I had a day off today! It went something like this:
Wake up. Realise that I don’t have to get up because it’s my day off. Turn off alarm and go back to sleep.
Wake up again. Snuggle deliciously in bed. Read a little bit (T.C. Boyle, Wild Child. Get on it). Snuggle a little bit. Check the social media.
Get out of bed, put comfortable hoodie and moccasins on. Pad to the kitchen and toast myself a bagel. Make tea.
Bring tea, bagel and banana back to bed to eat.
Realise I have to wash my sheets at some point. Get dressed and organise washing. This included clothes, sheets, dishes, kitchen…. I went on a bit of a bender. Then I made cupcakes. I like to have a clean slate when I’m cooking.
And no, this post does not include cupcakes. They’re not ready for public viewing yet. (They’re still naked!)
House inspection time! I’m looking for a place to live in. It’s hard.
Library. For the free internet. And here we are still.

Did you know that Jack Johnson likes his peanut butter crunchy? Someone’s mum once taught him how to use those peanut butter machines from the health food shop that she worked at and had no idea who he was.
Good story. Needs more dragons.
This happens. Listening to the radio on a Thursday afternoon.
An overcast and chilly Thursday afternoon, with nothing better to do. My favourite kind of day.

There’s something about autumn that just makes me happy. In Melbourne, you get all the cold wet miserableness of winter, plus the pretty colours and occasional sunlight of autumn. It’s May, so that means we’re definitely in the swing of cold, blustery autumn. I love it.
