Tomorrow feels like the start of a new chapter.
Today is 7 months off suboxone. Sleep is better regulated, music is going really well.
I’m half excited half nervous about tomorrow.
I still can’t get over the fact that of all the possible buildings in Melbourne, it’s the one where my mum used to work.
None of this would be possible without the sacrifices that she made, and the hell she endured.
She will always be my hero ❤️
this is so awesome
so happy for you 😘😊
( I am sure she would be very proud of you, as we here are )
Your mum would be so proud of you mate. You’ve gone through so much crap, and worked your way out of it. That’s really admirable and a testament to your character!!! She lives on through you ❤️
Fucking hell.
Just found ol’ boy (81) up a ladder checking gutters (about 2m high), base on an incline on wet grass. No tether, not staked.
Yes I got grumpy.
What is it with people thinking ‘she’ll be right’ on ladders.
Stupid af (esp. at that age).
Seems to be a thing. When my OH’s dad was around the same age he (frail & blind in one eye) did the same thing.
I’m glad your dad is ok & hope he listens to you. Geez they can be stubborn
E: I say that a stubborn person myself (didn’t mean to be ageist)
Seriously stubborn.
He said ‘don’t tell me what to do’. He’s not frail and in good shape though. I said ‘well I’ll tell you what you won’t be doing if you fall and break your hip… you’ll never play golf again’. He mumbled something and walked away lol.
he's the prettiest boi
look at those whiskers 😻
What.
A.
Stunner.
Appetite is good today! She just had a
thirdnow fourth small helping of wet food and some dry biccies!And is still trying to convince me to let her outside lol
Happy for you both. 😊
It’s my birthday next Sunday.
You know how I know I’m getting older?
Knowing what the weather is seems to matter waaaaaay more than it ever has before.
I’ve put the heater on again today. This is ridiculous.
I just slipped on a pair of trackies hot from the dryer 🥰🥰🥰
Luxury
What happened to the “short and t-shirt. Not going back” attitude?
I never said shorts! I’m still wearing a T-shirt
My apologies. Enjoy your warm trackies.
I’ve been thinking about this everytime it’s cold
Same. Wild shit.
I put the heater on yesterday
That was the wrong time for a walk 🌧️🌧️🌧️
I woke up thinking it was Monday. God is good 🙏
it’s like getting another day for free😊
Bugger there’s a wattle bird that made its way inside.
This might take a while :(
edit hooray it’s free. Threw a towel over it and it calmed the f down.
So my resume now includes 3 mudlarks and 1 wattle bird. Magpie is the only bird with manners who just trots out when it gets in lol.
How are you with possums? We had one wander inside then climb the curtains. I made the mistake of trying to pick it up in a towel, like a cat. Eventually got it outside but I had some interesting tooth-mark bruises for a bit.
Ouch.
I think I’d set a trap (non-kill) and hope for the best lol.
Lol. I would’ve shit me self. Those eyes are creepy.
Well that’s a little embarrassing. Cleaning out the booze shelf and found some relics that people have gifted over the years. Might have a taste later. Probably all vinegar though.
That Hanwood Special Reserve is from where I grew up
You can make a nice trifle using that port
I’mma curl up in my recliner and watch Spooks

This is the last Sunday where I’m excited to start work tomorrow lol
Every Sunday hereafter will be filled with Sunday Blues
My life is enriched by much market bounty. The parsnips, they are enormous
One of my fab fave vegetables - the parsnip. Love them. One of my best soups is a grated parsnip simmered in 1 cup good chicken stock till tender, then add a grated golden delicious apple. Add sliced red chilli to serve and if you dare, a half shot of vodka. I call it sunshine soup. Warming, comforting and fresh flavoured and colourful.
I’ll have to try that
I make a parsnip bake with eggs , milk, thyme and black pepper
it’s quite good with roasts
Oooh must try that. Sounds delish! Thyme goes so well with parsnips.
peel and slice into 5 mm rounds, lightly steam, then make an egg milk and herb mix. put parsnips in a pie dish and pour egg mix over. bake. if you like sprinkle some tasty cheese on top
Thanks! This is going on the food roster.
it’s super easy 👍
Gahhhh, tired of giant cars that don’t fit in parking spaces.
