I found my Nella Last books. Nella was an Englishwoman who wrote diaries and filled out questionnaires for Mass Observation during WW2 and continued for years afterwards. Somebody then compiled several books out of her 12 million words. A fascinating read written by a housewife and volunteer at the time.
Stimulation Clicker, a comedic browser-based incremental game from the same person who made Absurd Trolley Problems and many other fun little things
It was so over the moment I realised I could cheat with the DVD bounces.
good night everyone , sweet dreams 😘
Has anyone heard from StudSpud lately? Haven’t seen them around like usual.
I was just in the kitchen and I see something at the back door. I walk to the door and a cat is there, just staring. How strange.
I think Miss Meow got sent to you by accident.
Has anyone been to the Jurassic World Exhibition in Brunswick? Is it any good? Thinking of taking my daughter there tomorrow or Friday.
Someone posted this in the other place, it’s a live stream of a fuck off massive titan arum in Braeside blooming:

If you go back about 1.5 hours to compare you can see it is (quite) slowly opening right now.
That thing is grotesque. It looks like two decomposing legs pointing up out of a huge Venus fly trap
I thought it looked like a synchronised swimmer being eat by a cabbage.
Got definite feed me Seymour vibes
The house spring clean begins today. A lot to do. Going to get the bathroom and bedrooms done.
But not the cables… 😜
I keep looking at the audio cables and feeling guilty lol. I need to get it all sorted for the January shows. But I just cannot be fucked lol

I have a plan on how to get a full night’s sleep. Let’s see how it plays out.
Goodnight all ❤️
Do share how it goes!
I thought the night flu tabs would help me sleep, but they didn’t. I’d really like to sleep but can’t get comfortable ☹️
You need one dose of Miss Meow.
That’s what I’m prescribing you.
I have made good progress today. I acquired good drugs, managed to spend all day sitting up and even managed a proper breakfast and lunch. Dinner was an iced bun from the freezer, but two outa three ain’t bad. I even managed a shower and brushing my teeth. Tomorrow I might even feel well enough to floss!
Mr Woof is definitely hoping the progress continues, he has a physical therapy program worked out involving many walkies that he wants me starting ASAP
Well that was a waste of 30 minutes with my car insurance people trying to ask for a discount with failure.
I need a good movie for tonight.
Something with lots of car crashes to make you appreciate the value of your insurance more?
the cars that ate paris
Hmm nah. I don’t need something to validate my insurance.
Mass destruction is welcome though.
I almost feel like doing the original Star Wars trilogy.
I was out getting Melbcat’s antibiotics and other stuff so I got a chance to hit up 4 shops looking for a liquid that wasn’t the huge bottle of Finish. Finally I found two different brands in an IGA.
I thought Somat Excellence Duo Power Gel was like $9 but it rang up at $17 making it more expensive than the Finish for half as much. (The laundry liquid bottle leaked in the bag so I don’t think I have a receipt to take back.) It claims to have a degreaser and something to make things shine which I assume is a rinse aid. Be careful with this one. It has two holes in the top, the liquid is very runny and pours out of the bottle fast and excessive. I wiped out the excess and carefully poured in a few drops. Ran the rapid cycle and opened it to be hit by perfume. Ran a water only rapid cycle as a rinse. Verdict: There was less residue and no visible spots of detergent however I could still faintly taste the detergent and ended up manually rinsing everything under the tap. Also the utensils weren’t properly cleaned. I could have added more of this detergent but was trying to avoid re-rinsing under the tap. The Morning Fresh dishwashing gel was $6. I don’t like the smell of the Morning Fresh you use in the sink but tried this anyway. It’s thick and came out in a small glob. More generous usage than the first detergent so we’ll see. I’m using it on the pet bowls and the utensils that didn’t get cleaned properly the first time. Same deal, rapid cycle followed by same for rinse without soap. (So I’m not doing 2x 1-3 hour cycles.) After the wash I opened it and could distinctly smell the soap. The utensils looked clean this time but after a second wash, putting the forks points up this time, and using more detergent I would hope so. Ran the ‘rinse’. (There doesn’t seem to be a separate rinse cycle.) Verdict: Still taste detergent. Filter was clean, the second rack not in use was folded down. For the stacking I could get a smaller utensil holder to take up less space (as putting them on the wine glass holder doesn’t really work) because the dishwasher doesn’t take much for its size. But I don’t know. I paid a lot for this thing and while it kind of cleans and technically helps me shift the dishes, it is so much more hassle than it’s worth. I’m already flat out dealing with constant other crap and instead of making life easier this dishwasher leaves me buying expensive detergents and I end up doing things twice anyway. I may save this for emergency use only because kind of just ends up as hand washing and drying it yourself with extra steps. If I knew it would be like this I would have just kept my money.
This made me laugh (I hope the link works)

I’m working my butt off but it feels like anything I do backfires or needs to be redone. I’m so tired.
