    I think I’ve officially broken the dog only 4 days in.

    3 walks a day might be pushing it. Determined for him to lose weight though.

    Sorry hambam.

    I’ve just been informed of the second death in my circle of friends this week.

    I’m,…not enjoying stuff right now

    Took the Minipeelers to The Lume for the last time. It was a tradition for us, and we went to almost all of the exhibitions there. The city is a lot more beautiful than I remember

    I’ve loved Polly Woodside since I was a child. It always amazes me that they sailed from Dublin over the open ocean in that tiny little ship. Those sailors must’ve been pretty gutsy.

      Melbourne in Autumn is magical. As it is in Winter, Spring and Summer. It’s such a beautiful city. Sorry to hear about the end of tradition but also so happy you kept it up! I wonder what will take over the space.

      It really IS a beautiful city.

      Every suburb I have lived has had beautiful public spaces within walking distance of most people.

    I have caught up with a friend and his dog, and been permitted to get my sad on the dog. It helps

    I think I just witnessed the funniest thing I’ve seen. I was waiting at the tram stop, and tram tracked said it was 15 min away, so I decided to just wait for it.

    A guy walks up with a backpack, he looks maybe ~50yo, and waits too. He has a ciggy and then when the traffic dies down he walks into the road a little to see if the tram is coming. It’s still a good 10min away according to my app, so I considered telling him this but decided I couldn’t be arsed with socialising.

    He walks onto the road, checking, and coming back a few times, getting more agitated. At this point there’s myself and him, and 4 other women waiting. A tram is coming, I check the app but it still says 5 minutes, so I figure the one coming is not in service. The guy sees it too and thinks it’s THE tram, and when it blows past through the intersection (it said “not taking passengers”), he loses his damn mind! Yelling at the tram that’s now disappearing down the road, gesticulating wilding, swearing, the works haha me and the other women are like 👀 at him because he’s right in the middle of us (loosely grouped) 😂😂 he doesn’t direct any of it at us though, and grabs his bag and storms off.

    2 min later the actual tram arrives and we get on, angry guy not in sight. I get a window seat and we take off. I look out the window and there’s the guy on the footpath 😂😂😂😅 he spots the tram and loses his damn mind again!!! I couldnt hear him of course, but he kicked his bag and gesticulated again 😂😂😂 I can’t stop laughing!!!

    I hope he made it to his destination! Thanks to him, the 15 minute wait felt like no time at all!

    The next meal kit box arrived already, six more days of meals sorted. I’ve quarantined the packet of peas in the freezer, that can go into Mr Woof’s next batch of food, I’m not eating that stuff!

    The Hello Fresh box should arrive just after this one is used up, with meals to take me through the move. It is nice being able to outsource some of the meal planning when you are busy.

    Today I was meant to do tidying but I’m in a real funk and can’t get moving :(

    Edit: A couple of ripe jack be little pumpkins (and one almost ripe) have withered off the vine. Leaving the few others to finish up but I have to say the harvest isn’t very impressive. Also every golden nugget pumpkin plant got completely eaten.

        Yeah. I think there’s just so little space, energy, and a-hole neighbours plants intrude to smother/suck up all the moisture and nutrients.

        Also I can’t let Melbcat out to kill or repel the rats

    Miss Meow doesn’t know why things are being moved, but she approves of having extra space in the cupboards. It makes it much easier for a cat to explore.

    I think I’ve packed the bulk of the fragile stuff, hopefully that means packing will go a bit faster now. It is a bit hard to find space to put the boxes though.

        Way more than can fit in the van, this is definitely removalist territory. I have managed to disassemble some furniture to clear a bit more space, and I think I can move the lounge to get a bit more.

    Geonbae for lunch with boyo means more soju and delicious food. How is the chicken THAT good?! Let alone the gochujang mayo on the salad?! Soju cocktails all round, plus some other bottles. A perfect lunch of much dog spotting at the beach!

    Anyone know how to stop new converse shoes from squeeking?

    Also, massive shopping centres are fucking intense after you’ve been there for over an hour.

      Shopping centers, crowds, crown casino, festivals - all give me high key anxiety. Too many people for my hyper vigilance to process and I get so overwhelmed.

      One time, my partner and I walked through Crown (we don’t gamble, I’d just never been inside), and I had a panic attack. All the people everywhere, the lack of visible exits, people staring at the pokie machines, I couldn’t take it.

      I’ve been back since, to see a movie, and that was okay. It’s close enough to the exit. But I just can’t take being in a crowded place anymore.
