wouldn't it be nice if we could blame Oprah

[fahye]

Look, universe, I'm not saying you don't know what you're doing, I'm just saying that after a decade-long drought it seems a tad unfair that half of the country is now underwater. I know the poem says 'droughts and flooding rains', but honestly, who takes these things literally?

Weekend forecast: MORE FUCKING RAIN.

I'll be celebrating my birthday by baking a prune cake and watching as the water level in our swimming pool once again reaches the level best described as 'congratulations! your backyard is now an ornamental wading pond!'.

QUEANBEYAN IS A MESS. GETTING TO THE AIRPORT IS AN ADVENTURE.

I was going to say 'does this mean you have internet?' and then I checked your twitter. DO YOU KNOW HOW IRRITATING IT IS THAT I HAVE TO DO THAT. I SHUN TWITTER. BUT I CANNOT SHUN YOU.

Ouch, that is highly unfortunate. I am sorry. (Although I must confess, your descriptions have made me snicker like a madwoman.)

Sydney looks fine for Saturday. Lovely blue skies where I am. :)

Happy Birthday!!

It's not until tomorrow, technically, but I choose to extend celebrations for the WHOLE WEEKEND. Birthday dinner with family tonight. Birthday brunch with friends tomorrow.

(And it's blue skies here, right now, though how long that will last is anyone's guess.)

Oh my god, I know. I seriously think whoever came up with the phrase "it never rains but it pours" was inspired by Australia. This is CRAZY. And Lake Burley-Griffin is foul because the Queanbeyan sewerage flowed into it and a bunch of willow trees that were cut down got washed in too. It looked like a shipwreck on Thursday.

How long are you in Canberra for this time?

(Also, happy birthday for tomorrow!)

I'm here until just after Christmas, then coming back for four weeks over Feb-March.

We'll have to catch up sometime, then. :) Although I'm going up to Sydney next week to work as my brother's lackey for a few days, and then again for a few days over Christmas.
