Well. Here we are! Sunday afternoon..... Is a gorgeous, bright, breezy and super sunny day - with the super temperature and humidity to go along with it. But I wouldn't really know, am comfortably tucked in my little office-corner of the little living-room under the nice cool breeze of Pinguino, my best friend the portable air-conditioner! YAY! But yes, most of the chores have been done (tho I'd feel like a fool for bringing the ironing in here to do - wouldn't that defeat the purpose of the a/c??), laundry has been and gone, got a very nice glass of the stand-by white wine that will actually stay cooler for longer now (!), got the hip n' groovy jazz tunes, yes, life is good!
And then there were a few weekends in there, tho there hasn't been much to
report....... And more apologies for busting my one, weak New Year's resolution of checking in a lot more often. Well. Part of the radio silence has been the disgustingly hot weather (pre-a/c, you see), another big reason is the poor little laptop has been behaving not so well - vereeee slooooow, so last week and weekend was frustratingly spent trying to sort out its poor little over-crowded brain........ It's a little better but I think a new one could be in the very near future (bummer dude)..... And the last other reason is it's all just been pretty quiet around here, so not much to report. Surely all two, three of you are tired of reading the same old boring crap weekend after weekend by now.......? I mean, at work we have a little group of us that play the lottery, so until the winning numbers fall our way, it's pretty much Dullsville, AU. Work-home-work-home-chores-work-home, etcetcetc........ And this weekend is even more dull because I've got a very cranky sore throat, think am trying to come down with a cold, and a summer cold too at that - bleck....... So yesterday, between laundry, brief errands and light-ish plumbing repairs (for $2.10 I changed the gasket/seal on the toilet from the tank to the bowl!), all I had the energy to do was watch movies, one of which I can highly recommend called The Way, Way Back. I liked it so much am thinking of watching it again (or at least buying it - excellent soundtrack too)! And that's been the weekend(s)! Oh, one little bright evening - Friday I caught up with my friend Dave who's moved back down here from Cairns/Townsville where he's been living/working in the big scary prison up there, so he just transferred to the big scary one here in town (well, a 'hood out west of town called Wacol) and last week was his first week. Haven't caught up with him in a while, so it was a good evening. Funny, that's two friends of mine named Dave (David) who work in big scary prisons...... Huh.....!
And there you have it! Apologies again for not checking in. Poor little laptop. Otherwise, all is well down thisaway. Surely summer will be on its way out soon and your window of visiting opportunity will again swing open until December..........! Hope you're all well up there.... Getting through what sounds like the world's longest, coldest winter ever (well, not you San Diego...)! If you wanna defrost, c'mon down!
BYE!
J!
