The 1000 Day Holiday

How many centimetres in 2 metres?

There have been so many in the last couple of days. I really need to write them down so I dont forget them.

Caught up w shane before he headed back to NZ this morning, and met Saffron, the new flattie. Nanouk cooked up a wicked 3 course meal.

Entree:
Portobello Mushrooms grilled with Blue cheese, honey, red capsicum, Pecan nut, pepper

Main:
Green Curry.

Desert:
Dutch Trifle – Basically the same as kiwi trifle except they use Sponge Fingers which are harder than kiwi sponge. almost like a biscuit.

I gave up on the wind in Noosa, So in my tradition of being in noosa went for breakfast at Sierra (ab fab food everytime)then spent the day body surfing on the main beach. Had a great time with some big sets coming in. I think my tan must be getting good cause I caught a lot of sun and didnt get ‘sore burnt’.

Tahlia was staying in Coolum Beach, so popped down there for a few bevvies then dinner. This also was the first night spent in a caravan park! as theres no backpackers in Coolum. The park is right on the beach and there was a HUGE swell coming in for the ~10 hardy surfers who were out there till dark.

Today I drove back to the Gold Coast, Stopped by in Sandgate and the Broadwater in the hope of wind. Alas none.
I can’t even count the days since my last kiting. Its depressing.

6.30am start for the remainder of the dive course tomorrow & thurs in Byron so will head down there early. Or maybe late tonite.
Fingers crossed for good weather, otherwise I may have to push out my return date

With T moving back to Brisbane, we now have a new flatmate moving in on Sat. A fellow kiwi.

Haven’t met/talked to her yet.

well it appears that the Hermit has had a BF for ages, maybe even the whole time shes lived here.

We just didnt know about it. That strikes me as odd.
He lives in NY tho, so its not like he could have stayed over lots.

Still funny that you can live with someone that long and they dont tell you anything…

and the Leprechaun was standing on his bed, smacking at the fireplace in his room with a broom asking me if there was a hole in it that the mouse could get in from.

Running around the house looking for something to ‘board up’ the fireplace with.

and generally being a little scaredy cat.

Then finally leaving to stay at his GF’s place, cause hes not sleeping if something can get into his room.

tee hee hee

how many days am I up to now with no speaking?
I’ll have to get the calendar out!

Latest TXT msg:

Pls remember that u live with other ppl. Turn your music down or off. It sounds like satanic neo-nazi music

Oops, didnt see that message for 1 1/2 hours.

And Rob Zombie isn’t neo nazi!

I swear I should have documented when this started. Because now I’m just guessing. But I know the Hermit hasn’t spoken to me in over a week.9+ Days 13 Days 23 Days 30 Days!

And shes not speaking to the Leprechaun either. And T is never here, so its not likely shes talking to her!

It is really quite a strange experience, she walks in, looks around the corner to see if anyone is home, even if she makes eye contact – nothing is said. She will then proceed to her room, or even sometimes cook dinner – again with nothing said.

Maybe she feels obliged to stay since shes on the lease. hmm.. A post it note would hopefully suffice in clearing that confusion

As an aside, I woke up the whole flat this weekend. I didn’t come home Sat night and my stereo was set to alarm @ 6.30am. It was set loud enough to bug everyone in the flat ( oops )

Funny the different way people deal with a dilemma like this.
T, said she got up, and repeatedly banged on the door, but didn’t want to come in, just in case I was ‘entertaining’. Then the Leprechaun’s ‘friend’ came out of the bathroom and T was like

Are you from THAT room?!?!

T did mention she went back to bed, put the pillow over her head, but ended up humming along as she liked some of the tunes

The Hermit sent me 2 txt’s 15mins apart. The second saying I have been

very selfish and inconsiderate person of late!

then the Leprechaun got up, knocked on the door a couple of times. And figured I had either died of an OD, or simply wasnt here.

Viola! empty room.. tee hee hee
T & the Leprechaun both had a giggle about it after – wouldn’t know about the hermit, since haven’t talked to her in ages!

I noticed we needed rubbish bags. So I bought some…

I removed the full rubbish bag, and replaced it with one of my fan dangled new clean ones.

Now follow this.
Hermit discovers the non standard rubbish bag in the bin.

So she proceeds to get one of her bags (obviously I didn’t find them) and replaces my bag with hers.. throwing mine into her bag..

Apparently she must only ever use : glad white drawstring scented… yes scented rubbish bags.

The reason?

Hermit: well the drawstring makes it easy to tie

Me: Have you ever seen one not rip when being pulled out? And if you use the black ones, you just roll down the top, which forms 2 ends, which you can easily tie in a knot, which seals the bag and wont rip!

Hermit: but its not scented

Me: So you sniff the bag?

Hermit: No, it stops the rubbish smelling.

Me: no taking the rubbish out to the rubbish skip stops it smelling.

How I’m going to fsck her mind: As soon as she went upstairs after changing the bag, i put another of my bags in the bin, throwing hers away inside mine.. hahahaha

And I will continue to, until she leaves!

Did I mention she hasn’t said anything to anyone else in the flat in the last 3 days.
Yes we have seen her, she didn’t respond to me when I said hello.

I think shes C-R-A-Z-Y

Update: 24 June
Shes put another white bin liner in.. so I put another black one in….

Pity I’m off to hamilton, I was soo keen to see how many times it could happen. Maybe I’ll recruit my other flatties.

Funny that hermit works for a lawyer office.

Her notes have started appearing on Lawyer letterhead! does that mean we really need to take note?

I think shes loosing it:

DO NOT (UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES) PUT NON-FRONTLOADER POWDER IN THIS MACHINE

IF YOU DON’T HAVE ANY, BUY SOME.

THIS MACHINE IS WORTH A LOT OF MONEY (THAT I’M STILL PAYING OFF) AND I DON’T WANT IT TO GET WRECKED.

Never mind the fact that only me & M have used it, and I checked with him, we is using the proper stuff.

oooh heres another one.

Please

do not

stack my plates, bowls on top of each other. that is how they get chipped.

Hmm. .. Ive just realised that they’re stacked when in the cupboard.. I might raise that as a point.
