At present, Nick and I are being lulled by the soothing sounds of... a chainsaw. Yeah, props to our real estate agent for letting us know that Jim's Fencing (is there ANY INDUSTRY PIE that Jim DOESN'T have a finger in?) would be popping by to park a big mofo truck or two backing onto our window, leaving piles of palings in front of our balcony and tearing down the fence next to our flat with loud, dangerous power tools.
Because of the general serenity this caused at our humble abode, we headed of to Brunswick St to enjoy tea in a more peaceful surrounding (amazing how constant traffic, trams and idiots going on about how annoying it was that their friend spouted all "Eastern mythicism" pretension when he took drugs could be more calming than our own house...). Running on the tea theme, we also popped into T2, where we were convinced to buy yummy Marakech tea (gunpowder green and lots of mint... tastes like the tea they serve at Morroccan Soup Bar and YUMMY), a special strainer for preparing sensitive green tea, and to whence I shall be retrurning today with my resume. Seriously, apart from a store that also combined chocolate and books, could there be a better place for me to work? Plus I totally don't have a job, so any work is good. Thank god I've got a day's temping tomorrow at Fenton's, where I was working after my Return to Oz.
Anyway, yesterday finished on a Marathon- the Chaddy VIP night, where my sister and I actively shopped (as opposed to pleasant, harmonious browsing) for four hours straight. Kudos to Chaddy for better than usual freebies (three glasses of reasonable white wine, one glass of ordinary red, four packs of cheese and crackers and two donuts. Why buy dinner?), and yay for having basically finished the xmas shopping in impressive bargain hunting style. I also now have an awesome hand luggage case for Europe, as I've come to conclusion that my Flying Purple People Eater (Enormous purple suitcase lugged to Indonesia) really is too Enormous (capitals deliberate) to take to Europe, so I'll be taking my fab new hand luggage and supplementing it with the backpack my nana took to Europe twenty years ago. Vintage. Awesome. Still works fine. They just don't make things they way they used to...
