Winter has set in here in Melbourne. Days are darker, nights are cold, and the rain comes and goes. This change in seasons has pretty much guaranteed that I do most things indoors, only venturing out to go to work and get the mail.
Yet, would you believe I STILL can't get my bin day right? I've been here over a year, too! I either put the damn thing out two days early so that the things in the way sitting on the curbside, or I end up running down the street, bin in tow (and in my underwear) after the truck. *sigh*
Let me just say, running in the rain in my boxer briefs isn't my idea of fun. Although, secretly I feel that the bin man does get his weekly chuckle at my expense. Why must they pick up the bins so darn early, too? LOL
Oh well...next week I may get it right...or it may be another week where my neighbours get to see me running down the road in not much else but their imagination!
I am Mark Alders, writer, intactivist, post office worker, and all round nice guy...except when someone steals my chocolate! I am a proud Australian, and as such use different spellings and have some weird phrases, too. Hey, perhaps that's why I write some damn weird shit!
I can't change who I am.
So when you read one of my books, enjoy the ride, but please don't say I can't spell. I spell how I damn well feel like it! LOL Naw seriously, I spell like an Aussie...do forgive me because we are a breed unto ourselves. Where else can a place have 11 registered public holidays and no one has any idea what they are for except to have a BBQ and down some beers!
If you do find a genuine error in my work, please let me know so I can speak with my editor...also, as an addition to that, offer chocolates as well. Lots of chocolates.
*hugs*
Mark
