sky pretty

Chooken is in the oven, I might relax tonight and do a jigsaw puzzle. I have a cool one of a map of Atlantis. 🤭

Big stawm in Bendigo, headed our way. Lots of lightning.

I'd just like to take this moment to state that out of all the words for various meals taken at certain times of the day, my favourite one is "lunch".

It just sounds so satisfying, easy, relaxing, warm, rewarding and nutritious. Something you could really get your teeth into.

"Dinner", on the other hand, has an unnecessarily fussy sound. It should be replaced with "supper".

Anyone ever had to fight an employer for unfair/constructive dismissal? Any tips/links/resources gratefully received

(not for me - for family member)

My eyelids were so itchy all day. Stayed inside. Have been eating low allergy stuff all week. Aargh. Is this just a hell hayfever season or what?

MOIST

Finally some actual rain! The garden rejoices.

I followed up my fritter fiesta with a big batch of overnight oats - breakfast for the next two days plus 6 serves in the freezer.

I have cleaned the pet's water fountain and done a couple of minor repairs. I am very pleased with today's progress.

new dishwasher day. Thank god. I didnt realize how much we relied on it. We're washing the big stuff by hand, but given limited drying space (and the fact that the dishwasher died with a full load of dirty dishes) it feels like we're never gonna catch up.

Butcher bird singing outside my window. They have such a lovely whistle tone. Noisy miners are not happy about it, the brave ones are attempting some screeching and swooping to dislodge the visitor, but from a safe distance so are not having much luck thus far. Suburban bird drama.

Whyyy do cafes insist on serving milk for tea in those useless milk "jugs" that don't have a pouring lip? They spill every time. Because they don't have a pouring lip and aren't designed to pour stuff.

Not the best weekend to go camping...so far just a minor leak, but I can't find where it's getting in...

Surely it's a good omen where despite unsurprisingly waking up late from sleeping at 2am in the morning, the tram arrives exactly as you're walking to your stop - so I'll only be 10 minutes late to get me carshare. And then! Let the driving begin!

How are coffee tables so expensive…. Hundreds of dollars. Even at fantastic furniture

Do I get up to go eat,
A toasty, midnight treat
A tasty, savoury treat?

But I'm so comfy;
It's kinda funny
How I'm too lazy
To feed my belly.

Awww yiss, babylon squared

My little back garden has turned into a bit of a nursery, and as a result, there are a few young children screaming about the independence that's being forced upon them. There's also quite a few looking a little wet and upset by the current downpour, so I have propped the table tarp up a little so they may shelter.
