Mustard cress at 2am.
I went back to Resource Rescue craft supplies today, with a focus on getting soft fabric and things that can double as packing material for my move. I did manage a decent amount of fleece, and some felt squares that should work well between plates.
I also ended up with a couple of pieces of fabric that look like the stuff they use to cover bus and train seats - it should work well to re-cover Miss Meows tower which is getting a bit tatty. The blue won't really match anything else in the house, but you can't have everything.
Edit: Miss Meow has tested the fabric and seems to approve.
Sigh. You know how there are some people whose company somehow makes you feel more alone? I feel like that's this person I hung out with this evening... I basically felt like I was her uber driver. I have never liked the fact that she's 50% of the time on the phone when hanging out with me, in the past it was because I was helping her out with stuff but now I'm kinda done. The last straw was when we were supposed to have fish and chips after the sunset and she said she'd shout me, but then later on when I asked her where she'd like to go she said actually she has cramps and she doesn't want to eat. I think I'm really ready to let this one fade away (which is sad given I don't have many other friends but oh well)
Just enjoying my own f&c at home now, gonna rewatch last week's The Pitt and then enjoy this week's.
At the beach with a not particularly close friend for maybe the last truly warm evening... I don't hate the beach but man, give me a wide open plain or mountain forest or even a treed river bank any day. Something about the gritty sand and seagulls and stuff in the sand and the endless expanse of the water just makes me feel meh.
It's cool for people watching when it isn't too hectic though.
Three gins worth of cleaning and dancing round the apartment. Need to pass the mop over the floors and do some clothes sorting but mostly done. And I wake up tomorrow to a clean kitchen.
Night all ♥️
Pet peeve: I loathe when people say "men and females", or "I need a female perspective", or "men have different X to females".
"Males and females/females and males" is fine.
"Men and women/women and men" also fine.
"Guys, gals, and non-binary pals" also fine, and it rhymes!Females when using men in the same sentence is fucking gross and icky.
Over the hump of being drained of all energy, which is nice, but lizard brain really wants to have a drink this weekend. We'll see.
Hoping for a swim after work if it's not too nasty, since it'll be the last warm day for a while. Been 2 weeks since my last date with the paddleboard and I miss it sorely!
Project "drive this f'er off the cliff" has become project "lets just delete SOME stuff, not all" thank god. I think management may overestimated peoples knowledge of their own files. So thats awesome. in even better news this weekend we test the jayco out. VERY excited!
Day of today. My stupid preorder of a game didn’t come in, have to wait till Thursday now.
I’m fed, had coffee. Washing in progress and air con is on.
Also my recycle bin wasn’t emptied today so had to arrange for another pick up, hopefully done today or else Monday.
Happily been munching on lollies. Need to stop.
Debating if I buy these bugs or if I might be able to keep up the manual removal until I can get some attractors flowering. I saw one ladybug in the wild so that’s promising but no more since.
I figured gardening would be a cheap hobby (and with bare bones minimum it can be) but I am absolutely getting a crash course in disease/pest management with the heirlooms and also the need for feeding.
Melbcat’s meds and vet appointments are quite expensive so I feel guilty for constantly spending money on something that doesn’t have a high return. It means I’m really spending for myself. It’s just one of the few hobbies I’m able to maintain these days.
On our morning walks we often spot other dogs taking their owners for a walk. Today I spotted a couple of moccasins (poodles?) so I held back a bit and then they all spotted each other. They didn't bark. They squeaked. Which set old Weezy off because he loves rough play with squeaky toys. I was amused they can make noise like that.
The trams are doing that thing again. Nothing for forever then three at once. I need go deliver these dog biscuits dammit
sky pretty
Oh man, it's the evening for the blues. Today's episode of The Pitt unsurprisingly hit so hard. Doesn't matter that what happened was telegraphed a mile away, Noah Wyle's acting in that last minute fucking destroyed me. Had a big ugly cathartic cry and still tearing up over it. While also just overwhelmed by the competency porn. Y'all really need to watch this show (with several boxes of tissues). Best medical show ever
I've been getting these videos recommended to me on Rednote of women packing cute lingerie. I've finally cracked where they're getting them from to list for myself. Taobao must be the Chinese name for Alibaba, and there's more on there again than Alibaba or Aliexpress
Morning!
Put the wrong bin out last night
Gary Busey has a grandson who has an electro punk thing... Enjoy 😁
I still remember having a baby robot for health class in Year 10. Just as I had fallen asleep, I got woken up again. Makes me feel for people who don't get mat leave around the world and are forced to go to work or resign from their jobs.
I had a good idea. The garden isn’t producing much and probably won’t over winter but I also found a free doll pattern that can be copied via grid. (You can find printable ones too.) There are patterns for clothes.
If I had the energy maybe I could make a couple and donate them right before Xmas as kids presents.
Lol
I decided to join Lemmy coz fuck Elon Musk and trying to silence people on Reddit.
Vote 1 Belinda Gread! Let's get this country back on track.
I have eaten too many choc coated raspberries. I regret nothing, but I will need to replenish the toilet paper tomorrow as a matter of urgency.
I saw drawings today of Samus levitating pizza with her mind and finally saw the Nintendo Direct for it to make sense. It just reminds me I need to finish Dread
