This is my favourite embroidery piece (with hand crocheted edging) that my mother did.

She's always been more interested in doing the crochet than the embroidery, so there are lots of doilies and things in the cupboard.

Over at the p's.. so naturally means tech support. Jeez they panic.

It's sort of ironic. Back in the day as kids they'd slightly try and limit our screen time (pre smart phones)... talkin' N64 days.. confiscating that shit mid lylat wars / waveracer / 1080 binges like despotic barbarians. Now they beg to keep all their shit working and can't function without their devices. I'd love to see another carrington event.

E: ooh a downvote. Someone didn't do a barrel roll. Just realised if you type 'do a barrel roll' in chrome it does one. lol.

Might finally be getting over covid and the flu but sheesh that was harsh. One day I took out the recycling and then had to sleep for 13 hours I was that wiped from something so simple.

Also I may have grown too many chillis this season, I don't think my dehydrator is big enough to deal with this impending win/doom 😂

Tomorrow morning, I have a psychiatrist appointment for ADHD. Maybe after I get meds, I won't have "big feelings" anymore. But that might just be the suspected 'tism. Who knows at this point?

And who cares?

Cheers 🍻

Well. I've been playing video games and napping most of the day. Time for guitar I guess?

Double roll!

My kid did a very important biology test today. We all put in a bet and will be eagerly anticipating results.

Me: 96%

The man: 85%

The kid: 75%

The dog: N/A

My grandma made Geoffrey the dog steamed fish, rice, and pasta. He ate none of it. But I gave him 20 of these little treats yesterday, because that's all he'll eat.

We are trying lots of different things.

Today I am looking at removalists. I have an end leave date 4 weeks from now. I need some special boxes too. Not too difficult to pack as I have done all the sorting already. 🙂

It will be a bit spenny but worth it because ...beeeeach ⛱️🩴🌊😎

I put on Iron Man the other day and AC/DCs Back in Black comes on and my daughter goes "I like this music. Is it old people music?" I swear my back started aching as soon as those words left her mouth.

Looks like it’s fuck this shit ‘o’ clock.

Ah, it's been a good long while since I've woken up to the dance of the UTI fairies at 2 in the morning. Urrrrgh. Definitely didn't drink enough water the last two days.

Had a sachet of Ural but this doesn't feel like one I can flush out myself so thank goodness a dr is available at my usual practice tomorrow. Urrrrrrrrrrgh

going to check out a campervan tomorrow. Mrs isnt keen, but still wants to have a look at it. not sure if we're just Tyre kicking, or if shes serious. Getting a straight answer out of her is tough.

I've been really enjoying green tea lately. I always loved it with yum cha but never had it on its own. Haven't had coffee in a week and I can't remember the last time I had a cappuccino. I think I've found my latest fad.

My Nana used to do "the fancy work" as she called it. Anyway I found this. She would've crocheted the edges and all. Oh the patience she had.

Also found a shit load of birthday candles.

I've had a week of late nights but I hope I can fix that soon. I think I've been holding up alright but I don't recommend it.

I remembered to bring the growler to work and it's in the fridge pre-cooling before going to the brewery. I feel like I've earned it this week.

[–] Alamutjones@aussie.zone 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I’ve had beer and bulgogi. Now for that other great pleasure - bedtime

Stand up paddle board acquired - just a cheap inflatable one that had good reviews. Nabbed one for the boyo as well. Sadly too windy to test 'em today, but I've always wanted it and now I have it.

Was quite tired yesterday, went to bed earlier than normal, woke up at about 4 for a tinkle, fell back asleep until 6...decided to fall back sleep again (day off today) and holy shit the next 90 minutes was the deepest sleep I've had in a loooong time.

Wife's alarm went off, she had a shower, had the curtains opened and I did not budge until she actually woke me up.

Feel absolutely refreshed too.

[–] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I rate the two sleeps

Second one goes way deeper imo.

Terrible sleep but this morning is feeling kinda autumnal so it’s put me in a good mood. Leaves are already starting to change too.
