Took my kid waterside to sit in a sunbeam then made volcanoes from cartons, watercolors, frozen water.

Before I fell asleep, I was comfort reading Seagreen, and was woken, at 3am, from a dream that I was reading the blog of another campus acquaintance, called "Melbourne vs Hobart", the diary of a reformed hipster that converted to a Labor vote after fathering five kids. (Note: all fictional, sub-conscious conflating him with Nick Cave's Red Hand Files.). The fictional version was likeable because he wrote grammatically correct blogs about domestic life with his baby mother. I'd read that! 

A blog by ex-goths would be funny, if earnest, but not sure what comes first: finding the person interesting enough to read their blog, or in reading their blog, finding them interesting. As always, it's about managing relationships without throwing shade, sensitivities differ. Lim thought my diary & Sim's photos belong together, which was sweet.
