  • Calling it an early night here. I'm going to try and switch back to Melbourne time as much as I can. Didn't get any work done today and started noticing my historic irritations with my mum creeping in as she's getting better, don't need that polluting my mindspace and going back to teenage memories, so an early retreat and an early start tomorrow where I can focus on what I need to get done for the life I have back home.

  • This cold is kicking my ass 💀 I'm so tired

    The cat was curled up inside my oodie on the couch, and I just said to my partner "don't sit there, Mickey is under there". As soon as I said that, Mickey was all "ma-eo", promptly exited said oodie.

    The apes cannot be right in this household, only the feline is correct - Mickey, probably

  • Hmm, contents insurance is due and the premium is up 20%. Ran it through their online calculator for the same details and it's only up 10%. Absolutely shameless.

    Annoyingly my policy expires 4 days before my planned moving date.

  • Man, I'm so exhausted after a 3 hour cooking marathon (not including half an hour of popping over to the shops) plus another hour of cleaning up. But I think we are good for food now for the next 3-4 days. Taken me a while to recover but now I feel ready to at least start writing some work to-do stuff down... If I'm lucky I'll get some things done today.

  • walked home along the beach

    the colours were so beautiful

    I love the rocks under the waves at high tide, this is where I usually go for walks

    • I love this beach life for you SO much. Thank you for sharing it!

      • I’m in the landlocked northern suburbs and am loving the beach pics, too

      • thanks, I'm just 200m to sand and water, it's nice , very accessible

        I go at night too, to see the lights around the bay , the ships are all lit up and I can see more than a few stars

  • another box unpacked

    some pot plants moved,

    more furniture cleaning

    and I found my driving lesson book , yay 🙂 now to study some more

  • Hot cross buns are fine but my fav Easter treat is the Greek almond crescent shortbreads. So good with a cuppa.

  • I have finally finished my sofa. I finished the cushions a while ago (although it took a long time, all those long edges take forever to sew) and today did the webbing to replace the springs. It took quite a long time and used a lot of staples. Sitting on the couch properly instead of sunken in with the old squashed cushions and stretched springs should be good for my back.

    I expected Miss Meow to get freaked out by the noise of the staple gun but it didn't seem to bother her. She even came over and walked all over the webbing midway. Now that it is finished she has indulged in some zoomies, attacked the end of a roll of tape I haven't yet put away, and is now holding on to a small piece of tape she just captured with a dramatic pounce. Who would have thought she was into upholstery?

  • I have to cook dinner and lunch prep, but Cyclethon is so close to ending that I can't look away!

  • Doing some work on a Sunday (boo) - client issue came up just before the long weekend, which has been on my mind and needed the calm of a weekend day to work through it. Email prepped and ready to send out tomorrow morning. Now I can relax.

  • Final day of Cyclethon and Pokemon Community Day! Yay! I know I'll cry when they cross the finish line.

  • Packing continues today. I have "packed" my strawberries into new tubs, all divided up, topped up with soil and a new layer of mulch on top.

    I've got 5 or 6 more big rectangular tubs (the old recycling tubs, for those who remember the pre-wheelie days) and a bunch of pots to put other things into. It's the perfect time of year to be moving plants, which is why I chose now to move. I just need to find somewhere to move to...

  • Is this the first puffer jacket day ?? I do need to venture to the outside

    • Fashion advice : banana print oodie, striped pj pants and ugg boots. Just because you recognize the existence of the outside, that does not mean that you necessarily endorse it.

      • Good advice indeed. Unfortunately I have now showered and washed that tangle on my head (turns out there was hair in there) and so I shall pretend for a few hours to be a member of society (have my floppy comfy jeans on though)
