Or...
See you today tomorrow.
Or...
Whatever.
This is wearing thin.The native trees still wear their leaves
They know the ground does not freeze.
The introduced species are slow to catch on.
Its green because it rains all the time.
Its green because the soil is peat.
Sh*t.
I live in a swamp made of sh*t that has been drained into a stagnant lake.
Charming.
Charming.
But you should see sh*t grow.
Die.
Become more sh*t to make more sh*t grow.
Hmm.The fog comes up from the river
And spreads throughout the city
It doesn't disperse much throughout the day.
It is cold.
Not so cold.
The ground doesn't freeze.
But nothing can stop the fog
Insideous
Malevolent
Carrying spores
Into your houses
Into your offices
Into your orifices
Some fungus or other
The wet
The damp
The cold
The swamp trying to reclaim you.
But its not that cold.
Not cold enough for double glazed windows.
Not cold enough for central heating.
Not cold enough for people to turn the bloody heating up.
Just cold enough to throw more clothes on.
It is a NZ thing
A NZ thing apparantly
To dress up INSIDE the house.
On a clear spring day it is warmer outside than in.
Insane.
Bloody insane.
Build the nuclear power plant
Ho!
The swamp trying to reclaim you.
me.
The university.
Arts and Social Sciences in particular
Hrm.
There aren't going to be any redundancies.
The big guy said.
I did not have sex with that woman
My committee didn't decide there would be forced redundancies.
Yeah right.The swamp.
Its coming to claim us all...
