Tonight, randomly, and while i was trying to think of something to blog about, someone started letting off fireworks somewhere over Scarborough. So no, that second photo is not bug splatter, but unidentified pyrotechnics captured on my digital camera, with the flash off (a good example of how freaking shaky my hands are – hello, early-onset-Parkinsons!). Perhaps they were the doing of some over-excited Chinese people with innacurate calendars? Well, thanks to Google I now know that Chinese New Year ACTUALLY takes place on February 7th. You’re a whole month early, people! Try and contain yourselves! It’s not the ‘year of the Rat’ just yet. (Ahhh, I love the internet)
Speaking of rats, I saw a dead one today – out the back of the house into which I will be moving with Maja and Jack in the next week or two. However, not even a rotting animal carcass could detract from the house’s charms – a rustic federation-style cottage, it is also a 3 minute walk from my work and probably about a 10 minute walk to both Beatty Park, where I swim a couple of times a week, and also to where I do Yoga, again a couple of times a week. Further to that, it is literally across the road from Hyde Park and, therefore, in comfortable walking distance of Northbridge, Mt Lawley, Leederville and the City. Something tells me I am going to be completely ruined after living in this house – I am literally going to be able to roll out of bed and into my office. Sure beats living in Doubleview – although I can’t deny I am going to miss the occasional impromptu fireworks displays…
P.S. FYI – I am in love with my new Tigers.

You guys are moving?! excitement! How sad I never got to see your scarborough place. Don’t worry about the rat, so long as you never see a live one in the house you’ll be fine. I used to do Yoga at BP, is it a tall tan guy who still does it? because he was the best. I like how I could jsut writ you an email but I feel this is more efficient.

well it’s only really as efficient as an email if you check back here to see whether i have replied or not. but something tells me you might.
and what’s this? you used to do Yoga at a petrol station?? upon your return – which isn’t far away, might i add / rub in – you should come try my death Yoga class! we can align our chakras!!

If there’s one thing I fucking love to do it’s align my fucking chakra! Then rub my third eye! Kundalini! yeah!
BP=Beatty Park, genius.
