Melbourne

Kiddo just projectile shit all over the change table, and it that’s still less of a mess than what’s going on at the OTHER DT.

Picked up the game Dorfromantik - it's kind of like tetris, if tetris was hexagonal blocks of varying types of terrain that could be linked for a higher score. You have a limit number of blocks in your stack that you take one off the top each turn, seeing what's next and what's coming up in the stack. Some blocks have "missions" like "connect x amount of houses" or "make a forest of 88 or more trees". By completing these missions you gain more on your stack.

The brilliant thing in my 1 hour of play last night was that I started unlocking some cool things - some blocks have rivers or trainlines, but I then unlocked a little boat and a little train, and surely enough if you connect a one of those with a line/river then the vehicle will trundle along its path while you play.

Super chill game - it's not like tetris in that way. I finished one game without even knowing my stack was empty, score flashing up on the screen with a "play again" button present. Yes, I thick I will play again :)

Todays weather will be a 100% chance of rain, with temps between 7c and 11c ~BOM

Cloudy. Very high chance of showers, most likely in the morning and afternoon. Possible small hail from the late morning. Winds northwesterly 25 to 40 km/h turning westerly 20 to 30 km/h during the morning.

Really looking forward to dinner. Happily I was forward thinking yesterday and have something prepared, I just need to heat it when I get home.

Hehe I like this chaos.

I guess winter was coming eventually but it's a very delayed start though.

While it's open, consider backing up or scrubbing your account as you've got access to your posts, for now.

Just introduced Mr Smeg into the cleanse/tone/moisturise routine.

He was VERY thorough and seemed to enjoy himself.

Gewürzhaus advent calendar preordered 💪

Nuking my reddit history while I still can.

Also what's the temperature inside your house? 15 degrees for me with no heating on.

Holy crap it's cold out there! Gloves weather, don't make my mistake.

I like how there are in-line pictures on this rather than uploading to imgur or other image hosting server.

Hello everyone. The gym was brutal today, and I am now sore as hell

Slow day today. Sent email, took a phone call, ran some chores

Zzz

The worst thing about baths is how quickly the water gets cold

Just heard from my son, who is currently living in Florida and working at NASA. Apparently the r/melboune posts are causing some cultural confusion over there. Particularly the myki one, and the ones about helicopters overhead. There is no Carrot Man in Melbourne FLA, so that had to be explained. The sunset pix though are appreciated. NASA is watching r/melbourne with bated breath - something to do with dangerous aliens interfering with the American Way of Life apparently.

So the DT is back but now I don't know if can go back out of protest because screw the mods who shut it down so quickly.

Naww woolies min delivery increases from 50 to 75 in a couple weeks, in line for their increased grocery prices 😭

have to tell my favourite stakeholders that i'm bailing on them (finish contract at end of next week). i've been procrastinating it all morning, not sure why i'm sure they will be good about it. email currently in draft with 'here's all this work for you oh btw seeya'

Fuck it’s cold

Just a quiet day here, a little tidying, one load of washing, I don't have to do cooking because I made pies last night. Will continue to watch telly and do calligraphy.

It's so silly but whenever I'm watching a nature doco and Australia gets no mention I get a little sad.

Mr Woof was causing a ruckus in the kitchen, so I went to investigate. He was trying to get at my sweet potato! I've had to move it to a higher shelf for safety.

This is an awesome space and I love you all #

Turns out that mashed potato with brown sugar basically just tastes like brown sugar. It's actually pretty good, which makes sense as it's a neutral flavoured carbohydrate with a sweetener.

I tried it last night with a little bit of the mash I was making for dinner - took a small bit out and added caster sugar & molasses (because I don't actually have brown sugar, but that's functionally the same thing). It was a bit over sweet, but I think a better ratio of potato to sugar would improve it.
