I did not blow myself up, but I'm not sure I fixed the problem, either. We shall see.

The redeeming feature of jeggings and straight legged jeans is that tunics and longer sweaters seem to be coming into style along with them. I can buy the latter and wish non-me wearers of the former well. Today I ordered this in dark blue [link] , this in red [link] , and this in green [link] . That should replace a few things that have frayed beyond repair.

Cockatoos hanging upside down from the power lines...

meara, I was scared of that the first time I tried it, but no fireballs yet.

Yeah, I still can't see the pilot light, though. Which normally I can. But then I'm like "Maybe I'm crazy, am I even looking in the right place? None of this seems right..." I went through all the "relight the pilot light" instructions on it (it's got an electric starter)...who knows.

I did figure out why my heat wasn't going on in any room but my own, though. Turns out when you have it set to OFF, it doesn't work. Shocking, I know. (Each room has its own thermostat, and only mine was on!)

I'm sorry about the dad-issues, sarameg, but the rest of your trip sounds terrific.

Trying to work after yummy brunch (and beer) is not the greatest thing ever. Don't wanna.

Okay, who wants to go shopping with me? I need to buy a couple of pairs of shoes and a couple of jackets or cardigans for work, and I don't want to do it online.

Ok, those were parrots- grey with pink heads. But there were cockatoos. And blue and green parrots. All easily alarmed. Plus a jack russel staring down a gang of kangaroos. Must be hard to be a terrier out here.
