Goodnight everyone ❤️

Very hard counselling session today, still glad we're going but it was very difficult. We're both giving each other some space in the house, and I've been listening to Radiohead all afternoon ...sad and confused relationships are hard face

What shit weather we have here guys!

The weekend feels so different lol

So much time! So much to do!

I made a cake. It has slivered almonds on top.

Ted Cat is looking like a full on fluff monster Persian

I've never given a fuck about sport tbh and never understood why people get so worked up and passionate about team sports in particular. Admittedly many sports folk are physically attractive but that's where my interest ends 😆.

Maybe you have to be more inclined to be tribal in nature for team sports in particular.

Was invited to go see a band tonight, but cash is non existent. Soon...

Morning all.
Friend I haven't seen since - geez, since before Mum died - is coming down for a catch-up and to see the new place (and meet the cats).
~~House~~ unit is a bit messy, so I'm trying to motivate myself to get out of bed and start cleaning. A difficult task when Sammi's snuggled into my side.

I was thinking of going out today but weather is a bit awful, eh.

Doggocalhoon coming through with the comfort goods... All albums listened to. Might be time for bed soon.

Went to Crown Gold Class tonight to watch Deadpool & Wolverine.

Jfc, the food there has always been overpriced "shitty cinema food", but now it's absolutely revolting. I had to spit out my first and only bite of the cheese burger, and my partner couldn't eat her margarita pizza as it was more salty than the heavily salted popcorn. Also why did they take nachos off the menu, something it would take a buffoon to fuck up?

The health adventures continue. Joy.

The more expensive trackies arrived but again... I see some sewing in my future

Dammit. One of my washing gloves has a massive gash. :(

No backups either. One handed washing it’ll be for now.

Some days a surface level clean won’t do and today was one of days. Love the feeling of a freshly cleaned house, but none of the steps to achieve it.

Rewarding myself with a cheesy pasta bake and beer.

more boring long tales of adventures in the domestic arts

Some more steps in restoring a pair of antique chairs. Here I have started to strip the old chair seat off, , exposing the springs. I took all of it off, the cover and padding, took out all the tacks, then removed the base and springs. Then I reversed it. Put a new base liner on then sewed the springs back on, then wove new supporting webbing and stapled it on . Put the original kapok padding back on, then a new padding liner, then the tapestry cover. Lastly I will put on a strong fabric liner over the webbing and springs. Nearly done!

I'm feeling like a prison warden with all the keys I have now. I've got 7 keys on my main ring + 2 trolley tokens, a resus shield, and a little knicknack thing the old LT gave me from Indonesia. When I moved in, I was annoyed at having to carry 2 keys around with me

That's it, tonight is pizza night... No energy for much else... couldn't get myself out of bed/couch let alone the house. Had a bit of a think through finances today, and it's been sobering to look at the budget I need to set so I can go down to 4 days a week while also reaching savings goals. But I think I can allow myself a pizza tonight, at least.

Goodnight everyone. 🦇

Peruvian restaurant has been tried (excellent) and friend has decided to head straight to Brunswick to hopefully avoid the worst of the traffic.
Now snuggling with Sammi while Zooki bops around on the newly vacuumed floor.

Patiently waiting for beach volleyball...

RATATATATATA - MY BODY IS A WEAPON!
RATATATATATA - WE'RE GUNNA RAISE A WARRR!

Thinking of all yoooooou, while I’m sweating in 32…

Took the kids to the Tram Museum today. It was a big hit, they just liked climbing up and down the trams. I liked it as someone who didn't grow up in Melbourne I got to learn a bit more about the history of the trams and the tram network.

I also learnt in a video that Melbourne has the largest tram network in the world at 250km of tramline. Whilst it's good to have that title, it doesn't sound like much. We could certainly do more to up those numbers.

Bought an orchid for $10 yesterday. Lost half of its leaves in the car but looks like we can revive it.

Carls Jr Review: Don't worry about it. It is similar to HJs, worse, but similar. I don't mind having gone, but I'm unlikely to go again. Oh and they stooged me with a half full large chips.

MrsGod and I reviewing Gojira at the opening ceremony. First metal band in history to play the Olympics.

One thousand angry imps with knives,
Stab me in the guts from the inside,
Viscera bubbles in their couldron vile,
The crimson wave flows for miles.

Just finished watching Annie (the 2014 one). I really should've started it earlier. I liked it, a lot less sad than I was expecting. Apparently I'm in the minority though, so maybe I should go watch the original one

Going to see Arj Barker tonight. Surprised at the choice of venue for an international comedy superstar - Moorabbin Arts Centre - but looking forward to it :)
