Evening again

 

Like the gloaming and the evening, there is also apparently the fuckening! A friend sent this to me this morning and I was utterly up for it. It's been a pretty strange full moon period, for me anyway - and I've gone nocturnal since the dog and cat in the night time incident. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but that doesn't mean they're not out to get me!

Missed calls from a dead ex, a pair of socks that aren't mine beside the fruit bowl, Random Man moving into the shack, the dead cat ...it's hard to refrain from making false connections between odd events at the best of times and I don't even smoke weed.

The inlet has risen really fast as well. Struth's boat would have been on the sand a week ago, if he'd parked it where it is in the photo below. At first I thought the bar had broken from the outside from the huge swells we've had but now I think it's the water pouring in from the other end, the rivers swollen with messages from upstream.



Here's some photos of my house too. People sometimes think I live in a shed but the cottage really is quite respectable. This is my desk and writing area, close to the fire of course. The huge windows face south to the inlet, and the weather.


 And this is I guess what you'd call the sitting room (It's all open plan). Today it's covered in prep work for next week's uni classes. This semester I'm tutoring for Environmental History, Indigenous Studies and Creative Writing.

  1. Good word, fuckening, never heard it before but I know plenty about people who come along and fuck things up. I've had some strange goings on since the June full moon which leaves me in fear as each full moon approaches. Too many fuckenings around.

    1. Totally agree there Rachel. Especially after several years of weirdness now, it feels pronounced at the moment, for me anyway.

  2. Missed calls from a dead ex? Really? I was one of the people who thought you lived in a shed with a corrugated iron roof. I am quite relieved you don't really.

    1. Yes the missed calls was a bit next level but has been solved now.

  3. You have a lovely home with great water views. I'm just catching up on your posts. This new neighbor seems like a unique mix of transitions, oddities and friendly. The fact your dog likes him might be a good sign. Time will tell.
