Also in other exciting news, my ginger bug efforts have this time rewarded me with fizzy delicious ginger beer instead of flat delicious ginger cordial.
I am calling this a win.

I am on a train for the first time in years.
How very unusual.

Today I had an extended conversation with my youngest child (he's 20 lol) about the definition of genres in books. A few interesting questions were raised. First!

Why is it, that to me, a trilogy or a 5 book series feels more complete than a duo or a 4 book series?

Dear #blueskyfam I keep getting redirected to other social networks and forgetting you are here. I am going to endeavour to do better, coz this space is better.

Tell me where you live without telling me where you live.....

On the way to work this morning I escorted a koala off the middle of the road, dodged 3 kangaroos... and pulled up in my office carpark to this.

What a weird day today has been. I feel like many more are coming. I'm holding out that when this is done I feel like my space is actually my space, rather than a place for constant silent criticism.

Weather. It's a day about weather.

In other news, my market tonight has been cancelled. Oh, wait. That's weather too.

In other other news, my newest roast (single origin Ethiopian Guji Muda Tatesa), roasted quite light, makes an outstandingly refreshing cold brew.

Again, weather.

Interest rates. Sigh. What's next, I wonder? Ugh. No. Not gonna go there. I shall just keep plodding along. Plodding. Plodding. Plodding.

Nischka and Nikita, cuddling on the couch. Last week we discovered that Nischka has HCM, and her prognosis is not the best. She also has what we think is asthma, and a rotting tooth right in the back of her mouth. Only her heart might not stand up to anaesthetic, so we can't do lots with that. :(

Today in thoughts I have late at night. How much privilege do I need to have before I become one of the hated rich? Or perhaps, alternatively, how much shittier do my current circumstances need to be before I stop feeling dreadfully guilty about the plight of others that have less than I do?

Meet Nischka. Nischka would like my salad. My sandwich. Pretty much anything I'm eating.

She also purrs like a freight train and is very speedy.

This belly is for rubbing. It is. Designed that way, in fact.

Pls excuse my foot.

Morning with Nikita. She has been in our household for just a little over a week. Her and her sister (not pictured) are 7 years old and are both adorable in their own special way.
