Thank you everyone for the kind words and wishes, this is such an amazing space. Thanks for being you 💜 The meeting with mother went fine, minimal narkiness. Dono dropped to the shelter and they were so excited by it that I just started crying. Am now home with wine, a whingey cat and a very, very kind and loving Boyo.
💕💕💕
You are the sweetest thing, you deserve all the kindnesses and love. 😘
Just parted with my mother who will be leaving Melbourne tomorrow at like 6am. Good times. Weather for her stay turned out so much better than anticipated. I’ve copped a moderate sunburn which I don’t mind at all because I’m probably vit D deficient normally - and dont mind some extra colour on my skin. Today we didn’t do much, roam around Albert Park lake, into Prahran to suss the market and get lunch, the home for a few beers on the balcony.
Sounds lovely . 😊
I found my new email signature
Edit: looking forward to my bbbbbirthday tomorrow!!! Oh fuck yeaaaaah.
This is by far the least depressed I’ve been near my birthday.

___the urge to click for 2-4 is strong …lol
As I start swiping and get cranky because it won’t swipe!
I have marketed, and procured
- bacon
- Polish raspberry tea
- dried apple rings
- dried mango spears
- blackberries
- bananas
- apricots
- teeny tiny plums
- the single biggest sweet potato I have ever fucking seen
- baby corn
- spinach
- green capsicum
- mushrooms
- a toy for Chookchook
- a goat horn for Gymbro’s new puppy
Can we get a pic of the sweet potato and a banana pls?
It’s about a foot long
Thats impressive.
a goat horn
A what?
Very sturdy chewable for a teething puppy
Chew toy. Like dried pigs ears. Used to get goat horns for my old dog - lasted a long time and completely absorbed his attention - for days.
What kind of toy did you get Chook?
Imagine a dinky little basketball hoop with a ball that fits it
That is so cute
Seems like everyone has hurt themselves in some way today, so I’ll add to the pile.
Sharpened my chef’s knife yesterday and promptly cut myself as you do. This morning though it’s a really clean cut so the sharpening worked. Problem was I’d had a few glasses of wine before so it didn’t look very pretty.
I’m ok so far. 🤞
also, those really clean cuts seem to close up nearly instantly
Went out for breakfast and had to combine tables to fit everyone so our table was the funny 6 7 number
Food continues to be a PITA for me but I’ve contributed to Food Australia 🫡
Something something lead others to a treasure I can’t possess
Hopefully by the time I come back on here, I will have done at least one section of my assignment.
Seeing my mother today for the first time in over 5 years, so of course spent the night going over every possibly argument and guilt trip she’ll pull up. However, am taking Boyo, who she hasn’t met, so she’ll certainly be on her best behaviour.
You don’t have to see her for another five years if she’s a dick about things.
Or ever
Some mothers are just… Ugh!
Sending you good vibes!!
Hope all goes well for you. :)
She can make her own choices about how to behave…but if she chooses to be shitty then that has a consequence, and it won’t be a reflection on you
Every child deserves a parent but not every parent deserves a child. Hope it goes okay.
All the luck! 🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛
Big deep breaths. You are strong, capable, kind and loved despite her intentions to make you feel otherwise.
This made me tear up, thank you 💜
Sprained my foot. I wrapped it because I’m not going to be goddamn bed bound today, pinky toe ligament be damned
take care of that
Food poisoning, so of course everyone is inviting me everywhere today for things i really want to do (ice skating with seldom seen nieces, friends belated b’day because he’s been caring for his mother after chemo, most likely last ever anniversary bash for local pub as their building is slated for demo)
Fml
Saturday. Bloods drawn for next week’s quack appointment, shopping done, laundry on the line. Time to head out for brunch and/or go to the nearest BWS to top up on booooze. Decisions decisions …
PS. It’s a lovely day out there.
yeah, I should get a move on too :)
I scored some retro tech at a garage sale. Some beats by dre, a teac hand held combination disc plyer tv , a small clock radio. $30.
That’s a good haul
the beats are old school, cable only , I’ll put new ear covers on for hygiene, otherwise perfect
the tv and disc player needs a power adapter, I think I have one that fits
Another walk done
spoiler
I can’t wait to move back to the North.
It’s been OK out here, having a seperate room for the studio but I’ll take a 2 bed unit near civilisation any day
