My weekend plans have all changed. The tea blending workshop has been postponed because Jonella isn't well. A movie with Blarney has also been postponed due to unforeseen circumstances - so I find myself at a look end.
So far:
- I've been to meditation.
- Had breakfast with the meditation crew.
- Read 50 pages of my book.
- Washed the cat's blankets - it's a great day for this and it's nice to have them fresh.
- Done some ironing
- Psyched myself up to do some 'big' housework.
- and booked myself a ticket to see a French film (Colours of Time)
- and psyched myself up to do some job hunting.
1. Your MOST overused word or phrase:
Oh, there are a few of them.
Awesome. Horrid work, normally said in jest.
Actually. I pepper my speech with this far too often.
And the F word. Normally said under my breath. Roy Kent is my spirit animal.
2. Your BIGGEST expense:
Depends on what you call an expense. My biggest living expense is rent, followed by insurance and utilities bills. My car, which is well maintained, still costs be a heap in insurance, registration and servicing.
Fun expenses include, theatre, cinema, books and holidays - all of which are necessary to keep your spirit happy.
3. Your WORST fear:
My most irrational fear is huntsman spiders. Although they aren't poisonous the creep the hell out of me.
On a more existential level, I fear dying alone a painful death.
I have many other fears, but that is why I'm currently talking regularly to a psychologist to help sort some of these things out.
4. Your BEST memory of Summer 26:
As I'm Australian, Summer was six months ago, and I'm not a fan of Summer - too hot. But this year, my favourite memory was going to David Byrne's Who is the Sky concert with a friend, who's just as big a Talking Heads tragic as I am. This happened in January. It was awesome. Fabulous night at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl on a perfect night - not too hot, not raining, not windy - all weather patterns that can afflict Melbourne on any given day. I was, with a good friend and the best music ever. Superlative night.

David Byrne was in our area this past week! But I didn't see him. I did see Talking Heads in 1984, FWIW. I need to find a shrink.
We have one of the same overused words. I don't drive, and since just about everyone else in my life does, I sometimes feel bad about it. But you bring up a good point – cars are expensive! I feel better off now.
You and The Gal Herself share one of your favorite words. I rarely use that one, but I do think it quite often. When I think it, I hear Roy Kent's voice saying it!
