    Have a potential employer to speak to tomorrow. Here we go!

    Also, Boop:

    The toilet paper is stolen. I’m not allowed to touch it if she’s within seeing distance so I’ve accepted my fate for the moment.

    Well it’s happened. A good friend of mine, who suffers from major anxiety from childhood emotional abuse, has finally caught covid. In spite of double masking everywhere outside the house and all possible precautions. These new variants are sneaky to the max. Take care out there peeps.

      A mate if mine who is similar copped it recently and narrowed it down to a couple of interactions at shops (not masking but a pretty careful person)…if it helps they were sick for about 4 days then boom. Better. Well but of fatigue in the following week but just like the flu.

      I have started masking again on the trains etc.

    This is the view from my accom tonight that I wished I could’ve stayed two nights at, but alas only one… The sound of the river and the clear, fresh air is so healing… could spend a whole week here soaking up the everything.

    Sent some of Dad’s ashes (about a teaspoon) to the sea at the local beach on his deathiversary, like I promised myself I would. Will bury some more in the garden later.
    Now treating myself to a breakfast at yet another local cafe.

    Does anyone else have a cheese fetish?

    I just bought 6 different cheeses - burger cheese, cheese sticks, Mersey Valley, pecorino, laughing cow (one fridged, one pantry). They all have different applications.

    And I have more in the fridge already.

    I have discovered a problem with finally having a really comfy bed…I don’t want to get up. It’s cold out there.

        I have a pretty good pillow fort set up as it is - one of the great joys of single life after 25 years of sharing is being able to make my bed as cosy as I want it

    Today has been a good day. Lovely sunshine; I’ve got an interview lined up for next week for a job I really want; I went and checked out some art; I ran into a friend; and I ate cake at Brunetti.

    And now I’m home with a fluffy cat on my lap and a cup of tea in my hand.

    It doesn’t matter how much you’ve seen of the photos and accounts of the atomic bombs in Japan, the museum at Hiroshima still leaves a real impact on you. The crowds are huge though, I’m very glad I booked a ticket to enter the museum earlier (7:30-8:30) and take my time without navigating hordes of school students and tourists

      I visited the museum last year. There were people in tears after going through the main section. There’s really no sugar coating that very dark part of history, so impactful.

      When you come into the light and massive windows overlooking the peace park after the main section, it’s a nice snap back into the somewhat peaceful present.

    Picked up my MC prescription at lunch today and it might be too early to call whether it’s the products or just a trick of the mind but things seem brighter already. I’ve taken myself out for dinner and I’ve booked a movie ticket after 👌

    Some bright spark decided to bring fish for lunch to work and warm it in the microwave.

    What’s worse? They decided to eat lunch at their desk.

    I’m gonna spoke their water bottle with the crap from the dishwasher filter given a chance.

    Got to my accom about half an hour ago, booked tickets for the peace memorial museum tomorrow, there’s a cafe right downstairs which is perfect to get myself going asap in the morning. Think I can get it all done in time. I hate rushing through something so important, but it is what it is. I think 3.5-4 hours should hopefully be plenty for the museum and park.

    I didn’t have to do the complicated blood tests today but I will soon.

    My Minecraft bees absconded so I built a glass hothouse and trapped the new ones inside. I proceeded to watch the little buggers clip through the glass and escape multiple times (retrieving them with leads)

    Edit: Found a missing glass block in the ceiling which I’ve patched. But it looked like the bee popped out the side, and the wiki says that they can clip through sometimes. I’m hoping that’s fixed the issue. I took away the dandelion in there and will see if they can pollinate the glowberries without anything else there, and if that results in honey.

    Probably not since it’s probably a crop… I put the dandelion back so the berries hopefully get pollinated flying between the flower and the hive. They’re making honey now but not pollinating the berries

    Ok… they’re pollinating like one or two of the berries. I could make a more efficient setup but cbf

    It seems my org has made their decision. They’re going to move the new kid in on the 5th as planned and just put agency workers here. All they had to do is push it back 2/3 weeks and the next LT they’ve lined up will be moving in and it would work out better for everyone
