The second emoji is what came up when I typed in meeting.
Went shopping with friend who wants to rebuild my wardrobe. Bought nothing but she bought some cheap earrings, only to leave the bag of them on the bus. I followed the bus in the car and she ran to get her earrings.
Shopping is exhausting. Very lucky to have such a first world problem. But I hate shopping centres and browsing.
There is a special Hell for people who think bra shopping is fun
Wait… there are people who think bra shopping is fun?
Wait until you have to buy bras for other people. This is a whole new dimension of not fun. Did that while my late bloke was working in Timor Leste for the army as a contractor just after the fighting stopped. The army women found that they couldn’t buy bras locally due to size and durability issues - like, a bra would last for a month or two at most and were usually far too small. And the uniform issue ones were truly horrible to wear if you were a generous size and even those were in short supply. So my bloke asked me to buy up bras at Vic market and send them up to Timor Leste. I’d get a list of sizes and had to find as many as possible to those specs. Then the fun times of arranging postage …
Those weirdos walk amongst us!
It sounds fun, but my wife has never taken me along.
Yes, she hates bra shopping.
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
“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. 🙂
Got my payslip.
Picking up the car on my birthday Saturday!
It’s all coming up millhouse!
You softy. I would put a tin of salmon on the floor and walk away.
I am absolutely a softy lol
Yay for the cat righting reflex!
I have an understanding, but no words.
Watching her scale the security door with claws out, hanging for a bit, then doing the mad jump to the top of the door is nuts.
And all in 30 seconds from a standing start lol
She’s so strong! Look at her mighty form up on high, surveying her kingdom and her silly ape-slave… Who, coincidentally, will assist her dismount from her tightrope-throne!
Praise Be Gibson 🙌🏼
🤣🤣🤣 This got me genuinely laughing out loud.
I don’t know how they don’t hurt their claws on the screen doors, but mine have been known to do the same!
TIL that cat claws are an appendage of the paw bone structure. Completely unlike humans whose nails are a part of skin structure.
That’s why cats can support their body weight with claws.
Holy shit. Makes complete sense!
The pitiful ‘I’m stuck’ mews, then they do it again 20 seconds after being rescued
Nothing will ever beat the defeated look Gibson gives me when she gets wrapped up in a plastic bag and needs me to help her 🤣
Kiwifruit chilli chutney has been bottled. Tastes pretty good. Flavours along the line of a sweet chilli sauce, just a bit chunkier (and greener!)
that sounds delicious 😋
Looks pretty too!
Afternoon buyer has not shown up ☹️
It is very rude, Mr Woof has been waiting for his afternoon walk. She confirmed she was coming just a couple of hours ago!
Went to pick up some extra food for a few days and came across some bargains
3kg bag of oranges for 5 dollars and a bag with 4 bunches of chinese broccoli or something for 2 bucks.
Felt like I made off like a bandit and has left me fairly happy with myself.
Also this afternoon was way smoother with almost no hassles compared to yesterday’s drama.
Edit: I also grabbed some red wine and pink moscato.
Orange juice freezes spectacularly jsyk. I like to make ice cubes
I’ll probably just end up eating them.
They’re fairly big oranges and I lack a juicer too.
Cutting them in half and whacking with a mallet is good enough for brewing juice…,
Sounds messy.
Well yes, but if you do it in minimal attire in a bathtub you might get secondary income as well as home brew
I’m not sure I’ll recoup the cost of a mallet from that alone.
Might be a bust.
Always worth having a little jug juicer for citrus, but delicious oranges are delicious
Chop them in half across the equator, let the cut surfaces dry a bit then sprinkle with sugar and put under the grill until the sugar melts and goes a bit brown. Eat with a spoon. It’s the perfect antidote to a rich heavy meal. Thank me later.
I’ll bookmark this for later. I hadn’t considered that option before and am a little curious about it now.
sky blue, I did reading on the tram , got a new planner
and some art books
It was a successful trip. 🙂
Surprise! 1st strawberry from the patch this season. Was watering and thought… hmmmm… something red is hiding there. 🍓
Nice one! There is nothing like a properly ripened fresh strawberry.
yum 🙂
It was!
That’s so cute! Who gets to eat it?
It’s all mine… gotta have some rewards!
Lucky duck!!!
Congrats! Looks luscious!
It was a very nice surprise!
Woo! Few things in my horticultural life have excited me as much as the first strawb of the season!
I knew you’d understand my delight!
😋
I ended up with more kiwi fruit this week, so I am going to try a small batch of kiwifruit chilli chutney.
rain
It’s started again here too. Looks like I picked the perfect time for morning walkies, we only got a few drops while we were out.
my resident cyptid
- meows in approval *
🤣🤣🤣
Someone might take the big couch off me today. Please turn up this evening for the love of God. It would be such a relief.

I think it is Spuds blood donation
🅰️➕🩸🩸🩸❤️
A+ like your blood type right?!
Hell yeah 🤘🏼
I meant to say this yesterday, you’ve inspired me to get back to doing the plasma donations I used to do until my schedule went to shit a few years back. The final kick in the pants I needed. You’re doing good!!
I do wish my donation centre had the yummy food lots of people seem to get though! Last time I was there there WAS the Nippy’s milk though, can’t go wrong with that I guess! :D
Dunno where you are, but I went to the Brunswick one on Albert St (accessible via Woolies carpark). They built it within the last year or so, so it’s all very new and the rest area is really nice.
The questions and checks were pretty thorough when I first signed up back in the day, to make sure people weren’t donating who really shouldn’t for some reason - they’re very strict on donor welfare which is great. And they always keep an eye on people after their donations, who are sitting around a bit before heading off. Very well run and well managed places in my experience!
Strangely I always felt ‘better’ afterwards when giving plasma rather than whole blood, but again YMMV!
Oh yeah they still do the in depth questionnaire, and a haemoglobin pinprick test.
And I’ve read that donating blood/plasma increases endorphins or something? It also makes the body make new blood. Also, apparently, it lessens the viscosity of your blood so reduces the risk of blood clots 🤷🏼♀️ I guess there’s also the feeling of doing something that’s just an altruistic, purely good deed, makes you feel good too knowing someone out there is benefitting from your donation 💜
Not my neck of the woods, but I’m hearing my closest one has had a bit of a refurb so will find out on the weekend!
Aw yeah sweet as!!! Let me know how you go!! ❤️
Squarkly Bear! That was my local shops for my first 2 years in Melbourne. Before I was gentrified out to Preston.
Hehe I’m literally a 10 min walk away or something lol it’s so cool. I like hanging out at the lil park opposite it, between Dangerfield and the Tarot/Massage joint 😅
So Oporto are doing breakfast at the moment. Their stores open at 10 and breakfast goes until 11. Why have a whole line of food you only sell for an hour?
I know what you mean. The bacon could do with a bit longer on the grill too, I’ll add.
That was my experience with the bacon and egg roll. Some very wet bacon on an athletics carnival bun. I just want to try their deluxe breakfast burger before they stop doing it. As much as I feel chicken for breakfast is an odd choice.
why do breakfast starting at ten? How about a 6.30 start for real workers.
I know. I can’t go before work, you need to go mid morning after most people have had breakfast. Why bother doing breakfast if you’re barely open at breakfast hours
