OMG STUFF

I'm pretty excited about the movement of Things through our household. I've been throwing stuff out, which pleases me, and also acquiring new things. Yesterday I went to Fremantle and bought some new shirts and stuff at an op-shop, which hopefully will mean that I can stop staring at my clothes every morning in horror at the fact that I have no suitable summer clothes. Today Kale took me to the big recycling depot out in Balcatta and I bought some little cupboards so that I can tidy up the area around my desk, and also some chairs for our back yard.

I am so excited about our backyard right now, and its pretty dappled sunlight. You guys. You should come sit in the back yard with me and drink tea.

(Secretly, I also bought some plates from the recycling depot, because I want all of our plates to be colourful and ugly. Don't tell J.)

(Also, I tell you these things so you can stop thinking 'oh sky, she's such a hippy'. Now you know I am terribly materialistic! Stuff!)

J's penguin has, surprisingly, survived and is still in his regular spot, watching majestically over all of this nesting.

I am excited about the world today. Yesterday I went to Fremantle, and among many other pleasant things someone left stickynotes on my bike saying "You're amazing!" and "Keep smiling!" Today I am going to tidy and write cards and cycle places, and it's going to be great.

* Apparently, if you pump up your tires, cycling is much, much easier. I didn't have to walk up hills! Delight!

* My brother and his housemate are newly enamoured with green tea, and with Green-Tea-Guy from the tea shop. I stopped by last night with J and they did a tea ceremony for us, and told us all of their newfound tea knowledge, and I started off a new beanie for Kyle, who is crocheting like crazy. Also, he showed us his garden, which made me happy. Growing things!

* I got an email from someone I met at APSA, which was nice. They're working in a different area from me (real-life pirates on the high seas!), so it'll be interesting hearing more about their work.

That is all for now! On with Chapter Two restructuring! Viva excessive use of exclamation marks! Viva morning coffees!

UPDATE: Oh my! I just may pop...even more excitement...I just got mail (which is quite thrilling in itself), quite unexpectedly, Agenda the magazine from South Africa that I wrote for a while ago, sent me two copies of the issue I was published in. I had kind of given up hope of ever getting a copy, because of the trouble sending money to them, but now I have an actual, real, printed, book-sized thing that my writing is in, with pictures, that actual, real, people have (presumably) read.

I think I may need to run up and down the corridor for a bit until my desire to make little squeeking noises and bounce up and down passes.
