Miss Meow approves of the new cushions.

I have some awesome gnochi from an Italian restaurant to sink my sore mouth into, some cheesecake, and a fluffy cat to annoy.

Life's good for now ❤️

Edit: as this is my last night of freedom before working again, I'm staying up one last time!!!

Lasagna. It is time.

Saw three Tawny Frogmouths at the park 😃 I love them.

The embiggening appears to have worked. I think my feet look quite fetching.

I’ll now be wearing them until bedtime just to make sure they settle in to the peculiarities of my feet

I think I found a new hobby. I put the boxing on Wii and KO'd a few dickheads. I'm tired now.

The spinach recalls because of E. Coli remind me of when I got salmonella from spinach in the early 2010s. My ex and I were so so sick, dying on the couch watching TV together, when the news started talking about it - that's how we found out what we had and why we were sick 😂

It's the only time I've ever had salmonella.

0/10 do not recommend.

Goodnight all! I'm going to get horizontal and vegetate in my creaky old bed. Ciao for now.

Lazy day. New job starts Tuesday so I'm getting up early tomorrow to get used to it. 6:30am.

So super early night tonight.

Starting new job tomorrow. Kind of nervous but excited.

Everyone in the block of flats next door have moved out (was sold, probably end up being townhouses), last dude to leave who has early onset dementia came and said goodbye which was a bit sad. Really nice guy and can't imagine the move for him is gonna be easy.

Other place next door on the other side (with a bunch of noisy kids which is all good) have moved out cause they're about to do renos.

Completely neighbourless, and the lack of noise reminds me of locky lockdowns which to be honest isn't the worst thing.

Which brings us the rave choon

I think I could get used to this

Does anyone know of an animal rescue or shelter that takes strays?

The ones I've tried just say to contact the council and that's not going to lead to a positive outcome.

much quieter here, last place had 5 neighbouring houses doing renos, one is a major demolition, the other uses jack hammers

and no aggressive junkies here, no porch pirates so far, had a package sit on my porch all day, was still there

and last thing I saw in my street in Carlton, first time I saw a homeless lady pushing a shopping trolley with her belongings, I went up to her and gave her a 20, she spoke in a middle class accent

I do understand living in the suburbs ( which I haven't done in 35 years ) means that even if I don't see social problems that doesn't mean the problem has gone away 😔

Apparently I had a deprived childhood. I have never made or worn an Easter bonnet or hat. I thought it was an odd new thing, but friends of the same vintage and similar geography tell me this had been happening for many decades, I've just somehow completely missed it. Huh.

🥬

windy here and I am pretty tired an achy

good night, love you all 😘

Tis a bit cool. Needed to chuck a blanket over the doona. Winter doona is going onto the bed on the next linen wash day.

This is my neighbour's fence. Everytime he finds something worthy he staples it on here. I've popped it under a spoiler because it's fucking hideous.

Had to do something pretty unfortunate this morning, so to balance it put, I finally got some lobster ramen. While the lobster itself was so-so (a bit tough) the lobster bisque ramen soup was the stuff my dreams are made out of!!

Now I need a long nap!

Anyone here AFAB have luck with menstrual cups?

got a case of standard dun wanna but i must meal prep before i go out for dinner and then I remember I bought chips and chocolate on sale yesterday

Wow. Big sleep.

Goodnight team. I hope I sleep as well as last night.

Among my recent purchases is a pair of canvas high tops. Because why the fuck not.

The process of stretching them slightly to get the fit just right - they ARE the right size, but feel just a smidge too small at the heels - is ongoing. I have stuffed…about four pairs of bundled up socks in these sneakers?

just more cleaning and unpacking today

I think I'll start setting up my shell collection cabinet 🙂

it's a very blowy day here and it's makes the cats skittish 😃

We had a good day at the Zoo today, the tigers and monkeys were fairly active.

My biggest takeaway was the Norco Scene is the zoo's bike of choice. If I was Norco or a reseller I'd get on that for a campaign

I thought the denizens of this shithole had finally left the bird water alone… Nope. Same tweaker came back yesterday and stole the metal pet bowl I was using to weigh the foil pan down.

Threw the water out of it the same aggressive way before stealing it so I have no idea why he keeps stealing them.

He’s always around here being a dickhead. And that was Melbcat’s old bowl, I was still using that. I wish stolen items could carry a curse.
