I know it probably sounds stupid, but I’m a bit devo.
One of the strays, the little calico hasn’t come to eat for the last 2 days and didn’t see her today either.
I’ve gotten a bit attached to these guys and I think I need to take a little step back emotionally.
:(
sorry dude. Its tough hey. Hopefully means shes found a home!
I hope so man.
There was a dad and 2 kids about 2 weeks ago that came to see what I was doing and they said she looked exactly like their cat that ran away but they didn’t think it was her.
Hopefully they came and got her.
aw, maybe call her
Will try.
Can you maybe get a little camera to see if she’s around when you aren’t out there?
Or maybe ask around to see if they came and got her (if it’s safe to approach people)
It’s understandable, you get attached to these little fellas
Had to take today off due to migraine.
Annoyed but glad for the rest. In the past I would have either gone in, or freaked out all day because of moderate workaholism.
Not this time.
Laptop is off and will stay off till tomorrow. Not stressed about what they’ll think.
It is what it is.
so many gentle hugs
it’s autumn , it’s migraine season
I’ve had one on and off since friday
Is it just me or are people super inconsiderate at the moment? Had people blowing smoke (vape or otherwise) whilst walking in front of me, people stopping to chat in tiny sections of supermarkets, people pushing to the front of the line, talking loudly on the phone (or even worse on speaker!), microwaving eggs in the office, singing in the office and acting like a session on the loo is year 9 drama club audition. Violence doesn’t solve anything but maybe we should make a gentle slap over the back of the head socially acceptable for when people are being a rude fuck.
Covid definitely upped the main character syndrome. Five years and a lot of people are still unwilling to let that go
Going to the comedy festival first year after covid was fuccckkkkedd. Shut up, every audience cunt!
Nah. People have always been cunts.
people are the same as always
Gotta say this new backpack is amazing! I didn’t realize the last one was so uncomfortable till I started using this one. its weird walking around the city without feeling like somethings is poking you in the back and pushing down on your shoulders.
The only justification for expensive stuff is sometimes they make considerations you didn’t even think was possible
What did you end up getting?
Bellroy classic. I’m a little bit regretting not getting the transit but the whole idea was a smaller more comfortable backpack so I had to be a bit more deliberate with what I’m carrying around.
Hello??? Is anybody out there???
Hello??? Guess what time it is…Its…
Puffer jacket tiiiimmme
Yeah
Waves hand. Points direction.
Me. Had a terrible nights sleep and am now awake too early. Gonna be a zombie today.
I’m always here, even if I can’t get this #@!?! thing to work
Gibson will throw a hissy fit and run off if I pick up my phone during brushies.
Jeeeeeeeez Louise.
beach
on Saturday the blue wrens told me off, on Sunday a willy wagtail, Monday a flock of corellas, today I saw some yellow robins
and here is a pic of big swan footprints in the sand
Beautiful
have I posted a pic of the swans? When the tide is low they always seem to congregate around a little rocky spit and spoon for food in the sandy mud.
Ha ha ha
Tech guy came to fix the stovetop, but he took one look at it and was like nope 😂 because the bench is stone (not wood), it has to be replaced with a same-size one. So he’s gonna give a quote to the RE for that lol
Rangehood is still jacked as well.
At least it was a quick appointment 😂
Goodnight all! I have laundered and tidied, worked, shopped, cooked dinner, tidied up afterwards and am officially retreating to my room for the alone time my introverted soul needs. Will most likely pretend I’m going to buy a house and check out property listings before falling asleep. 🥱😴
One more work day then a 2 week break.
Have the choice of going in super early but basically the sooner I finish the work I’ve been assigned and tidy up the office area then I’m done for the day and it’s not going to take me too long I reckon.
Also I managed to get a new ID tag and my old one deactivated with a super quick turnaround thanks to a friend now managing it all at work and they had a shift to cover over at my site so basically all it took was 4 hours for me to get a new ID Tag, this time with my photo and name on it and no cost to pay, yay!
winning 👍
Oh I will be tomorrow, wonder I should to get to work tomorrow by 7:30.
The work I need to do will probably take an hour or so.
Back in melbs. Silly bus replacement. Wasn’t as bad as expected but yea, 4 and a bit hours :(
I guess one good thing is there are far fewer people.
One thing that perplexes me is to get from geelong to wyndham vale station and vice versa by road, you have to meander through a shitload of back streets. Poorly thought out.
This time was paying very close attention to the synthetic lawns. EVERYWHERE! I’m really not sure why people do that (sorry to anyone here who has one). Just put some rocks down, few bigger feature rocks, maybe some cacti. Wouldn’t be any more work, cheap as but would look a shitload nicer.
We need an update on your furry room mate please.
The furry friend lived to another day. However (!), the bottle was put outside apparently last night and the peanut butter was gone the next day.
There is something out there. I want to believe.
I’ve seen synthetic lawns all around here too
as someone who had wood tiles on a terrace and a neighbour who had fake lawn , don’t do it
it will collect dust and soil and plant particles and seeds brought in on the wind and when it rains it will turn to mud and sprout weeds
also, I second the call for furry room mate update 🙂
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

WHY ARE WE SCREAMING
**
That’s more like it
is that a good or bad aaaahhhh?
Right now, bad.
Too much on the plate, slowly eating away.
Hard to believe it’ll be 30 this weekend…
I’m sorry. what?!
I hope the Easter eggs survive
Considering Easter is the following weekend, I would hope so.
Last chance to clean coats, pillows, blankets, doonas etc. before winter sets in. I’m aiming to do a search & destroy cleaning this weekend ready for Easter. Plus gardening if I still have the energy.
I’d be doing all of that if I had an outdoor drying space or an outdoor space at all. Might use the opportunity to instead do a cleanout of my languishing dried goods. Some ancient black lentils, red rice, other odds and ends that all need to be used up. I’m feeling ready to let go of a lot in the lead up to finishing this degree and moving out.
I’m OK with one final round of warmth, adjusting to the sudden cold with the early darkness at the same time has been a bit tough.
I dunno, the darkness is a bit of a sudden change but at this point I’m ready to go all in, warmth this late is confusing
I was lucky, someone came today and the vet was able to squeeze Melbcat in during that time. Waiting on another culture and she’s getting some extra tlc.
Laksa. Thick or thin noodle?
Thing egg noodles for me
Clarify that again for me please.
thick
Hedge your bets chuck both in and confuse everyone.
I prefer thick.
You win. Thick it is.
There’s a cafe I have been coming to every tuesday morning for months. I dont think I’ve ever seen the same staff more than a few weeks running.
Bit of a red flag that.
I mean, it’s an excellent cafe. The back of house staff are all the same. I’ve also done some digging, and as I suspected, the owners have a bunch of cafes around Melbourne - I think they probably share/rotate staff
Sky greyscale.
Does anyone know how to change the setting back to full colour?
Gathering ingredients for primordial soup
Finally caved and put the doona on the bed. I’ve been holding out, alas.
The sun is shiiiiiiiining, so went downstairs and just stood in it for 5 minutes, felt absolutely lovely.
Have developed a crave for food the house contains no ingredients for. Guess I shall put on pants today after all.

Absolute shoutout to cat 1 for starting a punch on with cat 2 and waking up the toddler at 5am. Cats just subscribed to “alarm clock” for the next week where if I find him asleep I shout “it’s 5 am and I wanna plaaaaaaaaay” whilst gently shaking him awake. He freaking hates it. But he learns his lesson: being woken up sucks!
Fish curry made! Not the world’s best pic but definitely a better outcome than the dal makhani disappointment. I’m almost done using my very old fish curry powder. One more round in the next couple of months and I’ll be done.
Eggplant, green beans, tomato paste, tamarind paste, coconut milk, coriander leaves and all the other usual things 😋
bathroom sink is fixed, can now set up bathroom
and have a bath ( i’ve been having showers )
and a pedi
do my hair and brows
and generally look after myself better 🙂 yay
I love how the news re the sharemarket has gone from ‘bloodbath’ yesterday to ‘don’t panic’ today
I got the new work laptop. This one is brand new and it’s interesting how Dell has gone back to having normal ports again. The old laptop only has 3 USB-C ports, an SD card slot (full size) and a headphone jack. The new laptop has USB-A ports and a HDMI port, and a micro SD card slot.
Went to bed relatively early, was awake around 530 (should have gotten up) but fell back asleep.
Cue the super deep sleep with some funky vivid dreams and my alarm jolting me awake at 7.
3/10 experience
So instead of the other essential house chores (which I had barely any energy for already) I’ve now done two washes of one load of dishes complete with repetitively lifting a heavy jug, a complete clean and troubleshoot including moving the heavy machine. And am now trying a third wash (for science) that I will still have to manually rinse - or potentially completely hand wash and rinse to actually get clean. I’m going to be in pain and not able to do anything tomorrow. So fucking pissed I can’t even leave a bad review because they’re no longer being sold on that site. ___

So I was the pied piper on the weekend and took a troop of kids to see the Minecraft Movie. It was an experience.
The movie itself was pretty typical middle-aged kids’ fare. Fairly awful dialogue and cliched characters. Jason Moama was a surprise, I thought Jack Black was the only famous star in it. I have a feeling that in the right role, Jason would have some wonderful comedy chops. This movie was not it. Stiffler’s Mum was funny, but all I could see was Stiffler’s Mum. I think the two female leads were great and a good foil for the Jack Black/Jason Moama antics. Pity the girls didn’t really have a lot to do in the plot.
If I’d been watching it on Blu Ray or streaming, I might have turned it off. As a movie, it’s not great. However, watching it in a cinema on opening weekend in a room full of kids really made it wonderful. They were cheering at obvious fan-service references that I didn’t get. Screaming out at “Chucky Chicken!” and I can’t remember other bits. But you get the idea. The energy in the room was great.
So while I didn’t particularly love the movie, I loved the experience of watching it.

I loved seeing Uncharted at the movies, the audience had a great time and their joy was infectious. It was a fun movie for fans and I enjoyed it too. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. 🙂

I hated the Uncharted movie but probably because I have the background of playing all the games.
The casting of it was so badly wrong, Tom Holland was the wrong choice and the way the movie went didn’t appeal to me as it was a mishmash of the 4 Uncharted Games.
