Sharing + caring

"You can lead a whore to culture, but you can't make her think. –Dorothy Parker"

Maybe 3B is right?
Maybe I should just give up?

Anyway, have moved into the new place up at Kelvin Grove, and pretty much all it has done since I got here has been rain ... A typical Brisbane Spring, with the tropical rain that is kind of warm, refreshing, constant, but also irritating because it is so constant! There is a patina of 'moss' about the place, which I shall have to remove with white vinegar in the near future, I suppose?
Speaking of which, there is garden space here too, and I am looking forward to restoring some areas with flowers-even petunias, maybe? Plus there are the pavers around the side that are just screaming out for treatment with brown vinegar :) Washed clothes on Saturday, and hung out to dry under the house, but am not confident that they are quite finished yet ...
One of the most amazing things about being here is that I so rarely see any of the other two! Believe that there is a girl that is the next room, and I certainly have heard her watching tv sometimes, but have only really seen twice, briefly, as she flitted in/out, on her way to another 'happening', for other than that, she seems to spend the majority of her time in her room. The fellow too seems to spend an inordinate amount of time in his room as well, but at least I have had something approaching conversation with him - turns out he has/enjoys psy-trance music :o Who would have thought?
Having cleared/cleaned (with the emphasis on 'cleaning'-hard to believe that there was so much uncleaned muck in and around the stovetop, but it is better then it was. Much better), I am looking forward to trying my hand at a bit of culinary flair. Although, 1 medium jet provides minimal output, and the little jet does not work at all ...
Went to farewell the bikes on Sunday, but the whole event had been postponed due to rain! So got wet walking over there, wetter walking back, and all for naught!!! But, it was a rather exciting time of the day to be up and about, it must be admitted ...
