A Friday Five...
These questions were written by supernutjapan
1. When did you recently have the feeling, "Life is good."
These days, it's usually when I, or we, are somewhere in the middle of nowhere doing something fun/interesting away from crowds of people. Most recently, it was standing in the middle of the CSIRO Compact Array of radio telescopes outside of Narrabri NSW, trying & mostly failing to photograph the stars amongst the telescope dishes. Despite the weather's non-compliance, it was a wonderful evening
2. Which do you need more, routine or spontaneity?
Now? I'd appreciate a little more routine, but not necessarily of my own making - I need other people to make, or stick to their routines, so I can structure mine a little more consistently
3. Do you have a difficult or annoying neighbor?
Yes. The family directly over the back fence is made up of an anal-retentive, nature-phobic, passive-aggressive creep of a Father, a more-often-than-not heavy drinking Mother, a Son who has had no discipline or boundaries growing up & now that harvest's home... & a Daughter who is only happy in hedonism & loudly complains when the real world intrudes on her pursuit of it
4. What do you want to change about yourself?
I'd like to purge my memory of about half of the stuff it uselessly retains & of all the stuff it retains from my past that randomly comes back to bite me when triggered by something seemingly innocuous & unrelated. I feel I could be more 'present' if I wasn't so assaulted by the past...
5. What do you like best about where you live?
It's cheap. It's about 250 metres from a National Park & we are constantly visited by all sorts of birds & animals... much to the back-fence neighbour's frustration & disdain... Honestly, they'd be much happier on the top floor of a city apartment block
