Chooken is in the oven, I might relax tonight and do a jigsaw puzzle. I have a cool one of a map of Atlantis. ๐คญ

Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
My eyelids were so itchy all day. Stayed inside. Have been eating low allergy stuff all week. Aargh. Is this just a hell hayfever season or what?
Anyone ever had to fight an employer for unfair/constructive dismissal? Any tips/links/resources gratefully received
(not for me - for family member)
Yep. Took them to fairwork, self represented and got a payout. My favourite part was being asked if their lawyer was able to stay at the hearing, and of course I said no.
I had a diary of events, well documented. Waited until I was made redundant then lodged the case.
Butcher bird singing outside my window. They have such a lovely whistle tone. Noisy miners are not happy about it, the brave ones are attempting some screeching and swooping to dislodge the visitor, but from a safe distance so are not having much luck thus far. Suburban bird drama.
sky pretty
I get lovely views from the kitchen and laundry windows now that the house next door (and its extension) have gone. I'll miss it when the building starts again.
I'd just like to take this moment to state that out of all the words for various meals taken at certain times of the day, my favourite one is "lunch".
It just sounds so satisfying, easy, relaxing, warm, rewarding and nutritious. Something you could really get your teeth into.
"Dinner", on the other hand, has an unnecessarily fussy sound. It should be replaced with "supper".
What about Tea?

My little back garden has turned into a bit of a nursery, and as a result, there are a few young children screaming about the independence that's being forced upon them. There's also quite a few looking a little wet and upset by the current downpour, so I have propped the table tarp up a little so they may shelter.
How are coffee tables so expensiveโฆ. Hundreds of dollars. Even at fantastic furniture
Not the best weekend to go camping...so far just a minor leak, but I can't find where it's getting in...
Do I get up to go eat,
A toasty, midnight treat
A tasty, savoury treat?
But I'm so comfy;
It's kinda funny
How I'm too lazy
To feed my belly.
