turtle soup




as i have mentioned before (i think) we have a gate in our back fence that opens onto th river walking trail, theres a hill/mound of dirt between th path n back fence (which i assume is for residents privacy) this unimportant piece of information seems irrelevant doesnt it, bear with me..
So mick decided he would dig some steps into th hill to make it easier 2 get up n down. As he was digging he found a group of buried eggs, at first he thought they were snake eggs but then he found hatched turtles under them. Th soil th eggs were packed into was rock hard for starters and im not sure what mummy turtle was thinking when she layed them on th opposite side of th hill to th river. Ants had found their way into th nest n alot of th eggs have holes n seem hollow, he didnt leave them where he found them because of th ants, and besides, th river has no water at th moment so he brought them back home. 4 were hatched already n one was hatching so mick gave it a hand. So now we have 5 baby turtles in a fishtank in th kitchen. Mick fed them bloodworms yesterday n they seem to be eating so hopefully they all will be ok. Th rest of th eggs are in a wooden bowl, im trying to keep them at 28c but unfortunately they feel real light n im not sure they are living. i dont really know what to do. Th one mick helped out of th egg is slower than th rest n doesnt do much but sit on a rock with his eyes shut. I hope he makes it.
Donatello, raphael, leonardo. Oh my god i cant remember th 4th ninja turtle. Tragedy.

sit ups, spicy chicken rolls and a big fat whinge about my car.


well after doing my routine sit ups this morning, i can definately offer this piece of advice..

Dont eat a spicy chicken roll for breakfast BEFORE excercise

I went out early this morning to meet scott as he owed me some cash n i wanted it before he went to work, so i decided to get breakfast on my way home. One roast chicken n chilli roll please. Getting home i decided id do th sit ups i was supposed to do when i got up this morning (instead i was too busy running out th door) got to about 35 n my stomache was very loudly voicing its opinion on said chicken n chilli roll. And now i feel a little naseous.
Hoo-ray!
Why am i eating a chicken roll for breakfast you might be asking? Well i havent been eating for about 4 weeks now, which at first was cool because in th last 2 weeks ive gone from a 14-16 to a 12, but now ive noticed i am loosing my boobs too! Tragedy! Im petrified now and making sure i eat at least once a day. Chicken freaking sandwiches.

My car has been running like an absolute pig lately, and getting real hot to boot. Cooling system you say? Jah! I have replaced th front n back heater hoses to th block, th thermostat, th radiator, th overflow bottle (which was cracked) run a switch to th thermofan so i can turn it on when required (because th sensor on th manifold is busted -getting fixed monday) and shes had a semi flush n new radiator hoses. Bitch still isnt happy. I noticed my exhaust tip on a bit of an angle th other day n thought 'that isnt right' got down on my hands n knees, only to see th exhaust has blown from th center muffler. Wow.
Hopefully its only a weld job rather than a replacement job but i Do need a new tip. I can see daylight through it. So i think with th mechanic monday n th exhaust place friday (tomorrow) im guna be spending around 350-400 on th bloody car this week.
She better appreciate it. Though i tell you, i havent been able to drive her far, so am really missing th goddamn convenience of having my own transport.

House fine, loving th location. Weather beautiful, neighbours peaceful. Not regretting a damn thing.
Carpe diem people! x

new start

well it is done. We met with th landlord saturday morning to sign th lease, get th keys n hand over cash.
Scott hired a ute with a towbar (since my car is useless n doesnt have one) so we could move stuff. Which we did saturday sunday n monday. I must say it was stressful but now that im in here i dont know why i was so scared. Its perfect. I walk out my back gate n theres a walking path along th river, i turn my head n i can see th sea! Its amazing. I love it here, n i feel so comfortable living with mick, he makes me feel safe. So thats my heads up for now, time to duck outside for a cigarette. (no smoking in th new house, we being responsible!)
