drove to a dark scary road for aurora viewing




Doing a donation of items to the shelter I got Toby from this weekend. I prefer to donate physical items, so reached out to them to see what they needed. Have got some rabbit food, kong toys to stuff and freeze, cooling mats, will go out tomorrow and buy some blankets and basic training treats. Am preparing myself for the waterworks from myself.
so many hugs, this is normal, it means you loved
I mourned when my buddy Oscar Cat died and I still get very teary when I think of Allie
Well that was a disaster. I tried to heat up a container of purchased fried rice for din dins. Something in it had a hard shell, and esploded all over the microwave. Not on my bucket list for Thursday night - cleaning the microwave including picking rice out of the ventilation grids. The less said about the state of the turntable the better. I didn't know takeaway food containers could actually melt but this one did. Will not be purchasing from that outlet again. On the plus side - I now have a spotlessly clean microwave oven. And every reason to do something in the airfryer for dins.
not cool
Recommendations for covid cures solicited! Vaguely sensible things, not vinegar up yah clachah/s who am I kidding? Daft ideas go
Wish I could help, but I can't. So far I've missed having it. Sending get well soon vibes.
I seem to remember that icypoles/icecream apparently helps a bit with symptoms. Worth a try.
I'm on round 2 official, but probably 4. Pretty sure I spotted you at the thing, but piked on waving.
No probs - interesting crowd. Enjoyed a few convos with random strangers there. Loved the singing.
Chicken soup wonโt cure you but it sure will make you feel better. Panadol or nurofen will help with fever and aches.
I've had it twice. First time was very rough, solid 2 weeks of existing on the plane of pain.
Black lemon honey tea helps, if only to get sugar and water into you. Bread as it's a neutral inoffensive food. Lots of water, sleep whenever you can to jump forward in time.
Keep cosy and comfortable
A cat applied to the lap as a makeshift heat pack.
Then snacks.
You can kill it with chilli - not my idea
every time I think I've had it I've tested neg. I think it's was just bad testing
I found lots of sleep, vit d , and drinking water helped the best
Leaving earlier and finishing earlier is definitely the go. Way less people on the train both ways.
Have a great day everyone โค๏ธ
Since Nellie has decided to leave for a wifi-less locale, perhaps this specimen might be a new mascot

Chill day. Bit quiet because the guy I'm eventually taking over from has been under the pump.
BBQ after work tomorrow is pretty chill though.
Just wish I lived closer to work
One great thing about getting older is my memory seems to be going.... what's the positive you say? Well, tonight it means that I realised I totally forgot I love Spoon and that seeing them play this live and the whole crowd just going nuts is a pretty fucking good memory. Hardest Cut
I planned on washing the doona cover but someone has other plans. Do I kick him off?

All I've been doing these days is drinking tea and trying to get the uni shit done. Have made plans for next week to leave the house for reasons other than work so I have to get shit done faster. Let's see if this works. Spoiler: it won't.
Garden work is finally complete. I am going to celebrate with a shower and then veg on the sofa for the afternoon.
A lot of dirt was moved. Pigeons supervised, but refused to help
The back yard looks even more patchy than when I started, but should improve once the grass grows in.
I think if I top dress the grass again in Autumn I can fill in the lower spots a bit more, and the extra sand should help with drainage and hopefully I won't have the wet spots that hold water after rain.
Just cracked a Christmas ginger beer ๐
A bit late ain't ya? Christmas finished 10 months ago.
Last minit catch up with partners friends from Perth, they've just bought a house here.
Looking forward to the nearby house parties they're known to do ๐ค
Paaaaaakij
Have you seen the GabeCube announced by Valve today? Interesting things happening in the world of PC gaming right now
Iโm gonna go try and have a short walk to shock them bones. Hopefully there will be no unsavoury incidents
Good idea. :)
Hmmmโฆ the results of my bone density scans were not good.
Lately it just isnโt coming up Melbhouse
I have achieved pizza, to make up for a disappointing pakij experience - a power meter widget, very boring
so tired
early night again, good night everyone, sweet dreams, ๐
sleep driving me crazy ...lol
I am sleeping so well now there is no back pain and I can sleep in any position. Comfort now means comfort, not least pain.
but I wake up 5 hours later ๐๐๐
Have a nap.

Chef's choice today please. Come to think of it, wouldn't say no to some pork crackling on the side.
