TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE MOON

The moon is full and an eclipse begins this evening just before 7.30 pm if you're in the eastern states of Australia. Pop your head out the window and howl, if you must. It is also said that this is not the time to entertain power-trippers or nut jobs... which leads me to question is there ever a time when the planets convey that it is a good time to entertain power-trippes and/or nutjobs. If there is, I guess that would make for a fun dinner party, eh possums?

It's school holidaay time again. Two weeks of the heating system being run all day, whilst all the doors and windows are left open. Two weeks of all electronic devices being turned on, and and being left on all day. Two weeks of all foostuffs being removed from the refrigerator and cupboards and left out on the benchtops for the cats to interfere with. Oh the joy....

Oh, and two weeks of having to find a new hiding place for the booze, naturally. Usually by the second week, I have to hide it from myself. My employer has some weird rules about not turning up drunk or something, I don't know....

Noise had a friend to stay for a couple of nights and, possums, did I laugh long and loud when they ... seriously... asked me to purchase some alcohol for them. "I'll get you some soft drink instead", I advised them. "No, Mum. Think about the sugar!!" quipped the smartarse (earlier in the day I had decreed that fizzy drink is banned in our house due to the sugar content.)

So instead I sent them out to buy crack.

Kidding.

Thank the Goddess that Pencils is currently obsessing about getting a "mini knitter" from Spotlight. Oh, and about being Mrs Edward Cullen. (Seriously, anyone know anything about staging a Twilight intervention?)

The good news is that next week we will be seeing the Harry Potter movie. I will possibly be sober for that.

Bastille Day looms.... and I have some seriously medieval corsetry to organise on the night.

I will post a picture of it if I can get a panoramic camera.

Au'voir ma possums.
