Actually, it's a not so manic, even fairly Serene Saturday. There are some good things going on - like my bloody pressure going down twenty points after no taking some prescription meds. This is a really good thing. It's nice to be feeling more human.
The cat is about to be taken down to his favourite sitters as I'm off to Darwin again tomorrow. I look at what's front of mind and I come up with a few things like:
- Do I go down to the local pet shop where they have kitten cuddles - or do I do this after I've dropped off the cat?
- Should I mop the bathroom and kitchen floors before I drop the cat off?
- Should I see Jane Austen Wrecked My Life tonight or tomorrow lunchtime?
1. What is something you should throw away, but just can't bring yourself to part with?
Old clothes. I really need to do a Marie Kondo chuck out again. Pick up every item of clothing I own and ask myself, "Does this bring me joy? Have I worn this in the last two years? Will I ever wear this/these again? " I reckon I'd get rid of at least half my wardrobe.
A lot of this is laziness / procrastination.
2. When you make yourself a sandwich, do you cut it on the diagonal, straight up the middle, or not at all?
Okay, this is a depends on what it is.
Fairy Bread is always cut on the diagonal. It does not taste the same if it's cut into squares. (Americans - fairy bread is an Australian childhood staple. Blindingly fresh white Wonder Bread buttered and covered in what we call 100s &1000s or what you might call sprinkles.)
3. What song or sound brings back memories of childhood?
Sounds: Rain on a tin roof. Calves shouting for their dinner. The chatter of magpies. The flap of washing on the line. The shouts of beach cricket. The rev of a V8 engine.
4. Who is the first person you call when you have good news?
That depends on the news. Sometimes it's my family, sometimes it's Blarney or Jonella. Depends on who I think needs to hear it first.
5. Have you ever set out on a walk in the rain?
Yes. I love the rain. I prefer the rain in the wet season in Darwin, because the rain is warm - then again, you have to avoid the storms up there. Rain is very cleansing.

I probably could pick clothes. Some of it is that "when I lose enough weight...) apparel.
I have never heard of Fairy Bread but it looks like something children would love.
It is raining at my house right now. We have had an unbelievable amount of rain lately. I did stand on the porch and talk to a neighbor -- we weren't getting wet, though! Fairy Bread looks amazing. I imagine children would love it!!
