Today I spent the afternoon with my good friend Jane. One of the things we discussed, was entering the ABC reality show things called ‘The Abbey’. It seemed like a good idea. When I got home tonight and checked Mystic Medusa’s blog for a bit of insight into why my electricity is failing me, she had mentioned it so I saw it as a sign and emailed the application to Jane.
Jane bought me another one of those delicious mouse things that I have previously photographed and put on this blog, so will resist doing so again. I wanted to enjoy it with a coffee, but the electric kettle and electric stove are holding me back from this right now.
NOT FAIR! is about all I can manage because I have the flu. STILL!!
I am not sure why my power is failing me, but I can say that I am tired and cranky and I want to make myself a coffee but it seems the only thing I can turn on in the house right now, without taking out the entire home’s power is my laptop and fluorescent light. This is a sign I think for me to retire to bed and worry about it in the morning.
Firelighters and shortcuts
Tonight I have spent so much time trying to light a fire because I wanted to do it in a hurry. I didn’t get the things that I needed because I didn’t have time to go back out to the shed to get some smaller peices of wood. I didn’t have firelighters because I keep forgetting them everytime I go to the supermarket. Hence, trying to save time has taken me forever and now from all the billowing and frantic blowing on the dying little embers I have managed to create I am no longer needing a fire because I am quite hot.
I know it is silly and you have my permission to laugh at me.

Beige
I have spent a bit of time this week looking at houses for sale. I like houses that are spacious and a bit different. There aren’t too many around. I have always been willing to overlook many expensive problems for something in that category. Which is quite dangerous to my finances. It’s lucky I have someone who is level headed with me this time.
A bit different, to me, is not paint colour or extreme laminex, but structual difference. I like homes that have been built to incorporate the environment outside or with designs that take into account views or weather. I like houses that are not the same as every other house in the streets. I like streets with individual houses and no twins in sight.
There are a lot of little houses with renovations done that are fabulous and others that are too extreme and appear out of character for the house. I am growing to prefer the beige that Stan our interior decorator when we were in ‘Unique Furnishings’ always recommended with a laugh. Reminds me of the ‘beige joke’ told at my wedding.
