Again This Rapture

[todayiamadaisy]

What did I do this week apart from coughing, sleeping, and taking part in lengthy discussions about how high the shelf in the shower should be? I voted. Woo. We are having a national postal survey on whether we support same-sex marriage. Our government has tied itself in knots on the matter. There's nothing stopping them from having a vote and sorting it out themselves, but due to various cunning machinations they have committed themselves to this survey first. Not a referendum or plebiscite conducted by the Electoral Commission, you understand; the outcome of that would be binding. No, this is a survey, run by the Bureau of Statistics. Just to gauge our mood. And once the results are in, there's no guarantee that parliament will vote anyway, or that they will vote the same way as the survey. So it could all be a waste of $122 million. Nonetheless, I ticked the Yes box and sent it back. Civic duty done.


Today we have been collecting paint samples and looking at door handles for the bathroom. Only another week to go.
