Back from the community breakfast. It was a pretty good time, they had a small accoustic band and..
I still like fire trucks!
The little hall where the event was held. Cricket anyone? Giant pencils along the path into the primary school next door. The food tent. There was yabby Mornay, lamburgers, sausages, bacon and eggs. Delicious! The Minipeelers and I helped cut up all the bread rolls. It was good fun and I wore a mask so my weeping face didn't scare any small children.Woah what a spread! Sounds amazing!
Happy Australia Day 🇦🇺 💚💛🍺
It feels so odd to be around people. Where I live there are fuck all people around. I feel so out of place lol
I’m headed to the market. Can I get anything for anyone?
Blood orange sherbet cordial?
Crumpets and cherries please 🙏
A selection of cheese would be great thanks.
Bratwurst.
Biltong please!
No sleep gang checking in. Woke up abruptly, jerkily turned over, hurt back in the process. Did not know ‘injured back due to nightmare’ was on the list of random injuries that can happen when you get old list. Well anyway, guess I‘ve ticked #10348 off the list.
I've had a random toe cramp wake me up before and that fucking sucked.
Someone's under the table already.

Oh he heard you and chased you out of HIS yard.
I started off the day with a lovely Sunday sleep in. Unfortunately I was supposed to be at work, so I followed up with a bit of a rush and a late mark. Why do these things only happen to me on high penalty shifts?
And now you'll feel like you're running behind all day!
Goodnight ❤️
Ugh I hate this fucking apartment, it's such perfect Goldilocks weather out there, beautiful cool air and Sun not too hot, meanwhile it's a solid 5-7C hotter in this horrid old dogbox with zero cross ventilation. Can't even open the windows until 8pm when the sun isn't beating down on the hellish west facing bedroom windows where most of the heat is coming in.
It's also been a day for minor bombshell events in the family: mum wants to move back to the ancestral country a lot sooner than expected, with all the huge discussions that comes with it...
...and a young niece's sudden coldness to her beloved aunt and uncle (almost like a foster family to her) turns out to be mainly because she found out said uncle's tiktok account follows almost exclusively onlyfans producers. I feel very conflicted about the second one, I really would like niece and her aunt to rebuild their relationship (niece is quite vulnerable due to parent's ugly divorce but also kind of sheltered). But also it's not my business to get involved in other people's marriages. Though if that aunt - i.e., my cousin - found out later and knew I was aware but didn't tell her, she'd be livid. Ehhhh iunno. I've had a cider and some chips and I'm kind of done for the day now
Brunch with family in the city and a wander in the sunshine, how absolutely lovely. Now home for relaxation and probably soju. Cheers!

Sky pretty.

I'm done!
Whatever is left can wait for Tuesday.
Now my weekend can start. I've never watched pokemon so I downloaded all the seasons.
Let's see what the fuss is about.
Edit: man this theme song is awesome lol
I haven't watched pokemon since I was but a wee lad watching some Cheese TV, but that theme song has stuck with me. Absolute banger.
Managed to conk out early but overheated and woke up at 1 -_-
Had a shower and am cuddling with Melbcat.
She’s managed to spit medicine on herself so I’m going to have to spend some time cleaning it out of her fur with a damp face washer. It’s surprisingly stubborn to remove once dry.
That can wait though. She’s being so cute
I've got about 3 or 4 hours of work to do today. Trying to get it all done today so I can have a day off tomorrow.
Never again. I'd rather fall behind than lose a weekend ever again.
I'm sending the manager a message tomorrow requesting an urgent meeting. I've brought the timeline forward.
They have until the end of next week to decide.
I’ve made a big plunger of coffee which is chillin in the fridge for making iced coffees with, a big wedge of watermelon, Roast chook to make rolls or salad with. Ready for tomorrow’s weather.
I have chops, tomatoes, cucumber, grapes, hot pockets. I ain't doing a single thing tomorrow.
I am in awe.
My aunt and I somehow got into a discussion about going to Canberra next month. Never been before, and am thinking of just heading there for a day or two on a longer trip maybe next year.
Hit up the galleries.
Another wave.
These are gorgeous!
I am so tired, must have some kind of bug, hope it isn't covid.
Rest and water for you! I hope you feel more energised quickly!
Time to cook a batch of rice so I can do sushi tomorrow and not cook.
Ditto. Also got a legolamb in the airfryer. Will NOT cook tomozz. The good news is that there'll be a cool change in the evening (I hope).
Same. I've cooked some pizzas and done cleaning. Watered plants. Hope to do nothing tomorrow.
Yeppers, Lorne be packed again, fam.
Having a lot of trouble facing the chores. Do I give up and go get some sun? Really need to get a bunch of clothes organising and food prep done today because I have a busy day tomorrow.....but sun.
Get some sun!
Sun always wins :)
Time for brie and bbq shapes!
I wonder if it counts as being awake if I’m constantly hitting the snooze button.
Edit: I think I saw a native bird outside but it flew off before I could get my crappy plastic binoculars. It was brown with a long tail and made a rattling chattering noise. Didn’t look like a mynah.
Melbcat ate a good bit of her breakfast. I give her anti nausea medicine with the rest of the meds by oral syringe, and since she’s been picky about the expensive kidney friendly food switched back to the stinky generic tuna cat food she loves… At the moment she gets that with sprinkled toppings of Fortiflora and nutritional yeast, a spoonful of pumpkin puree, and today she got a dab of plain lactose free yogurt too. Baby girl eats better than I do ❤️
My golden nugget pumpkins look ridiculous with their plastic hats on but they’re not eaten or dead. The bigger fellow that got planted first even appears to be growing larger. The soil test results came back and everything is within safe limits.
Maybe a wattle bird? They make all sorts of noises
Yeah, I’ve been looking up calls and it could be
What's your favourite thing about Melbourne?
You can be yourself and people don't care.
Apart from the occasional loud mouth people can exist they way they want to and they're treated like everyone.
Complete apathy is the way to be.
It used to be the tramcar restaurant. So many memories.
That's an incredibly hard question to a answer!
I honestly think mine might be the bay!

I thought that little wonky wake-up nudged my sleep back in the right direction but then I napped all day again, getting dehydrated and having nightmares :(
This isn’t restful or fun.
Algorithm just served me up this - Yass!
American, but some things are universal.
That’s so funny! Although with school back next week I don’t reckon ours would be bored right now, lol
Sky noisy
ok guys , I've started watching severance, done the first two eps.
it's some marxist north korean type mind control shit to give busy work to very highly intelligent true believers.... I think.
I just started watching as well.
Just finished episode 1.
Interesting so far.
I’m on the bandwagon now.
I'm just about to start episode 6! Very curious what they are doing at work
I will continue watching .
I find it .... interesting.
We did Mopa in Thomas town today. It's a nice spot with a lot to do, but my boys were mostly interested in the first section where there were ramps to put toy cars down
Changed my bedding, doing laundry. Might hang the sheets and towels out tonight to dry in the blast tomorrow.
I should probably make some jelly too. Need to check the water is well topped up in advance because birds and animals will need it. Maybe pull the smaller pots inside.
I’m still not liking this dishwasher. I’ve ended up using it regularly only so dirty stuff doesn’t build up and attract bugs.
Yass, fresh bedding.
I did mine last night and it was heaven.
