todayiamadaisyI don't want to suggest it was a slow news day here in the City by the Sea, but the local paper featured an interview with a woman who has two dishwashers.
My mother was watching Selling Houses earlier. It's a show in which people who want to sell their houses call in a team of experts to fancy them up a bit first. Tonight's couple who wanted to sell their unit on the Gold Coast were... really in need of the expert assistance. Their unit had been on the market for three months and in all that time it hadn't occurred to them to mow the lawn to make the garden look tidy. I mean, that's basic stuff, house sellers! Anyway, at some point, they had decided to give their bathroom a bit of a makeover. When they bought the place, the bathroom walls were "a sort of yellowy-green colour". Did they paint those walls? No. Did they tile those walls? No. They used what I would call Con-Tact and you might call... I don't know, the sticky plastic stuff you cover books with? That stuff. They bought rolls and rolls of black Con-Tact and covered their bathroom walls with it. So that was novel.
I saw two bats flying overhead tonight. Or maybe it was the same bat twice. It's hard to tell with bats.
