A Moving Home

I feel kind of sorry for sharks. Ever since I learned that they have to keep swimming all the time, never resting, I’ve been wondering what it would be like to live without a house. Even homeless people have regular places they go to lay their heads. But sharks just have to keep moving, like …

Always Driving

I have been driving for as long as I can remember. Now, you might take that to mean that I can’t remember a time in my life where I couldn’t drive, or you might think I’m being hyperbolic. You’d be wrong about that. Whether it’s been days, weeks, months or years, I’m not really sure …

The Wrong Mechanic

If I’d wanted my boat fixed, maybe I shouldn’t have gone to a car mechanic. How was I supposed to know that I would be turned away? After all, a boat is just a car of the sea, isn’t it? But when I pulled my boat in for repairs, the mechanic didn’t seem too pleased …

Simulating Climates

Sometimes I turn my air conditioning on just for the fun of it. I love the feel of the cold in my house, turning it into a winter wonderland. I like to pretend that I’m in Europe, where the winters are truly cold. Once I even cut up little bits of paper and threw them …

The Sewer Creature

I have a lifestyle that other people think is weird. I’ve even been called a freak for it, or a monster. I’m neither of those things. You see, I like to spend time in the sewers beneath the city. That’s what I tell people at first, at least. I actually live there. It all started …

The Strange Suburb

Keymore is weird, I’ve decided. I came here once a few years ago, when the Lemur sanctuary was still here, and that was okay. We basically just drove into the sanctuary and drove out again at the end, although we did drive past the farmer’s market and we got some really weird looks. Like they …

The Fever!

OH. MY. ROD. Fishing rod, that is. I must admit, although I’ve been dragging my feet through Sails of Our Lives, I did find the last couple of episodes compelling. How could I possibly not? They finally unveiled the secret that Donna has been keeping in the brig- her own personal possum farm, which also …

Gingerbread Man

Christmas: is there a better time of year for constructing houses out of gingerbread? In a word, yes. There most certainly is, at least if you live in Australia. In fact, Christmas is the worst possible time for that activity.  Gingerbread houses were invented in places with exceptionally cold festive seasons, and they just don’t …

An Inauspicious Theme

Lunar Agents have been sent out far and wide to research the viability of building a rocket. And that…seems a little suspicious to me. We were told that the rocket was pretty much finished…and now we’re searching for information on whether a rocket can be built at all? Suspicious. If my travel and accommodation weren’t …

The Fence Whisperer

They say you can tell how much a house is going to sell for by the quality of its front fencing. It’s not about the type of fence, exactly, or even that there is one. It’s more about the deliberateness with which choices have been made regarding it. Like, has it been selected with consideration …
