st_aurafinaUgh, just found our neighbour-up-the-road's dog lying in the middle of the road with his legs akimbo, and thought for sure he'd been run over, so we put the hazard light on and ran out to help him, expecting a bloodbath, and the bastard got up and walked away. AAAAAAH! We put the dog (and his little dog sidekick) in the neighbour-up-the-road's back yard and locked the gate. But did not need that heart-stopping moment. Also, this is not the first misadventure these dogs have had. They're facebook stars, of the "Does anyone know these dogs?" variety. Make your dogs safe, or you don't deserve dogs.
Anyway...
I REPEAT, MOVING DAY IS SET
HOLY SHIT OMG WTF THERE'S SO MUCH STUFF WE ONLY HAVE A WEEK THE TENANT MOVES IN AS WE'RE MOVING OUT SO THERE'S NOWHERE TO RUN AWAY TO I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN HANDLE THIS
The cleaners have to come back and clean more - there was just that much dust. But the walls and shelves and windows are good, and I think we can start bringing stuff over from the pantry, the kitchen cupboards, omg help.
There's so much stuff to take to the op shop. There's stuff to take to the tip. There's stuff we're leaving for the Lions. (The Lions Club run a trash and treasure stall in late OCtober.)
Oh, but look at the treasure I found while packing:
It's
lilacsigil's, from the X-Men show bag at the Royal Melbourne Show:
[Tetrapak of flavoured milk, labeled 'Chocolate dinkum flavoured milk' with a picture of Wolverine on the front with his claws out.
Check out the expiry date:
[Close up of the top of the box; it says "Use by 28 Nov 1994"]
Twenty year old wolverine milk. It'll put hairs on your chest, bub.
I feel like I should keep it. I mean, it's practically a family heirloom at this stage. Like Grandpa's unexploded grenade.
I got yer linkspams. And yer picspams.

- Speaking of Australia (casting spoilers for Arrow) STONE THE FLAMING CROWS MATE, CAPTAIN BOOMERANG IS A DINKY-DI TRUE BLUE AUSSIE COBBER/BAD GUY. THIS IS GOING TO BE GROUSE, MATE.
Not really.
The accent is going to kill me.
It's going to be Meryl Streep's Lindy Chamberlain all over again, and because it's Arrow, I will probably eat it up with a spoon.
- Tiny caravan you can pull with a bicycle - it's a tiny dwelling made from two water tanks. (Tiny dwellings are my fantasy right now. Moving will do that for you.)
- 23 Plus-sized bloggers to follow on instagram. I don't do instagram, nor do I particularly do fashion, but these women are amaze and gorgeous.
- How To Cook Quinoa Perfectly Every Time On The Stove Or In A Rice Cooker With Photos. I have a rice cooker. I have a packet of quinoa somewhere in the pantry which I'm sure to come across in the next couple of days as I clean out EVERYTHING.
- Something to covet: Eco-friendly rainbow sea glass jewellery. Pretty glass pebbles inna tube! Definitely something that I'd hang around my neck. (My sister said they look like jelly beans, which is not exactly dissuasive.)
- Recycled jeans journal. This is something I could actually make. I think I'd like to give it a go. WHEN WE HAVE MOVED. AND UNPACKED ALL THE CRAFT ROOM.
- The back of the Sleepy Hollow DVD describes Abbie as 'feisty'. This offends me; it's so infantilising, and it's not true at all. Abbie is measured and deliberate and not feisty. (Who the fuck is feisty, really? Apart from ponies.)
Here, have a picture of Amandla Stenburg. She's in a band. It's adorable.
They're called Honeywater
- This just came up on the Miss Fisher facebook page!
(Please have all the Mac! Maybe some Mac/Phryne? You know they must have one time at least.)
- Lastly, one birthday: Happy birthday to
kaffy_r, my favourite revolutionary journalist. I hope you have the loveliest of days. *rushes off to label things for the Lions because the Lions are coming*
