Glitching

I haven’t been here for a while.
Sorry 🙂

…problems with the internet, amongst other things.
Anyway, I’m still loving this house. I’ve unpacked and organised most of the boxes and bags, and even managed to sit out on the verandah for a while, reading and watching the rain.
I’ve been hanging stuff on the random hooks as well – here’s some hearts ❤

…

I’ve organised the areas a bit better in our section of the house – even have some friends to spend time with 😆

There’s a TV nook…

…and a little reading corner.

There’s also a weird connection with the business on the street in front, which we found out one evening a week or so ago. The power went out through the entire house, even though the fuses, when we checked, were fine. Turns out the master switch for our electricity is in the shop, and they had turned off all the switches when they were closing up. Thankfully they stayed long enough for us to sort it out – they’re good people who weren’t trying to upset us, just people who haven’t been given all the information. We found that out when our internet suddenly died last week. Turns out their real estate agent gave them our address as theirs, so when they went to turn on their internet, our provider assumed we’d changed to another company…and their internet didn’t work at all. We still haven’t been able to sort ours out completely. We’re using a temporary modem at the moment, which decides when and where it wants to work. Our previous one worked for a few hours, until some work was done on something(?) and everything went off again.
Hopefully it will be sorted out Monday.
Apart from all that – we’ve been told (although not officially) that this place might be sold at the end of our lease, and the buyers would be wanting to move in then 😥 Our real estate agents say they know nothing about it, and the person dealing directly with us suddenly quit the other day, so we have to try to find out what’s going on.
Hopefully it will be sorted out Monday 😆

I don’t feel like this is a temporary place.
We’ll have to wait and see…

In the meantime, I’ll take heart(s 🙂 ) and keep on singing!

I wanted to add a song, but couldn’t think what to choose. So here’s a random pick from my YouTube “liked” videos over the last few years.
It doesn’t completely speak to my life experience 😆
But it does ring some bells.

Pink

So it’s October (already!?) and once again breast cancer awareness month. There are a lot of ads about, and the mobile screening buses are at a couple of shopping centres near here.
Everything’s pink…
I don’t really go for the “buy pink for breast cancer” thing – I don’t trust that all that merchandise is raising money for charity, and if it is, what does that money/charity do with it? Much better to give directly to somewhere that you know is legitimate!
Whether you buy pink stuff or not isn’t really important – what is important is that you go for regular breast screening, especially as you get older. I don’t like getting lots of tests just for the sake of it, but some things need to be done (this includes bowel and prostate checks). Don’t wait until you have symptoms!
Yesterday I went for my mammogram. I hadn’t realised it had been two years since the last one, but they rang me to book me in as their systems showed I was overdue… I understand that it can seem a bit daunting if you’ve never done it before, but the whole process doesn’t take long, and it’s done sympathetically and professionally.
Sat next to a pink-lighted flowering tree while I waited… it cast interesting shadows.

I always try to schedule in a coffee/cake time, and some time shopping or otherwise enjoying myself for afterwards. 🙂 Just a short break makes a difference! I had my coffee and cheesecake at a cafe I don’t frequent much, since the one I generally go to at the big shopping centre here seems to have closed… still was a nice time out, and included my serendipitous heart.
