    What are the best hot cross buns that money can buy? I’m enjoying this brioche choc chip variety from Woolies but thinking there must be better.

      Cannibal Creek Bakehouse in Garfield. Just a short Vline trip for the Melbournites. Wood fired brioche buns are to die for.

      I’ve had some damn nice ones at gourmet bakeries, but there’s none near me and also expensive for regular consumption. If it’s between Coles, Woolies and Bakers delight, Bakers is the best for sure.

      I like the standard fruit and also choc chip. I’m not a puritan and occasionally try the other flavours. If you are feeling exceptionally brave I saw pizza shapes flavoured buns at the supermarket. It’s gone too far. Why. Just why.

    Back from my first day and oh my god I’m SO tired making an 8am start. Despite hitting the snooze button several times and leaving considerably later than I thought. And everyone else starts at 7 😵‍💫 with plenty of people having longer commutes than me. I’ll get used to it.

    I was a bit too out of it today take in everything with it all happening so fast, but it was a good first day. Being at a depot does mean it’s still very testosterone heavy but not my immediate manager which makes a huge difference. My team is really friendly and welcoming and open with each other which is awesome.

    I am super glad this is just part time though, I so wouldn’t have the energy for full time hours in such a high contact role. And I’d feel suffocated for sure, no matter how good the workplace was

    Why do companies always go too-fancy when catering for corporate things? I’m not impressed by your ridiculous food which I’d never order.

    Glad I watered all the plants last night. Got 40 seconds of rain today.

    Which means ongoing watering, so back to the watering routine

      Is your dog a mouse hunter? Mine is not, she makes friends with them and even shares her food. When I explain the purpose of the JRT breed to her she wags her tail and gives me a head tilt.

        My old dog used to chase them and catch them outside but if they ever came in she would watch them and look at us as if to say ‘this one is your problem’

      I found squished kraft processed cheese with bacon bits to be irresistible to mice. Check the traps everyday. I once caught dozens of the buggers in my neighbour’s aviary with this method

        Not my jurisdiction. What I can tell you is the traps get washed with soap and loaded up with their own peanut butter. They get checked every day but not by me.

    I’m watching a cute small movie with Kelsey Grammar, Like Father. It’s a nice movie. :)

    But he’ll always be Blinky to me. 🥹

    Its bin day in my estate and not a single one is left standing. Fortunately they were already emptied.

    So tonight I ran into ‘Abbey’, a randomly lost presumably senile border collie on the dog beach path. I went for a swim and it was still there on the way back devoid of an owner.

    She was happily reunited with her human thanks to a lovely lady who had her phone with her called the number on the tag.

    There are good people out there.

    Post art on different platform, nobody’s really that interested. Plus it’d just get scraped by AI. :(

    (I know I should be making it for myself but when you’re depressed and everything’s difficult it’s nice to get a little extra motivation or a bit of a boost from others’ enjoyment.)
