    Hambam has had enough.

    Took him to the dog park at 9am so not hot it’s now 3pm and he’s been in this state since we got back trying to find new patches of cold floor. Threw 3 balls chased them well enough, then he wandered off chasing another dog so had to go get him, twice (he doesn’t care if you call him back, just in his own world). All up about a 3km walk. Intensity of the walk out of 10 would be a 1.

    I love him.

    He’s hopeless.

    He gets a lot of compliments.

    But he’s hopeless.

    Heart of gold so he deserves a good life.

      I got a new dog recently (not a puppy). He is even more stupid than my previous dog, and that says a lot. I didnt know it was possible for a dog to be entirely uncoordinated. Hopeless doesnt begin to describe him.

      He is the very best boy.

    I’m making a cherry tart to take to my sister’s place for dinner tonight. It uses 1kg of cherries, but I still have tons left in the freezer. How one little tree so badly attacked by cherry slugs that every year I expect it to die can produce such abundance I do not know.

    Finally found a gap in the packing/unpacking/cleaning schedule to redye my hair. Feel a zillion times better for not being a faded out drab! The grey eyebrow bits still have much to answer for.

      that one time i decided to dye my eyebrows at the same time, just a gentle smear of dye , right?

      half an hour later I looked like groucho marx

      after I finished my hair I got to work on forehead and eyebrows, I got it all off but it was so red from all the rubbing ( stop laughing ), was so embarrassed to go out

      i just pencil them in now

        If you ever do decide to tint them again, the 1000 hour one has worked well imo. I’ve used other dyes and they all turn out way too bold.

        First one I played was like a dragon. Did 0 decently, finished Kiwami and infinite wealth (so good)

        Not sure if I can manage all the old ones.

        My son played them all and digs them.

        I’m a huge fan of the main characters.

        Got a soft spot for Ichiban

    I’m stuffed being out late arvo/evening, saw a movie with some of my favourite people! I have much to ponder, the movie was extremely awesome and thought-provoking!

    I have a big day with the fam tomorrow in the SE. Gonna give dad those photos for him to scan with his scanner. He was stoked! He just forgot to reply and I so overreacted 😅 so it will be good to try and date the photos with him, based on my age, and location!

      I dreamt that I crashed at an old friend’s place and woke up to her cooking breakfast listening to Bauhaus while dressed all the way goth’d up. I was thinking in the dream if I should mention how good her breasts looked with the corset, bolero and little mesh covered cleavage window they created. The girl and I were friends 15 years ago but drifted, we had an honest friendship where such things weren’t inappropriate, she was doing a science PhD.

      Then I changed dream channels and went back to school as mature age, and an uppity Indian mean girl gave me shit for my daggy backpack but it turned out that she was my Indian friend from high school’s kid so I snitched to him about his kid being a brat. I’d also bought new boots and class was being held on tablets with rainbow lead pencils for notes.

      Dreams hey.

    My cherry tart is complete, now I just have to work out how to get it safely to my sister’s place. I’m also not sure if it is going to be safe to take it out of the tin - the filling rose a bit high and has stuck to the sides a bit, trying to remove it could lead to a total collapse. At least the jar of vanilla custard should be stress free.

      Leave in tin for transport - then get someone else to remove it from the tin so it’s their fault if it collapses.

      Cut in half, put half in a container and the other half in your belly.

      Problem solved….

      Leave it in the tin during transport. Put on plate when ready to serve.

    I keep refreshing the BOM app thinking 29.3C at 11pm must be an error :| fuck me. So grateful for air-conditioning.

    Really glad I took a break from fieldwork today, just chilling at home all day - although I’ll have to go out during midday again tomorrow - and then a full day of work fieldwork on Tues and Wed 🥵

    I have Done Moomba.

    A couple of rides, watched the Birdman Rally, watched some wakeboarding, ate some ice cream…I’ve had a lovely time, but am ready to not move for the rest of the day

      What about the most important part? The Labour Day march by our unions with their historic banners?

      This is the true meaning of Moomba. A distraction from Labour Day and union ideals and participation . Moomba was set up by Melbourne business associations

    Last bougie breakfast for the hams today. Kibble w/ egg and basil topped with some parmesan lol. Actually ate the basil.

    Probably the most polite dog I’ve met with food. Set it down in front of him and he just stands there for a minute looking at you wondering what the catch is.

    Here he is wondering if there are seconds (hopefully vid works this time):
