Macquarie dreaming.

Why is it that when one part of your life is going well, the rest of it falls apart?

It's a bit unfair, really.

I wish I could be back there, just for a week or so. School is doing my head in.

Photography by me for once! I'm quite proud of these, just quietly. Not that there was any skill involved in taking them, the scenery is gorgeous enough to make any amateur photographer look pro.

Oh, and I'm the short one. The other is my sister 3 years my junior. Bloody genetics...

Happy, for once

You know that secret I mentioned last post? (Okay, I lie, the whole post was about it.) Well I shared it... and I'm oh-so glad I did :)

I'll leave you with some words of wisdom from the magical Mr Mraz:

I won't hesitate

No more, no more

It can not wait

I'm yours.

Ever had a feeling, hunch or thought that you can't share with anyone for fear of looking the fool? Something that occupies most of your waking thoughts, and even intrudes on your dreams?

That's my life at the moment. It's such fun.

Sympathy, madness, whatever you want to call it

So, I had a fairly depressing incident today. The dog, Armani (Mani), an adorable but bossy/whiney/constantly hungry pug cross, found a rat in the backyard. Being a dog, she attacked it... but as she had never encountered a rat before, she didn't kill it. I found her standing over the rat as it struggled to move, still but only just clinging to life.

I didn't know what to do. If it was another animal, a bird or something, I probably would've picked it up and taken it to the vet... but it was a rat. So I went to tell Dad about it.

As he was snoozing on the couch at the time, his reaction was to grunt "Why are you telling me? I'm asleep!" before rolling over and ignoring me. Thanks, Dad.

Mum was more concerned than he was, thankfully. She came out to have a look, sympathised, and sent Dad to 'put it out of its misery'.

Empathy is shit. I mean, it was a rat, right?

But it didn't deserve that. Not really.

Look at me, I've gone all animal lover. Pfft.

Anyway, after that, we now know what's been making all the noise in the roof.

Rats.

Lol, sorry. Xx.

Don't you just love a good gossip session?

I know, I know, you shouldn't gossip, it does more harm than good etc... but really, it's such fun. Admit it.

Xx.
