Today is fuckoff friday.

2 things for me.

  1. Just got told by my aunt (bit of a matriarch) what to do for befores for xmas at cousins' place. Salami, cheese, crackers dips usual spread fare. Fuck off I'm doing gyoza and dumplings.

  2. Just got told by the old man that the rest of the watering system I've been building for them he doesn't want to do because he's going to redo the fence in march next yr. It's 85% of the way there. It's just another 50m of drip line on top.

Every summer he calls up me and bro frantically trying to get us to go over and water. the whole point of the system is that the p's can go away for 2 months over summer and stress less (without having to drive back every 2nd day). But if the rest isn't done, then they'll still be stressing even though 85% is already in.

That can fuck off too.

Twas the fortnight before Christmas

And all through the town

Roadworks and roadworks and roadworks abound

In the city, the burbs, and on country laneways

The hi vis and stop gos are controlling the lanes

I’m normally cool and I know it’s required

But it’s Fuck off Friday, and my patience is tired
