Melbourne

Didn't take my afternoon meds yesterday because I forgot. The tiredness just crashed over me and swallowed me up. Maybe kinda good for my brain to reset a bit. The intense dreams started again though. Back on it today! Last day of FT work and it is HECTIC and I'm flying interstate this evening for a conference that I haven't even remotely read up about in terms of the speakers. Gotta prep the house for the other person coming in to catsit while I'm away. Let's goooo

Of course I slept in and of course Starfield has to update. So by the time it's finished, I'm going to have to exit out of the game.

Le sigh, it's just not my day today. Do over please?

Perfect weather for a big gardening day today. I'm going to finish digging out the roses in the front yard, then take Chomp out to do some mulching - including the dreaded prickly rose cuttings. Then I have a few apple and pear trees to plant. Lots of choices after that depending on how I'm feeling - I can do some more work on the new beds, organise the next lot of seeds to be planted, do a bit of weeding. I'll see how I feel when I get there!

Finished a hard day at work, very strenuous but satisfying (I like that kind of thing). Basketball ring arrived while I was at work, and was assembled by Mr P. Minipeelers were enjoying it until elder minipeeler got a splinter in his foot. Mr P attempted removal and broke it, leaving some in there. I got home and had to remove the rest, the whole thing would've been around 2cm which is long for a splinter. Mr P copped a severe chastisement for allowing the children to play basketball outside in their socks. I'm one of those "put your SHOES ON!" parents, even in summer. It took ages to get the damn splinter out, it was really lodged in there deep. That shit is my jam though, weird thing to be good at but 🤷🏼‍♀️

Nooooooo the Spice Girls tribute show starts the day after I fly home and the next Carrot Top show is the night I fly home too. WHY WORLD?! WHY???

Was excited to introduce kids to Passiona. They didn't like it at all. I had a sip myself and I don't blame them it tastes weird. Tastes like they have subbed in an artificial sweetener. Did they change the formula or is my recollection just hazy after not really drinking this for a decade?

I hate my neighbours.

Blaring - floor shaking volume - System Of A Down and it’s nearly midnight…

Fuck you too.

Have to give a little review of the new Clifton hotel in kew.

I had the diavola pizza and it was proper pizza pressure.

Pretty much at capacity. Impressively well oiled machine.

At the moment electric cars are for rich people. You basically you need to be homeowner and wealthy enough for the car and the installation of charging infrastructure. And God help you if you live in an apartment building.

Not sure which colour nail polish I want to apply. Shiny blue, magenta, something more pale and reserved? Idk choices choices

Jeez Thank God You’re Here is funny.

I’ve got a high as a kite kitty with the munchies (for treats not dinner). Prancing around merrily and smooching. She just walked over and headbutted my full coffee mug hard, and it went everywhere.

Onto the recently changed bedding, down behind the headboard, into the drawers, under the base of the touch lamp, on my art stylus, on my Apple earphones, a few books, a medication packet, box of tissues… thankfully the stylus is still working and it missed my sketchbooks. Fingers crossed for the earphones. I grabbed one of her cotton blankets and mopped it up fast while she tried to cuddle in my lap.

I’ve wiped up what I can access. She’s settled in on my lap but when she gets up I can blot the carpet and give everything a thorough clean. Maybe soak the carpet spills in biological cleaner so it can just sit without scrubbing

One Piece is absolutely delightful. Totes recommend. 👍😊

Whoops. I stayed up a bit too late playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey because I've been needing to finish the DLCs. Good thing I didn't stay up just for Starfield, because that launches at 10am (which okay I only get like half an hour to play, not even).

I slept appallingly last night but it is what it is. Maybe tonight will be better.
