Bennelong did it

John Howard has finally been ousted from his federal seat. Yeh!

What I can't understand is why we didn't get Kerry Nettle back into the Senate for the Greens. They won three more seats in WA, SA and Tas. Maybe someone will explain.

I think I went to primary school with the number two Greens senate candidate, David Shoebridge.

House headaches

We have three ongoing insurance claims all relating to the big tree that fell down in June. What a saga - they still haven't started repairing the initial damage to the corner of the house and deck. The other claims arose when the storm water pipe broken by the tree roots ripping out of the ground (we think) backed up in heavy rain and came in right along the back of the lower concrete slab and on one occasion right in through the front door on the upper slab. We can't have the carpet relaid until they come and fix the skirting boards which have exploded because they're not solid wood. So much for having it done by Christmas. Aargh.

Clothes

I finally need an expanding wardrobe to go with my new waistline. Bought a bunch of stuff on eBay but it's all target stuff so I bought a PP dress with my birthday money. It'll probably be too hot to wear anything much now!

I'm supposed to be doing this meme but I'm having trouble remembering anything. Who do I tag anyway?

Go to go and play tennis now, maybe beach afterwards - it's hot already.
