you know what, my wife had actually made a batch of pho stock! She has a cheats recipe that is actually pretty passable…

salmon and eggs on toast for brekkie. dogs walked. market marketed. fire going. soup bubbling away. roast veggie lasagne baking. feeling pretty satisfied that I can just…potter around for the rest of the day.

as a lesbian, I agree.

oh, wait…

Do I need to clean the house? Audiobook.

Otherwise? book.

read that as “damn, honey” at first, thought you were getting sassy.

I switched from Gmail (and Nord VPN) to using the proton suite of tools. Much happier.

just tried guzman y gomez for the first time, and I am full of regret and resentment.

Am listening to Mushroom Case daily.

Anyone got an equivalent podcast for the Diddy trial? Stuck at home for a while, need trashy entertainment…

oh. oh.

I love my mum, a lot, but whenever we soend time together, something builds up between us until she explodes in a tirade of telling me all the things about me that she dislikes. Could take months, could take years. After hearing it all enough times, I finally decided it’s easier to just to remove the problem of spending time together to free her up to spend it with people whose company she actually enjoys. Much better for my mental/emotional health.

Thanks for the hugs :)

I knew, because there was deeply traumatic period of time when Australians of some renown were doing it in public - like swimmers at the olymoics, etc

I too have just learnt about vesak day. V interesting!

My Dad has a family that visit him, and have been known to wander into the house and ask for food. They also bring their fledglings to visit each season. It is super, super cute to see my gruff old Dad chatting away to his magpies. The old softy keeps insects for them.

ETA: a family of magpies, not just, like, a random family who wander in asking for food…

40. Way better than expected.

opened my front door today, and a maggie was outside my front gate. It was completely unfussed by my ratbag younger dog losing his shit at the sight of a magpie, and instead proceeded to tease/warble at him through the fence. It was very cute.

I dont really speak to my mother anymore. tonight, for the first time in several decades, I got a little baked, chilled by the fire and then decided not to worry about Mothers Day at all…
