Interested in sewing, gardening and preserving, with a strong focus on sustainability.

Do you have any rancid goat gonads?
Miserable weather for either. I would honestly stay home instead of a trip tomorrow, but if forced out I would choose Ballarat. It will be a touch colder in Ballarat, but the road in Walhalla can be a bit dangerous and I wouldn’t want to be driving through there in a storm.
Well, that’s the lawn mowing covered!
A large grazing platter please.
The standard roster where I work is 4 days on and 4 days off. Well, sort of, because the second two work days are actually nights and finish at 6am, thus somewhat ruining the first day off (along with your body clock). This also requires working 12 hour shifts, on a rotating roster that means you can’t do anything regularly on set days (or even figure out what day it actually is most of the time).
That is a lot of work. I hope he’s not planning on doing that for long?
I made it through the afternoon by not being at work for it.
A toffee apple please.
Not if they are a condenser dryer, those things are really heavy. Like somewhere around 50kg heavy.
No. After shadowing me all evening I rolled over in bed too often and she has decided to give up and left the room. Hard to get good help these days.
I’ve been away for a couple of nights and now Miss Meow has decided I need her constant supervision.
I think I have the same initial reaction due to bullying, with a particular distaste for teenage girls. But I can attest to the fact that not all kids are disrespectful on PT. Last time I went into the CBD on a train I got on at the same time as a group of school boys. I was prepared for noise and rumbunctiousness, but instead got to over hear them earnestly discussing how to determine when the train had reached the appropriate level of crowding that they should stand up and leave their seats for adults to sit down 🤣
I took Mr Woof to pay our respects to Black Caviar today.
I’ve got mine on a shelf inside the lounge room, so only I get to be dazzled by the light. I put a shower curtain around it to cut it down, but it still glows a lot. I’ve bought some mylar sheets that I will use to line it inside to cut the light further. The shower curtain has a nice forest scene on it and is quite pretty, but still a bit too bright - and the reflective surface will be good for the plants too.
Looking good.
I haven’t planted anything so far - I am probably moving so don’t want to put too much into the garden just to have to leave it behind! I have been doing a lot of sorting, so I’m redoing the indoor seed raising area in preparation for the future. I’ll be getting rid of an old flourescent light and moving to all LEDs, plus I’m upgrading to two heat mats. Hopefully next year I’ll have a permanent garden situation so I can put it to good use.
After a messup with last week’s appointment I finally had my dental implant appointment first thing this morning. I did have to drive to Armadale for it, which sucked because it adds about 30mins travel time and involved driving on tram tracks. Apparently the bone had not regrown enough so instead of the implant I have had a bone graft, and the implant is rescheduled for January. It was a pretty quick procedure, but involves cutting open the gum, filling it with some sort of bone powder and stitching it back up, so it’s going to be a bit hurty for a while. Plus the sensation of stitches in the mouth is never nice. As a positive it kicks the costs a bit further down the road, and the bone graft was bulk billed so no extra cost. I’ve no idea why Medicare pays for some of the dental stuff, but I’m definitely not arguing.
Edit to add: I’m grateful that my insurance has limited ability to roll over unused dental limits into the next year, otherwise the move to January could have pushed the other work I need back a year!
Everything Mexican please.
Cheese, salami and onion.
I think I’ve just decided my lunch plans. Maybe I should go all in and add tomato too?
Nice looking day today, I really need to try and get outside for a bit. I should probably pull some weeds while I’m out there too. Or clean the back paving, it’s gotten quite gunky and slippery.
I received my first ever order from Ali Express yesterday. Their website is quite dreadful to deal with, but I managed to get some thread I’ve been struggling to get from any Australian suppliers. Some sewing needles I bought were not all the right type, and I got a refund without having to return - which is nice, because 4 out of 5 were right, and the others I can use eventually, just not what I wanted.
It is frustrating how expensive sewing notions are in Australia, it is generally much cheaper to buy ready made items than the materials to make it yourself.
