• NotN: Michael Jackson dies, apparently.

redcountess is staying another three weeks in Australia, to sort out her mum's house. I'm missing her.

Click-click, click-click, click-click: the sound my laptop hard disk started making on Thursday evening. As did all three 2.5" disks I had on hand to try as replacements. Bother. I'm stealing time on Freda's telly laptop while I can. Grabbing more surplus tech from secretlondon on Tuesday: her Scrapheap Challenge Celeron 1200 lappie that currently serves as a wifi point stand.

Friday evening, a *pint* with pndc at the Blue Posts. The younger teenager's boyfriend turned up to stay over (on the couch, enforced by sword-wielding mother); a pleasant young emo brat who makes coffee before I get up in the mornings, God bless him.

I didn't make Vagabonds last night, making it as far as morwen's birthday soirée and being overcome with crushing lethargy. Lots of train nerdery and amusing bad YouTube, and nice barbecue. I have put up my photos from May's Vagabonds, though! (Need to finish tagging them.)

Freda is discovering the power of language! Now thoroughly au fait with "mum" and "bum," last night she successfully strung them together into "mum bum!" and pointed at said bum of mum. "Lamb" for her singing lullaby lamb (the robot companion that says "I LOVE YOU" as the child hits it), "blue!" for anything blue or a car, "pree" for "please" and "yay!" whenever she kicks a ball and it hits a stair (learnt from watching Timmy Time).

Today is not cold, but rainy. Oppressively humid. The aging tabby is snoozing on my lap and thankfully not farting. Now playing Another Setting by Durutti Column, which is just the thing. It's a rainy spring day in Perth.

Is it a good idea to teach a child that love can only be enforced through violence? ;-)

You coming to my housewarming?

Important part: Does he make coffee before you get-up in the morning for everyone or just himself?

[reddragdiva]

He makes it for himself and there's two more cups' worth in the cafetiere. At that point the presence of coffee is more important than the actual motivation.
