fell asleep on sofa before I finished cleaning up after dinner
nearly done now, just waiting for floor to dry
my life is so excitement …lol
Goodnight all ❤️
Night Gibbsy 😺
Grave of the Fireflies is on Netflix.
I don’t know if I can face complete emotional destruction on a Tuesday night
Yeah, save that for a non-work-tomorrow day so you can ugly cry
I don’t know what dinner is going to be, but it will be hearty and full of veggies. That description fits almost everything in my freezer
Pasta?
So there’s three people in my team. The good one is leaving. Which leaves the one who is honestly like dealing with a child.
Ah well.
My performance review went great though!
Tonight’s mood booster is some peri peri mock-chicken strips bought on a whim yesterday. I shall throw a zucchini in there for helth, and half an onion, and… idk. Eat it with rice… cooked in broth! With cloves and cardamom! (I highly recommend the latter for really elevating even the simplest rice dish.)
Also just remembered I stress-bought frozen dumplings last night. I’m set for lunch tomorrow, woohoo!
cardamom
Any time people go heavy on cardamom I is always a fan.
I use it in pasta dishes too. so good.
And don’t throw out the pods, so much flavour in those too.
I pooped by Aldi to grab a loaf of bread and saw this.
Not an egg in sight. Is it really that bad right now?
I buy mine from the local grocer, they’ve always got stock. Not the cheapest but not hideously expensive either
ahem eggspensive
No eggs at my Coles.
I wouldn’t have eggs-pected that.
Eggshellent pun.
Well eggsecuted.
You guys have left me all seriously eggshausted.
Oh, you’re just eggsaggerating
I pooped in the woods a few times. They didn’t have eggs either.i lodged a complaint with manager.
Well at least they have logs now.
yes, eggs were 11.50 at woolies, I didn’t get any. A chook to roast was 30, didn’t get one.
I think you meant popped. I hope you meant popped.
I get eggs from IGA. There’s always heaps.
Home sweet home. I’m going to throw some laundry on and crack a bag of Doritos
Christmas tree arrived. Woo.
I love Christmas trees. 🙂🌲
tell us all about it, how tall, what colour, what type of tree 🌲🙂
Uh yeah, the theme this year is “Dark Matter” so had to get a fake tree this time because I need black. A 7 foot black Bavarian. Disco balls, laser light and so on will be involved. It’s a massive day for me.
This was last year:
so no pixies, squirrels or glass santa decorations then
Uh no. Not this year. it’s a void of space with blinding points of light aesthetic. Pretty straightforward but, I’m excited to see what I can do with the disco ball reflective properties
Next year, the squirrels are a definite possibility as it will be more of a pagan/midsommar theme. Skin, bone, fur, blood and so on.
Somebody’s ready early!
My checklist is extensive
Phew, made it home before the porch pirates struck! They’d have been disappointed as it’s all cake decorating stuff, but I need neither the headache nor duplicate expense. Fuck I hope this party goes to plan.
Since all the cool kids are flexing their clivias…
Doxxing capacity maximised… 👀 beautiful part of Melbourne to be in though that’s for sure.
Now I’m getting images of a masked bandit digging up my clivias at 3am.
don’t laugh, garden theft happens all the time around Carlton
A woman I used to work with lived in Kew in a very nice street with a lot of very nice neighbours - included politicians and captains of industry. Her agapanthus bed kept getting raided by plant pirates. She tucked a placard at the back of the bed saying Smile! You’re On Candid Camera! Raids stopped. I mean, who nicks agapanthus?
maybe they were dwarf white agathaspants
Nope, just the regular blue ones. Like, so so ordinary. Why would anyone bother to nick them? I’m still scratching my head over that one.
wow , they are so beautiful . Your whole garden is beautiful. 😭
Thanks :) Honestly the whole thing really took off when I put the watering system in (wasn’t even expensive). I am now a true believer that regular watering on a timer does wonders.
mm, nom nom, the taste of turps. I just finished cleaning all the old wax and polish off my old sewing machine drawers. I did it outside but still 😝
I don’t think I’ve seen a more blatant example of main character syndrome than seeing real estate agents putting themselves into videos showing the house they’re selling.
And I don’t mean talking about the house. They’re in the video sitting on the couch or opening the door to enter with all this dramatic music playing, or staring out from the balcony all reflective and stuff.
Good lord.
They know they add no actual value to the house, so they need validate themselves by adding perceived value.
I’ll have to see if I can find it but I remember seeing one near my place where the person (not sure if agent or owner) was sitting in the bath tub, topless on the bed (facing away). Absolutely bizarre behaviour
Graffiti ?
“Hey look how nice I dress and my expensive haircut and shoes! That’s how you know it’s a good idea to buy a house from me!” - real estate agents, probably
“See this shiny German car I’m leasing for far more than I afford?..SEE IT?”
For some reason we don’t see those big signs with pics of the agents anymore. 🤷♀️
They also wear shitty suits.
Their tailors hate them too
Tailors? You mean Tarocash and Peter Jacksons salespeople.
I stepped outside for a few minutes to enjoy the lovely sunshine. I’m now considering surgical removal of my sinuses, possibly with a stanley knife.
Yay spring.
One more assignment to do and that’s another 2 units down. I wanted to get it done this week but I have to wait for the results of my previous assignment which release on Monday to do it because I need to use the feedback I received.
It gives me one week to get it done. It’s only 800 words but I like having assignments done with time to spare…just in case so one week is giving me the twitches.
