Have refrained from sharing this before, buuuuuuuut ....
Came to work this morning, and found that someone had set up camp in the portico of the building I work in. No-one in sight, but mega debris left behind. I would like to know, from a purely scientific basis, what possible scenario would include :
- 7-8 empty and semi-empty packets of Dine cat food.
- 1 broken bottle of cheap sherry.
- 3 used syringes (capped).
- a baby soother.
- many many cigarette butts.
- the wrappings from at least 2 soap bars.
- various items of discarded clothing including underwear.
- 3 empty bottles of hair shampoo.
- orange peel.
- 1 cigarette lighter (empty).
- the supports and foam packing from a small pallet.
- a secondhand paperback copy of Pride and Prejudice (much used).
- a couple of packets of jelly babies (broken and contents scattered).
- a whole onion (undamaged).
Can anyone enlighten me? And yes, I had to clean it up. Thank god for cheap woollies tongs.
This is someone who is most likely shooting ice. The give away is the collection of random shit.
Take it from me: if you've ever lived that life, it makes perfect sense.
100%. This is meth behaviour.
I'm sure they had such grand plans for all the assorted crap
I've read a bunch of comments from homeless people on reddit saying that after a while they lose respect for society ignoring them, both hoarding what ever is available and leaving garbage anywhere just becomes part of their life.
Good that they capped the syringes at least
I have no insights. The soap and shampoo quantities confused me.
Me too. I could understand most of it, the cat food, the syringes and butts, jelly babies etc. but the baby soother, and hair shampoo were a bit of a facer. The onion confused me.
Huh, so apparently all that wind has been blowing over a ton of dust as well - explains why my car looked like someone had splashed a light layer of mud all over it today. Fieldwork went well enough despite the gusts, and it was nice to be back doing something I feel competent in...
Glad to be out of the elements this evening just as the wind hits. It's nice to be spending my evening gazing at sox, who is still too slinky and elusive to photograph properly in the dim light of this apartment, and is still busy marking her scent on everything possible, including power cords, paper bags and plant pots. She herself smells remarkably of baby powder.
No more hissing, though I think it'll be a couple of days yet before we get to snuggle time. She was a bit unsettled by the wind noise and kept glancing up nervously while eating, but I think my standing near her while she ate helped calm her down.

Gorgeous cat!! Enjoy her company and stay warm, both of you :))
Last night, my dad and I went out, and someone my dad works with spotted his car and took a photo with it. He said he would do something to the car as a joke.
Fast forward to today, we see the mud on the car that looked like someone threw coffee on it. He thought that could've been what the work colleague did to the car, but it was just Melbourne weather.
Long day...
Need sleep but must have time to myself first. Cats have been fed.
Time for a bath, some dinner and maybe some music.
Wind has picked up. Lots of rattles and tree swoosh noises.
Looking outside at this glorious sunny day - enjoy it while it lasts co it ain't gonna last.

The tide was very high today, the blue heron was walking through the dunes eating bugs, black swans were swimming and diving where yesterday the gulls were standing on rocks . I saw a flock of little yellow wrens. And found a little red toy pail with a starfish imprint on the base.

Going to the Perth zoo today for my last day here. Flying back home tomorrow morning π
Say hi to Nellie. And tell her her newsletter is late.
It's hard to type with those little fingers.

Looking forward to when next week comes, got half the week off next week. Yay!
I think I'm addicted to Zen Color.
that looks nice π
Be warned. It's addictive.
It's beautiful, it's soothing, the colours are amazing, I love the little gifs it gives you at the end of the painting where it speed runs what you did AND THERE'S ACHIEVEMENTS. I love that freakin' app.
Oh I tried it when I got home. That was fun!
god damn the right wing rags are really gunning for the state election. At this point I'd ignore the fuckers if they said the sky was blue.
I ignore them whatever they've got to say.

I am half way through the second Helen Forrester autobiography,
I am all out of sympathy for the mother. She is a cruel selfish grifter, sending begging letters for children's clothes to all her old friends, her daughter's friends and friends of friends.
Then when she gets the clothes , much much needed clothes, she pawns them and uses the money to buy cigarettes.
The children are dressed in filthy rags.
To top it off she mocks Helen for being filthy and ragged, poorly educated and unemployable. This is unforgiveable.
But there are two bright spots.
Because the children were told to look after each other they did and grew up close and supportive of each other.
All the children could read and write and had access to books.
This meant they were able to heed advice regarding education and take advantage of opportunity.
It's just awful isn't it, the expectation that Helen should just basically give up any chance at having a life so that she can be an unappreciated drudge and the mother can bludge and steal money. The first book inspired me to read the second one too!
Liverpool Miss is so damned brutal
To top it off she mocks Helen for being filthy and ragged, poorly educated and unemployable. This is unforgiveable.
My sister in Christ, you (Helenβs mother) raised the child.
no she didn't, she simply birthed her children. It was nannies and such for raising them until oh god what do you mean stock market crash
