    uh oh.

    So you get used the normal sounds of creaks and groans of the place you’re at. With the new place going up next door (and the shitload of excavation then concrete) this place is sounding different. Just heard a big crack and err yea… walk outside and

    path was done (really well) a year before they started.

    umm

    hrmm

    Guess it calls for a rave choon truly a rave choon for everything these days.

    Lovely day out there though.

    Also found the little messages people left from the partay. That was nice :) Glad to see the gyoza got a mention. That was nagi’s recipe from recipetin. She never misses.

    Also whoever drank the lion’s share of the vodka needs some hydralyte, paracetamol and TLC today :)

    I patted the cow cat and she looked at me like “what’s happening right now?”

    Mind you this is after almost 2 years of feeding lol

    Yesterday we went to Kaprica for lunch. The spaghetti vongole was delicious. 10/10.

    Afterwords , we had a look at the Westwood/Kawakubo exhibition at NGV. Fashion designers and their work don’t move me like artists from other disciplines and their creations.

    I still don’t know why that is.

            Me too. I believe the industry calls it the Georgette Heyer effect. So you have to go out and buy ALL of the books again so the set matches. Utter bullshit and rampant greedmongering imo. I refuse to participate - the words inside don’t change with the cover fortunately.

      You could go around saying you’re feeling lucky and you should be a winner. Someone might feel sorry for you and give you something for free. Then you’ll be the psychic.

    Cow cat let me pat her again until she came to her senses and was like “are you touching me?!?!”.

    I’ve packed a bag of stuff to take to the hospital in case I have to go again in a hurry. Headphones, chargers, kindle, adhd pills and so on.

    Have a mate that will feed Gibson for me if need be and someone to feed the strays as well.

    Got to have safety nets in place.

    I just googled my old place, and saw they’ve flipped the place very quickly. It looks amazing, and it’s gone from a two bedroom to three. I’m happy to see my bamboo and cherry tree kept their places.

    Funnily enough what inspired me to do a search was an article in the Age about dodgy real estate agents buying houses cheaply from their own vendors to flip for profit. It would not surprise me at all to find there was a touch of that with this place - not completely dodgy like the guys in the article, but probably a quick easy sale at a lower price than it could have gotten because the seller is an absent old lady who is easy to persuade to sell for a low price. But to be honest I don’t really care much even if that did happen, I’m just happy we’ve got her into a good place now and the future path with any care needs is all mapped out, the whole situation with moving a parent and myself and selling two houses at the same time was all a bit much happening at once.

      Yep, their reaction when you tell them you put cream in carbonara (even if you don’t), and when you tell them tomatoes came from south america so they can’t complain about anyone’s tasty bastardisations of pizza or bolog anymore.
