    Last minit catch up with partners friends from Perth, they’ve just bought a house here.

    Looking forward to the nearby house parties they’re known to do 🤘

    Well that was a disaster. I tried to heat up a container of purchased fried rice for din dins. Something in it had a hard shell, and esploded all over the microwave. Not on my bucket list for Thursday night - cleaning the microwave including picking rice out of the ventilation grids. The less said about the state of the turntable the better. I didn’t know takeaway food containers could actually melt but this one did. Will not be purchasing from that outlet again. On the plus side - I now have a spotlessly clean microwave oven. And every reason to do something in the airfryer for dins.

    One great thing about getting older is my memory seems to be going… what’s the positive you say? Well, tonight it means that I realised I totally forgot I love Spoon and that seeing them play this live and the whole crowd just going nuts is a pretty fucking good memory. Hardest Cut

      I came here to say that! It’s nice now the sun has moved around a bit for summer I can see the sunset from my loungeroom window. The bit where the sun drops down low enough to try and sear my eyeballs out is less nice, but the sunset is definitely appreciated.

    3rd post in a row!

    London Calling.

    Now I get the song. The world is ending and that’s how it felt in the 80s.

    nearly all today’s garden tasks done, just didn’t move a big pot, too heavy, and couldn’t repot another because the plant is too big for the pot I had for it. But so much cleaning up done, filled the two garden bins again!

    Tomorrow I have to shop for some Australiana for the Young Seagoons and friends. I am excite. :) 😊😭

    All I’ve been doing these days is drinking tea and trying to get the uni shit done. Have made plans for next week to leave the house for reasons other than work so I have to get shit done faster. Let’s see if this works. Spoiler: it won’t.

    Chill day. Bit quiet because the guy I’m eventually taking over from has been under the pump.

    BBQ after work tomorrow is pretty chill though.

    Just wish I lived closer to work

      iirc where you live doesn’t have a train line? Is it realistic to move somewhere closer with better transport? Might have to sacrifice space though.

    Listening to the documentary of BBC Radio I have heard many interviews, many voices, many real time recordings of events I have never heard before.

    On side 3 I heard Howard Carter interviewed, Hitler and Mussolini speaking, the first Bing Crosby, the Announcement of War by Chamberlain, real sound recordings and reporting of the Blitz of London, Vera Lynn speaking on the radio, Churchill’s announcement of the fall of France.

    It was fascinating and engrossing.

    Garden work is finally complete. I am going to celebrate with a shower and then veg on the sofa for the afternoon.

    A lot of dirt was moved. Pigeons supervised, but refused to help

    The back yard looks even more patchy than when I started, but should improve once the grass grows in.

    I think if I top dress the grass again in Autumn I can fill in the lower spots a bit more, and the extra sand should help with drainage and hopefully I won’t have the wet spots that hold water after rain.

    Doing a donation of items to the shelter I got Toby from this weekend. I prefer to donate physical items, so reached out to them to see what they needed. Have got some rabbit food, kong toys to stuff and freeze, cooling mats, will go out tomorrow and buy some blankets and basic training treats. Am preparing myself for the waterworks from myself.
