I popped up to Northland at about 2 because I needed a couple of things. I expected it to be dead as usual on a weekday arvo. It was total bedlam. I guess a combo of the sales and the heat, neither of which had really registered with me.
I survived, but I’ll be trying not to enter a shopping centre again between now and at least mid-Jan.

I have to confess that more than a year in, I haven’t really explored Lemmy at all, 99% of the time I just go straight to the DT.
Not that I have much to offer to a gardening convo. I attacked my garden with a hedge trimmer today and it looks like a cyclone’s been through.

I had to use MyCar for my last flat because they were the only place open between Christmas and New Year, and they were fine. Quick, efficient, friendly.

I’ve been in a similar place. Can you take some stress leave/sick leave? Ideally at least two weeks so that a) you can unwind properly and b) somebody else has to pick up the slack at work.
Do it now, not once project x is done or when we’ve met tgat bext deadline. New stuff will keep coming up.

It’s not worth it. It’ll just get dirty again. Have a cup of tea instead.

I haven’t achieved much today but I’ve turned black bananas into banana choc chip muffins and they’re delicious.

There’s some prime culture for you!

Australia is brimming with culture and meaning. It doesn’t have to be exotic or ancient to be ‘culture’.

I reckon it could be a good time to read more books and avoid the internet.

My cat’s heart isn’t working well and he doesn’t have a great prognosis, but he’s well and happy in himself and I’m focusing on that. We’ll be ok.
I’ve just ordered takeaway for the first time in yonks. Fried goodness is now on the way to me and in the meantime I’ve poured a glass of wine. I will enjoy it and not wallow.
And I’m putting my fingers in my ears and ignoring the news out of the US.

I use a council gym and it’s fab. Pretty cheap ($36/fortnight for the top membership which includes reformer pilates) and it’s pretty social too. With really lovely staff and a mandate from council around social inclusion and engagement and stuff. They run events, there’s a cafe, and it’s just a really nice vibe.
It’s not actually my closest council gym though, I travel (a whole ten minutes) to a neighbouring LGA for a shiny new facility.

The barometer’s dropping and my migraine’s rising. Storm probably incoming. Or rain anyway.

I’m trying to explain to the cat that he can’t have breakfast because the nice vet is going to give him medicine to go to sleep and do some special scans.
He’s just looking at me with his trusting little face, like ok that’s fine but can we have chicken now please? I did tell you I’m hungry?

I’d like the horsies to have their own party in a nice field where they can chill out with delicious grass. Maybe a sneaky horse cocktail.
