Carl on the prowl
I love Carl! Great pics.
I thought I was so smart putting my drink in a travel mug so it wouldn’t get spilled.
Cat tmi
Melbcat spewed on it, hit it bullseye along with the carpet. The concave cup lid acted as a little basin 🤢
It’s rinsed off and in the sink while I decide how best to deep clean it or whether I can face using it again after that.
The carpet has been blotted well and soaked in biological cleaner so hopefully that should be okay. I’ll scrub and reapply if I need to.
Edit: the spinnos look a bit less happy today. They’re still valiantly pushing up leaves but one looks very slightly chewed, others have tiny pale bumps and pin fine light trails on them, and a few look wilted with dark stems near the soil. I wonder if they’re damping off
Damn. Precision strike.
Her aim was impeccable
- ✅ First class XPT train tickets between Southern Cross <-> Sydney
- ✅ South Pacific cruise booking
- ✅ Mandatory travel insurance (free through credit card) + $10 upgrade for cruise features
- ✅ Work annual leave submitted (taking 12 days of leave gives me 22 days of holiday woo)
I think I’m just about done! Holiday SORTED!
Once I’ve figured out Christmas presents, I can go into the holiday period stress-free 😎
Sounds like it will be a great new years :)
Today I found out what a burpee is. Yeah nah. I’ll start with the modified version first thanks.
I can’t do those and probably never will!
I watched this video and thought I could eventually work up to it. Slowly.
Got my “Peony Bouquet” wax melts delivered today and with no shock to anyone, they’re super florally. I’m not completely sure these really fit my whole vibe but I’m still going to melt them flowery motherfuckers nonetheless.
what is your vibe ?
Usually more of a masculine scent around me. Woods and spices sort of thing.
flowers are lovely, peony is my fave candle scent at the moment, peony or green tea
Mr Woof must have sensed I was thinking of moving the dog bed on the floor that he doesn’t use as he is curled up in it tonight. I guess it stays where it is after all.
He does know how to do cute.
I was hoping for pakidge today, but sadly it’s not looking likely. The air will have to remain unfried for a bit longer. The rest of the week should be pakidge full however, as I’m expecting seven deliveries 😁
I reckon my cat does know how to put the kettle on, he just pretends not to.
He’s living it up when you’re not there.
The young Seagoons ( they are only in their 30s 😉) are coming to stay for a few weeks before they move to NZ for a few years so I have heaps of cleaning and organising and probably shopping. Happy they are staying, sad they are leaving, but we’ll see them again and NZ is a great adventure for them, which is so cool. 😊
Despite having to do some work today I feel heaps better, I swear to God it’s because there’s some real sun… and I think taking the melatonin last night helped somehow.
I am kinda loving the first page of my home screen at the moment so I thought I’d show it off. You can see the Google Calendar widget has seen the colour scheme of my wallpaper and made itself brown. Inside the Boost Lemmy app it has actually done the same thing which is awesome.
iPhone users, can your toys do widgets yet? I haven’t been keeping up with iOS updates for ages.

ohhhh there’s an every two weeks option too!
I like the idea of this. There’s sooo much waste in produce supply, and it’s nice to see someone having a go at solving the problem. I’d rather have misshapen fruit and vegetables with some real flavour than perfect looking stuff that tastes like it’s been in cold storage for weeks and has no fragrance.
I had a dream last night that I owned a golden Labrador called “King” and he was such a good, gentle and kind boy.
I’ve never owned a dog. Our house and yard are not suitable for a dog… But I kinda wish King was real.
Sigh. Rent went up.
I still haven’t chased refunds/credit for the expensive arse cat biscuits she can’t eat, and she’s inhaling the expensive tins like she’s got hollow legs.
Mourning the clothing that got ruined because the equivalent replacements now are such bad quality.
Also I’m wasting money/letting food go bad/getting by in less eco friendly ways because I’m constantly so damn tired. Just bone deep fatigue.
Even the once free entertainments now want their pound of flesh.
Everything feels shitty and dystopian
big hugs
it’s still free to go for walks in the park on a sunny day
( I also noticed that about food wastage, I read somewhere mexican has the lowest food wastage , I might try more of that )
Yeah… not the best idea in my area. Which sucks. That would open up more activities
We shouldn’t complain … much. NSW weather today
