I am hungover
Me - I’m not sure what day it is 2024
That’s full tilt. Will be gone in under a week.
Went into office yesterday…down with some illness today.
People are filthy disease ridden pigs.
Guaranteed it was on my morning train ride.
“now arriving at: HACK COUGH WHEEZE SNEEZE” was a common sound on my train this morning.

Hit list from today:
- Old mate at Bailey Nelson that fixed my askew glasses perfectly in one try
- Old mate at Coles that couldn’t figure out why a “2 for” purchase wasn’t discounting, so he just gave me one for free
- Old mate barber that just knows what to do when I walk in and I think undercharges me
Pretty decent list!

I’m familiar with that policy actually! In this case I’d picked up two different things from two separate “2 for” promotions without realising it, and in order to prove it he tried to scan them both twice each and that still didn’t give the discount. A that point I think he just said fuggit and set one to $0 haha.
Oh, I saw my first baby ducks this weekend. Be sure so go to your nearest body of water this weekend to check out all the little floaty fluffs
I think I’ll bite the bullet and get on the airfryer trend. But I don’t have the kitchen space do I might replace the microwave with an airfryer/microwave/convection oven combo.
The ability to cook frozen stuff without the fuck around of a regular oven is too tempting
I use mine several times a week. Best use so far is to thaw and crisp up bread rolls, but does chops/sausages pretty good too. I don’t do fried food or chips much. It does a reasonable job of baking small half size cakes too. The microwave is better for thawing out frozen dishes imo, and does a better job of cooking vegetables.
I’ve only got limited bench space, so when I realised I was going to use the airfryer a lot, I invested in a ceramic tile 60cm by 60cm, and put that on top of my 4 burner gas cooktop. Most of the time I only used 1 burner so replaced that with a single burner induction stove. The airfryer and induction stove sit side by side on top of the tile - taking up no more room than that, and leaving a generous lip at the front for spoons and to rest the airfryer basket etc.
The tile can be easily removed if I ever need more than one pot on the stove at one time.We got an oven with an airfryer setting and it’s not very good. Should’ve saved the money and got a regular oven and a separate air-fryer.
To challenge your point, what fuck around with a regular oven? I chuck the chips on a tray with a baking sheet, turn the timer to 20 mins and in an hour I’ve got luke warm cooked chips.
You have to keep in mind that the combos don’t work as well as a traditional bucket airfryer. You are better off buying a small airfryer from kmart to try out. Alot of people recommend them.
I’ve gone to a friend’s place that used one of those kmart airfryers to cook some chips. I was thinking about this, and I’d rather trade a bit of functionality for a single device I don’t need to get out of storage and plug in every time I need to use it
I get it. Space in my small kitchen is at a premium. I have a microwave/ convection oven/ grill combo and it works well but it is not the same as a bucket airfryer and don’t believe people who say it is. The convection oven part is just a smaller oven. A bucket airfryer is like a Ferrari.
All airfryers are convection ovens. Not all convection ovens are airfryers even though they maybe marketed as that.

One of the best purchases I’ve made.
The air fryer revolutionised my cooking, I use mine multiple times a week. A worthy investment.

My kid is home with a cold. I panicked because if I get sick I can’t enjoy my lamb roast that I planned later in week so I brought it forward to today. Slow cooked lamb with spuds and gravy will be had then you can shoot me down with your mange.

Hahaha. Like my mum says “I don’t need a day of the week to tell me when I can have a roast”.

Apparently tomorrow starts what may be the biggest protest in over twenty years. I’ve only heard about it at work. Anyone have resources or anything? I’ve been told to expect PT to be a mess even starting from like 7am.
Edit: turns out my head is in the sand. Protest against defense/arms exhibition at convention centre. Many different groups saying they’ll be there and expecting like 25k people, starting from 6am
Glad I’m working from home tomorrow.

Please don’t go Baku. This has the potential to get out of control. I think the organisers have seriously misread Australia’s reputation as being laid back anti-protest people for the most part. Granted that the post-Port Arthur buyback means that nearly all the gun-toting people here are licensed, identifiable and mostly live up the country, but there’s a huge groundswell of people who really really REALLY don’t like guns and gun culture.
Never underestimate the destructive power of the so-called non-violent people. They usually don’t have many stop triggers - have you read Konrad Lorenz’s research back before WWII about what happened when he confined two nice gentle pigeons in a cage? Its brutal.
Lorenz was making the point that wolves and other social ‘aggressive’ species have stop triggers for aggression - if two individuals are in conflict they have ways of defusing violence and avoiding personal harm.
The pigeons do not - their usual species specific reaction to aggression is to fly away, so when confined in the cage one pecks the other to death and keeps on pecking until the dead pigeon is a bloody splat on the cage floor. Because the pigeons don’t have any practiced or instinctual way to stop being violent. So the violence continues long past any possible definition of ‘winning’.
Lorenz’s work and books have been questioned a lot since he did it, but in this specific area, I think he was dead on the money. My gut instinct for this event to avoid it at all costs. Protests are not a spectator sport.
I accidently walked thru a protest last year.
A bloke near me yelled out “Kill Them”. And I believe he meant it. I was chilled and got out of there as fast as I could.
I’m glad I don’t work near protest sites. Most of them seem unruly and even worse if two opposing sides clash.
I can really see that happening tomorrow when the pro gun people turn up.
Yep. Fully understand. I did protest publicly during the Franklin campaign way back when, but some of what I saw then chilled me too. And I’m fairly OK with my own personal triggers - I know when I have to back off and keep my cool. I fear those people who get whipped up into a frenzy and lose what little brains they once possessed. Because then there are NO limits to what they will do.

Nothing wrong with observing from a safe place. Disagree about the majority of people, though. I think we all have the potential.
Who is organising it?

The little pudding is hungry lately! She was sick a day or two ago but I’m hoping it improves.
There’s these fancy little cat broth sachets I’ve been tempting her with to eat wet food, and she’s always perked up at the treat bag rustling.
We’re cuddling and staying warm.
Maaan, I slept like shit last night and then didn’t connect my phone to the charger properly so no alarms, was late to work, plus I had to stay on late to clear my workload anyway, and then for some reason decided to make dinner from scratch despite having NO TIME (at least it’s chock full of veggies. I guess I was craving veggies).
Just sat down to eat it. And oh god there is a MOUNTAIN I need to do before I leave at 4 pm on the dot tomorrow because I hate coming back to a messy house, and I am so sleepy, and it’s so late…
Well. No use beating myself up for my past priorities. I will do the absolutely crucial stuff: pack using last night’s list, run the dishwasher, and clear/clean the kitchen surfaces. Tomorrow will be a VERY tightly run schedule. Up at 7am, go go go until 10pm when dinner is over and we get to our accom. Maybe I can have an hour to catch my breath on the flight. Off we go… 🛸
Quiet in here tonight.
Hope everyone had a great day ❤️
a good day, so much work to do and done
Excellent ❤️
Same here. Ready to bribe Gibson with treats to hang out with me lol
My boy is away on camp. One of the cats is not happy, but its the one we least expected to miss anyone! She’s on the couch sleeping where he sits, and glaring at anyone else who dares sit there.
Naaaw poor fluffy.
He’s home tomorrow. I can’t wait!

oh no, take care
you know you’re getting old when you truly love waking up stupidly early.
The stars are still out, the sky is dark blue, the birds are chirping, the air smells delicious, what’s not to love?
The hangover :(
Mornings are nice at this tune of year. I’d like to get up early but have never been able to manage the habit
Oh… hissing and puffy tails. Another kitty came up to the (locked) screen door and there was a standoff.
It’s always surprising to see as Melbcat is such a placid people oriented cat, a real teddy bear. I guess she’s just protecting herself and her home.
A few neighbourhood cats do seem keen on coming here. Maybe they heard about the good food and are trying to book a stay
