Time to start this blog in earnest, even though I know that A.U. is the only one reading. I am actually a rambling man now as I have finally moved out of my house. That makes me rambling physically. Have to see if I ramble conversationally too.
It was a bit weird going back to Collins St today after all the furniture was taken away yesterday. It's surprising how much there is to clean in just one house. A bit of advice - don't buy a place with two and a half bathrooms as it gives you a shit load of toilets to clean. (BTW 2.5 bathrooms is a spectacularly real-estate-ese phrase for two bathrooms and a downstairs lavvy). Still it's all done now and the house is empty. What happens if your empty house get burgled when you aren't there and there's nothing to steal? Anyone know? You know if I thought anyone was reading this I'd be more concerned about letting you know the house was empty and unguarded.
I got Trav to help me take some stuff to the tip. We had to go down into a new pit they'd dug, all step sided and enclosed. I decided all it needed was a purple sky and some bad seventies video effects to make a perfect Dr Who set. There were even 'phone boxes there; sadly Telstra not Police though. Which makes me wonder how Telstra can say they aren't removing phone boxes when there are five at the Kalgoorlie tip. I smell a conspiracy (well, after all, this is the internet, hopefully now if anyone searches for Telstra and conspiracy I'll get more visitors). Trav thought it would be better with the same effects but with a guy in a clown suit being followed by a bulldozer. Any excuse to reference a Bowie song is good by me.
So now I am house sitting in MacDonald street. It's great but a bit odd to be in someone else's place, especially one as spotlessly clean as Pauline keeps this. Paranoia is setting in; I daren't touch the fridge - it's stainless steel...do you have ANY idea how hard that is to clean? Why does every one have SS appliances now? They are just a bugger to look after and cost more. Actually can you imagine real SS appliances? "You haf failed to vipe down ze cooktop ..for zat you vill be SHOT!"
Hmmmm, I just read that back. Definitely rambling.
