Melbourne

All done!

Didn't end up doing echiums and cherry blossom :(

And many thanks to my very helpful neighbour

Finally got settlement date on the new house. 23rd. And then 2 days later I'm going to Melbourne. I knew it would happen that week, lol.

I am all peopled out methinks.

4 years ago could easily have done it but now no go. 5 days in a row of lengthy small talk with so many people is just too much.

So today is just gonna be laying some dripper hose I'm absolutely happy with that.

Also the azelia made it through the night in the fridge. I was told categorically it wouldn't. They were wrong.

Is it ok to physically assault people who walk in squadron formation of 5 people across through shopping centres? I feel like there should be a legal loophole here.

Just rolled out of bed to find I have also left my split system on overnight at 18C 😱 RIP my energy bills.

Sore throat came back overnight. Not sure if it was the temperature or maybe the dust that keeps circulating around my apartment. When I get back from my short interstate trip I definitely will need to do a deep clean of the apt. Air purifier will be in by then too so maybe it'll help..

My homeburger

Homeburger has smokey bacon, burger patty, smokey cheese, fried egg, pineapple ring, tomato, lettuce, onion, tomato sauce, hot sauce and kewpie mayo on a brioche bun.

It was delicious therefore I give it 5/5 yum yums 😋

Standing in line at the Chemist, looking at the assorted fragrances for sale. It seems there are a lot more marketed at blokes than there used to be.

Thing is: I don't understand who wants to smell like an NRL/AFL/soccer/cricket player? The first thing I do after sport is shower and get rid of the smell.

I just walked out to the garage and the man's got a sensor light set up and I nearly fucking shit me self when it turned on.

Having a look at the cooker rally pages and communities to get an idea of how big the "No to the voice" rally today will be. I don't think it'll be big but it will still be very disruptive to trams along Bourke, Swanston, Flinders, Elizabeth. There are speeches planned under the clocks at Flinders St Station.

I wonder if they can stick to the main subject matter instead of pro Trump, anti wind farm, anti vaccine, anti 15 minute cities, anti UN and WEF, and more... They seem to be quite unhappy that there will be politicians that don't want them talking about the conspiracy stuff in the Sydney rally, too.

Sky pretty

I need to do better with groceries. I get lazy and forget to cook and sometimes need to throw some away cuz moldy 😒

The bag of two-year old Woolies seedlings that I found in my house have started to sprout! Soon will be time for potting

10pm is a terrible time to drunkenly decide to have Thai for dinner, FYI

How do people cope with getting over things?

I did something yesterday which was my fault and may have future repercussions if I can’t sort it out in a timely manner but I keep replaying the incident in my head and of course there’s going to be seeing the damage I caused too.

I don’t want it to haunt me constantly but this time the repercussions could come back to bite me as well and impact me though know how long that will take.

I hate that I can’t I don’t know, forgive my mistakes and move on with these things.

I have walked 1010 steps today. AMA. (I was planning on breaking my last weeks step count of 86k today, currently at 76k but I got lazy today 😔)

I think it might be a spring clean and day drink to some tunes afternoon. This depression den needs some attention if I want to even entertain trying to get my social shit together and meet someone.

Aircon install was finished today. I've now got 5 kw of RAW cooling power!

All these other biscuits are full of pea protein, lentils or beans, all of which give my cat stomach pain. Chickpeas are about tolerable but I can’t find that without the others.

It’s giving me the shits. I have a just opened bag and a full unopened bag of expensive food but because the factory made the pieces too hard it’s inedible.

Thank you everyone for your support today.

I’m sorry I didn’t respond to each one of you as I fell asleep listening to the radio and podcasts this afternoon.

They are all valid points and I’ll make an effort to take it all onboard.

I’m not great at reflecting on things as I’m so harsh on myself for mistakes made.

I guess the biggest thing on my mind is that I can’t rectify the problem. I’ll try in the coming months if I can.

Anyway I have to forgive myself first and that will be hard to come to terms with in the current situation as it may make my life harder in the future.

didn’t know how much I rely on the little stick-on round mirrors for parking until one of them fell off.

I just got home from dancing to fantastic power ballads.

A glass of prosecco and Janelle Monae tunes at home to kick on

Chilly start to the day. 3.3 out there, feels like 1.7. Mr Woof doesn't care, he has a thick fur coat and nothing seems to phase him, but I needed to add multiple layers this morning. 🥶

Anyone got a good camping equipment/supplies list...? Taking our camper out on its maiden trip tomorrow

Edit - we're going to powered sites. Is there any reason I can't take the air fryer.....?

Binged my way through s1 of Good Omens. That was delightful! I sadly can't see Jon Hamm as anyone other than Don Draper though...

Exercises completed. Took Miniest to the farmers market and soaked in the sunny vibe. Got a bit of laundry done and then we lit the brazier, threw the rack over it and BBQd some sausages. Watched the Elder play RDR2, a game I enjoy watching him play because the landscape is beautiful and it's like watching a movie (I really get into it, much to my sons amusement).

What a boodyful day. It never gets old the way Ms GPS pronounces Geelong Road as G-long road.

To prevent nippocalype, I have replenished the cow milk stock which I depleted last night.

The earwigs have already gotten to the mint :/

Saganaki with lemon juice and jam.

Is. A. Vibe. 🤤
