anzac day

Well, tonight after Endgame, I think there will be dumplings at the downstairs dumpling place. I suspect I'm going to need them.

Tomorrow, though, I'm thinking that spending the day at home alone is probably a bad idea. I'm trying to rally friends to go in to see the Black Anzac March in Redfern, but several of them are spoonies and it's rough.

I could ask some of the friends from church, but right now it's the middle of school holidays, so many of them are away, or have other plans. I guess it doesn't hurt to ask, though. If nothing else, I might find something else to do!

I'm wondering if I could ask friends from gardening groups. We're not close-close, mostly just friendly.

And this is why B1 living over at the parental house for a year is a BAD IDEA. It'll take her down, it'll take ME down, and all because my stepfather is too afraid of letting B2 manage the house, and too cheap to hire a housesitter.

last post before the madness

There's a women in permaculture group on FB which I joined when it started up. It's relatively new, but the creator seems very intent on not just being an FB community of women, but being codified with a set of rules or agreed behaviours, being formally recognised (she wanted to apply for proper club/association status) and a bunch of other things. I don't know why; I just joined because it looked interesting.

But she does about 90% of the posts, and when she was trying to set it up as a formal club, was putting out dozens of posts asking people to be involved. Which, oh honey, no. You may be retired or on the verge of it, but many of the rest of us are busy women; we don't want to add to the chaos of our lives by putting another thing on.

I think it's a problem that she's trying to boss us around when most seem to just want some social interaction with other women who are permaculturists...

Anyway, I’ve thought that with International Permaculture Day coming up in early May, perhaps some people might be willing to post pictures of their gardens? IDK if that will be a bit confronting for people? Sharing something a little more than they’d like? Also possibly outing them to the creator as people who might be willing to do things in the formal club that she'd still like to get out there.

best part of Endgame?

Making a new friend in the theatre.

And the movie wasn't terrible.

( issues )

In short: it's a fitting end to the movie series. All the things you'd expect and well done.

I mean, I liked my version better. But that's also not a surprise. :)

And now I'm going to go pet my cats and listen to some music very loud so I hopefully don't have the Avengers theme in my head when I go to bed tonight...
