: Not fight. Anal gland abscess (OUCH). He had an operation yesterday and is currently hiding under my bed singing a sad little cat opera that goes something like "Oh my butt hurts and I've got a stupid collar on my head and I think I'll go and eat worms"....
Oh the glamourous life
Another installment in 'weird things the orange cat has done'. The other day he got himself into a little blue as he sometimes does (you'd think he'd learn that he never wins but this is the orange cat). So the last few days he's been a bit quiet and sorry for...
Sunshine and sponges
It's almost warm in Melbourne today...almost mild might be a better description. The sun is out and doing its best to raise the temperature about 14 degrees. It might even have succeeded. The ornamental pear in front of my house is blooming, the jonquils are showing...
Demands, demands
Melbourne has decided to turn on some sunshine for the weekend. We've had three or four beautifully sunny days in a row. Still cold but almost cold without an edge like an early spring day. Which probably means that things are about to turn and we'll have a month of...
Sleepy
Here's the thing about being sick and having time off work at the busiest time of year. It comes back to bite you. It's not like anyone else actually does the work for you. Net result, this week I have more than made up for the days off last week. Sigh. And I'm not...
A good day
I have spent most of this week coughing and spluttering and fighting off the same virus that about 60% of the people in my office seem to be suffering from. Net result - Wednesday and Thursday largely involved sleeping or lying on my couch. This morning (my day off),...
Wax on, wax off
Well, paint on, dirt off. It's amazing how grubby windowframes can get! And blinds but I'm not washing them. They will be binned when the new ones arrive....yippeeeeeee. Sugar soap has been applied, sandpaper has been used. Now I'm off to buy tickets for Pirates...
Happy new financial year’s eve
Which is really lame but I heard someone say it on the radio. I'm tipping it won't catch on. Because anyone who has a job vaguely finance related knows 30 June means two months of ridiculous busy-ness about to happen. Not much to celebrate. Though I did get a pay...
Done
It's done. I'm not sure how. Today I wrote over thirty pages. Over 6 thousand words. More than I've ever written in a day. In maybe five hours. Something shook loose and the movie started playing in my head and this sucker is done. At least, the DLD draft is. I'm sure...
