Today's score:

* Several sleepy morning hugs,
* One postcard from St. Petersburg,
* One signed copy of Smoke and Mirrors,
* Four forms to fill out,
* One cooperative estate agent,
* One cup of hot, sweet tea,
* One "chat" scheduled with Jie,
* Zero replies to the urgent queries I sent weeks ago about my paper,
* One case of malaise, for no good reason at all.

Also: despite my strong suspicion that a visit to Ikea will solve all of my problems, I shall once again check - do any of you have spare shelves/thingummies on which to hang clothes that you're willing to sell me? Op-shopping would probably be the best way to handle this, but I'm trying to think of when I'll next have time and failing horribly. I'm looking for things that aren't too big and scary, preferably things without doors. Also, if you have some pickled herring sitting around I could help you with that, too.

Cooperative estate agent? That is the best kind! So, padlocks sorted?

I have a cupboard with shelves in that I can abring for your bedroom. Probably a hanging-things-cupboard (wardrobe!) too, but I will have to check with my brother about what furniture he wants. My point is don't buy any furniture yet. We may be sorted for stuff.

Okay, I shall postpone buying things.

Real estate agent: said she would give Kale's number to the locksmith to call and sort out padlock issues. Cooperative, but of course there's a chance that two weeks from now we still won't have got a call...

Oh. That's a bit less excellent than I had thought.

Nevertheless, WAHEYYYY! HOUSE!

I think I have a clothes rail - literally a rail with a leg at either end - if you want it.

That sounds pretty cool. I'll double check what I currently have on offer and get back to you. Thanks!

Hi! Have you heard of freecycle? It's a great evironmentally friendly way to gain/give away unwanted furniture and other things. Sort of like furniture karma. There should be a group out your way, as there's definitely one here in Melbourne... just search yahoo groups.

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about that! I signed up for it a while ago and hadn't been checking what was going - thanks for reminding me :)
