I’ve been pescatarian for many years but something about Good Friday messaging just makes the contrarian and the atheist in me want a steak. I’m going with tofu, but I did think about it.

Role modelling normalises stuff. Like how seeing their parents read for leisure makes kids more likely to do the same.

I’ve had my car 18 months and I don’t fill up that often, maybe once every three or four weeks. I have to check which side every single time. It’s getting annoying.

I’ve thrown a veg/lentil curry in the slow cooker in the morning on low, gone to work, and come home 8 or 9 hours later and it’s fine. Veg doesn’t need that long but it doesn’t seem to do much harm.

I did not know that the Geelong theme song had a second verse.

Ew. I like the pine pellets, they turn into sawdust when they get wet and absorb smells well. Bit noisy but that’s ok.

Time for a cat. Is Butters available for a ratting consultation?

I used to work around there, but a few years ago. If a tram ride or longer walk is an option then Banff on Fitzroy St is great- cheap and cheerful pizza and pasta.
There are cafes immediately around the Alfred but I’ve got no idea what’s there now.

Good luck!

I went with picking up the biggest bits, then using a couple of containers from the recycling to scoop the worst of it. Then a few layers of paper towel and a gentle action on the worst bit, swept around the least jammy bits, and mopped. I’ll go back and vaccuum presently.
I don’t recommend giving it a go.

May the whole DT find a really nice empty jam jar today. For this jar was unopened and full of quite nice strawberry jam.
I’ll have to do a second round of cleaning later, just in case. I’m not convinced I’ve got it all.

A suicidal jam jar leapt out of the pantry to its doom on the tiles. Red sticky jammy glass everywhere. Great fun to clean up.

Apparently I had a deprived childhood. I have never made or worn an Easter bonnet or hat. I thought it was an odd new thing, but friends of the same vintage and similar geography tell me this had been happening for many decades, I’ve just somehow completely missed it. Huh.

The Darebin Rd one? That’s annoying if they close it, I like it much better than the new Preston one which is a big pain to get in and out of, even though it’s closer to me.

I paid attention this morning and realised I do right first, not left. Sorry DT, I lied too.

I went even though I really wasn’t feeling it this morning. Now I can sit back with a pot of tea and feel virtuous all morning.

Usually left I think. I’m right-handed.
If they’re shoes with laces, I have an annoying-to-me habit of tying the first in a double knot, then the second one in just a bow. I don’t mean to. It’s annoying when I’m untying them.

I pop an audio book on low volume with a timer. Usually something I’ve read before. It’s enough to distract my brain but not too stimulating and no light. I usually drop off fairly quickly.

I’ve just done psychometric testing for the first time, for a potential job. This seems like a really dumb way to select candidates.

Maybe the real dummy is the one storing plasticine biscuits in the lunchroom though? Just why??
