In the interests of low cost weekend activities, my Minipeelers and I have decided;
-
to have our own festival,
-
to do craft about it, and
-
to call it "Craftmas."
It will involve liberal amounts of polymer clay and wool, and focus on making Xmas decorations and gifts (for those we would like to give something to, but either don't want to buy for or don't know what to buy). I'm really looking forward to it and am actually excited for this!

Hey guys.
I'm not going to start the thread at midnight anymore , or at least I might if I'm up but I just can't keep staying up for the thread. I'm a natural riser with the dawn and I want to stay up in the mornings, not go back to bed because I need the sleep.
You'll still all get good night kisses. 😘😘😘
Well mum's eye pressure is back up. When she fell it ruptured the back of her eye where she had an op (for glaucoma) a few years ago which is re-stitched. How they get to the back is beyond me. Her pressure was 2 when it's supposed to be 10-20.
With any luck it won't get worse (basically just before she went in she all of a sudden had a 'blob' in the middle of her vision).
I think this is a situation where the damage is done but not sure to what extent yet.
Brings into question cooking on the stovetop which will be a bit dangerous and golf (her main form of socialising).
Plan of attack is to get the food sitch down first. Can't eat solids too well (it's a long medical history) so I'll make a bunch of different soups that can be microwaved for dins. Brekky should be fine she just does yogurt w/ fruit blitzed.
Socialising will be a tough one but she has a good network of buds so we'll see what happens there.
It's going to be depressing for her so that'll have to be managed too.
It's scary how one fall and head strike can alter so many things so quickly.
Have you seen the drama in the other place?
Jane Agirtan has doxxed an r/melbourne redditor for pointing out there's an article detailing her past nasty racist bigoted behaviour.
Sky News article popped up as a suggested read on my phone for some reason:
"Hackers are targeting people who type these six words into their computer."
Wrong answers only - what are the six words?
the actual words
the words are: "Are Bengal cats legal in Australia?"
Edit: you guys should be comedians! I am cracking up.
Alright gang. I have managed to connect to the multi dimensional VPN. I can now download you TV shows or movies that dont exist in our reality from other dimensions. Hit me up with your favorite shows that almost existed or got cancelled early. Personally, i cant wait to watch season 2 of firefly. And maybe figure out where TF stargate universe and stargate atlantis were going with their next seasons.
Procrastinated a bit long on it but finally made an inquiry re: movers. Have one friend locked in to help with some big stuff on Thursday - was a bit touch and go as her own housing situation was looking precarious but thankfully she got the news today that she has some breathing space and she can take my plants (and any junk that I can't get rid of on FBM). Another friend is locked in to help me with the main move on Saturday.
If I can get the movers booked by end of tomorrow for next Monday, I'll be feeling very confident about being on track to clean everything up and hand back the keys next Wednesday. So glad that the moving site lets me add extra items up to 24hrs in advance, less stress about generating more heavy boxes than anticipated. I've got to keep reminding myself that I got this.
Okay! Time to use up this jar of banana blossoms for dinner... then wind down before a 7:30am start tomorrow
I used chatgpt to write an email, and the response I'm pretty sure was also from chatgpt.
The circle of life lol
Good Night everyone. Sweet dreams. 😘
Hmm, jerboa not working for me this morning so I'm using my browser. Seems to be a few server errors lately.
Edit: now it's working 🤷🏼♀️
Quick update on the Christmas saga. Mrs B spoke to my mother in law who was like "Of course we dont have to go to the extended family thing if you dont want to". And Mrs B now sees the light of how dumber idea it was in the first place. More than a little annoyed that it speaking to her mum rather than listening to her husband to see that, but whatever. Saves a fight, 1k and promises to be a more chill Christmas.
Back from one week holiday. Really enjoyed seeing another corner of our beautiful country, even if it is super expensive to travel locally. Highlight was visiting Whitehaven Beach, I've never seen ocean water so blue.
On the to-do list today is holiday laundry, grocery shopping as my fridge is empty, gym session and catching up on many work emails.
I should have everything to finish the work from home request now. At least today can count as one of my days in
Me: I need to wake up extra early tomorrow
My brain at 3:30am: hey, you're thirsty and need water, also you should get back on social media so you can apologise to your ex for being an idiot many months ago.
I thanked my mind and I fell back asleep an hour later 😴 after listening to a podcast called I Can't Sleep where the host read the Wikipedia page about ducks. Fun fact - most ducks don't say quack.
Time to attempt to take a nap.
Man I just don't have the vibe tonight for singing. I'm just like blerghhhh, I want to get this over with.
Sometimes its just like this. You do the practice anyway, even if it's mechanical.
Trying to lock down 2 new songs. Hopefully I can get this sorted by Thursday
Edit: I give up. Will try again tomorrow.
Today we have sardines and jalepenos in a spicy tomato sauce
New glasses have been obtained and are being worn. Everything is weird. The difference between my prescription and the "real world" is now so big I can't use these reading specs at all to look around the room
and lots of those aldi meal replacement sachets have been bought. I will have to take lacteeze but I do not care. Husband says he will eat them too , which is a huge relief.
Ok on some wise advice I have kept only the 4 plants I already potted up, and put the rest of the little Audrey II’s at a visible spot where people often leave hard rubbish.
Feels like abandoning them :( Maybe I should swing by occasionally over the next days with a water bottle and see if they’ve all been taken. I hope they don’t just get trashed
It's nice hearing birds in the morning again. :)
GIVE US YA GAFFA TAPE
'CAUSE WE DONT PLAY GUITARSFor some reason sew's 'oopsie' reminder pisses me off.
Especially when they didn't send the original fcking bill.
I forgot that I already ordered the extra potting mix. Barely remember doing it. I’m a dumbarse. I still have pots but they’re too deep and narrow for the round carrots and baby spinach I have.
Maybe I should get those mini pumpkin seeds as it’s planting time… but I don’t need an entire pack and that drives up the money spent on stakes which are a bit expensive and I don’t want to pay $25 in postage alone.
I also liked the thought of tomatoes but it’s too late unless I buy seedlings. Which I can’t get posted and also require stakes.
Maybe I can plant the spinach and let it get full sized.
Edit: Or natives for pollinators
