    Good news! Elder Minipeeler got accepted into the school we applied for! I started crying with gratitude on the phone, and when I went back into the kitchen I burst out into this huge sobbing like I rarely have before, that wracked my whole body, and everyone was most alarmed by me sobbing and smiling. I didn’t realise how much tension I was holding in my body until it all came rushing out, and now after a hard day’s work I’m utterly exhausted!

    I have news.

    Milo the guide pup is all grown up. He’s passed all his testing with flying colours - best of his litter - and there’s a person waiting for him

    Good boy Milo. Good job.

        I just want to get it all submitted and passed before Thursday next week, so I don’t have to go to class until next semester lol. If I can get all the assessments done and submitted before the due date, then I have more time to amend any feedback/mistakes, and way more time to chill.

        Get onto it now dude, so you don’t have to worry later; 4 weeks goes by really quickly when you’re at school.

    King Island Dairy is closing next year. No more amazing triple cream brie and smoked cheddar. And 60 people losing jobs in a small community. Devastating.

      Definitely a loss…but their prices were pretty out there. I want to support local businesses, but can’t justify the costs most times.

      I bought the brie and cream on very special occasions. Saputo, a Canadian based multinational company which expanded via mergers and acquisitions, can’t find a buyer.

      So sad. Love their brie. I guess I’ll just have to over indulge while it’s still available. It seems like it should be a profitable business? Surely there’s a cheese loving millionaire that wants to buy it? Don’t they want to save their cheese platters? Do it for the good of the nation!

    I am SO cheesed off with airlines only offering PayID as a fee free method of payment - it’s fucked because some banks will always place a temporary hold on payments to new payees - and then the booking gets cancelled! Fuck sake! And then you have to be out of pocket TWICE to try and pay again, meanwhile you have the initial payment floating around god knows where and no guarantee of when it will be returned. So fucking stressed out.

      Not sure if it’s much help, but Qantas allows you to pay a small fee to hold a fare price?

      Simpsons as a family is a horror show for me. Homer is an extreme violent child abuser against Bart. ☹️

      I’ve always wanted to go to the movies alone and you have inspired me. The going out aspect might be good instead of just watching the movie at home.

    Weather has thrown me around for a 6 today.

    Hopefully it’s not too all over the place this weekend.

    Warning: AFL nuffie talk

    Had some really nice heartwarming moments today from parents who gave me lots of encouragements about Geelong on their match last night.

    I wear my team scarf and beanie almost everyday and they know much it meant to me when I showed up super happy.

    I know it’s not for everyone but it’s one of simple things that makes me happy. I hope we can go all the way this year.

      Years ago my sister and I were walking through a shopping centre, her with her Swans Guernsey, me in my North Guernsey for the finals, the amount of people going Go Swanies Go North absolutely heart warming. I get it!

      Go Cats.
