Melbourne

And thus begins the beginning of the chillo season.

At front is an orange hab , ones at the back are thais. Took under a week to pop which was surprising.

Dammit I've snapped an underwire. Everything was go so well today too. ☹️

Hello everyone 🫡 Hope you all have a great Sunday!

My dog did something that I've never seen him do before. Waited until the kid got up from the kitchen table to blow her nose, leaped on to the chair, skinny body stretched out, front paws on the table and hoovered the rest of her meal up in seconds. He didn't even stop when I walked in. This is why I have rules about pushing chairs in.

@[email protected] Ended up saying happy birthday to SIL. One more forced dinner out for the year (bday) then I don't have to worry about them until xmas :) Which is an awful thing to say.

Sammi woke me at 4:00 for snuggles and purrs. Not exactly complaining, given the circumstances.
She requested breakfast a little later, and after a little trial and error, chicken creamy treats seem to be the way to go.
Still going to take her back for a follow up with the senior vet as soon as I can, but I'm a lot more hopeful than I was yesterday.

Bit of rain on the way

The person 2nd to me in my tipping comp has tipped the same as me for the first game today.

I lead by 3 and with that I’ve won my tipping comp! Woo hoo!

Stawms closing in on Ballarat - it's coming, just not here yet.

Had donuts cravings this morning that demanded satisfaction. The Paris theme ones really hit the spot, especially the creme brulee 😋 Still riding the high of Miniest winning "Most Creative Costume" award at her parade on Friday. Costume made it home intact, so now I have a giant wearable book in the loungeroom 😂

Omg I'm eating out ATM in a busy place and I just sneezed into a napkin in a way that made a seal with my mouth. It came out as an enormous squeak squeal thing and turned everyone's heads. Eek.

pollen so much, hay fever bad, even poor Bill has red watery eyes.

Hehehe I can hear Mickey biting my partner's knees while they're on the toilet 😂

"What is going on?"
"Why are you so mean!"

Round 2 is coming and wow the lightning is so cool to watch, very flashy this time.

Mother trucker I slept so much last night! Another 10 hours solid? Some unsettling dreams that were an extrapolation of the deeply excruciating arthouse film I watched on Friday (dark lighting, endless rain, depressingly small and crowded concrete living space, and drawn out toilet scenes). I would've loved some sun today but no dice, so it's time to pack up my things and go to uni...

...though I also just want to spend today curled up and blanked out. It's okay. Next weekend. Next weekend I will be able to take a real breather.

I reluctantly turned down an opportunity to catsit for a friend next month because the driving to work/uni/my home (to check in on plants) was gonna be heinous, on top of not having my usual comforts. I do NOT want to burn out again this soon. But... cat.

I have eaten 4 scoops of double choc chip ice cream.

Oh it was so nice.

There was a Rush cover band playing at Max Watts last night, I wish I could have gone. Usually I'm not one for cover bands but it sounds like these guys play Rush songs exactly the way they did, and they were doing Moving Pictures and the song Hemispheres in full

Ooh power just went out!🔦🕯️

If you have stuff to do today (I need to go get a haircut and buy a cpl things before new job tmrw) get it done before 2-3pm!! Should be nice weather until big bad storm hits around then

TIL I need to clean a gutter.

Every single day I have been sorting and clearing out boxes. Today it's getting rid of some sewing supplies I will never use. Maybe some one else can get some use. Yesterday it was a bunch of books, some dvds and some kitchenware I didn't want.

safe and sound on the train

Aaaachew!

Now that is some rain.

Oh, you can't redeem a McMuffin using Macca's points anymore. What's the bloody point then.

I went to get a chicken burger from Red Rooster. They left me sitting at the drive thru window for ages after I’d ordered at the box. Eventually I saw one of the cooks walk up to the guy who was meant to come and see me, he had my burger in his hand and must have said “can I give this to the drive thru?” or something and the guy said yes so he comes over and hands me the burger, says have a good night and closes the window. Notice that at no point had I paid.

I don’t know if it’s just because I’ve been playing too much cowboy video game but I just left with my burger. Peeled out of there like I’d pulled off a heist. So I’m officially an outlaw now. Life is rough on the other side of the law but it sure is excitin’! Yeehaw!

Get your knickers off the clothesline errybody.

Power came on and it was a shame in a way because we were having a discussion about the internet: which would you rather, shitty internet or none at all?

Good morning

Ok it may not be that big. Carry on.

One big boom. And…

It’s on like donkey kong here in Docklands it’s friggin bonkers

And there's a Wattle Festival on in Hurstbridge today. We're planning on that being our morning thing so I better make sure the family are stocked up onantihistamines

Oh shit, it’s Sabbath already.
