BOUGHT PLANTS. Not all the plants, but a good portion of the plants. Cyclamens seem to be only available as individual plants rather than punnets of 4-6 plants, and they're like $6 each, so I'll hold out and get them later. I did get six from the 'save me' table so they were only $4 each. Also all the ferns, so many gorgeous ferns and pretty leafy things. Photos tomorrow when the sun comes up.
VOTED. Woo, democratic responsibility fulfilled, Australia's biggest sausage sizzle participated in, and $10 donated to my local CFS. Senate voting sucked balls this time around. I mean, at least our senate paper isn't as insanely long as NSW, but it still creeps up the sides of the ballot box. I swear it was smaller than last election, tho, so that was nice. It's always in the past just been number 1 in the box of your party of choice, then fold it up 20 times and you're done, so I've only ever searched for my party of choice, stuck in the 1 and buggered off. This time it's a number from 1-6 deal, so I had to look at all of them.
'Okay 1, 2...... now what? Frigging.... 3 for Marriage Equality Party I guess? 4 for..... Voluntary Euthanasia Party.................... Bloody 5, 6, THERE I'M GOING HOME.'
I just didn't want any of them, and strongly disagreed with most of the how to vote card. Family First can suck my non-existent balls (by 'Family First' they think man + woman = parents and that's it), nobody with the word 'Christian' in their name should have anything to do with politics, Shooting and Fishing Party want to abolish the gun laws that came in after the Port Arthur massacre on the grounds that they haven't made a difference (HAH), and everyone else sucks on various grounds and nobody cares enough about what I want so stuff 'em all, basically.
I'm just so disillusioned with Australian politics lately.
On the plus side, I have plants. YAY GREEN.
