5 minute sketch whilst putting off doing food shopping.
The new footstools are a touch small for a cat bed, but Miss Meow is giving it her best shot
The contrast of her black fur against the pink lining almost looks 'shopped. Look at that cute bundle!

I broke the connecting strap of my little shoulder bag 🙁
As today is a chill day before footy tonight, I’m venturing out for a new one
Thank you all for voting in the f&c vs. home salmon competition. Your input was greatly appreciated in assisting with this monumental decision. Strong start for the f&c party but some very compelling arguments for home salmon later in the day. I was changing my mind every 5 mins. My entire ethics and personality were at stake…
However, i regret to betray everyone’s enthusiasm and inform you all that out of nowhere a third, unexpected candidate appeared about an hour into my salon experience and increasingly gained on the others despite a complete lack of campaigning. In the end, for the reasons outlined below, I went with this reliable third party.
The winner: fish curry and calamari masala from MKS Spices.
please find below my reasoning for this upsetting result
- Haircut got delayed by halfa.
- Google maps showed a 30 min plus drive back and the f&c wasn’t going to stay fresh.
- Didn’t want to eat at the shop and get full whack of traffic.
- But also increasingly convinced I didn’t want to cook tonight after waiting so long. Wanted to eat as soon as I got home and not have to brave my local overstimulating shops. Did not want to clean up oil etc after frying salmon. Got started on an ebook that I wanted to get back to straight away.
- Developed craving for spice due to unexpected pangs of comfort-seeking.
- F&c is everywhere but MKS-style food is few and far between. Unlikely I’d go for weeks.
- MKS was just a 4 min drive away and didn’t add much to my overall travel time.
- Remembered I needed to buy frozen green chillies anyway.
- Bought like 3 meals worth of food (sans rice) for like $25
- Had leftover rice at home
- Bonus: got to buy some fresh string hoppers to eat over the weekend (definitely not easy to get anywhere else near town).
thank you and please enjoy your respective dinners. 🍽️ 🍛 🍲
I feel cheated!
Glad you were able to stock up though. 🙂
Yes, I grabbed some frozen cluster beans as well (I always have a craving for this but you can’t ever get it fresh here). All in all a good outcome. Next two weeks will be busy so f&c remains an option then.
out of nowhere a third, unexpected candidate appeared
boo
This is the equivalent of if Pauline Hanson unexpectedly won the federal election somehow at the last minute
No, it’s the Greens goddammit! Pauline wouldn’t put up with curry. She’s the original f&c proprietor
Trying my hand at digitising the slides from Nepal from 1998/9 on the cheap.
Basically 1970’s high end german projector (with its original bulb!) showing slides on a white wall in the living room… piccys / slides originally taken by a 1980’s olympus analog cam then taking a photo with my pretty ordinary dslr.
Actually surprised it doesn’t seem like the worst idea.
looks great on my screen
New attitude makes work a lot better.
While I’m there I’m in the zone. Then I’m done.
Nice and easy.
That’s great to hear. I am glad. I hope the new joint is working out better too.
I’ve had a couple of long days and have done four days in the office but that’s actually helped my put it down after work. And finally starting to feel that work life split again. Stopped and stared at the water for a bit on the way home. Baby steps.
Baby steps ❤️
I’m in such a good mood tonight and there’s a vanilla slice and a cuppa waiting for me. 🙂
yay and yum 🙂
right, that’s it. today’s over. Everyone go home.
The bed and bedside tables have now been picked up. The dining chairs and Miss Meow’s new cat trees are in the van as well, I’m going to pack as much other stuff as I can around all that to take up tomorrow.
The mop to go with the mop bucket arrived today, so I’m all set to give the floors a quick once over to remove whatever dust has settled. The carpets can get a quick vacuum on a later visit.
good luck with rest of the move
Long ass day.
The extended cat family and the fluffy freeloader have been fed.
Maybe I get to eat now?
they look so healthy and their fur so silky
you must be feeding them the best food there is 🐱
another thing, I bet they are keeping the local mouse population down 👍
Ants 🐜 🐜🐜
Ant music 🐜🎶
unplugs jukebox
Do us all a favourrrrr.
Well, I’m standing here, what do I see?
A big nothing threatening me( hangs head in old age embarrassment ) I have the original LPs from when they were first released
the syncopation is pretty cool
Don’t be embarrassed, I like Adam and the ants haha! I think it’s a banger of a song!
I’m just old is all …lol
I can actually remember watching Bandstand from the youngest age https://nostalgiacentral.com/music/music-on-film-and-tv/bandstand-australia/
in black and white
I have a love hate relationship with ants
I do not want them in my house and spent the first 2 weeks in the new place battling invasions
but I do want them in my orchids as they have a symbiotic relationship with orchid living funguses , a symbiosis that nurtures growth and flowering
it’s fun but they have such serious looks on their faces
Marning all
Mood
I wonder what the food’s like in the conclave. I’m thinking a choice of 3 pastas, 3 sauces, carvery, soft serve etc. A bit like Smorgy’s.
All you can eat Chinese buffet
With copious amounts of red wine and a fortune cookie
i think they probably get food delivered to their private rooms
they must have huge kitchens at that place, like a palace , it’s both a workplace and a home to hundreds
Tv dinner it is.
Probably not current information.
Ribs!!!
I was thinking this last night. Do they keep it super simple and palatable? Lots of countries and palates to represent … not sure if they get a ham and cheese sandwich and a juice box for lunch?
Not on Fridays. They bring in spag marinara on Fridays.
Maybe lasagne and garlic bread on the side. Everyone loves lasagne. Also they must ALL eat the garlic bread.
Whatever it is the nun’s will be busy.
I was wondering that yesterday, too. I reckon something deluxe, because cardinals
Maybe they have their own personal chefs 🤔
If you want my vote, I’m gonna need caviar and some crackers to go with and some decent house wine.
I think they just provide water and wait a bit.
😂
it’s oodie time ☃️
Was just thinking I’ll need to bust mine out this weekend. I’m loving being able to get all cosy and cuddly again
May harvest (!).
Throwing a habs in dins tonight which I’ll probably regret. Because the watering system has been off for a bit they could be a bit hawt.
