-2 here, feels like -6. I am staying in my nice warm bed until conditions are more civilised.

The predicted low is -2 here, it’ll be interesting if it’s much colder than that!
It’s a bedsocks kind of night.

Crossing everything for you!

I am grateful for salt, making life delicious. Some lovely sunshine, learning new things, and my bossy cat.

Good luck! You’ll be great 👍

I really relate to this. While I’m off work I’ve somehow turned into someone who goes to the gym everyday (I am so not a natural exerciser), and part of that is just the benefit of being around people. I’m only doing group classes so there’s a bit of a community feel. And I’m throwing myself into some existing volunteer stuff.
The cold weather is not helping.

I’m grateful for tulip season, and eggs and avo on toast for lunch.

Oh no! Good save.
I also stepped on a wet patch. It was cat vomit. I didn’t slip, so I guess that’s a win.

Probably ghosts. Definitely not cat mischief. Those cats were probably lucky to get away.

I’m grateful for an upcoming trip with a friend. Some yummy chocolate. And I’m lovely and warm in my new oodie, even if I am a good four years behind everyone else in getting one.

Well tomorrow looks delightful. 11C and pouring rain. Stay warm and dry out there.

Old explorers rock. Apparently the newer ones aren’t nearly as good. But I haven’t needed to replace my really old ones, so I don’t actually know 🤷

Possum or alpaca socks are my favourite. Super warm and last for years. They’re thick though so might not work for you. I think I bought my last lot from Creswick Woollen Mill.

Boo, sorry to hear it. Hopefully the next one is The One.

My amazing GP who was super thorough, as always, and then bulk-billed me after hearing my sob stories.
The cake shop next to the doctor. Mmm, pecan tart.

I went back to yoga after a short break with a cold, I feel all stretched out.
I have a cat on my lap and a cup of tea to drink. And I bought myself some flowers today to brighten the house.

Ouch. Vegemite helps ulcers if you have any, something about the b vitamins.

Nice work!

I bought a Tangle Teezer brush years and years ago and it’s been amazing, it’s effortless. I have their Original brush and it’s great wet or dry, but I see they have one specifically for detangling wet hair too.
There are generics that probably do much the same thing.

What a gorgeous pup.
I’m grateful that I don’t have to get up early on these cold mornings. And for warm socks. And the really delicious kiwifruit I had on my breakfast today, and the lovely afternoon sun that’s coming through now.
Also this fluffy boy, light of my life:

May you be visited by the Snack Fairy soon.

That sounds like a pretty good result, all things considered. As much as living in a hotel in the short-term isn’t ideal, it’s your own space & safe.
And not great that the kid’s now angry at you, but it sounds like you won’t have to see him again?
Hopefully everything stabilises quickly.

I had it about a month ago, and the pharmacist told me that it was a good idea to have another one in six months if I was at all high risk or needed to travel, and that some pharmacies were stricter but most aren’t.

Obviously Tony Armstrong. Talented, charismatic, seems to genuinely not be a dick.
But I would never actually vote.

Kingston are the best. Occasionally a Monte Carlo (a bit too sweet), and the rest can wither away in the biscuit jar.

Putting yourself out there is scary. Good on you for taking the plunge.

I would avoid smelly cleaning chemicals and bending over too much. But as a chronic migraine sufferer, productive slow pottering can be good.
