Is anyone here old enough to remember those collectable cards with pictures of Australian native birds on them that you used to find in packets of tea?
Edit: they were in Tuckfields tea.

Early voting was a no Bueno.
Massive lineup, no parking and I other arrangements. Democracy shall be exercised tomorrow.
Pub grub dinner and drinks with extended family. Was good. Wife is emotional for good reasons and some sad ones.
My son hugged and lifted his favourite uncle (wife's cousin) . It was such a sweet moment. This cousin used to babysit my kids when they were babies.
Tooth brushing isn’t going well so far. Melbcat’s gums are inflamed and sore so she pulls away. I’ve ordered some oral gel that can be applied with swabs (their version of mouthwash) which should hopefully soothe the gingivitis down so I can go back to trying the brush.
The dental cleaning food and treats all contain chicken so I’m trying to give her pieces of freeze dried meat as treats instead of the ones that contain sugar. (Which is otherwise the only kind she can eat.)
Edit. I’ve let her taste the beef flavoured pet toothpaste from the brush and done a few token swipes at the right front fangs where the gums don’t seem sore. (Issues are at the back.) Hopefully I can do that sometimes to get her used to it while waiting for the gel
I need to clean but am not feeling great. It almost feels like it doesn’t matter too -_-
That time of the night again.
Time for another episode of Expedition 33.
This clip had a little bit of a cutscene in it.
