Today at the beach I found an ankylosaurus.

I also took a nice pic of a fisherman's pier.

Lovely ankylosaurus. Thagomizer complete or nearly too. One of my neighbours has a similar stegosaurus in their front garden. It moves around from time to time eating the plants.
RIP Thag Simmons

It's now the official term for a tail end 'ornament' on a dinosaur.
Be careful, you might need a permit to take the wildlife home /j
Trekked over to the State Rose Garden, so lovely at this time of year!!
Shit! Came home from shopping to a house reeking of gas. Cats fine. That was way too close.
Holy shit. Glad you're ok. Were the cats cooking something or just trying to kill you outright?
Oh shit! What happened?
Didn't turn the stove off properly? And it's old enough to not have the magic valve
Damn. Iβm glad itβs all ok. Thatβs quite scary
I can has Steam Train!! π
A Steam Train went past my house , stopped at the historic station for a minute then went on. I was caught by surprise and it went so quick I didn't get pics. π
Nek time. All the steam trains will be coming through here because of the line diversions. π
Don't wanna flex too hard but a mini steam powered thomas the tank engine goes by my place every w/e in summer. Always booked out lol.

I've seen this in a newsletter I get for kids' activities. We'll make the trip down there one day
Is it the vicks inhaler or a Christmas miracle because for the last few days I felt like I'd been punched in the nose but not today?
Massive day of gardening and using power tools.
Old mate neighbour was proper annoyed.
Did I need to use the chainsaw?
Not at all.
Did I use it excessively?
Most definitely.
Vietnamese for dinner and now proper buzzed.
Bless you all
Idiot neighbour been playing mindless doof since 7am.
Come 10am they'll discover how extensive and insane my mp3 and speaker system is.
lurks in grass
Gonna need the first choon you played to counter the mindless doof.
What kinda speakers you have?
Looked at the jungle that is the garden the other day and thought I can sort that in a couple of hours, no worries. After gardening all morning, turns out I couldnβt, so back to it tomorrow. Work has been pissing me off lately, so I guess itβs a good way to burn off the irritation
Wish Iβd taken befores & afters to show off my work, though
Monday and Tuesday are over 25 degrees. Maybe I shall go beach on a random Tuesday when I am done with these assignments hanging over my head. This is probably the last time in my life I will be able to do something like until retirement, so I shall cherish it.
I'm scared to start working full-time in a "real" job and I haven't even started yet. I don't want to do busywork that's ultimately meaningless. But everything has a purpose in some way.
Don't over think it. Enjoy the days. π
Got two hours of sleep and picked up a second start shift today. I accidentally woke up when I was meant to start. Oops. Eating and then going back.
I reckon I might get a Xmas tree this year for Fluffball to jump all over.
No tinsel unless you want a festive litter box and expensive abdominal surgery
Thanks for the heads up! I've never had a Xmas tree before so I would have gone all out lol
This is for Gibson, you should definitely go all out. At least two rolls of toilet paper wrapped around the tree, and another to make a nest at the base of the tree. And all presents under the tree should be appropriately sized open boxes for sitting in.
I've screen shouted this comment to remind me when I go shopping next lol
Can I suggest a toilet paper tower in the shape of a tree with catnip hiding in one of the tubes?
Yeah, it's not at all pet safe (and I consider it an environmental crime, but that's a different bucket)
Sky pretty.
I love how Melbcat is such a people person. A visitor comes and if itβs someone familiar she gets into their lap for a cuddle. Best girl
Good night everyone, sweet dreams π
Question for the cooks out there on thread: is it possible to make a turkish soup with absolutely no garlic in it? Or other spices? My lovely next door neighbour heard I was a bit under the weather and brought round a whole of pot of it. I love her dearly but dat soup was not turkish. She did do a good job with the flatbread though.
I actually managed to get a ticket to Opeth last night. It had been sold out for weeks but I opened ticketek and there one was.
I had been feeling super bummed recently because Metallica and Blood Incantation played the same night a few weeks ago and I couldn't get a ticket to either. This was just what I needed
Gym and shopping complete.
Nap has been had.
Let the snacks and guitar begin!
Hello humidity! My house is so cold, did not expect that stepping outside.
One of my legs hurts more than usualβ¦ I better not have done something to my stupid bones or Iβm removing them
been awake since 3 , argh
Going to kryal Castle tomorrow for a renaissance fair. Should be interesting.
Time for switch games.
Goodnight all β€οΈ
