Seven: Monday 18/07/2005

Sunday, 24 July, 2005

We all sleep in. I don't sleep very well. I keep having Neil-related dreams—of the anxious kind. Not sure why. I get up and start doing our laundry, otherwise we will run out clothes for this trip. There are clothes already in the washing machine and I empty my yarn box to put them in for their owner. I don't quite understand how the washing machine works (it's a Fisher & Paykel) but it seems to clean my clothes. The owner of the other clothes (an academic) comes back and puts his in the dryer. They seem to take forever to dry. I dry most of ours on hangers in the bedroom wardrobes but I also have a stack that need to go into the dryer and I'm getting impatient and annoyed because the academic keeps turning the dial back on the dryer to dry his clothes for longer and I feel like I'm hogging the washing machine while Kathleen needs to wash her clothes too. Finally the dryer is mine.

While the laundry is going, I finished sewing together my cardigan. After I finished, I realised that I had done it wrongly (discovered the instructions on how to really do it on another page of the Patons book. Grrr ...) I can't be bothered taking it apart and doing it again and anyway it doesn't look too bad.

We all go to lunch in the college dining hall. Afterwards, I suggest going to Brunswick—to Barkly Square—to buy yarn (Anita's recommendation). There is a stall just outside K-Mart and all the yarns are $2.50. I buy so many it's a bit embarrassing. We also get some groceries for the flat and catch the tram back. Then we walk over to Lygon St (this is when I take photos of all the colleges). Ben has bought headphones he is unhappy with so he leaves us to return them (he comes home with new headphones double the price).

Kathleen and I walk up and down Lygon St. We discover the Lygon St. Borders and make plans to return there with our 15% off vouchers (courtesy of Continuum. It's getting late so we walk back through the University of Melbourne and have dinner in the college dining room. In the evening we watch Law and Order and, as Kathleen had purchased Adventures in the Dream Trade, she and I decide to take turns reading Neil's American Gods weblog to each other.
