There was a moment this morning that reminded me of a scene from The Truman Show. It is where American suburbia is so perfect, and everyone does the same exact thing, in a coronagraph way.
It was rubbish collection day, and I knew that ours had been emptied, so I walked up to the end of the driveway to retrieve it.
At the very same time, my neighbour was doing the same thing, almost step for step, as he turned around to walk back he saw me, and we both waved at each other, and continued to walk back, it made me laugh to myself. If you haven’t seen the film, I advise you to, it’s very thought provoking.
We were due for a thunderstorm mid morning that never happened, typical, all the technology in the world and they can’t even get that right.
Kelli wanted to finish the dresser we picked up hoping for a quick flip, that didn’t quite go to plan. We ended up stripping the top, which was cherry, and painting the rest. Waiting for the sun to set, I took some pictures, and lo and behold it sold within a few hours.
I also did a bit more work on the kitchen island, it’s gradually coming together, but I will need a couple more trolleys to be able to move it around.
We have been watching a twelve hour documentary about the history of Europe, well the real history of Europe. It is called Europa, the last battle.
Having a German mother she alway talked about how good life was when she was a young girl, that conflicted greatly with the history I read in textbooks.
We are halfway through it, and it blows my mind every day. Needless to say it did portray Germany building itself back up after the destruction of the First World War, and the life that my mother experienced.
This continued my journey through the lies and deception we have all been subjected to.
It was refreshing to see a different account of history, but also how the heroes and villains were actually reversed.
