Off and away out of town again for the birthday of an old family friend. Not sure of the wisdom of being in Brisbane on the same day as the Lions in the final AND the Broncos playing a home semi in the NRL … At least I am getting really good at this travel malarkey again. I used to travel a lot in and job but I had gotten rusty.

Bon voyage 😸

The ballet has been watched the hot pot meal devoured. May have had a bit much spicy for my tum, but we’ll see! All round an excellent day and traffic was EXCELLENT. Getting and out of the city was just about the easiest run I’ve had!

Okay full confession: I forgot there was no speaking/singing in ballet. I remembered 20 seconds into the performance but I definitely had “ohhhh yeah” moment.

Where did you end up parking?
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
We went to Panda Hot Pot and there’s an RMIT/public parking garage right behind it, so just parked there. Super easy!!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
What did you see?
How was the orchestration and how was the choreography?
Was it a good show?

We saw Dracula! It was interesting! The music was a jukebox of classical pieces. The Brides, Dracula and the Wife were amazing, the Husband was great but a little wooden compared to the rest. Fantastic use of lighting and great set pieces. There was sadly less cape tossing than I was hoping for!
The crowd was amazing though, so many fantastic outfits.
At the hot pot place we saw a performance of face changing and it was so well done!

In 2016 I went to the Grand Final. My team was playing for the first time in the GF since I’d been alive but I wasn’t a member, basically impossible for general public to get a ticket. I saw a ticket advertised for sale at like 1pm on the day on a fan group on Facebook. It was about 20% more than the cost price. In hindsight, most people probably thought it was a fake but it was a physical ticket and paying in person, I thought that seemed safe. Got to my seat around midway through the first quarter, so missed all the pre-game stuff. But then my team won and it was just such an incredible atmosphere and great day. I won’t forget it.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
that sounds awesome
SituationCake@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Had a bit of unfun morning with headache and upset gut. Seems to have mostly resolved now which is nice. I’m planning to refresh a couple of pots around the deck with some punnets of flower seedlings. A load of washing or two and then a lazy afternoon.

Road trip day! And breaking out the glam tent. Hope it hasn’t gone funky since it’s last excursion.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Productive and relaxing day.
Grocery shopping and house cleaning done.
Quick nap, good Japanese restaurant for dinner
Few drinks, few puffs and the new Fantastic 4 movie at home with the family.
Seeing my wife and kids snuggled under blankets across the couches, fills me with immense joy.
Kids are almost adults but they’ll always be my babies.

So today I managed 11,522 steps and most of that was done while watching the TV. I was determined to not sit idle so I grabbed some small hand weights and did some of the step exercises from the routines I’ve done that I don’t mind. I basically did that on and off all day, whenever I was in the lounge room and while watching the Grand Final. My kids are used to me doing odd things so they didn’t think anything of it lol. Also I don’t really want to become a calorie counter but I’m starting to learn how much exercise it takes to burn the kilojoules and it makes me more conscious of whether I’ll have that lamington/licorice allsorts or not. My clothes are starting to fit differently and I’m really pumped for that!
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
This is awesome!! Get it girl!!
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago

Do you have a newer HDMI cable? If you do try that.
briongloid@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Turns out it doesn’t work on the laptop screen either, completely unavailable for Linux.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I swear to god with these regional cafes. I don’t think I’ve ever paid for an eggs Benedict where it was just served on regular white toast
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
They are anxious to be as trendy as the city.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Home from the beach, it was really lovely down there. A bit windy so I put my hair in a pony tail and it was warm in the sun.
Took a nice pic of the city, found some nice shells and saw a flock of small sea birds that I hadn’t seen before. As small as sparrows and so cute. I think they were Wood Sandpipers.
I’m not sure if you can see the birds in this photo, they really were very small. They are on the sand.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I see them!!
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Exciting game! All tied up at half time
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
It was so close for so long I suspect some Lions players may have bet on themselves

It’s been 3 days since the antibiotic shot and Melbcat is still sore :( I’ve given her medicine and cuddles which seem to have helped. The vet says to call back Monday if she’s not feeling better.
I’m still fighting urges to kidnap the black cat. I do think he’s possibly someone’s neglected free range pet though, as there was a parted line in his neck fur where a collar used to be and his fur wasn’t patchy or sparse (as happens when a cat is very malnourished).
I’m hoping that the weird protrusion I felt in his upper back that made me worry about his spine was a microchip. 🤞 I’ll be watching him and trying to get a better look over to see if he stays healthy or something indicates he does need help.

Flying Spaghetti Monster help me if he belongs to the crazy arsehole neighbour and I’m forced to intervene
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Happy football day to those that celebrate 🙏
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I shall partake in the celebrations with party pies, little boys and a beer or two.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Go sports!
SituationCake@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I don’t care what the occasion is, I’ll take a long weekend even it’s to celebrate underwater basket weaving. But good luck to those whose teams are playing today!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I’m up.
I’ve had my porridge with oat milk
generally I’m still trying foods to see if I can eat them
I’m good with home made food, I make my old recipes with adaptations and they often turn out just as delicious
but sadly much pre-made food is just no go, including chocolate
gummy sweets are still good but I should eat far less
Catfish@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
? There loads of no dairy choc available or is something else playing up?
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I haven’t looked for non dairy analogs specifically as yet
I’m just reading labels more and abstaining from the obvious
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
You’ve probably thought of this but I did a homebrew elimination diet to identify the worst offenders
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
blimey, I’m so tired today
