Melbourne

The clouds are floating along the horizon, just above the CBD, lit up by light pollution and travelling quite quickly, like some sort of weird cloud migration. I wonder where they will end up.

I'm back home from a day in Melbourne. Travelling down the freeway in the dark always plays havoc with my perception of speed. Something about hurtling along into pitch blackness ahead can give me a feeling that I'm not moving and it's everything else coming towards me. I had the added challenge of wind pushing the van around to make for a tiring drive.

When I got home I found the pump in the water tank was cycling on and off constantly. I think I've found the cause, a minor leak in the tap timer, but having to go outside in the wind was not fun. I consoled myself with some apricot sorbet, and am now having cuddles with Miss Meow, Mr Woof and his collection of favourite toys on the couch.

good night everyone , sweet dreams 😘

The coast seemed clear for now so I nipped out to water what plants haven’t died, and saw the black cat come strolling out of a corner where he’d been napping.

Offered him my fingertip for a smoochy rub and patted his head. He seems to be quite comfortable hanging around here and after I went back in to soothe Melbcat he came to the screen door as if he hoped to come inside.

I’m worrying a bit about neglect but I’m really not in a position to adopt a second cat ;-;

Cheers
