K has a cold. She's been a bit of a terror recently, to be honest. But today, not too bad. She's just passed out on the sofa, so I'll pop her in bed soon.
Cold today. Getting chilly. Raining. Stuck inside. Monosyllabic.
Making K some new pyjamas, not that she needs them but she wanted funky monkey again, so I'm up for a third pair.
Dj's good. I'm good. Looking forward to our holiday. Works been fun.
All in all, plain sailing.

Coffee and clunks
Today we went to Glebe to have coffee with Jo, AKA Angelo to discuss doing his website. It went well, I think combining the socialising with the business worked, but Kate was a disaster.
I made the mistake of giving her chocolate cake, and inevitably she went berko and ran all over the place. Stressy.
Came home and had lunch and of course she's passed out for 2 hours in the afternoon. Me too. DJ snuck off to work at sometime.
She managed to roll off the coffee table this evening backwards and clunked her head. It must have hurt like hell. She's a brave little thing tho and only cried for a bit.
Now I have to get my act together, get the spec done, let DJ do his thing and get the site made. Hope it goes well.

Brush Turkeys!
Well today was mostly uneventful. We spent this morning in the garden with our neighbours, Natasha and little Olivia, demolishing a patch of weedy plants that have completely dominated the front yard for over a decade. Had a lovely time while DJ slept like a baby. He's getting run down, that one.
This afternoon, after a rather failed trip to DFO to buy shoes for Nessima, we saw not one, but two brush turkeys in our little bit of bush. Amazing! I've never seen the like in Lane Cove before. They kind of pottered around for a bit before moving on. Couldn't believe my eyes.
It seems our little bit of scrub is quite a healthy link in the local environment.
Yay to that.
About two years ago we were visited by a flock of around 8 black cockatoos, who hung around for the afternoon before moving on. Curiouser and curiouser, said Alice.
And here was I thinking that Scrub Turkeys didn't come this far south.

Smoke and Mirrors
/*being gripe*/ I'm not one to complain, hardly! But this stimulus package thing is really pissing me off. We didn't get the stimulus payment for our little one last time around (no idea why). DJ's got his for this time around, but I won't be getting it, despite me being one of the lowest income earners I know. Two reasons, one is I got back all of my tax last year. Second reason: my PhD scholarship.
The irony is one of my students got paid twice. He earnt about the same as me, and got it again for being a student.
Hmmm. Oh well. No such thing as a free lunch. At least one of us got it. /*end gripe*/.
It's getting cooler, and Kate is on a growth spurt. She's just grown out of another pair of trousers, and she's getting short on warm PJ's so a shopping trip to La Maison de Target was in order. Mission Impossible. Took her leash/monkey and she was more than a little naughty at the shops.
Oh well. In other news, doing some serious modelling at the moment, improving the skillset yet again. Might apply for some "real" jobs as the business venture is a no show.
