country on fire, but we soak up the violins on a bloody hot night
Reasons to be cheerful about living in Canada:
- no springtime hayFever in September-December!
- no shroud of smoke covering the entire city where you live so the buildings are only faintly visible (ie. your entire country is not on fire).
- no days spent inside cowering from 42 degree heat.
extraordinary loveliness
i have had the most wonderful birthday celebration, the final in a big series. Jude and Jody-Lee surpassed themselves in cooking, hospitality and astounding generosity. I have no idea how i shall ever return such huge favours. People who missed out on these Footscray Gourmandes' sumptuous sausage rolls, goat's cheese tartlets, cucumber and feta wraps, as well as Annie's lemon slices - are the unluckiest people in the world, i'm very sorry.
Among the very few things to go horribly wrong were: no Martini-Mahers, and no sister KT. Oh and Lola couldn't make it either, despite being coincidentally in the Dandenongs that night. Many apologies, and a few unexpected absences, thanks to the 37 degree heat.
Healthy, happy, but Grumpiness Approaches
Yes the evil buckwheat monster has left my body, and i am healthy again, fresh as a light thunderstorm in sunny springtime melbourne. Phew.
Now it's back to study time, so my Grumpy-meter will be rising. (No, no, michael, embrace the joy of learning!)
(Here's an old halloween entry)
i have been spending far too much time online as usual, and found this astonishingly silly 'tv' serial: "The only thing dry about this Halloween was the Canada Dry."
