Melbourne

The trophy is for all our DT winners especially Spud and Minipeeler. 🫂

Found something online that I've been looking for. I've been watching ebay etc for about 2 years and it finally came up.

Fuuuuuuck. Yeeeeeesssssss

Found a cactus I got as a kid 30 yrs ago randomly in the old unused wood bbq. Never been fed / watered still kicking and looking ridiculous in that pot. Repotted it and that was always gonna hurt :( went straight through the gloves.

And anothery of the blossom (I'm obsessed by it I know). Nother week should be full tilt:

I purchased a little old nonna wheely trolley for my groceries today. I actually owned one ages ago but gave it away when I last moved...next minute...landed with no car and have been walking again for ages. My shoulders thank me.

My day was spent pottering, walking, rearranging pot plants and chatting on the phone. I really needed a day like that.

Found my keys. They went through the washing machine

Beeeeees:

Seem to be a bit less this year though so far.

6/8 assessments passed.

Waiting for my last two pracs to be assessed and then I can relax. I've just been pottering around, pacing, telling myself to not expect marks on the weekend, but I'm anxious.

I just need validation that I am smart, and not a total lost cause 😭

Is that sunshine I see? Good gads.

Made a version of kedgeree to scratch that tinned fish and rice itch. I cook the rice with the fish in an attempt to get more flavour imbued. It's alright if I say so myself. The cardamom is doing a lot of heavy lifting

Took a long drive on a glorious day, went to a cheese train right as a dog parade came through the door, ate many delicious cheesy things and finished an audio book. Today was wonderful.

What a beautiful day! Got the Minipeelers out for a walk and saw many cute dogs. When I explained my reasons and feelings about why we can't get a dog right now they actually were very reasonable and accepted it 😅

Meeting a new band tomorrow which is awesome! Beautiful day today which is perfect for a lunch at the lake near my house with mates.

Hope everyone has a great day ❤️

Why am I awake?

How did I just fall asleep on the couch for like four hours. After already nodding off intermittently this morning. I am not a habitual daytime sleeper but this is the third weekend in a row it's happened now. I don't like this fatigue. It's not even the weather, it looked glorious outside today...

Debearding has commenced

Seems like magpies are learning bad habits from humans.

Just watched one casually cross the road slowly
without any care for the world. Didn't even fly away when I approached it in the car, simply brushed off the encounter when I had to drive around it.

Instead of doing anything constructive I should be doing I spent the morning shopping online for embroidery cottons and some additions to make my thread stand more user friendly. I would like to know why, when I already own so many different colours of cotton, I always struggle to find the right colours for every new pattern I do?

My eyes have felt extremely irritated lately. I assume it's probably allergy related.

Morning guys. Market run awaits

Meds are late but the girl is hiding in one of her cubbies… she needs it soon but I don’t want to invade her safe place (or drag her out). I prepped the syringes ready to go and will wait a little bit to see if she emerges.

I think today is just going to be video games and cuddles.

Nothing much in the fridge for din dins tonight. Am tossing up whether to hit Thornbury Taphouse for a steak or Dumplings Express for a feeeeast. Decisions, decisions ....

Dog keeps peeing inside the house. Been going on for too long.

We've ruled out any medical conditions like a UTI, so it's probably behavioural. He was doing it when no one is home, and even if he was fenced off in the laundry, he'd do it in there.

I'm here thinking it's a separation anxiety thing. I went over to my aunt's house who recently got a puppy. He peed in front of us. Maybe it's a fear thing.

Either way, it's driving my mum insane. We've done the whole take his water away thing, positive reinforcement for when he goes outside, yet he still has accidents. I don't know if we can call them accidents anymore.

Yay to a potential vet trip :)

It’s a beautiful morning!

Back to doing more sewing. :) There are 54 pieces of fabric in each big cushion. 😵

so tired but if I keep at my work slowly I'll at least get something done

dinner tonight will just be easy

I have discovered the existence of micro IkEA stores. Not sure this is allowed in my universe. The whole giant ramble with arrows and getting lost anyway is half the fun.

I think I used up all my creativity yesterday, so I've been working on decluttering/sorting my sewing room instead. I think I have finally gotten all my cotton in one place and under control. I have far too many partly used reels, many of them multiples of the same colour. When you have a mess it is easier to just grab a new one for each project instead of finding the old one. I now have all of the partly used rolls in one box, roughly sorted by colour tone. I have also ordered some clips to stop the thread unravelling from the bobbins and reels to try and keep things a bit more orderly. Some of the rolls are getting a bit old, but nothing too antique - I sold all the ones on wooden reels a few years ago!

I also found some nice thick cardboard that I need for the covers of the book I am making - an old fabric covered storage box that I was going to throw out but didn't because Miss Meow enjoyed jumping in it. The cardboard inside that gives it structure should be a perfect weight.
