The Izzie 101 List
10/12/2007 11:08 pmYesss. Such a snailish procrastinasting serpent. Supposed to have been posting updates at every new moon since starting and this is probably the only post keeping to that schedule
Progress is slow and steady and definitely less than the one item every ten days pace required to finish the list on time
But the Izzie did make rather a demanding list almost with the intention that it is very unlikely to be all completed but to even manage half of it would be to be achieve a lot more than would be the case without it
There are a handful of serious procrastination items such as CV writing and looking for goblin jobs that are still on the very very long finger and other things that cost lots of time or money or even both
But there's one item that's been on the agenda for at least 5 years or so but with no date or deadline, it just remained a dream. But that is until now
Izzie returned to the Lair last Monday to find a bright shining brand new white gadget where the old black bomber electricity meter used to be
This is the second last obstacle in our grand green project to convert the Lair into a power plant. The government rebate of $$8,000 has been pre-approved as well as approval from the local electric co for its renewable energy buyback scheme with a new export meter as proof. The only thing left now is waiting in the queue for installation.
And on the garden front, a most unexpected surprise. Vernon and Petunia were slinking about and sniggering at the Izzie Lair last week but they were doing more than looking. Turns out the ma had brought along her camera and filled it with lots of digital piccies of weeds, walls and assorted oddities including the little patch of banksias. Been peeking at the piccies on her computer today. Only problem is, it is so ancient that the usb ports are stuck way at the back so the Iz will have to resort to bringing over our Preciousss to Privet Drive and downloading the piccies from the camera itself and hoping that they take up a bit less space than the ridiculous 5-6 mb per piccie that they have reached on her own computer
The Izzie sister in Amsterdam is considering hiring some landscape artist to do a backyard blitzkrieg at her place so the ma took these piccies to send to her - probably less as an example and more as a warning - the Izzie's Lair being as unDursleyish as it is possible to be.
But we thinks she's just jealous of those big fat purple artichoke flowers that look like thistles on steroids
