AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Spring is definitely around the corner. I know, because my sneezing is becoming more profound each day. The neighbours probably think I’ve adopted an elephant, but I know the truth. The source of all the trumpeting is me… sniff!

  1. Macro is better than Micro, right?

    Speaking of, that thumbnail for Nuka-World is bordering on NSFW. Wow.

    Lastly, I can’t believe I’ve only just now realised. Purrsday. Cats have been on Thursdays for months, and I only NOW clicked…

      I think this confirms it. You were dropped on your head as a baby, weren’t you? Several times.

            I have to. Otherwise I feel suffocated. I rather have 2 blankets/duvets than sleep with anything on.

            August 25, 2016 at 16:11

            Yup, apartment got sold yesterday. Already bought a new home. Probably moving start of October

            travel to office or is that not an issue?

            My house is within 3km of my office….. It is pretty cool.

          • Ottokie

            August 25, 2016 at 16:14

            About the same +- 10km

          • miaau

            August 25, 2016 at 16:17

            glad for you, cause getting used to travel can be a real pain!

            I’m just glad I am moving into deep suburbs now. As an ex plaas seun I was not getting used to the hustle and bustle of city life…and “locals” with their lawnmower racing cars

          • miaau

            August 25, 2016 at 16:21

            I have lived in the suburbs all my life. Lived in a town house complex years ago and even that, relatively quiet, meant that I heard cars close by at odd times sometimes. Not my favourite sound. OR, very occasionally, the sound of a big argument or something. Give me a free standing house, thanks. WITH garden service, cause I do not want to do gardening stuff.

          • Pariah

            August 25, 2016 at 16:21

            Gardening. Bane of my life.

          • miaau

            August 25, 2016 at 16:22

            I am the Bane of the plants, trust me.

            My “lawn” looks like a jungle atm. Inspection next week so I have to tidy up. LOTS of work this weekend. MEH.

          • Ottokie

            August 25, 2016 at 16:23

            “inspection”

            wot?

          • Pariah

            August 25, 2016 at 16:24

            I rent – so the agency inspects the place once a year to make sure I’m not destroying it. 🙂

          • miaau

            August 25, 2016 at 16:24

            crud, sounds like fun.

            Is there some of art deco gardening style that can apply?

          • Pariah

            August 25, 2016 at 16:25

            Nope. Neat and trim. I have a lot of work ahead of me this weekend. House is fine though, we have a lady come once a week for the bigger stuff, while we do dishes during the week.

          • Ottokie

            August 25, 2016 at 16:22

            I now have a garden area as well… goodbye Sunday’s I guess

          • miaau

            August 25, 2016 at 16:23

            If I had to, I would say goodbye part of Saturdays and try and keep Sundays as the day to recharge, the day that helps keep the sanity from in.

          • Ottokie

            August 25, 2016 at 16:25

            Sundays are reserved for exercise in the morning so that I can confidently have a huge braai and a few beers

          • Pariah

            August 25, 2016 at 16:26

            Just think though – if you garden on Saturday AND do exercise Sunday morning, you can double up on the beer!

          • Ottokie

            August 25, 2016 at 16:26

            Genius!

          • miaau

            August 25, 2016 at 16:27

            I am not sure he is viewing the beer thing as a calorie count……

          • Ottokie

            August 25, 2016 at 16:27

            Not in the slightest

          • Pariah

            August 25, 2016 at 16:28

            But at least you will have a valid excuse now. 😛

            August 25, 2016 at 16:29

            The new house is so damn close to my MTB trails. No more driving through idiot valley to get to Somerset west and Stellies

          • Pariah

            August 25, 2016 at 16:30

            That’s seriously cool man. I’m really happy for you. 😀

          • miaau

            August 25, 2016 at 16:16

            We have not got one in the living room, the quote was just stupid – open plan Living Room / dining Room made this stupidly expensive. BUT we spend most of our time in the TV room, not the living room, so that has an AirCon as well. Christmas day, we put (read, squeezed) in 3 dining room tables in the TV room, JUST for the AirCon.
