Wild weather morning
Sep. 21st, 2008 11:13 amI can hear various interesting thumping and windy noises around the house; the kind where you don't want to see what just fell off :-) There's been quite a lot of rain and the veges won't need water today. Nor will the frog pond! I had meant to cut the weeds, uh, lawns but will have to wait until things dry out a bit.
I can think of a lot of things I'd like to do but probably not in this much wind and wet. My bank is also shut down for the weekend, meaning really shut down. Home Building Society was rammed and boarded with cutlasses out, its flag hauled down and the skull-and-crossbones, ah, the Bank of Queensland banner raised in its place. So my money's out of reach while they effect final changeover this weekend.
Two things I want to get when I can arrange them are a fancy new home for the boys - for which I need to get to Pet Magic to see their rat homes - and a trailer for the bike to increase my carrying capacity so I don't have to wait around for somebody with a car to help me out so much.
I've also just finished reading Stephen Baxter's Flood which I found excellent, just what I felt like reading at the time. Well-researched, speculative sf concerned with the drowning of civilization! The ending made me briefly wish to seek out the author and thump him but I then checked for a sequel and there will be one. He's reprieved :-) Unfortunately this now leaves me without anything new to read! *twitch*.
