Went for a random drive in this awful weather (which I quietly love) with no destination and found myself stopping into bingo. I've missed the first 2 sessions but there are still 2 remaining so LESSGOOOOO

They call me the big baller bingo caller. They call me big mack daddy dabber. They call me Nanna's Bane, ender of the elderly.

Hey look, fire.

Now it's like you've been to the festival! Plus imagine yourself lining up for a $25 pulled pork or beef roll.

Wow the music down at the Firelight festival is louder than any music I've ever heard from any event and that includes NYE celebrations. Usually the music barely registers with me but it's proper loud. Yelling get out of my yard from the balcony has proven unsuccessful. Stupid festival. Might go down there soon and just coz though.

Agreed. It sparked the vigilante in me and a lot of others in there.

I'm set up with my laptop in the customer lounge of the Subaru service centre while my car gets its first service. They're using the "Public Transport" heater setting so it's a billion degrees in here. Otherwise it's actually not too bad.. there are free drinks, snacks and WiFi!

I feel like a burrito but that means jumping into peak hour Westgate traffic. Google says 27 minutes to get to Altona North.

In the same breath, sitting in my car and having it auto-follow traffic with the adaptive cruise control isn't the worst thing in the world.

Oh I forgot to mention something from the kiddos music students performance thingo on the weekend which I noticed. 95-05 era fashion is BACK!! The kids looked like they were transported directly from my youth. Baggy/grungy looks are in, which pleases me as it was the most comfortable time to look cool.

Beef schnitzel, gravy, chips & veg

I cooked one of those pre-made Salami pizzas from Coles which come in vacuum sealed plastic. It was pretty shit but I'm glad I sated my curiosity.

Tonight I'm a'gonna make the linguine meataball!

I makea the sauce early so theresa time to marinade the meataball 🤌🤌🤌

Pan fried gnocchi tossed with roasted pumpkin & sage in a brown butter & lemon sauce. Topped with pine nuts, crispy sage & parmesan.

The lemon sauce was an interesting choice. At first I thought I hated it but it grew on me a bit.
