weekend at home in papunya

weekend at home in papunya, originally uploaded by wrap_nimbin.

This is the view from my front door, there is an abundance of fences and wire structures to obstruct just about every view. Today being the weekend means I got to sleep in and ignore the little yellow honeyeaters that chirrup loudly outside my window, though the fly was hard to ignore and finally got me up. The birds are great company though and because there are a few trees, only little but good enough, they are always here. One good thing about this house. There is also a great view beyond all the mesh of the fences and it is somehow very quiet at night - I can't hear all the dogs barking and kids shrieking all around the back of this place because of the design of the house. Bloody great! I get to sleep! Which is better than any other house I have had out here. The noisiest neighbors are the young folk who have come to do holiday programs with the kids but they are fun and they won't be here long. The bad things about this house are the aircon that doesn't work and the dark kitchen. But it's OK.


Weekends are a good time to ring me! I have a very groovy new phone bought from gotalk which gives me 25 cent untimed national calls so I might ring you first. i still get a bit lonely at times but have adjusted a lot from when i first arrived out here nearly a year ago. Now I have to start saving money, all that stuffing around from mr nasty and waiting to get back here means that I have not really made any money yet
although I have had fun, paid for a few plane trips and bought a few things.

For photos of Tara's fashion, take a look at my new photo site (click on meg's flickr photo gallery) - I will also put up more photos there from Papunya soon.
