Melbourne

The clouds are floating along the horizon, just above the CBD, lit up by light pollution and travelling quite quickly, like some sort of weird cloud migration. I wonder where they will end up.

You'll never guess how that tear in the fly screen happened...

Hi all. Currently writing this from a heated toilet seat in a hostel in Kyoto (don’t judge please). Tour has been jam-packed but also quite a bit of downtime. All I’ve done today is arrive in Kyoto, get some matcha and sit on this toilet seat and I feel bad about that. Don’t know what to do for the rest of the afternoon so might get some ramen and then go for our walking tour. I feel kinda bad that I haven’t really done much or what I would’ve liked to do. Didn’t go to Tokyo Tower, haven’t looked around temples and shrines here yet, avoided Nishiki market because it is way too crowded, have had some shit food experiences (got dragged to a place that had gyoza but they were mid). The girls in the group are shopping at the moment and I’ve already done too much of that. Could’ve been a cool bonding experience but oh well.

Ok now for some good parts. The tour guide is awesome and kind of cute haha, have seen some cool shrines and temples, had cheap sushi, played some games with my fellow tour mates. Saw the shinkansens (is that the correct plural?) fly by.

I think I’ll go for some ramen now that’s nearby so I’m not hangry before we do another tour activity. Everyone wants to eat later but I think I might just have an early dinner. We have to leave at 6 tomorrow to go somewhere, so that’s that.

I just need to keep telling myself that I’m doing enough until I believe it!

Also I wonder if other hostels are like this around the world. This is a wonderful wooden box I’m sleeping in and everything is so clean.

good night everyone , sweet dreams 😘

Omg. Just realised YL got her her ears pieced. 2 in each ear. Pretty big deal for me cos Arabs get their daughters done at 6 months and I was like no fucking way I'm doing that to her considering I cried everytime she had injections. Wow. Spinning out.

Ps. I always thought it was her choice not mine.

Digg public beta is live if anyone is interested. There is already a Melbourne community created.

Home again. 😊. Here with youse guys.

got heaps of beads so I can do some super easy relaxing handcraft this weekend

Fuck me that's a relief.

Ol' girl and boy left some snail poison (metaldehyde) out, blew over shit fell out and the resident magpie had a go at it apparently. I was livid.

Hadn't seen it for 2 days, but it just rocked up looking pretty worse for wear still kicking though and eating. Poor thing took a hit but seems okay.

Been feeding this thing for 20+ years and would be devastated if that's how it went out.

Phew (for now I hope).

A client asked me earlier if I would be working over the weekend. I almost laughed on the phone.

It’s been a shit week. Cheers 🍺

I am having a lovely morning. Slept in, finished my latest Kdrama while still in bed, had a shower and didn't get dressed for an hour, had salty eggs on toast. Gym lined up for this afternoon when Boyo's up for it, then it'll likely be a crafty/puzzling sort of evening!

Had a bit of an awkward moment yesterday when I was helping someone with their computer. I realised the most recent document in their downloads was a position description and I also saw their resume pretty high up in the list.

If I can get a more private moment with her soon I'll let her know it's alright and her secret is safe with me

cup of green jasmine tea and some pita with hummus for lunch

but feeling tired and headachy, it's coffee withdrawals

I know this sounds very fuckwit adjacent, but I decided to go veggo after what happened the other day with the cat.

I don't know why exactly tbh. I went to buy the usual chicken breast the other night from the supey, and I had a mild existential crisis.

I'm sort of annoyed, because I feel like absolute shit physically, but it's like a mental block.

It is what it is for the moment I guess.
