    Good news. My husband managed to talk to the neighbour and apparently they are renting. Got the details now. Still no sign of the wife. I think she might be in the freezer.

    I wish I could open a window without having to stand guard so someone doesn’t hang from the flyscreen and destroy it.

    Not naming names.

    Despite a brief stormy interlude without power and the "assistance "of Miss Meow I have finished today’s sewing project.

    The curtain is for the doorway to my laundry, which is uninsulated and draughty and has just been closed off by an old blanket tacked in the opening for some years. At one stage it had a sliding door, but because there is not enough space next to the door to allow it to fully open it always partially blocked the doorway, and there is not really room for a hinged door there either. So a curtain seems the best solution, and also allows Mr Woof free access to the laundry, which is where his dog door is. The new curtain is thick woven fabric with a thermal lining so should keep the heat/cold out fairly well. It needs some weights in the bottom to sit more evenly, but I think I’ve done enough for one day.

      I like it, especially the pelmet bit. You’re really quite handy aren’t you, with the gardening and preserving and making things… great skills to have. If the world goes to hell in a haycart I really hope there’s a place for you to subsist and live a simple but rewardingly self sufficient life. I’ll be on the outside with my machete and hunting knife at the ready, keeping to the shadows to avoid the petrol hunting raider gangs and zombie hoards.

      Cut a hole at the right height and you’ve got yourself a gloryhole too. Great work.

        Cacti are deffo part of the sixth seal. Sun goes black, the moon turns red, stars fall to earth and cacti take to the air

    Hello everyone, hopefully you’re all ok. We have no power in Burwood, and our phone internet is dial up speed. Our ETA for power to be back on is also 1pm on Thursday. I reeeeeaally hope it doesn’t take that long, I’m not built for sponge baths.

      Thursday, damn that’s rough! I saw on the news there was a fallen high voltage tower, that could be why it’s taking so long. Hopefully you can go to another suburb friend/family/workplace to charge devices and have a shower if needed?

    Today was an awful day to be running around the CBD. Despite staying indoors as much as possible, all the sun protection and water, I’ve been thoroughly dessicated in this roasting heat and attacked in the face by aggressive mini tornadoes of dried leaves. I’m so over it.

    Plus side is, the drive went smoothly and my niece is very nicely set up. So glad I remembered the toilet paper. Just gotta stay awake till 8 then go home and zonk out.

    Our fence is completely down now between us and the fuckwits next door. Every time my husband goes to speak to them they run inside and ignore his banging on the door.

    This time my husband knocked on their back door and they still didn’t answer. The old cunt lives outside like a hobbo for fucksake. I’m going to put a curse on them.

    Everybody has had their brains cooked. An asleep boyo informed me he need to go walk the crayfish.

      Channelling the Mock Turtle’s song in Alice in Wonderland. Given that lobsters and crayfish are pretty much the same.

      “Will you walk a little faster?” said a whiting to a snail. "There’s a porpoise close behind us, and he’s treading on my tail. See how eagerly the lobsters and the turtles all advance! They are waiting on the shingle — will you come and join the dance? Will you, won’t you, will you, won’t you, will you join the dance?

      “You can really have no notion how delightful it will be, When they take us up and throw us, with the lobsters, out to sea!” But the snail replied “Too far, too far!” and gave a look askance— Said he thanked the whiting kindly, but he would not join the dance. Would not, could not, would not, could not, would not join the dance.

      “What matters it how far we go?” his scaly friend replied. "There is another shore, you know, upon the other side. The further off from England the nearer is to France— Then turn not pale, beloved snail, but come and join the dance? Will you, won’t you, will you, won’t you, won’t you join the dance?
