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

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?

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.

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".

Surely it's a good omen where despite unsurprisingly waking up late from sleeping at 2am in the morning, the tram arrives exactly as you're walking to your stop - so I'll only be 10 minutes late to get me carshare. And then! Let the driving begin!

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.

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.
