Season’s greetings, y’all ! [grin]

Well, Colorado would probably say it like that; and seeing as how she is A Noteworthy Person with a Noteworthy Blog, I’m doing the same.  🙂 I’m in a pretty good mood, owing to having almost viewed a new place yesterday. One almost views a potential abode by turning up wearing The Wrong Shoes. They … Continue reading Season’s greetings, y’all ! [grin]

So that’s it until June

I can’t move, after all: I didn’t find a place to move to in the month after which I’d told my Property Manager I would be gone. Of all the places I found – not sure how many, but probably around a dozen – there were three I really and truly wanted: one was in … Continue reading So that’s it until June

It’s my lucky day !

Hope you can make it out; it would be a shame to miss it. 😦 I haven’t had this kind of spam for absolutely yonks; wonder why it’s started up again ? Oh well, I guess any change from the ENDLESS ads for online casinos should be welcomed. And after all, that is a superior … Continue reading It’s my lucky day !

Another loop ..

Look ! – they’ve added a shitload of cables and things. Only the gods know what stuff they’re all for. And speaking of the stuff, see the silt build-up in the tanks ? But the fun activity today is the truck sucking up who knows what from the pit. You shoulda seen the backing and … Continue reading Another loop ..

Just keeping yous in the loop

So I l peer over the balcony and see THAT !! – gallons and gallons (whatever gallons are in metric measurement) of .. some liquid being poured out from left to right into the top left corner of the tank on the left – from  behind the little tree – and also from the tank … Continue reading Just keeping yous in the loop

Said I would, didn’t I ..?

Yeah, it’s on again – me moving. Showing you that I shot from my balcony. And that is the latest version. Doubt it’s the final one. The full intersection:  Elizabeth Street, Victoria Street and the beginning of Leicester Street – luverly, isn’t it ? There’s no end to the construction, it seems. You may begin … Continue reading Said I would, didn’t I ..?

On Life – or, rather, On Cholesterol

I’m immortal, surely ! – I must be. It isn’t possible that I’m going to kark at any stage: I’m ME, alive, breathing, thinking, eating, writing, crocheting, loving my little mog and a small, select group of humans and [deep breath] planning to move again. (Shut up. More later.) But. Friday I saw my GP, … Continue reading On Life – or, rather, On Cholesterol

Very strange .. it’s all new !

I hear stuff I doubt I’ve heard before – the noise that pulling on my jeans makes, to start with. Then the startling loudness of me swearing when I don’t get the hook into the first eye behind my bra – heavens ! Can the whole building hear me too ?? Are they all rolling … Continue reading Very strange .. it’s all new !

Anyone think this augurs well ??

Here are three images shot from my little balcony that overlooks not only my own thoroughfare – Leicester Street (try to imagine me telling Chinese people my address ..) – but also the intersection of Elizabeth Street and Victoria Road, of which you can see a bit on the left:  I hear it’s going to … Continue reading Anyone think this augurs well ??

Now this is really a-ma-zing !!

And I’ve been telling visitors to the city of my heart, where I now live forever (well for a few more years, anyway) that they’ve missed many construction deadlines ! If this latest report is true – and seeing as how those caustic comments of mine were also based on media reports, I may be … Continue reading Now this is really a-ma-zing !!
