Got out for a swim this morning and goddamn it felt amazing. Boyo and I are now proper zonked though!
Got busy last weekend making a window panel for my portable AC. Current me is grateful for past me.
After this, I never want to eat jelly, custard or ice cream again.
Don’t forget the salt rinse!
So the praying mantis is still hiding in my studio. I believe it’s a male and I don’t have the heart to tell it its head could be devoured upon sexy time. If it were smart it should get a little mantis helmet.
It is doing a wonderful job with flies though.
He’s now your pet. He needs a name.
I’m gonna call him Sir Climbsalot.
3rd migraine in a week, not pleased , will just try to sleep and rest it off
Ugh! I don’t migraine (I think?) but my sinuses are hell. Tight as band around the temples etc
Ugh, rest up friend. Random migraines are the worst.
Me too, and I was only just recovering from the last five-day effort. It’s the stormy weather triggering me today I reckon.
reciprocal hugs 😢
And just like that, the zonk begins.
Edit:
The zonk is contagious
After spending big money on the recent bike service they still didn’t fix the puncture I brought it in for. If I need to replace the tyres I’m going to get the very sensible Schwalbe Marathons instead of these temperamental and expensive racing tyres
After spending big money on the recent bike service
It’s a ripoff. I was shocked with my last one years ago (was $400 and I’m not even sure what they did). I just do it myself these days w/ the help of YT. Not for everyone but once you do it once it’s easy.
I love YT for demonstration videos
Shout out to Pilpel for making one of the nicest taramasalata dips I’ve ever had I think. I will even forgive them for putting ‘DAIRY FREE’ and ‘GLUTEN FREE’ on the label. Had some on buttered bread and more on some lettuce leaves. Mega delicious - they’ve got the balance of fish roe and lemon juice just right. Seriously moreish.
I’ve heard their hommus is pretty good too. I’ll have to try the taramasalata one of these days
taramasalata dips
I’ve never heard of that. Will have to give it a go!
The standard recipie is salted fish roe (any sort), bread soaked in water, and lemon juice blitzed up with some olive oil. Dip comes out pinkish and creeeeaamy and loaded with umami. Lovely as a dip, or an emergency pasta sauce. Easy to get wrong, bloody delicious when done right. Would go OK with paprika on top I reckon.
Ugh. So sick of my weeping face… it’s sloooowly getting better but this hot weather is pretty hard. Cursing myself and my nighttime stupidity every day. Everyone starting work early Monday and Tuesday in order to finish early. I can’t because school run. So I’ve got Monday off that I know of because there’s no point in them having me go in for a couple of hours. Possibly Tuesday as well. Nice but need the moolah. So between cursing myself and being skint I’m a miserable bitch lol. Going to look at animal pictures 😄
Sending hugs and animals pictures!
Love me some beans 😍
hugs, it will get better
It will, I’m just impatient and a bit depressed
hugs I really feel for you going through this.
Thanks mate 🥹
Very pleased it’s not as hot as it it was meant to me. Thank you weather gods
Super surprised by the possible thunderstorm forecast this afternoon
Saw that. I swear their forecasts are becoming less accurate from further out but there’s probs data there to prove me wrong.
There is some kind of association with very hot days and sudden/unpredictable mini storms in Melbs if I recall from some post someone did about this a while back on the other site. Inversion layer or something. Same thing that happened on Monday
I rewatched episode 4 of The Pitt as well before going into episode 5. The real-time format makes it hard to watch week by week as I’d forget the patients but damn it’s so heavy sometimes that you really do need a break between episodes. Again, very unusual for me normally to re-watch an episode so soon but it’s so well made that I was glued to the screen the whole time revisiting everything. And I really couldn’t stop crying over the bit with the siblings and their elderly father, especially the sister. 😭 It is really good tv. I suspect near the end of the season I’ll end up re-watching the whole thing from the start. I love so many of these characters
Sometimes I just want to shave my head.
No matter how much I vacuum, it’s like Tim from Demtel.
Heh. My rather colourful hair is often proof the cleaners at work aren’t doing that
Hilarity from the Other Place. No you should not ask your Ex to use a clone a Willy kit! Reminds me of the running bet I had with myself about how many pages into a thesis by a male sculpture student I could get without finding a replica of their cock.
How would you know if it’s the artist’s own schlong?
They say so
Self portraits have a long history in the arts - no modelling fees is the main attraction I suspect.
Lol. Picture not actual size
One I recall distinctly broke the line between Art and Non consensual kink involvement very very badly.
I have a strong distaste for nonconsentual exhibitionism. Maybe I’m a touch prudish, but keep it to yourself or goto a sex event. I did security at sex events years ago, that’s the place for it.
Very much so! That dude installed a piece on the floor. If you know events you know how out of ok that was.
woke up hungry at 6, had breakfast and went back to sleep
now out for a second breakfast and a tiny shop (no it is not tiny i am getting a dozen eggs)

Thank you. I am now rich.
I’m out watering the garden at the moment.
Well, I am relocating and timing the sprinklers as necessary, patting the dog, listening to birdsong and drinking my morning coffee.
Ooh, I have to remember to soak the hydrangeas. Thanks!
My front sprinklers are on the fritz. I had to water half of my front yard by hand! Oh well. I had to do the naturestrip anyway.
It was a nice morning to hand water
