Hairdresser gossip provides more information about the Willis/Boulcott St demolition … apparently big trucks came one night and took the apartments on stilts away to the Hutt somewhere. The way he tells it, all the furniture and chattels in the apartments were just shrink wrapped/tied down and each apartment was picked up as-lived-in and moved. I’m wondering how they got them onto the motorway from there though – there are tight bends and an underpass to get through … I guess they closed the roads and went the wrong way up the slip road to The Terrace.

17 storeys of Telecom ‘campus’ are going there it seems.

At Gotham this morning sparrows were hopping around the floor looking for crumbs. I was referring to them as he or she depending on which one hopped over really close. The Mister wanted to know if I was randomly calling them he and she. He didn’t know that sparrow fact! So I told him – boys have a black bib, girls have none. Now he’s wondering what *important* bit of information got bumped out of his brain so that that gem can reside there. Eyeroll.
