My hair smells like petrol

So far spending this week with my dad has been great. I thought I'd throw out what my days been like, since I really feel like talking to someone.

Today I've pruned/trimed/cut about 45 wheelbarrows worth of plants from the gardens here, added a heap of crap to the burning pile - which has been burning since yesterday, and hopefully will continue to burn all week - moved about 3 tonne worth of large bush rocks with said wheelbarrow and am now hoping to sit and watch some tv and pretend that I'm at home for a little bit.

I have been playing with petrol though which has been great fun. I love the WHOOSH as you throw it on a fire, and the way it russles bamboo with its rather nice fireball. I do still smell of petrol though, which could be good or could be bad.

I'm very very sore and bruised. Even though I'm loving it here with my dad, I kinda want to go home and have a hug.

I still haven't managed to cut firewood since I've been here so no fire in fireplace, rather chilly inside.

Tomorrow plan is mowing, painting, cutting a few more trees down and replacing a large post that helps hold up the verandah.

My muscles don't like me at the moment.

Throwing It Out Into The Interwebs

Monday night and I find myself drinking alone. Is that as sad and depressing as it sounds? I have learned one thing, Googeling old friends when your already feeling a bit down is not productive. They will invariably be successful and good looking and that will make you feel like a putz for even wanting to know what they were up to.

Other things that seem like they will help but don't really:
1. Vodka - this seemingly joy-making liquid will only enhance your bad mood.
2. Radiohead - they may speak to your soul when you feel low, but the depressing chord progressions are just that, depressing.
3. Cats - no, not the musical but the fuzzy kind. They may seem furry and deliciously comforting but when you are busy being self deprecating they are only shitfull, fat distractions.

Despite these three insightful points I shall continue to drink and listen to Radiohead and I won't bake the cats in a pie just yet.
