I’ve never had to buy any furniture before. Ever. I’ve never walked into a furniture store willingly. That innocence was robbed from me this weekend by brutal necessity, given that – despite the novelty – sleeping in the hammock outside would inevitably get tired. Especially when winter arrives. ;) I went into it pretty optimistic… Read more
Well, the moving stuff has begun, which has me running around in circles changing addresses and trying to organise stuff. That combined with on-and-off illness the last week or so (nothing much to worry about; good old stress and dehydration for the most part) took out nearly three whole days. Yay.

No news of note to report. I’m still considering travel options… Egypt would be great except I can’t find any way to get to Melbourne from there that isn’t ridiculously expensive (cheapest thus far is $3,600, for that single, one-way leg of the trip). Which sucks, because it’d otherwise be perfect. :( So anyway, still… Read more
