Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
Finally got the motivation to tackle That Cupboard in the kitchen (you all know the one). Better half of two bin bags and a good half of the yellow bin later, plus a few things for the op shop pile and a few things I need to sort/see if they can be repaired etc.
Now time for a well earned drinkie and later, watch more of Mary and George.
salad for dinner has been made, potat, chicken, celery and home made mayo/yoghurt, curry /mango chutney dressing
Back in Melbs from Tassie and holy crap itโs still so hot. Now for the impossible task of cooling my house thatโs been locked up for 3 days.
Oh no not the Moomba parade ๐ That and the birdman rally are the only decent things about Moomba.
moomba parade was started to stop people going to labour union marches
Ha, that's the most humany shit I've ever heard. "Sir! The people are revolting over shit conditions and lackluster wages!"
"What the fuck is wrong with these greedy, self absorbed, entitled savages??? Only I deserve to be making money around here. I know! Have some people walk around in costumes! That'll ~~distract~~ cheer everyone up!"
"Holy shit it worked! You're getting a double bonus this year you legend!"
Wow. That changes the whole vibe. Thanks for the headsup!
My daughter of was in the parade a few years back, part of her dance school.
It was fun but like the Royal Melbourne Show, massive money out and rip-off
I decided to sell my weights set as, despite best intentions, I have really not been using it. One last workout getting everything to the door for pickup. Miss Meow is going to miss the bench, she enjoyed sitting on it.
Edit: weight set is now out of the house. No idea how the guy who bought it is planning on getting it into his car. Mr Woof is keeping an eye on him while he tries various tetris combinations.
Mulwala Water Ski Club has generously decided to fund my entire weekend and even added in a little extra spending money. Now back to hide in my air-conditioned motel room.
Excellent weather for sheets and towels wash day. Have even hung out the doona for a thorough uv powered airing out.

Normally I penny pinch to a ludicrous level (because I like having extra money for emergencies) but there's a $25 magnetic laundry shelf thing at Kmart that might keep things a bit tidier. It also holds a roll of paper towel but with the placement it could hold a hand towel.
I'm also wanting various art supplies. Perhaps a few more pairs of period jocks. Why does everything cost so much.
Be careful with magnetic shelves, they can be addictive. I'm up to four in the kitchen and one in my locker at work. If you have the right spot for them they can be very useful.
Ran a risky play and popped the oven on for thirty mins to crisp up some pre-parboiled vege to have for the next few days, doubled down and cooked some snags....I think it worked. Now have yummy salad options.
yums
That singular bag of ice is already deceased. ITUS

Charles Bradley (RIP) changes is so, so good.
Where is the 50km/hr winds bom? I cancelled plans for that ๐คฌ
O shit I forgot to pull my plants in. The water platter had also dried up and fallen down again already.
