Song of the Day: Paul Kelly - Every Fucking City
Ahh, Adelaide.. city of such beautiful weather..
After something like 56 days without rain, it finally poured down last night.. and this morning when I woke up, it was still dark, bleak and wet. Does it get any better than this?
My mother is going back to Melbourne tonight, which is a bit harsh cos I'll miss her. I've spent more time with her and my sister over the last week or so than ever before and I can't believe the amazing feeling of calm I've had. I've slept better than I have in years and it shows.
While she was here she bought me some new stuff for my bed. Last night I put it on and it was still that crisp cotton feel you get when it comes straight out of the packet. I went to bed early with a good book, a cup of coffee and the window open to the rain outside. It was quite possibly the most peaceful, happy moment I've had for a long long time. I went to sleep feeling lucky, and counting my blessings as opposed to thinking about what I don't have.
I think we're a bit closer to convincing her to move here. Who the hell wants to live in Melbourne, I ask ya? (Apologies to Pongo :))
