Bro rocked up last night finally to 'see' mum.

Just sat there and spoke about himself for 30mins.

Cunt. At least the old man is seeing him for who he really is now.

Pretty obvious won't be getting much help from bro.

Anyway so I've left the kitchen with a bit of a mess and I need to see what happens (I usually clean up). Pretty much testing severity / independence. I'm hoping I'll get a serve because that means she can see it, she can do it, how well she does it and mood which will be a good indication for steps that follow (for now). Low risk easy test.

Open mic is tomorrow at 9pm if anyone wants to come have a drink :)

Edit: I'm sorry I'm going to cancel. I've been dealing with this stomach bug all week and it's just gotten worse and worse.

Id rather not go, than give a lacklustre performance :(

Tv Review. Poker Face on Stan. This is like Colombo. A crime is shown to the audience and the main character, Charlie , manages to figure it out using her ability to detect lies and inconsistencies and find clues. Unlike Colombo it's original, Colombo was a copy of Les Diaboliques.

I like these shows, half the genius is developing all the situations where the main character is put in the situation of catching the bad guy/solving the crime.

This series has a lot of potential.

3.5 hobbits. Next series there may be less violence and less drinking on camera and then it will get broader appeal and 4 hobbits

Kiwifruit chilli chutney has been bottled. Tastes pretty good. Flavours along the line of a sweet chilli sauce, just a bit chunkier (and greener!)

Ugh, no luck with confirming the couch move so far (and tbqh I'm really tied for time tonight). I'm starting to think it won't happen and I'll have to move it to my friend's place.

Meanwhile I have at least confirmed the movers for Monday morning, that's a big tick. Think I'm just going to take the day off so I can clean up after and shit

is there a stomach bug going around? Kid got sent home with the shits yesterday but was in great spirits and wasnt on a hold so went back today and seems fine. Meanwhile I've got this feeling at the top of my stomach a bit like i wanna spew, but not quite? Had it for 3 days now, and it just comes and goes. not actual digestive changes however, its a bit weird. edit: feels like there is a rock at the top of my stomach.

Left over beef ragu pasta for lunch and I am so excited. Hurry up, 1:30pm.

Also wondering at what point I'll snap and stop making sensible decisions and run away to Europe for a month.

For some dumb reason I clicked on a spider IG. Now my IG is full of spider-related content.

Like BIG spiders…

I ended up with more kiwi fruit this week, so I am going to try a small batch of kiwifruit chilli chutney.

Edit: Chutney is currently cooking. I had a preliminary taste and it is hot.

What's everyone's favourite dessert?

If it's cake I'd say chocolate for me or black forest as long as it doesn't have cheese in it.

I also like making a bowl of jelly with fruits in it.

Good start to the day, Marketplace buyer showed up & was very friendly. I have a couple more that will hopefully show up today too - I'll have to convert all my cash to proper digital money soon! 💰 💰 💰

I'm really hoping some more cupboards sell soon, I'd like to be able to use my carport again. If any are remaining after this weekend I think I'll put them up free on the Buy Nothing group.

"To create a work of art is to create a world" . This quote is the intro to my new to me book on Kandinsky. It's a cool quote, it's true. 🙂

Clients asking me if I can do their work for cheaper. No! I give you a fair price right up, this isn't a negotiation. Yet I feel the need to say, yes of course I can do it cheaper. Then I come across as a pushover and the next time I do work for them, they'll ask for cheaper again.
