Pigeons are my favourite bird, of all the birds. I love their coo-ing sound they make, and how derpy they look.
Plus, Australia has a bunch of native ones. My favourite is the Crested Pigeon - they have little mohawks and squeak when they take off.
Look at these beautiful pigeons! https://www.australiaswonderfulbirds.com.au/pigeons
Look at the superb fruit dove and see the beauty of pigeons lol
Heading back to Melbourne after 10 days in the tropics. Pray for me 🙏🏻
Went for a random drive in this awful weather (which I quietly love) with no destination and found myself stopping into bingo. I've missed the first 2 sessions but there are still 2 remaining so LESSGOOOOO
They call me the big baller bingo caller. They call me big mack daddy dabber. They call me Nanna's Bane, ender of the elderly.
ugh, had a nasty nightmare about anxiety. I was packing to travel and husband was impeding me, making me late, making me anxious. I got angry.
Ok that was an incredible sleep lol
Rainy day rule requires me to sit in bed and play games whilst watching SCP videos.
Also if you were into the first A Perfect Circle album, check out Billy Howerdell's solo album from 2022

Saw my friend from Sydney last night. She gave me Jesus soap and put some in our friend's shower for shits and gigs.
-
going to a trampoline park today which hopefully should be fun
-
my aunt told me she's getting a puppy in two weeks and I'm so excited to meet her
-
also I found out who the girl was from work yesterday. Turns out she sometimes goes by a different name to what she introduced herself as. I wasn't going insane :D

I like dogs but the fact is I'm allergic to them. And my allergies to cats are exponentially worse.
For some reason I've been blessed with a hyperactive immune system. Spring as you can imagine is a real bitch. But I must say my symptoms are not nearly as bad now as they were when I was a kid.
I totally forgot The Bear s3 is out now. I hear it's not as great as the first two seasons as it was filmed alongside s4 so it feels more drawn out, but that's fine by me because holy hell the first two seasons were so intense I felt like I needed two weeks and a few therapy sessions to recover.
Time to get the fried rice out and fire up Stremio.
Anyone got any of that rain that was supposed to be bucketing down on us this morning? Dry as a bone outside, I see the forecast was reviewed to "late morning"... Looks like most of it's gonna fall into the bay :/
E: looks like it mostly hit the southeast. Been fairly unimpressive in the inner north east. Great morning to be in under the covers though...
E2: I rolled outta bed at 11:30 and am most pleased to see that the winds blew the rain onto the balcony for once (usually it's in the other direction and my pots are bone dry despite a dumping of rain). The purple tatsoi has been slow to kick off especially with some rude thing nibbling at it, but it seems to be going somewhere!
I've decided to quit vaping. I had to buy a shitty disposable today and it makes my chest hurt compared to the normal refillable ones I usually use.
These things are really fucking bad for your lungs. Way worse than the refillables. I haven't used one before and yeah, they are real bad news especially if you're a teen.
All normal refillable vape shops close tomorrow for good. Leaving only the dodgy black market "convenience stores" selling these terrible disposables.
Another case of a new law doing the opposite of what it should have.
I'm looking for a tea caddy spoon and fell down a rabbit hole of T2 fancy teas and infusions and weighing and timing and i'm just like....dude i'm too fucking poor white for this shit. I shovel it into a giant pot, fill it with boiling water then strain out the gooblies with a sieve as my ancestors did.
Miserable weather today. The car was getting very low on fuel but I didn't really want to stop. I'd seen petrol this morning at 193c so made a bargain with myself that I would stop if it was below 190, but otherwise I would put it off. Damn petrol station had 187c. I was very affronted by its refusal to cooperate in my attempt to avoid stopping so decided to make a stand and refuse to fill up at such a rude and uncooperative petrol station. Home has now been successfully achieved and petrol can wait for another day.
Had a productive day: caught up with the real estate agents who sold me this place and checked out a place that had been suggested but came onto the market too late to suit. (This one is definitely better.) Then started tackling the boxes of kitchen stuff that are still unpacked as well as reorganising the kitchen. Then felt like a break and a bahn mi so I got that via another OFI in the block of units where I made my first offer and got pipped at the post. And had no trouble walking at a medium pace three times for about 15 minutes, so yay!
lurv recaptcha. Does anyone in the tropics wear shoes when riding a motorcycle and I keep singing "I like traffic lights" by monty python https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbRyH6fkee0
Free Knafeh in the Foots apparently, get your sticky on!
