Melbourne

I told myself after yesteday that I wasn't going to lie around in bed all morning today, but what did I do - stay in bed until 12 on my phone despite how UTTERLY BEAUTIFUL it is outside.

Well alright. Can't change the past; getting a load of laundry in while having a late cuppa and cake; once it's out to dry I am going to walk to Fairfield (3.8km away) and back to get bulk wool wash and the tortillas I had been planning to make jackfruit tacos with.

Then home to do a whole bunch of cooking and an online catchup with an overseas friend.

I wonder if my lazing around so much on weekend mornings is due to the sheer amount of caffeine I have during the week. Brain needs to recover from all the adenosine receptors being flooded.

We watched some old episodes of Ready Steady Wiggle from 10 years ago and the new episodes are so much better. They're more cohesive and have better pacing.

There are 8 wiggles in the main lineup now, it makes me wonder if there's a US wiggles branch.

If not, Anthony should take the Trans-Siberian Orchestra approach and have two groups of the wiggles that just tour each coast up and down.

It would make more than enough to set everyone involved with the wiggles up for retirement

I inadvertently listened to most of MSO's performance Carmina Burrara yesterday live on ABC Classical while doing my taxes and was all "oh it's THAT doomsday song!" And then all of yesterday arvo and today it's been bugging me, where did I hear an English language parody of it, was it misheard lyrics, no it was simpler, was it an ad, what ad was it, what ad, was it the UK, was it here...

... and then it finally came to me out of nowhere this evening. I only knew it from Gruen as it aired before I moved to Australia, but the wave of nostalgia over LOTR and the excitement of videos on the internet came flooding back once I watched it and it sent me into a bit of a YouTube rabbit hole. Many of you probably know this one.

It's a big ad, ve-ry big ad...

Ehh… wonky sleep.

I put my knockoff oodie on ‘delicates’ but accidentally washed it on 30 degrees instead of cold. Oops. The fleece has popcorned very slightly but a quick brush with the knockoff tangle teezer when it’s dry should fluff it up again.

I also saw my hair is longer than I realised which explains things. I’ve gone back to using a drop of oil through the ends/lengths before washing and that helps a lot. I still haven’t had an opportunity for a cut

Ps: Annoyed about the egg limits/issues as I was going to pass a lot of egg recipes on. Being as they’re a cheap good source of protein, cheaper than meat
