    There’s an ice cream/lolly shop here called Cones & Candy and that is the most Melton thing ever. No pretence of it being anything but a blatant euphemism for recreational drugs. The Birdcage (the part of Melton the shop is) knows what it is, and it isn’t hiding it.

    Got woken up by the wind blowing a gale and remembered the cats’ fuzzy basket bed was still on the line, so dashed out to retrieve it.
    Just as well as the side door to the garage had blown open.
    Back to bed, hopefully to sleep…

    Operation sort shit is going well. I have been getting rid of stuff and now have empty gaps and nothing that needs to go into them, which as a previously over-cluttered person (aka recovering hoarder) is not something I am used to experiencing. I’m doing lots of labeling today, as well as attaching a bunch of little stick-on drawers to the bottom of some of my shelves to hold smaller bits of stationery and sewing supplies. I really should do an op shop run too, the collection of stuff to go is getting quite large.

    The door man got back in at 8 to start sawing some wood and started ripping out the rest of the doors at 9.

    We also have sparkles here now, because apparently our house has light switches on some door frames, which means old mate can’t just take a crowbar to it like he did the others, so they called sparkies to come relocate them.

    Sometimes I look at the decisions these guys make and wonder why their pockets are so deep, yet they insisted on pinching every single penny when that kid moved in which blew all of this up in the first place. Certainly an expensive mistake. Expect a moderate increase in your taxes next year 😂

    Can hear all kinds of things banging and flapping in the wind. Sounds like someone’s gonna lose a bit of shed roof if this keeps up.

    Meant to be another after work drinks put on tonight but I am too knackered for twice in a row. This place is going to turn me into more of alcoholic than I already am

    back from opshop and got a good haul of LPs. First up Yehudi Menuhin playing some beethoven

    this is the same album on YT !! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjbORaxeqMQ

    The Hummel record went in the bin, it is too scratched plus I hate the music.

    The Melodya LP of Scheherazade by the Novosibirsk Orchestra is divine. here’s pic of the cover all in Russian
