    I was sleeping at the time but I’m sad to to bring this news to everyone.

    My grandma has passed away, only a couple of hours ago. She passed away peacefully from what I’ve been told.

    I don’t know how I feel about things yet. Looks like be taking more time off from work after I get over this sickness.

    Stopped the car at the zebra crossing by South Melbourne Market and who happens to cross in front of the car but my ex, that ex, the one who never spoke to me again. My initial thought was WTF and then my heart did that pain thing it does and then I got teary eyed and then I felt completely okay about it. It didn’t give me this burning desire to talk to her, it didn’t make me miss her, it just reminded me of the pain she caused me and then I moved on. Also to note I was not driving. lol. Thank god.

    My chicken wings

    Top: sweet and sour bottom: baharat (7 spices).

    They were good. I think.

    I know there’s bad shit going on in the world right now and I’m not trying to be funny but I just finished a coffee and I couldn’t taste it. I just prepared chicken wings, I can’t smell any spices. I’m fucking dirty. Of all the things that can be taken from me why did it have to be food. I’ve added extra chilli to the chicken wings and am contemplating tasting the Carolina Reaper paste the man raves about. I may regret that later on. I’m desperate.

    Please send me pet pics, other people’s pet pics, wildlife to cheer me up. Most appreciated in advance.

      It was my dogs 7th birthday the other day. Here she is with her chicken cake topped with cat treats and the rubber chicken that she killed within 20 seconds of receiving it.

      Try quick sharp inhales, orange peel or curry in particular. It might give you a little burst of smell and it’s comforting to know that part of you still works.

    I just read an article promising to tell me 11 things I did not know I could wash in the washing machine. They failed to have even one thing I did not know. Damn clickbait.

      Did you know you can wrap a piece of salmon up in alfoil, chuck it in with your clothes, run a delicate cycle, and voila! Perfectly cooked salmon every time

          Many years ago Peter g’day Russel g’day Clarke cooked a bunch of stuff in a B-double truck engine. Have later seen other variants of the idea, all bad.

        I’m not sure what we’re reading here. Is anyone else sure super sure about about this approach to cooking fish. Is it the dishwasher or washing machine.

        I’ve heard you can cook it in the engine as you drive, too. Wrapped in tinfoil on top of the engine, arrive at destination and dinner is done!

      #5 Don’t wash your fruit and vegetables in there with your smelly socks

          You risk the fruit and veg suiciding against the drum. Tomatoes wouldn’t stand a chance with my man’s socks.

            Tomato juice is actually amazing for removing smells

        The best method is to place the fruit and veg iniside the socks rather than washing them seperately, to provide protection to the fruit whilst saving on water.

    Bringing Dad up to moama seems to have been a good choice. I’m up $1000. Grabbing a lime thickshake and a ham & cheese toastie for lunch. Pretty good day.

      You might be up $1000 but bringing you up he’s like down a few $100k.

    Down 0.4kg. I probably shouldn’t have eaten that whole pizza last night. I tried to only eat half, but they’re just so good you can’t stop. 😥

    The trip up to Sydney was mostly good. The hotel was kind of shit and sydneysiders confuse my brain, but I find myself very disappointed with our transport system. We do buses and night network better than they do, but they didn’t privatise (most of) their public transport network, and it is very clearly reflected in the way things are run. They haven’t sacked everyone to run things as cheaply as possible, you can actually find their customer service people, although the media has painted all the union strikes as if they’ve gone and set the trains on fire or something, the conditions they unions have won very clearly reflect in the happiness and well-being of their public facing staff. All the guards and customer service people are very friendly and actually try to help

    I’m still going to call them Shitney, because like, I’m legally obligated to hate them as a melburnian, but Sydney now holds a special place in my heart, PT wise
