Thanks everyone for the kind words yesterday. It really means a lot ❤️
Edit: This is the vibe at my house right now
I was up a few times last night coughing and miss kitty is still curled up in her igloo not talking. I think I interrupted her beauty sleep
I get the dirtiest looks when I dare get out of bed to get to the bathroom lol
“forgive me Gibson, the treat slave will be quieter next time” lol
It’s my last day with sox, and I feel sad that I must peel myself away to go work on the thesis of doom. Rather than spend a goblin mode day with her cuddled up on the oodie watching dumb shit and tossing snacks around the room for her
I demand another piccy of sox!
Since you demanded so nicely, here’s a couple of blurry mediocre shots from last night when I got home late and was crouched on my knees on the couch, which was an invitation for sox to jump onto my back and park herself there for a minute
a world-first for this feline
she loves everyone:
I have extricated myself from the warm cocoon of bed and am staring blankly at a screen but I promise to get some more pics tonight.
eee! clever sox.
she is such an adorable silly billy. I am not sure she is very smart though. She needs a bit of coaching when it comes to “run after the snack” games.
Seconded!
Perhaps she will be back soon 😔
It depends a lot on her human who is… Kind of flaky tbh. He’s got a good heart but his life is in a bit of a shambles of his own creation atm. At a crossroads where I think he’s very tempted to sell up what he has and float around; sox is the only real commitment he has tying him to one place…
If it came to it, I’d seriously consider adopting her but not for quite a while yet as I intend to end my lease and put my stuff in storage for a bit while I figure myself out before I come back and have more of a plan for how to secure my own home (if it’s at all possible).
aw, you’ll see her again 😘
I have returned from the market.
The very handsome dude who sells me salami (this is not a euphemism, stop laughing) has grown a beard, and is even more absurdly attractive now
Just went to a local shopping centre and got my fix of food court Chinese food, love it. Also unashamedly purchased a pair of Kmart trackies for each family member. They are unfortunately all the same shade of darkish grey ($8). Hey, the men’s cheap trackies are cheaper, thicker and warmer, and come in more serviceable colours than the ones in the women’s section, so 4 pairs of men’s trackies in varying sizes it was. I am a bogan.
Better to be warm and comfy!! What’s your go to plate? I’m a sucker for a sweet n sour pork, but my local place does a bangin’ beef satay.
I usually go black bean beef and either honey chicken or sweet and sour pork 🤤
I’ve donned the grey trackies everywhere at the moment. We can both be bogans lol
Reminds me I could use some more trackies, hope they’re not too tight, I like them a little bit baggy.
They’re a relaxed fit on my, err, relaxed shape. It’s just getting the right size and not being too fussy about the colour.
I forgot which store I looked at last when I was looking for trackies and they were quite tight and slim fitting which I really hate.
Can’t remember if it was K mart or big W
I got these
The last time I went to BigW they weren’t as good as I remember. Not sure what size you’d need but my 11yo Miniest takes XS, Elder 13yo takes S, my fat ass takes M, and Mr P takes 2XL. They had up to 4XL that I saw. Mr Ps Mum also wears them because they are roomy enough in the caboose to fit her incontinence pants.I’ll check them out when I go shopping this week after I get paid.
Do they have elastics at the bottom of the legs?
Took a pic of Miniest’s pants to show you what the waist and one of the leg cuffs looks like:
Thanks for the pic
I’ll have to try them before I buy them. Not too keen on the leg cuffs
Not to mention proper pockets. I see nothing wrong with any of this and consider it a good day
Yesss, decent pockets that you can actually fit your phone into ftw!
Grey or black trackies, black hoodie, a chain, and an earring. This is the outfit of 15-18 year old boys who roam the local shopping centre and wanna be eshays hehe
Lol I’m doing 3 out of 4 of these 😆
My new Kmart trackies have been putting in work 🙏
The drumkit has many, many boxes.
She’s given up the throne for a box?!
She’s in box heaven right now lol. All new places to hide and randomly attack my leg when I walk past haha
In there somewhere is our potatoes
Hope you’ve got long tongs
Hahaha. Yeah. We professionals.
This looks like perfection!!! HELL YES!
Happy Winter Solstice
It contains Bailey’s with a hint of coffee.
I think the hot drink might be getting a bit too hot in that second photo.
That hot drink was just to put a lining on my stomach before I hit it hard.
Wooo brewery all sorted and bagged out with dust sheets for the back wall repoint…looks like a fuggen murder dungeon now.
We both have very black senses of humour so i’ll keep the running commentary to the family
Excellent!
I barter with a friend for his brew. I cook food. He pays with beer. I rate his beer. His name is Beer Dave.
this sounds like an excellent trading relationship 👍
btw, i think murder dungeons, the good ones, are tiled.
Soon we shall have basement brewery with a section for my maceration and distilling and also a pickle shelf. For pickles.
Shit! The farts in your house will be eye watering.
I haven’t even told you about the sauerkraut crock
There is a sound that no matter where I am or what I’m doing in the house I recognise it in a millisecond:
The cat hocking up a hairball.
Also it feels like 8pm and it’s only 6…
Atleast you get a warning. My dog coughs once and then out it comes.
Bill is a silent chucker in the night.
And is why I always put the light if I get up to go to the loo.
Aldi $4, 400g lasagna review:
spoiler
Yeah pretty good.
I read this as $4,400 lasagne. Which would be some lasagne.
The bigger 8 dollar ones are pretty good too!
yup, aldi dinners are ok 👍
Winter Solstice and Pokemon Community Day! Hooray for Saturday!
I’m off to the market. Does anyone have any requests?
Hot jam donuts please.
🥠🥠🥠🥠🥠 🔥
Thank you
10cc’s of motivation please
🔋
Perfect!
Fruit platter please
🍎 🍌 🍓 🍉
Thank you!
Two fancy cheeses please 🥺
🧀 🫕
So apparently there’s “crumpet toast”. With butterscotch chips in it.
I just made some, and it’s the business
Looks like regular bread?
Crumpet toast is like stale bread x a kitchen sponge but when you toast it and add butter, all the butter soaks in and it’s divine.
Texture is a bit different. Plus, as noted, butterscotch
Woah. This interests me greatly.
Found it in Woolies, so it’s apparently not a specialty product
Thanks
Is anyone else gonna have a bonfire tonight and howl at the moon?
Fire in the loungeroom, safely contained in a flued cast iron box? Why yes, i am.
If by bonfire you mean heater then yes!
😂
That’ll do. I don’t make the rules. 👍
I bonfired early, on Thursday and Friday. Tonight might be indoors with the central heating on. And a small howl or two.
this solstice sun is so glary I had to come home from the beach and was then struck with a migraine
i’ll live
Feel better soon :)
