living the good life

i had some interesting sounds coming from inside the area where the rangehood flue would be located in the kitchen....

as such i got some rat poison packs after work today and threw a couple in the roof cavity and place a couple others in the kitchen, laundry and garage... that should hopefully take care of them :-) here's hoping anyway lol

wow the rain has been glorious today, pretty much non stop all day long, not too heavy, not too light, just a steady stream from the gods in the sky - truly wonderful stuff :-)

i had gav come and hang out in the doors area this morning, that was really good, even if it was short... i get from him, more so than some others, someone who comes across as a genuine carer, a really good all round bloke, and that's what i love about him, you can have a laugh, joke around, but at the other end of the scale, you can really knuckle down and get heaps of shit done... he's reliable - i think that's the term i'm searching for..

i gave amanda her dozen eggs that she paid in advance for, so the girls out the back can relax for a while now hehehe

although black let out a bit of excitement when i walked out there tonight after i got home - as if she thought i had forgotten about them (well, her mainly lol), so threw them some feed before retreating inside for the night...

bought my global roaming sim card thingo today, now i just need my new phone to string it all together... my phone has done it's usual "running out of space, system may run slowly" message after a couple of months, and no matter how much i try to clear things off it, nothing changes unless i reset it completely back to the factory settings - hence why i've had to do that about half a dozen times in the last 8-10 months or so...

so ballarat paul has managed to convince me to tag along with him on saturday afternoon to a bear's lunch thing that's happening in ballarat..... he finishes work at 3pm so it'll be towards the end of it, so i should survive the proceedings fairly well... not being there for the whole event means i won't have to worry about sitting at a table, taking my glasses off (so everyone is blurry) and avoiding eye contact with anyone and everyone, and avoiding getting into any possible religious, political or sexually preferential conversations....

so now i've already had some dinner and not much else to do, i might have some more banana cake with a cuppa hot camomile tea with honey, and mellow out for the evening.... sounds pretty good to me

the only thing better would be having tomorrow off work, as i would most likely then run a good hot bath and sit in it with the lights out, maybe light 1 candle, and watch the outside darkness as it is interspersed with quick flashes of lights from the trains as they zoom past, along with the changing glow of red and green from the nearby signal for ballarat bound trains.....
