New band audition Friday!
Goodnight all ❤️
She is definitely plotting something!
We ran out of her favourite cat food so she had to slum it with a cheaper one.
I’m a dead man…
I experimented making a cola drink tonight. Yesterday I had to make a thing called browning syrup for it, because it’s hard to buy Parisian essence these days, (and Parisian essence these days is just colour 150). Today I made the actual cola syrup and it’s cooling and developing in my fridge. I always thought cola was made out of cola nut, and maybe it once was, but according to wiki it’s made of lots of different things like citrus peels, star anise, cinnamon, vanilla, cardamon and other spices. Huh, TIL. The Minipeelers were keen for me to make Nuka Cola from the Fallout Cookbook Elder got for his birthday. Surprisingly it tastes like cola! Plus I saw the soda stream pepsi syrup at the stupormarket which had a horrific amount of numbered additives. Like, is it even food at this point. And 1.25 litre coke varieties were $4, surely they’re taking the piss at this point! So I made my syrup and couldn’t resist trying it early… you pour it in a glass and top it up with fizzy soda water. We were all pretty amazed. Can’t wait to try it tomorrow with the flavour all finished developing.
That’s so cool. I’ve heard about Open Cola and wanted to make it without caffeine or artificial sweeteners but it seems like a bit of an undertaking!
Let us know how it is
How brilliant. I never would have thought this could be made at home, I just assumed the flavour was artificially made. I’ll have to look up some recipes out of curiosity!
When you’re itchy do you scratch under your clothes or on top?
Definitely under, I hate the feeling and sound of scratching through clothes. And it’s never satisfying. I’ve got a back scratcher for that area.
Depends if I’m out in public or not.
Under, unless it’s in the nether regions. Scratching over clothes makes it worse.
ffs, now I’m itchy.
Nits nits itchy scalp nits
Under. No matter what lol
Yep same. I use a back scratcher.
I start out on top but then I get under and really scratch the skin 😬
Depends if it’s an itchy bum
Cheeks under. Crack over.
First day of school today.
Classes were boring. Hopefully the ones later this week will be better. People were interesting. So was getting lost on a new campus.

I’m so torn on what to do with careers. I know I’m never stuck, but there’s that part of my mind that needs an answer. Do I get a generalist job, that will teach me many skills but might not allow me to make the impact I want, or do I do more study, having wanted to do well in the past, but failed to live up to my potential? One of the many things that have attracted me to teaching is the less apparent corporate greed and not sitting at a desk all day. Although, part of me just wants to “surrender” and get a job so I can GTFO of this house. A job that will mean I won’t have to take work home.
I’ve got my parents and sister in one ear, with one saying don’t do teaching because I’m going to get abused by “shitty kids” and cry and not know what to say when a kid tells me to fuck off. Plus the workload.
I’m going to try living in the present more. See how I go after prac. I am trusting that I will know with time. That’s what always happens. Now it’s time to do some tolerating uncertainty exercises.
My friends who are teachers love their jobs, one primary one secondary. The primary teacher has it tougher, so they switch to being a specialist teacher every couple of years, then back to the classroom for a few. It’s a good career choice and they live a reasonably comfortable life styles as single people.

What do your friends, teachers and classmates say?
10hr day with more urgent desktop stuff to do this evening, but pretty good day out even though I was in a really foul mood in the am after realising either I or someone else fucked up majorly and I started in the wrong location wasting a previous few hours. all good now. I got to see these little cuties too which was lovely.
House looks like a dump, I have a full day out tomorrow plus a bday to go to in the evening, REA comes for inspection on Wed am… guess I’ll try to tidy as much as I can now and do some frentic cleaning early Wed morning.
Prolly should’ve done it on the weekend but oh well!
Gibsons got some special treats and is sitting in her cat tree.
I’m on the couch with a fancy pizza and my new favourite drink, gatorade.
Peaceful and daggy.
Perfection.
Any Severance fans also seen Dollhouse? 'Cos goddamn.
Yuppp
When I went looking at houses in Seaholme I went to the beach too and found some pieces of coral. Seems there are big reefs off the rocks close by. Might be nice to go out and take a look one day. 🙂
here’s the bits I found, it’s a type of pavement coral, common name Green Coral.
Watch out for certain 🔵💍🐙 ! When I was a kid growing up near there they were often seen in those rocky bits there, don’t know about these days though.
😧
I’ll be careful.
My lenovo smart clock fell and the power cable snapped right on the metal barrel. It’s a 20 volt power supply as well so I guess it’s just trapezoidal ewaste now.
Maybe I’ll get one with the wireless charger as ac replacement so I get a bit more convenience out of these things if they’re going to spy on us
Also fake tax time.
Make sure you sing the dango song every time if it’s a thing in this game as well
No canteen yet or food.
Might have to finish a couple of quests before I get access to it.
Bamboo cotton sheets.
I feel like I have to have shower before I have a nap lol
The AFL really needs to get its shit together.
To allow the opening game to happen with the cyclone over in QLD is pure insanity as much as I want to see my team play.
Move the opener to round 3 where the bye for the teams are or move it locally and tell people early so that they don’t make a dangerous trip to Brisbane.
Anyway that’s my rant for the day.
Yes, they should move that game to round 3. But also what even is this half-arsed ‘opening round’ nonsense? Just play a normal round of footy.
It’s so stupid. Just make it round one for starters and maybe have a game in Melbourne.
They think they’re capitalising on the NRL being away in Vegas.
ETA for afternoon tea: 15 mins. Iced fruit bun, highly anticipated yummyness.
Edit: yumminess aquired.
ended up purchasing that campervan over the weekend. Gotta wait a couple of weeks to pick her up cause they towing folks have a bit of a backlog, then will probably empty it, clean it all up check for anything that needs work maybe give it a service and we pick a destination and give it a try!
If you like any good camping spots that work for caravans/campervans let me know. I cant keep going to tidal river all the time.
Closer to home - O’Brien’s Crossing.
Coopers Creek.
Avoid at all costs.
Im seeing mixed things about caravans and campers. A few people suggestion it should be tent only. How do you find it?
I was with a group of seven, we got there early and in winter. A couple of guys came to ask us for some weed and we said no. It was fine.
Full of inconsiderate dickheads quite frankly.
There’s a super secret spot at the end of swan bay. No amenities, probably illegal but people do it anyway. Sun rises over the water which is a nice view.
Turton’s Creek, Bear Gully. I’ll think of more later!
Hell yeah!!!
Nelson at Glenelg River has a great caravan camping ground.
It’s a long way tho.
Right on. Bimbi Park in the Otways is great.
Maybe try some spots along the Murray River. I’m thinking Barmah (red gums) and maybe bits of Hattah-Kulkyne NP. Great birdwatching at both. Bearing in mind that the cold weather isnt too far away now.
hoping to build to that yeah. Starting the wife off with some more “glamping” locations. Probs ensuite sites with power (I know I know, hardly even camping!) but shes been burnt by the proms weather the last couple of times we’ve gone.
My finger had an intimate argument with some bluestone / basalt yesterday whilst moving it. Feeling that today.
Spoke about gravity, savlon and poor judgement. Basalt won.
do you have someone to kiss it better?
Unfortunately finger is single atm :( its other four friends are trying to avoid the same fate which I respect.
