Falcon's Fings on Tuesday

Things that are infuruating and ridiculous at the same time:

• Bridesmaidzillagate. It has escalated way beyond even what I thought it might and will only get worse before the wedding. If Party A would just pull her head out of the clouds and Party B pull it out of her arse, and Party C please not let it all get to her too much. Four sleeps to go............I did request months ago that I be placed between the two groomsmen rather than with the other bridesmaids. Boy am I sure I did that!
• The fact that in the interests of all I may decide to delete this post should Party A or Party B somehow stumble across it and further fan the bloody fire. On the other hand, you know who you are A and B. If you happen to read this and know who I am please do as I ask.

Things that are draining:

• Family funerals. I didn't think I was doing too badly, but absolutely exhausted this morning. It was a nice service, as far as funerals go. I think most of our family were a little uncomfortable about all the prayers (most not religious) but the two readings were lovely, and more personal. As was the eulogy my dad gave. All drank and laughed and shared stories afterwards. I wish my aunt was there. We will miss her.

Things that are delightful:

• The little veggie patch that appeared on the reserve across the road on Sunday! According to the signs it is a little free-access community veggie garden, for all to maintain and use. I will keep an eye on it, and hopefully get some fresh herbs in a few months' time. It is these little things that make me love my neighbourhood so much.

Things that are at the same time baffling and unsurprising:

• Melbourne weather. Beautiful over the weekend, cold-sunny/hot-stormy-chilly on Monday and windy and cold today. Typical, yet we are always surprised.
