I can't take credit for that title. It's from a book Damo lent me one time (which i think i still have).
We currently find ourselves in the midst of a challenging exercise - trying to live off The Lovely Samantha's paltry wage. It's really not enough and God only knows how others do it.
It's tough enough that we haven't been out for dinner in ages, but when Sam told me to save the "no frills" Camembert from Woolies for a special occasion, that floored me. The irony in the situation is that we are here because we chose to be (indirectly). If we hadn't been successful, we wouldn't have put ourselves in the situation of feeling so strapped. Odd but true.
It's been miserable weather. The rain's hardly let up for the past week which has meant we've all steadily gone stir crazy in the house. During a rare break in the weather on Friday arvo we went into the city to see the Chinese New Year official kick off. I can only assume the organisers hadn't planned on the rain letting up and the crowds coming in. I'm sure they just recycled the mascot from the year of the rat to celebrate the new year of the Tiger. Pure crap, done on the cheap.
Saturday night lifted my spirits with the broadcast of the Indigenous All Stars footy game. Cracking contest. Can't wait for the premiership to start next month.
More rain on Sunday.
Cherish your disposable incomes,
Minas.
