Last night I had a super realistic dream.
Amy and I were in a shop. We brought a scratchcard and won $7000 on the spot.
I woke up so happy and then stayed that way for about ten minutes until I realised it was a dream. Doh!

Free Books
AMY SAYS....
Yesterday I was feeling pretty low. Sometimes it feels like I'm a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions in our tiny little room. (Yes this is dramatic - but let me run with it ;)
My boss looked at me with kind eyes and said go get some movies for work, Lock Stock and Two smoking Barrels (don't ask) and buy yourself something to cheer you up. It was so sweet because I hadn't even told him I was blue. So I went to Virgin and picked up two books, one for me and one for G. I made sure they were cheap to be considerate.
I bought myself Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami and I bought Gareth Overheard in New York: Conversations from the Streets, Stores, and Subways by S. Morgan Friedman for FREE!!!

Tears in the post
GARETH SAYS...
Last Friday, we got the official confirmation that we owe the Student Loan People absolutely bugger all. When Amy opened the letter she started crying.
My favorite bit is the warm and friendly signature at the bottom and the fact it thanks us for fulfilling our obligation.
We are going to be framing it!!!!

Another crazy old person
GARETH SAYS...
Remember that Indian beggar who collected all that money over 50 odd years of begging?
Well here is another crazy old person!

Hum Drum
AMY SAYS...
Hmmmm...now that the first bit is done the second bit is going to be a lot harder. The novelty has worn off and i think we are finding that it's a bit like floating on a raft.
The 'drifting out at sea' feeling isn't caused by our ever expanding air mattress; rather I think it might be Postpartum Depression - YIKES!!!

Personal space
GARETH SAYS...
To those of you who have been following the blog closely you might remember me saying that one of the things i miss most is personal space!!!!
Well that has all changed. I now have some personal space. It's pretty small but it is mine all mine!
I have splurged $10 a month renting a locker at the YMCA. It is one cubic foot and it is beautiful. At the moment it contains my swimming kit and a bottle of mouthwash. I have big dreams for it. I'm thinking of convert the back into a second bedroom that i can rent out and then putting in a skylight.
If anyone is looking for a room in Manhattan then we might be able to do a deal. It would probably be helpful if you were really really small and liked being locked in the dark for long periods of time.

Super stressful!
GARETH SAYS...
I wrote the following article weeks ago but didn't post it. I can safely say that things are much much better. Time changes everything. Thank goodness!
I have to admit that life is fricking stressful at the moment!
Everything is wobbling.
Our home - we might have to find a new place to live for numerous reasons
My job - we're laying people off due to the recession
ONB - the novelty of living off $20 a day wore of ages ago
Arggggghhhhhhhhhhhh the stress.
I feel like i might burst.
Hold it together Gareth. Hold it together.
