Melbourne

They worked!

Nice to have a friend when I'm unwell ❤️

Edit: she's worked her fluffy tummy magic and I'm feeling better :)

As soon as the shops open I'm going to go and buy me a big pack of tortellini, cook all four serves of that bad boy up, and eat it all

I think I’m angry right now.

Why do I always have to be the one to compromise on things when I’ve done everything correctly and on time.

Also fuck being connected to work even on a weekend.

Aiming to get the housework done today so I can relax for the next 2 days, and it’s a struggle getting motivated to start.

Have gone to pub for lunch with OH. That’ll help, won’t it?

Never ended up taking that nap, just been idly existing all day.

Been playing Brotato as well, that's all I've done. Tomorrow I will catch up on the recording for the theory classes I missed when I was doing first aid.

I had a really nice chat with my classmates on Thursday and Friday, and one in particular we both just wandered around campus at lunch talking. Old me would have balked at being so social and open, but I'm so glad to be who I am now that I find great happiness in talking to others who I don't know well.

Edit: istg if that squeaking starts up again tonight I'm gonna throw everything off my balcony into the alley. I hate that I couldn't figure out what it was, and it stopped when the wind died down. Fucker.

Decisions, decisions…

Run to the hills… or

Head to the ocean…

Hills be easier and my one of my favourite brunches be that way. Hills it is.

Migraine :(

Kitchen, clothes, lounge done, bins done. And I did a lecture for a course I'm doing. And spag Bol just started. Need to do another pass over the floors but I am WFH tomorrow so might call it a day.

Currently looking for mango recipes that aren't jam.. was going to make chutney but have found myself mysteriously lacking in ingredients for it 😒Too lazy to go out and get stuff. Might just freeze it until I get some vinegar and spices tomorrow. Got my heart set on chutney to go with chicken curry.

Good night everyone. Nice day for a sleep in. 😘

Weeds :(

In the drive for a hands off summer we're now on the 16th consecutive weekly full green bin. Shit just isn't settling down.

I need two weekly green bins and a lot more mulch otherwise I'm just not able to keep on top of it.

Glorious day, crisper drawer stew with chicken wings in the slow cooker for tonight and tomorrow's lunch, glass of cold white whine in hand, laundry all done including household linens, nice music on the music machine. Nowt to do but eat, drink and be merry. Life is good.

windz howling

fuck yeah vietnamese coffee

I admit I am quite nervous about the US election.

… Know it sounds funny

But I just can't stand the pain

Girl, I'm leaving you tomorrow

Seems to me, girl

You know I've done all I can

You see, I begged, stole, and I borrowed, yeah, ooh

Someone brought home cannoli !💃🪩🕺

24.7 degrees? What sort of stupid temperature is that for 4am? Someone clearly forgot to turn down the thermostat overnight.

It's stupidly windy and random things keep creaking and banging. Mr Woof was a bit alarmed by a plant pot that was walking itself down the street.

I swear to God I spoil Chook rotten. Many new toys

stuff is happening 🙂

and yesterday I took Bill for a walk in the cat stroller. He meowed a bit, he will get used to it.

Migraine eased up. Feel like crap, but the headache is gone at least. Went for a walk and that oddly wiped me out.

Better than before at least :)

Shitty day yesterday. slow start but now I am here. Kitchen looks like a bomb hit it and bits dumped everywhere (geez I can wreck a joint when black dog gets me for a couple of days).

But sun is out and mood is up. Gonna wander to the local for coffee and toastie then back for a clean up.

I am working mon/Tues so this can be my long weekend treat.

Coldplay tonight, resting my feet today

chores can wait

I watched The World's End. Ummm surprisingly I liked it. I didn't understand it but I still liked it. It's the closest I'm gonna get to nerd. I'm still dazed and unpacking.

We went to the Kaiga Convention today. It's like a dedicated artists alley you get at other conventions. It was good if that's more your thing, and there's a similar market in December.

The weirdest thing is it was at the Crown Convention Centre, the only time I've been there is for a boring B2B conference. It was jarring setting the same room for corporate shit filled with anime artists

quiz

20/50 - missed a couple of easies (or shoulda been easies)

Finally got round to watching evangelion 3+1 last night. Terrible. But as far as all the batshit endings evangelion ever got it wasn’t the worst.

But still, about 20 minutes of Eva shit in the whole movie.

Wind woke me up, something on the clothes horse outside is squeaking. The cat has also been meowing incessantly.

Ugh no Sunday sleep-in for me, wtf.

I am reading "Painting watercolours from photographs".

Movie Review.

How is it it can take me many many watches to actually get all a plot?

Ben Hur. 1959. This movie is long and spectacular. You can see it's made with a lot of care to costuming and sets. Many of the scenes look familiar because they have been copied so much since but this movie did it first and best. The dialogue is also so good.

I would say this movie was made with love and respect for the subject

four hobbits. I think I will buy a book about this movie.

Honest Thief. Cute love/action/cop movie with Liam Neeson.

four hobbits because i have a soft spot for guys in love
