I remembered my password lol I'm back properly.

Adulting is buying your favourite items in bulk when they are on special.

Today I'm gonna cook pork ribs in the airfryer. I'll let youse know how it turns out. 👍

No one tells you that as you get older wearing shoes with proper support will become a priority.

Finally got out of that fucking tutoring role! Finally no more being absolutely fleeced by a boss who pulls in 200K a year but absolutely can't give a raise in line with inflation because they don't take inflation into account.

Today is a good day, goddamn

I have a funeral to go to tomorrow and I'm dressing for warmth.

Today I learned that my mother always thought "patio" rhymes with "ratio"... The effect of living in a country where most people live in apartments and you grow up learning a lot of words from books but not speech

At my niece's 4th birthday lunch. Thought you'd appreciate a photo of an Australian classic.

Does anyone else feel like supermarket employees are on a bit of a power trip?

The patrolling of the self serve thing really gives me metro ticket inspector vibes. I'm constantly having them look over my shoulder as though I'm going to steal.

Admittedly I live in a shitty area and am a minority so maybe I get singled out but it really gets on my nerves.

I make enough that I don't need to steal food. Fuck right off.

Sorry it's been bugging me for a while now.

Dumb question, but does anyone else remember the 90s being a time of feeling like there was so much potential and new shit on the horizon? Or was that just cause I was young?

Hard rubbish all out. That's twice now a passing stranger has helped me lift the second couch back up.
Here's hoping the fossickers don't just dump it again...

Earthquake! I think. The house shook anyway.

Ahhhhhh I need to be up in 6 hours and I can't sleep

I started trying to sleep almost 2 hours ago and it's just not working 😭 I give up until the tiredness happens

I guess tomorrow's going to be a nap in the car kind of day

Lmao just gave the cat a tin of his new food which has veggies in, dude actually sniffed it, gagged, and the cried for different food.

He really loved the fish based one yesterday, so I don't think it's a brand issue, dudes just not keen on pumpkin and peas.

I'm going to Sydney tomorrow and I'm not sure whether I'm excited or nervous but whatever I am I can't sleep :/

Day 8/70: First day of week 2 weigh-in.
Down 1.8kg. I know the first couple of kilos are the easiest, but still I didn't think I'd drop that fast. I actually don't want to lose 18kg (10 weeks x 1.8kg). I'd be too skinny.

Am trying this recipe: https://www.recipetineats.com/baked-balsamic-chicken/.
Wish me luck!

I've IRL socialed enough for today. I feel like a bit of a naparoony.

I have inadvertently started collecting chickwn salts. I should start a database with notes. Best on popcorn: hoyts chicken sprinkle. Chippies: less salty than mitani, can be more liberally used. Aftertaste akin to a smiths roast chicken chippie.

I didn't grind enough coffee and I mustn't have tampered it hard enough because it barely made it into the espresso extraction range and now my coffee is a bit weak. Weak coffee isn't a good start to the day BUT I did sleep well enough to sleep through the earthquake so it's not all bad news.

Ah Woolworths self check out.

I scanned a single carrot as carrots. No bag, just a single naked carrot on the scale.

It called the attendant over, the image on screen is very obviously a carrot but it still thinks it's not a carrot.

TF with this weather. 😑 I am cold.

On a side note, the Joseph Brown Collection is worth a visit at the NGV (Fed Square). NGV (water window) looks like it’s gearing up for the Triennial.

Also had the pleasure of failing at pottery at 2 Mayfield in Abbotsford. Was fun and you can BYO.

Current Mood: Vibing for Imbibing.

Giant pot of pumpkin soup is on the stove, nice for these upcoming cold days.

reply 1 to send me to the gym, 2 if no

Saw Moulin Rouge. The stage setting is spectacular. Music has been changed from the movie, it’s done in a mash up style, all the songs are well known pop songs. Great energy show, enjoyed it lots.

Sit. rep. on the recipe - didn't quite work out but I think it was because cranky old oven is cranky, plus the baking tray was probably too large. But it was delicious - definitely trying it again!

Happy Wombat Day. 😊

Dyson stick vacuums, are they worth it?

On a lighter note… :( To get my head off the subject.

I just saw *a new Nat’s What I Reckon cookbook coming out at Big W. (I fell off watching for a while and was unaware that he actually now has a bunch of books.) In case anyone is stuck on finding a Christmas present for someone. It’s currently only on preorder though, so no idea if it would be ready by December.

I’m going to stick my head back in my drawing app for a while and spoon Melbcat.

She’s so funny, a cat with the chill personality of a dog. She’ll climb in the bed with you and plop her head down on your shoulder, or make biscuits and do little T rex arms while getting a belly rub.

Late lunch / early dinner

I've been thinking about saying the special three word sentence to my boyfriend, but some things are making me apprehensive. We haven't been dating for that long (only three months) and I don't say those words to just anyone. I might feel love towards him, but to me, love is also a commitment that you make with the other person. Seeing as it's still very early days, our future together just seems not too certain (but people can change at any point).

I have decided that one of the presents I'll give him for his upcoming birthday is a list of things I like about him and I might slip it in there :)
