THE 3 NiCEST THiNGS i SMELLED TODAY

freesias on glenlyon

jasmine on albert

coffee at small block

hello fox, i hope this is to your liking.
i think i got the hang of it.
i definately got the hang of beer at the retreat.
can someone please give me the correct spelling of

definately-definatly-definitely

oh, i think it may be the last one!

i'm smiling over a letter from the vicstar, it makes me miss her less and more all at once. (she's away for a few weeks working in queensland somewhere far from cell phone reception)

i'm at home today, going through paperwork, having a bit of a clean up. how do i manage to accumulate so much stuff in so little time? argh, i drive myself crazy. surely there's no need for all this stuff! i'm not sure where i'm going to store it when i leave melbourne, no sense in dragging a whole lot of stuff with me if i might not be gone for long. the desert heat will chase me away, either back to melbourne or back to new zealand or back to.. i don't know. it scares me.

it's very pretty

THiNGS i DiD TODAY:

sat in one of my favourite cafes with one of my favourite girls. (hello miss james, you know i'm only updating because you told me to)

sat on a jetty for a couple of hours, with a good book and the sun on my back.

sat on a colourful bench and listened to some slightly-too-hippy music while kids played a parashute game with much laughter.

sat on a tram beside a stinky man (he hemmed me in, bleurgh!!).

sat in fed square with mich and drank a beer and ate some eggplant japanese style.

sat at mario's with mich and drank a very good coffee.

sat on frey's bed and watched rove.

sat on my bed and wondered what to write.

NEW DiRECTiONS

i spent 3 days last week with my girl and our mutual friends, down clifton springs way. it was so good to have their company, and so good to have that time with vic. we spent hours walking on the beach, fossicking for seaglass and interesting shells, and very much enjoying each others company.
we drove back to melbourne on thursday, and in the morning i went to work and she went to the airport.
when vic landed she sent me this text: "babe, am sad. will have to be a better way than this. xx"
i replied that i agreed, and we'd work something out.

two hours later my boss called me into her office and fired me, for no particular reason other than that she doesn't much like me. well, as you can imagine, that threw me! particularly as i quickly remembered that i was to be out of a home in a couple of weeks, and had made no plans regarding a new abode. i walked out of work, and got on a tram to the beach. it's the best thing i could've done, an hour in the sunshine helped to clear my head and lead me to thinking about my options.

the option i've chosen, the only obvious one, is to go and try my hand at desert life for a while. perhaps it'll just be a few weeks, perhaps it'll be a longer stint. i hope it works out there, i would like that. i am excited to be embarking on this adventure, it's not what i saw myself doing.. but it's perfect. the timing is too much of a coincidence for me to ignore this possibility.

so that's it blogfolks, i'm off to the outback to live in a tiny town on my own, as vic will be away for weeks at a time.

it scares the shit out of me, but at the same time it just feels so very very right.

so, eroica, what did you do this week?

well, blogfolk, i lost my job.

it's been a long day.
thank god for manny.

DEAR YOU

being sick is so dumb. the no energy and the no brain and the darksome thoughts. so exciting that someone super special (YOU!) brought around tissues and orange juice. i am oh so grateful, and pleased to have had your company for a few minutes. lucky me!
so, thank you, you are the beez kneez!

love from me
