One of my neighbours has been playing classical music over the last week or two and it's just so lovely to go out on the balcony and listen.
Some opera singers, classical instrumentals shame I know the songs but not the names of them.
Edit: O Sole Mio!!! That's it! That's what my neighbour is playing right now
Took the Minipeelers out for an ice-cream and walked along the local creek. It's a windy, polleny kind of day but it wasn't unpleasant, not along the creek path anyway. Cut some of a plant outside that had keeled over for some reason. Did a couple of loads of washing and cleaned the bathroom. Am procrastinating on the kitchen.
Saturday morning insight into the weirdness that is my brain:
- Dream recollection #1: being unable to breathe (scary, I have a feeling of being somewhat aware that I was dreaming but couldn’t quite wake myself up).
- Dream recollection #2: randomly eating a piece of 5 day old bread.
How did I even get this far in life?
Drove all the way to Preston to fill up at the last servo still doing 169/L (forgot I gotta drive to Ballarat tomorrow). Saved $7 compared to the other joints at 189, probably worth it as it would've only been about 50c extra of petrol. Dropped off some insanely overdue library books. Worked out how to undo the key lock I had my spare keys in. Laundry done. Now time to make a brunch of spinach, scrambled eggs, smoked salmon and toast.
Next up, grab some boxes and sort out empty jars (colleague has offered to take em all) and expired/unlikely to be used food in pantry. Might use up some of the pantry stuff to take tomorrow, maybe a big batch of BBQ jackfruit. E: nope it's going to be rice and curry, so jackfruit curry it is. And toor dal with spinach.
Title
The brain is a ruminant,
Though only when the sun sets,
Reclaim the ruins and the remnants,
The river mouth regurgitates
Riddles from the red-raw years,
Rhymes to ride the tide of tears,
Resolute in the face of fears.
Re-masticate the reveries,
Feel them flow forth freely
Between the gaps and synapse.
A lapse of judgement partly
Resides within the wraps,
The wrinkles, and the folds
Of the grey matter maps;
Memories unresolved, retold.Some rather impressive model tram work here. I think the guy made these models himself and the overhead wires actually deliver power
Ended up making a shit tonne of food, in addition to the dal and the slow cooked jackfruit, made a massive broccoli and pea and cashew curry that is bloody delicious if I say so myself. Not much progress with the jars and haven't started pantry cull yet. But I don't mind because I have momentum and a plan... and had a few nice family chats today so that was worth it.
Downside is I've picked up a nasty headache out of nowhere this arvo. I'm going to dish out this food, chuck everything in the dishwasher (I will fucking miss this dishwasher), finish the leftovers and call it a day. Gotta love winding down to Fresh Produce on PBS
Would anyone like a music quiz on this fine morning?

Lawd, after midnight again… 💀
I’ve just done a pleasantly chill gym sesh.
I’m headed in the general direction of the market for lunch
Chicken tenders cut up, spinach, onion, capsicum. Garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepperberry, mixed herbs (lol), sesame seeds.
To be added: pasta and cheeeeeeese
You, me and the apocalypse marathon. I regret nothing
