Omg omg omg a RABBIT was in our side yard this morning! It's obviously someone's pet, so I've had to leave Mr P and Miniest to catch it. When I left for work, something larger than football sized and greyish moved in the undergrowth and scared the bejesus out of me. When I saw what it was I tapped on the window and said, "Miniest! MINIEST! Come out here!" She did and just stared and said, "Oh. My. God!" She came out to look and I threw it some lettuce from out of my bag. She said, "Why do you have random lettuce in your bag?" I told her to go wake her dad and tell him and he flew out there to see it. I can't really see how something that large entered the yard. Mr P just messaged me "it's magic, it disappeared." So that's my morning visit from a magic rabbit!
Edit: it's still there! Hiding under Mr P's man cave couch.
Someone just left a large box of Hello Fresh on my doorstep. Commencing Operation Neighbourhood Doorknock now.
EDIT: Found the intended target. On another street, a different house number and different phone number from the one on the label (which was smudged a bit). Much gratitude all around. Scored some lemons from target household which was nice. And some early broad beans from another household that thanked me for doing the doorknocking thing even though they weren't the intended target. Today was clearly also the day for WGAC to deliver too, as a LOT of households had these boxes on their porches so to speak.
Monday discovery time. The top of my compost heap is thickly lined with tomato seedlings. Dunno what sort - might be punnet of cherry toms I chucked in there late last summer. Yay free seedlings.
Started off my holiday with an evisceratingly bad case of the runs on Sat am and I'm just coming a bit better. Not cool, body - not at my aunties where there's a billion and one delicious goodies ๐ญ and I want to go on walks and everything and have energy... have been sleeping for long long hours. I need to just let myself thoroughly rest. Taken a while for my mind to uncoil itself
My aunt has really slowed down a lot in the last 18 months though, physically and even mentally a bit. It's a looming reminder that she won't be around forever. I'll feel rather lost when that happens.
Well that was unpleasant at this hour. Loud bang and the electricity tripped in the whole house. A heat mat for chilli seed germination has blown after 4 days of use turns out to be the root cause.
Now back to getting all my automation working again. ssh pi@192.168... oh wait, wrong window ๐
Made a joke to my partner yesterday about racking off for solo week in Japan (well, probably just Tokyo) if I have a week off soon and itโs planted the seed in my mind and now I canโt stop thinking about it. If it was roles reversed, Iโd probably encourage him to go.
Tried online dating for like two weeks. Meant to meet up with someone tomorrow but haven't heard from them in a few days, so doesn't look like that's happening.
Not really feeling it overall, so my matches got some friendly messages because we don't do ghosting. I will be watching Coraline because one of them really talked it up. At least I got some movie and song recommendations out of it :)
I searched for lost rabbit posts online in my neighbourhood: nothing. I didn't notice any signs up around the neighbourhood either. Mr P is getting attached to it, so I'm trying to find where it came from, but also we can't seem to catch it. It seems to come and go as it pleases; sometimes it's under the man cave couch and then it's gone.. and then it's back! I even joined Facebook for the first time ever in an attempt to access lost and found pets groups, but there wasn't anything relevant and I got suspended after about an hour for violating the terms of use or Facebook "identity and integrity" rules or something..I didn't share enough personal information because I don't like doing that. No, I won't upload a selfie. No, I won't share my contacts with Facebook: it'd take too long to ask everyone's permission lol, which I know nobody does but that'd be the decent thing to do wouldn't it. Anyway, Magic the rabbit (Mr P named it) seems to be making itself -occasionally- at home in the tent, slowly getting closer to him. I didn't bother to tell him how I've been laughing all day at the "magic bag/lettuce" comments.
My what if machine is on overdrive lately and I want my brain to shut the fuck up because obsessing is not going to fix anything or make things go faster.
Time to start thinking about frocking up for the Brownlow tonight. I'm going fancy- clean trackies and jumper respectable enough that I would wear it outside.
Heading back to melbs today. Happy with how much shit I pulled out of the garden and no injuries (that cold ocean does wonders for inflammation). Will be leaving the chillos to fend for themselves for a week. True leaves getting a bit bigger! Will have to think about next steps soon.
Which brings us to the monday rrave.. Come on chillos stayinit
I have another 8 jars of gherkins now to go with the other 8 jars of gherkins. I've ran out of room in my pantry so I have to store them in the garage with my other collections like a prepper
I planted the zucchini seeds out in paper cups, 3 in each to thin later. I might get some sugar pumpkins and stakes too.
I have no clue how well this is going to turn out in the size of pots I have but I really need to be doing something constructive and my brain thinks of that as growing food
Sleepy because straight after getting back to Melbourne last night and with a 5am wake-up this morning, I still stayed up to watch the F1, couldn't miss Danny's last race. But oh man seeing his post-race interviews this morning... when even the interviewers are crying ๐ญ
I agree it's time for him to step aside, but still not an easy watch for someone who's been a fan of his since 2011.
Watched the last episode of the Grand Tour last night. We were both pretty cut up.
I know its better to go out on a high and all that, but man I really dont want to live in a world where there isnt one more special on the horizon. 22 years, most of my damn life they'd been doing it.
Movie review time. Gun Shy. omg ...lol The story is familiar, is lunacy, the characters insane or stupid, and it's a totes homage to Leone. Parody of Sopranos perhaps.
makes me lol so much that the critics were upset at the fart jokes but all the depictions of graphic psychopathic pointless violence and murder were ok.
