stormy sunday...

sydney is the new melbourne. got up early this morning (06.30) to colour my hair before meeting babyg, g&p (and h, p & i) for breakfast at barzura (it's not as nice as it used to be...) weather was clear but cool enough to require a jacket. after breakfast, about 10.30, we go down to coogee and sit on the steps at the edge of the sand so baby g can have her first beach experience. it was sunny and hot. since then there has been a thunderstorm followed by intermittent rain with an arctic wind. now the sky is blue and the sun is out and the wind has dropped. la la la 'four seasons in one day' la la la...

listening & warbling along to: the very best of elvis costello (2nd time around with multiple replays of 'good year for the roses')
previous warblings today: semantic spaces - delirium

reading: lowbrow

cooking tonight: honey mustard chicken with carrots, broccoli, mushrooms and rice - yum!

today has been rescheduled due to unforeseen events beyond my control.

had a really good sleep last night. so good that i slept through an sms msg coming in at 6.57am on my mobile that was only inches from my ear... usually a mouse fart would wake me. woke at about 9.20am and thought "i'll get up in a sec...." 10.30am i finally fell from the nest... missed out on breakfast with baby g and family. luckily we've re-scheduled for tomorrow.

currently typing this with one hand as i devour a toasted ham/cheese on turkish, fresh strawberries next - dinner plans were cancelled as miss e's dad's car carked coming home from newcastle. again, we've re-scheduled for tomorrow.

after going to the shops to get supplies, i spent the afternoon aimlessly surfing the net (just for something different). had a nice long chat with eric in nz, this too has been scheduled again for tomorrow.

found this - it will be interesting to see if i get that email...

today i've been warbling along to:
goodbye yellow brick road - elton john
greatest hits 1970-2002 - elton john
everybody else is doing it, so why can't we? - the cranberries
imaginate - taxiride (just one song - get set - the rest is pretty ordinary)
can't buy a thrill - steely dan
remastered - the best of steely dan - now and then
(what's the story) morning glory - oasis
diva - annie lennox
semantic spaces - delirium
