The discourse around the Israel-Palestine thing has reached a very specific nadir.
I got harangued by strangers while I was out because my mobility scooter is an Israeli brand.
I get it. I do. But there aren’t that many alternatives for mobility aids that actually do what I need them to do. Please do not shout at me for using the scooter I’ve owned for ten years.

I’m not getting involved in the Israel / Palestine conflict discussion but randoms having a go at you for the brand of your scooter is taking it too far and you shouldn’t have to deal with that at all.
What the fuck is wrong with people. Please, please next time run them over or beat them with your sticks.
so many hugs
These people are not following the teachings of the most famous and influential Palestinian in history.
That is appalling. Sorry you had to deal with that. I can’t even imagine the thought process.
I had one of those “I’ve lived too many lives in this place” moments saturdau night when I was out.
It’s like dejavu but lasts longer.
So having to start early, I’m grateful my anti-sads regulate my circadian rhythm and get me up at 5am.
I was practicing lifting 15kg boxes yesterday, filled a box with some big books lol. Not as heavy as I thought it would be, so I hope I do well today 😅
FROM THE KNEES! 🙃
You’ll kill it I’m sure :)
Bend ze knees!

O’ Might and Illustrious Chef! A large coffee and a banana would be superb this fine, cool morning, please :3
A large banana and a coffee, please.
I failed weigh in today. Up 1kg. Could’ve been the custard tart…the party pies…the ice cream…the half a bag of peanut puffs…the bacon fettuccine…I will do better this week.
I’ve been travelling and haven’t been game to get on the scales since I got back on the weekend! Gonna give it another day or two back on the wagon first. You got this 💪🏻
👍
It was probably water! Treats are worth it, just in moderation nudges away her list of treats
Nah. It was the shit I ate. Lol.
Weighing up whether a $9-12k medical tourism trip to China would be worth it. A week and a bit of intensive multi-disciplinary workup that would take years of waiting in Australia. It doesn’t sound too bad, actually. The hardest bit is getting the initial appointment.
How about Thailand or India?
That’s actually a great point. I need to research further. But leaning towards doing the thing no matter where it is.
I like the Nonna branding. Vodka Nonna has opinions and probably a hefty rolling pin
Boyo can haz new job. This seems almost too easy. 🙀
Good for him. 👍👍
I am cranky and unmotivated today -_- I don’t like feeling like this.
Samsies. I had a quiet weekend but feel like I as on the drugs.
Have to pull out all the watering drip lines for the garden I did a while back because the fence fell down.
Then put it back.
Can’t put it back until a nu fence is built… neighbour is already difficult.
Right before a 1/1000 El Niño…
🙃
I refreshed a garden bed and put in a few new plants this winter. Mostly natives, hopefully they have had enough time to develop roots before the El Niño hits. I am expecting casualties though.
Rent a large dog
I am in Keith right now. Nothing weird about that, it’s a normal place to be. It’s just in South Australia and everyone else I know is in Keith too
New airfryer beats old toaster oven for Shepard’s pie. Nice crust.
Busy day today. 🤞
had to get the oodie out again 🥶
Today I have to wear a coat. 🤪Yesterday I wore a tshirt
This time of year is annoying with having to carry all the layers around! 27 predicted for a Thursday, I’m looking forward to it.
Book Review.
Babylon Berlin by Volker Kutscher
book 1 of a running story about Berlin society at the time of rising Nazi power
Well written and interesting
5 hobbits
I have now started book 2 , The Silent Death.
I think when I have finished reading I will read it again because there is so much going on it’s easy to miss things.
This is a super intriguing series. There’s also a TV adaptation with a banging soundtrack
the tv series is just amazing , love it so much

Ooo I’m stuffed, but not exhaustipated. Mostly weighing and packing frozen food, and chipping in in production where needed. I like finishing at 2.30-3.00pm, I can still enjoy the arvo and I don’t feel shitty about being on the phones because I didn’t even see a single phone today looool just three of us weighing and packing for our lives
Also no regrets about the boots, especially with the “tradie” socks I bought, super comfy, barely an inconvenience.
Did get a lil sus when my pack room supervisor said it was a trial shift. I think she was mistaken, as far as my contract is concerned, I am an employed casual lol

Get yourself some bamboo tradie boot socks next time you get some. Your feet will love you for it

Ohhh good idea! I’ll note that down for things to charge my job provider for 😂

Yay! Just watch your dates. Boyo got culled 3 days before the required to switch from casual to perm.
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Oooof brütal 💀 that’s so farked!
And yes I will! I’ve been reading up on my rights as a casual, I’ve never been casual before so I need to know ofc. I suspect I’ll be alright, my coworker has there almost a decade, but I’ll definitely be wary of that thank you! 💜
Also I’m glad your boy got a new job! Give him my congrats!
