[m i a o w] the cat

The new season really made a stylish entry to my area. From about 7pm last night it began raining - for the first time since APRIL - and didn’t stop until this afternoon at 2pm. It was truly a balm to the soul. Everything is beyond dry. I mowed out the front along the street two days ago, and you couldn’t see me for dust. Even though this rain means that the grass is now going to go psycho and I will have to mow like a demon, I don’t care. Maybe [looks hopeful] the vegie garden will revive? In other news, I am supposed to be going to a conference in Perth in October. I had originally said I’d be leaving from Melbourne, as I was convinced we would have sold up and moved by then…yeah right. So now it’s looking like I’ll have to fly to Melbourne and then to Brisbane. I have been able to organise a direct flight from Brisbane to Perth but my boss says he has to ‘think about what’s best’. I could tell him ‘what’s best’ is that I fly there directly, goddamnit, and the more time he spends debating with himself, the more the airfares are going to eat up my exhausted piece of plastic.
