The Weekly Friday Feast

Nup ... I wax every few years ... used to be more regular ...

have a reasonable wardrobe finally ... with my signature opshop pieces.

Have a Beethoven hairdo ... I say to my son next year I will start going to the hairdressers ... so tight and frugal ... I know if I spend $20 on clothes it will be around for long than the haircut.

I have lived in high density housing a lot as child .. and it is tough ...boarding houses and flats ... I am better off now ... nearly paid off little 3 Br unit in a little court ... with a bit of green next to us in which I garden ... also garages on either side to protect my neighbours from our music making at all hours of the night ... they dont mind.

A girl I knew from the housing commission as a kid is coming around tomorrow to pick me up and go for a girls day out ... I met her when I was in Grade 6 she a few years older than me ... my one long term friend ... tho we dont share a lot of ideas, dont vote the same or shop the same etc ... yet there is a loyalty re history.

@Mazarita there are a couple of friends I visit, one who visits me and one more I go out with occasionally to a movie. Another good friend is moving back up here soon so I'm really looking forward to that. This dry season I had a few camping trips with her which was wonderful after years of not adventuring that far.

@Appleblossom my grooming routine is very basic these days! Sometimes a ponytail lasts a few days for example. Best I don't get into more detail!!

@PeppiPatty were you referring to finishing time or something else?

I would quite like to move back down south to be closer to family at some stage but just get too anxious about going back to open market rental while I wait on a list for new public housing (you have to be a resident of NSW or QLD first before you can apply). I really couldn't handle it if I had to keep moving. Plus I'm in a good flat here and would have to give up my tenancy and a lot of my possessions and move to a smaller place. Just so much to let go of and deal with to make it happen.

I like the sound of your situation @PeppiPatty and yours @Appleblossom. That's the other thing I'd have to leave here - a great man who is excellent company and totally comitted to staying up here. We don't live together but have been involved on and off (mostly on) for 10 years.

Has everyone gone for the night? It was nice to meet you all, thankyou.

Yes, it seems to have all gone quiet for now. Good to meet you too @eth. Hope you'll join us for the Feast again.

To mention to most people I lived in the "Housing Commission" was just another "bomb" word ... it was not as if I swore ... so many words I was not allowed to say ... no wonder I tried to extent my vocab.

@eth can understand your decision .. to stay up north .. we have to do what works for us. We are growing a lovely group of people here ... nice to meet you too.
