house plan dialogue...

On daughter's house plan...
Son: What sort of building material on the outside? Brick, weatherboard, stone...
Daughter: Outside's cladded. It's lineaboard, a mixture of concrete+fibre which isn't so attractive to termites.
Son: Yes, gets stuck in their teeth. Most inconvenient.

Melbourne and Sydney Harbour Bridge...

Adore this very weird fact...
Lived in Sydney for a large chunk of my early life+had no idea of this Melbourne connection...
Now I'm in Melbourne,+feel Melburnian, I'm feeling rather chuffed with this news...
Great pick-me-up after the snap lockdown news...
Melbourne has value... https://t.co/E4Vbz0aoal

adjust routine...

PASSING THOUGHT: So so pleased I have stuck to my routine of avoiding crowds at all costs for 2 years now...including supermarket shopping...(I choose less popular times to shop)...Adjusting routine and making it a norm over time is far less painful if life itself is the gain... pic.twitter.com/erR6F25Dfr
