Will it ever end?

It’s been a week since I wrote.
Many reasons.

I didn’t have anything specific to write about
This is not specifically true – there are things I could have written about.
I was working on a new stylesheet for tempusfugit
This is partially true. I did spend a couple of days on this. I am [...]

A Crabby Mood

Not so bad as you would think. The day wasn’t that bad. In fact (and excuse my grammatical errors – a six-pack of cascade will do that to you) we went crabbing today. Auntie ‘I’ (receptionist at the clinic) took us on a bit of a tour. I met Mark [...]

Now is the Thursday of mine discontent!

Today is a fucked day.
I don’t know why.
I woke up.
From then on it was fucked.
First… I had no homemade bread. Which meant I was forced to endure bought stuff. Yuck!
It was hot at even 8am today.
Tucking fypical that the clinic air-conditioners should choose today NOT to work.
The clinic was rather lacking in patients [...]

Birthday Candles and the Washed Potato

A basket of groceries cost me 97 dollars yesterday. That is… a carry basket.
So it’s an expensive little time here on Groote.
And muggy.
Thank goodness [...]

Like Swimming In Warm Urine.

Hello World!!
Here I am in Darwin.
Muggy as all buggery. It honestly feels like what I guess it must feel like if you were to swim in a pool of warm urine.
Having said that I can only speculate as to what it would be like to marinate in urine (be that mine or [...]

My Day

This morning was shocking, I was in stitches later on and I got plastered this afternoon.
Not as interesting as you might think. I was not having a bad morning, I was not laughing following my bad morning and I did not consume any alcohol this afternoon. Sorry to disappoint.
What I did today was [...]

The Fabric Softener-Pig’s Trotter Juxtaposition

If I could think of two things that should really never appear in the same discussion, let alone the same sentence it’s “pig’s trotter” and “fabric softener”. They just don’t seem to have anything remotely connected between them…..wrong!.
Fabric softener (bless it’s [soft] cotton socks) appears to work its softening magic on far more than [...]
