it lives!
Found it the other day in the cupboard. Hasn’t been turned on in aaaages. Charged it up, gave an error message so I slapped it and hey presto:
Nice, I wanted to get a larger Airscape cannister for my coffee but forgot to add one when I just got a bunch of filters from Alternative Brewing. This coffee place I like is doing a deal where you can get one shipped with the beans in it. Everything’s coming together
My mind is all stuck when it comes to the garden.
It needs unKAOSing.
learning to see chaos, to see it’s cause, and learning to wrest order and calm from orchestrated dysfunction has been difficult but worthwhile.
Pizza night
Grilled salmon pizza. Mr Woof got a few bits and was very impressed.
That looks delicious!!
Had a long meeting get pushed back so it felt extra long. Great use of everyone’s time that you talk about what you’re going to do, just for everyone to get up and leave for the day
Flights are booked to visit cousin.
Pretty excited. Never been to Sydney before.
Sydney disagrees with me. Or the other way round. I’m Blue mountains origin if heading that way, but a tourist site would be more recently updated.
Nice one!
Synney is gorgeous in spring/summer, not so sure about this season. Don’t miss the ferry over to Manly and visit the Corso but that maybe that is at it’s best in summer. I love their national parks but they are a bit out of town. Also the Queen Victoria Buildings are just beautiful. It’s worth taking an organised tour around The Rocks - so much history and a tour guide really helps. If you or your cousin suffer a brain injury during your visit, my son is a neurosurgeon working locally. Just in case you need him.
So happy for you. 😊😊😊
I just bought a $35 memory foam pillow from KMart. Quite an upgrade from my lumpy-no-matter-what, non memory foam $10 KMart offering - but that did a good enough job for 18 months or so. Fingers crossed for comfy
Mad flapping antsy nonsense after Body Corp AGM. Probably no huge weird bills, aside from water but that is another type of carp.
I was a bit disappointed that the ham I ordered was not available and they refunded me instead of giving me a different type of ham. But then the ham was in the order anyway, so now I’m very happy because I got free ham. It’s a total rollercoaster of emotions this morning!
Now I’m picturing legs of ham sitting on rollercosters, thank you!
Breakfast muffin assembly went well. I bought some ‘muffin top’ tins that are perfect for cooking eggs in the oven, and I can fit a dozen eggs and a tray of bacon in the oven at once. Assembly and wrapping is still a bit tedious, but I’ve now got a dozen breakfast muffins in the freezer with a lot less mess and effort than cooking in the pan took.
Now I just need to clean everything up, then vacuum pack all the meat I bought for the freezer.
Time for some errands then a little gardening 🙂
Hopefully your weather is a bit better than mine then, it’s freezing cold and raining this afternoon. I took out the compost bucket earlier and that’s as close to gardening as I’m coming today.
a cold front just moved thru as I was getting home 15 minutes ago 🥶
It should keep moving - it’s beautiful and sunny again here!
I got in about 20 of weed pulling
if I keep at it maybe it will help, just want it tidy now
just got so down about the garden when it was messed up
I can has lights in my office, electrician came to change all the fittings ( after months of waiting ) . Yay, no more SAD
Completing a cert that I’m over qualified for. Necessary but, man this is going to be a slow week…
one hour in
Hands are hard!
these are good hands!
Ayy, I’m doing a cert that I’m over qualified for too.
God I’m still so fuckinf salty over Neil Gaiman being an absolute perverted fuckstick. But damn his short stories really informed my personality.
One of my favourites is called Changes, about a man who develops a pill that can just cure cancer. The side effect is it changes the person sex overnight. The short story explores how people start to use it recreationally, discrimination that arises from its use, and how society evolves over the inventors life to incorporate this new way of existing. It’s so well written, and I think about it often.
There’s so many of his short stories I adore. Why’d he have to go and be such a fucking freak?
I still won’t throw them out though, they informed too much of my childhood and I’m too sentimental.
maybe the ability to question our social norms in radical ways comes from the same place where his empathy should be
tho he has a close relationship with his partner and they do evil stuff together, maybe some of the ideas are hers
but now that I think of his books there is no kindness or tenderness in them
I wouldn’t be surprised, I haven’t really ever liked her tbh. She comes across as a little sadist imo
yup, no kindness, no tenderness
Right?! Absolutely fuck him. And her, for knowing and still sending girls to him. It absolutely pisses me off. He was so revered and his work is amazing. I’m down with separating the art from the artist for work you grew up and loved, keeping them, but I sure as shit wouldn’t spend any $ on his works now.
Yep! Amanda Palmer is NOT a girl’s girl. She’s a trafficker like Maxwell, as far as I care. Never liked her music anyway 😂
Burnt out today. Too much stuff happening the last week or so.
Having a chill the fuck out at home day.
I think you deserve a good chill out day. I’m sure Gibson will like having you around to hang out with too.
Cheers :)
She’s keeping watch
🍵🫂
