    Hey. Just wanted to say thanks for all the comments yesterday. We’re still in a fragile place but committed and still in love, so hopefully that’ll count for something. Counselling this morning - we’ve been going regularly for a few years now - sometimes it helps, sometimes we don’t talk for a while afterwards. Hoping today will be a productive and considerate session. Anyways, thanks y’all.

    I bought myself a market trolley today. Why did I not arrange this years ago?

      A nanna trolly thing? I’ve had one for years and it has been brilliant. Almost essential purchase for inner-city apartment living.

      It doubles as a normal trolly for boxes and other large things (but not anything crazy heavy) by taking the bag off.

    Some bad shit going down in Bondi Junction. Hate to see that sort of news. At least it seems to be resolving with shoppers being allowed to leave after the centre locked down.

            I’ve got channel 9 on at the moment. They seem to be running coverage about it and probably will for the next few hours.

            I think they said there were 8 injured as well who were taken to hospital.

                I’m not sure. There’s a lot of press conferences happening now.

                They did interview a good number of the public from what seems like earlier recounting all the details of the ideal and what they saw during the event.

      Hate to profile, but the bloke looks like some dero shit cunt (I’m allowed the say that, cunt stabbed a baby the therefore that’s what he is). Anyone wanna put money on he was known to police?!

      We have GOT to do something about mental health in this country. And we’ve gotta stop letting personal freedoms trump your risk to the greater public.

    Today is an incredibly packed Saturday of chores. So many clothes and so much cooking. One item is a hand pounded chilli sambal that is gonna make my weak and flabby arm fall off (not possible to get the shallots right without pounding - mums recipe and I promised I’d make it for a family lunch tomoz). I’m en route to an event I signed up for months ago that I don’t feel ready for but am going to anyway because I gotta live a little too… and I still have car and job things to sort out. Alright, I can do this, I can do this…

    Meanwhile, local incoherent screamy guy has taken to high st today. I am surprised the bougie locals haven’t agitated to have him moved to different housing yet. Unless he has, but he’s decided to come visit.

    Last week there was a different dude up the street yelling at “fucking Belinda you fucking lying cunt”. I suppose that’s why the owners haven’t upped my rent this year… that side of things is mostly quite manageable in the cool weather with the windows closed though.

    I have decided I am going on a holiday at home. Imma just gonna read books and do minimum around the house. There are a dozen antique travel books I haven’t read yet, aka a Baedeker holiday as my Belgian neighbour used to say. The science and stuff books can wait.

    Will have even more frozen food than usual. Might even get a cleaner in.

      Tvsn is the funniest shit on tv. Trying to convince the 3 people watching that they need to be quick to purchase the most ugliest jewellery for a half an hour live on tv is comical.

    wife is away for the weekend, so I am home alone. It’s by choice - I need to catch up on some work, needed some quiet time etc, but am feeling a little melancholy. Went for a long walk in this morning’s beautiful weather. Now feeling a little lost.

    Nothing at all serious - I am perfectly fine, just… having a moment.

    I might need to severely cut down on or leave this other online group due to toxicity. I don’t want to have to. :(

    Feeling miserable and like shit. I wish I wasn’t sick of Minecraft. Maybe I’ll find some singleplayer free game that works on Mac and bury myself in that for a while.

      there is nothing wrong with leaving an online group to find one where you’ll be happier , you haven’t failed

      I’m on a few different groups that are based on tv or books and they are just fun and kind, find some like that. 🤞😘
