this week

ok. what's been happening. had a birthday and a leaving to celebrate in our favourite pizza joint. went to test drive a car. fell in love. bought it. spent the rest of the week trying to buy affordable insurance. failed - they fleeced me. then had to queue to speak to three people to get a residents parking permit only for them to tell me they would only give me a month as i didn't have the complete logbook as I HAD ONLY JUST BOUGHT THE CAR. oh for flips sake. then we had a stock take and i got to bed at 3ish only to lie and stare at the ceiling willing sleep to come upon me. and we still have no air conditioning.

handsome family

listening to new album. quite good actually. interesting lyrics:

when automatic sinks in airports
no longer see your hands
and elevator doors close on you,
when buses drive right past.
when the only voice that answers
is the whir of a ceiling fan
your great journey has begun.

track three very tom waitsy.

gardens

just back from melting in some open gardens. all very jolly. but glad to be back in my (closed) garden. i like my garden.

and so much to say...

i know, i've been bad! i don't know. you'd have thought it easy to just write one sentence a day but no. well that's it for today. i'm exhausted!
