        Sure. It’s just two lights. The LED ”neon”sign is off Etsy and there is a white pin spot on the disco ball from DJ City (various locations in Melbourne)

    I saw a fox just before.

    I’m worried that by leaving food for the strays overnight that I’ve put them in danger…

    I’ve had to accept that I can only really give these guys a helping hand. Still trying to find a rescue to take them, feeding them everyday.

    I can’t really do much more. I can trap them and get them spayed and vaccinated but they’re still pretty much in danger 24/7.

    I’ve gotten way too attached.

    Tough pill to swallow.

    A Canadian celebration breakfast put on by young Mr Seagoon , we had pancakes and maples syrup and fresh coffee. Tonight it will ne Canadian mac n cheese. With crumbled crisps baked on top. It’s a Canadian thing.

    Then a walk n on the dog beach with Miss Seagoon and Bear the Irish terrier. I picked up ten new kinds of shells.

    here is Miss Seagoon and Bear

    then shopping in the city, a quick bite and we went to Clock museum, which was a weird place.

    Now home for a few days while the big storm blows through.😊

    I love the young Seagoons so much 🥹

    Well, I asked for more field work, and while I was out onto one site I got called up to go to two more, in the rain and cold and everything. But it helped; I feel heaps better today despite some challenging people to deal with (not colleagues). Needed to get oot and aboot!

    Gonna go in tomorrow and probably work a full day - heading out midday with the team for an industry meeting/conference thing. Earning that extra money as much as I can. Lord knows I need it. Psych appt got moved to tomorrow so I’ll be budgeting carefully until next Friday evening… Need to reschedule dentist again…

    Now what to do at home? Maybe some long overdue journalling. Still getting used to not having this big acute deadline hanging over my head ☺️ might also watch an Ang Lee classic, Eat Drink Man Woman.

        I’m halfway through Eat Drunk Man Woman. It’s a really wonderful snapshot of Asian family dynamics and life in Taiwan in the 90s, incredibly engaging. Also, the FOOD PORN holy sheeeeeit

    Furbaby had a cuddle, napped, then has been woken for dinner and meds. I hope she’s feeling a bit better.

    spoiler

    I’m dropping the Osmolax down and starting to give her probiotics in the hope that helps her tummy. Maybe even try a little psyllium husk instead.

    Also I’m glad you guys are around. You’re good people.

    Picked up a friend from the Austin Repat today. The place is a time warp. So run down, I’m surprised it’s still useable at all. Desperately in need of a major refurbishment.

    I put on a goosebumps 90s episode last night to watch with little one and man the 90s melancholy/nostalgia/wistfulness hit me so hard. Oh to be able to go back to that time.

    Oh a side note, I love how Slappy scares my 9 year old. She talks tough about not being scared of anything, but as soon as Slappy moves his head she’s clinging to me like she’s about to fall off a mountain lol.

    At my co-working space they do a free breakfast on Wednesdays - you best believe I loaded up my plate. There was waffles with chocolate sauce, English muffins with ham and cheese, croissants, yoghurt with fruit, donuts, I got it all. Food coma incoming. And I brought my own lunch too.
