Weekend that was and that will be

Too much to say but not enough functional brain cells to put anything coherent down. 

Work today was FANTASTIC! I finished work at 4:30 and got home at 4:30! I had no idea how much travelling to and from work was affecting me. This new place is less pay (less hours worked) but my gosh it’s so much more relaxing and I really don’t mind doing any overtime since it’s just around the corner from home.

Tomorrow we are shopping for plants for the garden. Drought resistant species are all the rage these days (wonder why?) 

That’s about all my grey matter can do at this minute.

Everybody Loves Good Neighbours

Maybe we weren’t the only ones to discover a huge jump in water consumption and in a strange way it’s comforting to know that others are as worried about is as we are.

Overheard at my place:

Neighbour 1: Incoherent mumble

Neighbour 2: It’s supposed to be FOUR MINUTES. That’s it. END OF STORY!

Neighbour 1:  mumbles again

Neighbour 2: You’re banging on about EIGHT MINUTES BUT IT ISN’T EIGHT MINUTES. IT’S FOUR MINUTES! TURN THE TIMER OVER AND IT’S FOUR MINUTES!

Neighbour 1: more mumbling

Neighbour 2: YOU WENT IN THE SHOWER FIRST THIS MORNING AND 15 MINUTES LATER YOU COME OUT! FIFTEEN ****ING MINUTES

(pause)

THAT’S THREE AND A HALF ****ING SHOWERS RIGHT THERE!

I love that pause at the end as she is calculating the number of showers he is taking.

I hope they settle this domestic dispute in a hurry and he uses that timer for the showers. The shame of having such water wasters IN OUR OWN NEIGHBOURHOOD.

*ahem*

SCANDALOUS.
