    Mr Floof is 1 year old today. He loved the tuna cake, not a fan of the singing.

        It’s all hand written with cryptic notes lol. If you really interested I can decipher it and send it later, I don’t mind. The secret ingredient is Kilkenny 😎

        and by the way, you posted a link to a Hawawshi dish a few days ago which I will be attempting this week so thank you. Is there a sauce you recommend with that?

          We have it with hummus or toum (Aldi’s garlic dip is very close to this) but you don’t usually eat it with a sauce. Normally you’d eat them with tabbouleh.

          Cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, gherkins go well with them.

          Also when I make them I use mini lebanese bread but regular still works.

        Oof… nobody likes mushies in this house but me so they aren’t really a thing. Perhaps we could do a private mushroom party 🥳

    If anybody’s ever thought I’m giving the McPeake people a hard time and shouldn’t call them incompetent reject tradies:

    That wood at the bottom had rotted out, so he came to ‘fix’ it by putting a triangular piece of wood there. He put a fucking nail through the window.

    I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW HE WAS HERE! HE CAME AND “FIXED” THE WINDOW WITHOUT TELLING ME!! THEN HE RAN AWAY AFTER BREAKING THE WINDOW!!! (I have it on camera, it was 100% without a doubt him!)

      Oh, I should also add that this fuckwit turned up in a T-shirt that said “Hate to brag, but I’m pure blooded [obnoxious winky face]”. I don’t know if I’m looking too far into it, but the only 2 contexts I am aware of a bogan sounding, white aussie bloke saying or wearing anything along those lines are either anti-vaxxers (“pure” because they’re unvaccinated), or racists (“pure” because they’re white). He was just generally a dropkick as well, so I don’t have high hopes he didn’t genuinely rock up wearing a racist shirt

      (and even if there’s another, more innocent meaning to it, wearing something like that to work seems very risky. That’s a phrase usually used in reference to race, and I feel like you have a responsibility to not wear anything people may find offensive to work, even if that isn’t your intention.)

          Honestly that’s most of McPeake’s staff. They have the gov contracts for all (or almost all) government owned houses (including the housing commission flats and child protection properties), so they act with immunity. I don’t know whether they’re stuck in a long contract, there’s some kind of kickback system happening, or what, but they do really low quality work

        Look up the phrase ‘diamond pure’ sometime. It’s the technical term for dog shit that’s turned white in the sun. Used to be used a lot for tanning fine leather for bookbinding and gloves. Back in my grandparents day kids could earn pocket money gathering it off the street and selling it to the tanneries. Those ‘pure’ t shirts still give me quiet giggles.

    I’ve run out of the medication I need to function and it was the last repeat.

    Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

    Have tried ringing the private hospital where my doctor works from but they can only send him a message.

    Fuck.

      If you’ve a regular pharmacist I’ve heard they can prescribe you a few days worth to tide you over until the doc sorts a repeat out.

          Hi fellow ADHD person, you’ll be fine it’ll just be a bad day, it’s not the end of the world. Coffee can help, but I know you’ll need insane quantities to make that work and it’ll write off your Monday. So today can be just a “nothing” day for you, go do your hyper focus pleasurable activities / have fun, and you must sort the meds first thing tomorrow.

            That’s actually quite reassuring. I sorted it out but I have to say, I really wish there was some kind of cure for this. I’d take it in an instant.

            Last time I ran out, I think about 2 years ago, I ended up sleeping for about 12 hours lol.

              Lol @ 12 hours sleep, this isn’t one upping it’s just sharing a story: I once went to sleep (not bed) at 2:30-ish AM after being awake for a ridiculous number of hours and woke up and was super confused at it being 1am. I thought the clocks had gone back haha. Those missed calls and msgs… Priceless memories lol.

              Glad you got your meds sorted but I’m intrigued that you would take a cure if one was available. I wouldn’t as I think people wired like us can accidentally change the world 😂

              But oh shit, I haven’t finished the job I started outside and there’s a box cutter sitting there. Should probably sort the groceries first though yah? When did I last pee? Ooo just had an amazing tech idea I should start! Feck, plants need watering. Yay, I did the recycling at some point. I should probably play a computer game. Why is my computer already on?

      I think we need to readjust things a bit to fix that. I propose we all adjust our clocks so that sunrise is an hour later in the day. Who’s with me?

    I’m making friends with the maggies that come here, letting them see my face and dropping a few little treats.

    Sometimes I throw a few pieces of high quality dry cat food (nutritionally complete, high protein and grain free). I had some dried mealworms but unsure where they are. Today I threw some small whole dried fish.

    I don’t give bread or mince, being aware of calcium deficiencies or food getting stuck on beaks. And I don’t give it frequently or in excessive quantities

      I too put out high quality complete cat crunchies if magpies come. 🙂

      And since I put food out for the sparrows and doves last week nearly all the aphids in the terrace garden have been gonned.

        I’ve found that the equinox really kicks off growth in the garden. More than warm weather or wet weather does. I think its the tipping point where daylight hours overtake nighttime hours.
