Preparations for the impending move to Sydney are in mid-swing. Meaning we're kinda ready, but we kinda can't really be stuffed doing any work because boy, oh, boy is there work.
So far the most exciting job has been cleaning the gutters. I can feel the breeze generated as you shake your heads in amazement from here, but hear me out first. These were not ordinary gutters, well, they were once, but no longer. They were more than mere rain receptacles, they were fully-blown ecosystems. There were plants with complex root systems in there. There was lichen. There were earth worms. Really, earth worms! This is what happens when you don't clean your gutters regularly peoples. One of the many joys of DHA housing- finding out what the people in there before you completely neglected before you and/or covered up with a bodgy repair job.
On another move related note, as I have been out of the tropics for over six months (and sometimes I think Melbourne is part of the Australian Antarctic Territory) I feel that I may ahve to tweak the blog title. Any thoughts?
