You know how in He Died With A Felafel in His Hand Noah Taylor keeps trying to play California Dreaming on the guitar and keeps getting the chords wrong? I love that movie. I love Noah Taylor. He has a such a sad monkey-sad face.
Well anyway my house is a little bit like that at the moment as Strummer keeps playing the first chords of Ziggy Stardust (the chords he knows) and then trying to play the rest by ear. I could be annoyed but I have decided to be very Zen about it all. Plus so far there aren't any cane toads, moontanners, Nazis, gothic postmodern lesbians or Nick Cave at 3am so really there's nothing to complain about...
Other things that are happening at Kelvin Mansions include: we are getting fruit and vegetable deliveries every Friday from Aussie Farmers Direct. They give you a random box of fresh produce which we are hoping will lead to inspiring ideas from Trixie "self-proclaimed world's best cook although his flatmates rarely see evidence of it" Fraganza. Last week we got Brussels Sprouts which I fried with parmesan and breadcrumbs. Delicious. (Why do Brussels Sprouts have such a bad name when they are really so awesome? Like little tightly-wrapped mini cabbages.) This week we got a pineapple. My good friend and former flatmate Amanda says you should always have a pineapple in your fridge, just in case a vegan drops round.
Amanda likes to be prepared.
So far no vegans have appeared but I am thinking I will eat the pineapple tonight. It will probably be the last chance for tropical fruit as winter is really settling in now. This morning I could see my breath, and I hadn't even left the house yet.

I would love to see Nick Cave at my house at 3am personally..
