Back from one week holiday. Really enjoyed seeing another corner of our beautiful country, even if it is super expensive to travel locally. Highlight was visiting Whitehaven Beach, I've never seen ocean water so blue.

On the to-do list today is holiday laundry, grocery shopping as my fridge is empty, gym session and catching up on many work emails.

this under 16 age ban thing is interesting. As a kid or teen I would have been FURIOUS. As an adult... I totally get it!

As a father of teens, I get why it's being implemented. Waaay too many kids have unfiltered and unrestricted access to shit that's just plain wrong.

It's also 100% on the parents to know what their kids are up to.

Stationary vs stationery is one thing my brain just refuses to hold onto. Can’t type management or ophthalmology without finger glitching either.

I should have everything to finish the work from home request now. At least today can count as one of my days in

If you want to hate musicians, go to any music technology site and read the comments.

Yuck.

New glasses have been obtained and are being worn. Everything is weird. The difference between my prescription and the "real world" is now so big I can't use these reading specs at all to look around the room

and lots of those aldi meal replacement sachets have been bought. I will have to take lacteeze but I do not care. Husband says he will eat them too , which is a huge relief.

Ok on some wise advice I have kept only the 4 plants I already potted up, and put the rest of the little Audrey II’s at a visible spot where people often leave hard rubbish.

Feels like abandoning them :( Maybe I should swing by occasionally over the next days with a water bottle and see if they’ve all been taken. I hope they don’t just get trashed

Wait until you hear what they call tomato sauce.
