GAH GAH GAH!

I have a lot of complex analysis to offer on current world events, but most of it boils down to this classic sign:

In other news, we have a house! It's, er, odd. It's weatherboard, which will be a first for me, but it is large and light and has a massive covered deck at the back. Or, as I refer to it, my future tapdancing studio. It might be fabulous or we might be moving again in a year. I have an agreement that next house WILL be an Edwardian treasure. We move next week, I apologise in advance for the whining.

In other other news, HAPPY BIRTHDAY [livejournal.com profile] queerbychoice! I hope that this year is nothing like last year. May you be surrounded only by sane people and may all your plants thrive.

Happy birthday, too, to [livejournal.com profile] ellie_nor. I hope that all the present fairies are catching a cab to your place, too laden down to fly!

Congratulations~! The pic won't load for me, but yay for airy and light houses!

Thank you! We're only renting it, but I have an agreement that I can do what I like with the garden, so that will be fun at any rate. And if I hate it, it will be all the more incentive to save up to buy the sort of house I like!

I've changed out the pic: I think I may have stuffed it up in the original. Not polite language, but pretty much what I have been shouting at the news all week. Some sailor somewhere is really missing his foul language.

I should be better, especially at work. We have Americans visiting the office this week: I am absolutely not allowed to talk, as our ad department have been raving bastards all month and I have spent the last week only able to refer to them as cocking cocks. My entire staff have promised to go along with me in the 'I have terrible laryngitis' plan.

sign says it all indeed. I can't watch the news anymore because it makes me want to hang myself in despair.
In an effort to put some nice back in the universe I rescued a tiny field mouse that was stuck in one of the basement window wells. And then reveled in the discovery of not one but two plum trees ( 2 diff varieties) on our property I did not know about.

Gardening will be awesome. Growing things you can eat even more awesome.

Am crying for Villa Villerkulla, already. *snif* Well, next year, then? Whenever I come to Sydney at least I know, where to go for a gout of serious tapdancing *phew*! If you let me in, that is. I´ll bring chewing gum. No, wait, you have by then moved to Villa Villerkulla so I steer my horse westward.

Good luck with the move, lovely. I hope the new house is amazing, and there is no world in which having a tap dancing studio is a bad thing.

The world is in a bit of a mess, isn't it? With Tony fucking over Aus, and the craziness over here, it's hard to look forward and not despair.

*hugs*

That sign does say it all, doesn't it?
Good luck on the move.

Thank you! Yes, that's exactly what I need!

And congratulations on your house!

And hello, birthday twin [livejournal.com profile] ellie_nor!

*waves* More birthday twins! \o/

It's sad that the sign is so relevant.

Congrats on the new house/studio!

Eee! That's so exciting! Congrats on the house, dear, it sounds peffct.

You're moving house! (why yes I'm behind the times, we've just moved house and it took forever to get the internet connected). While unpacking I came across a spare set of your current house keys so I guess I should pop those in the post to you before they become irrelevant!

Where did you end up?

[identity profile] winnett.livejournal.com 2014-07-22 12:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Congrats on the house!! I'm not sure what a weatherboard is. I'll have to go look. And moving sucks, so whine all you want.

[identity profile] ellie-nor.livejournal.com 2014-07-22 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you very, very much for the birthday wishes! ♥

Re. that sign: YES.

And ooooh, new house! Large and light sounds awesome.

That sign is so appropriate. Ughhh.

Grats on your house!
