open doors lead to absent handy men →
My favourite excerpts from my most recent blog post, which is about the inauthencity of some conversations I’ve been having in my life, and how I muddle through them, my brain half split as I talk and make things up to say.

No worries, Jackie! They’re all great books. Kind of something for everybody in that list, now that I look at it again. Memoir, letters, non-fiction, poetry, short stories. Happy reading :)

Baby, it's a straight up thunderstorm outside
Up until about an hour ago, Melbourne had a tornado warning. Hailstones have been falling from the sky, and I’ve seen them described as golf-ball/grape/grapefruit/lemon-sized all over the Internet. I took a video of the first hailstorm, so gleeful and excited was I to see these crazy weather conditions on Christmas Day. Now it’s raining buckets and thundering. All the lights are on...

mysterysmudgesextra:
