Spent the afternoon having to remind myself that Other Adults are responsible for regulating Their Own Responses, it is Not My Responsibility. And BIG EMOTIONS were being had today.
Fuck the wine, I'm going straight for the vodka. Regulate that.

Meep. Lottie the saurus and I are in the same corner.
I hope you are feeling better after a few. Vodka here is regulated to 75mL or 1 litre. Other countries sell it by the gallon.
Results came back.
All is well :)
That was an unpleasant experience.
hugs, the waiting itself can be so stressful
happy you are well ๐ now give fluffybutt a big hug ๐ธ
Yay yay, so glad to hear!
Great aunt flexing on seagoon :)
Decided to pull some of her beach combing stuff out and think about displaying it. She was a spinster, teacher and hit the beach every day in Warrnambool, very kind woman. I remember packing all of this away when she passed many moons ago as a kid.
Oh wow, this is a beautiful ( and valuable ) collection. The necklace looks like a real traditional rare First Australian necklace. It may be very old. They all deserve to be displayed. ๐
and thanks for showing it all to us. ๐ฝ
Still going through great aunt's shit
I would like to know the story behind these:
Something tells me don't ask.
those are really old, like over 100 years old
Hopefully it involved a safe word.
Maybe she was keeping a prisoner in the back shed.
Previous comment was that she was a teacher - probably confiscated from a pupil ... well, we can hope.
Itโs the night of the year 11 formal and thereโs pregame at my place. Iโm hiding my beer.

Give it less than a year they'll find it.
I feed my cats the brand Fussy Cat.
It's best quality. Today they decided it's not good enough.
Is there a cat food called Fussy Bastard
Cole's tinned tuna chunks in brine go down really well with my cat. Cheaper by the tin than cat food. Mostly she just gets quality kibble for a balanced diet. The maggies eat probably a 1/3 of that.
I get a couple brands - some purina, some applaws, some fussy cat, etc. A box of each. Mix them up and alternate. Keeps them off guard
I do same!!
they just fussy bastards
My partner's cats get raw kangaroo mince too. Does it get fancier than just meat?
Kibble only until they realise just how lucky they usually are. They will not starve.
Ted is still Chomk , Bill has become Fine Boi
Today I bought 3 antiques from the opshop, an ink bottle from about 1900 and 2 Czech glass necklaces from the 1930s, a simple opal glass festoon and a crystal beads on silk. all up, $15-
Burning shit today:
Always pretty.
Still have eyebrows so that's positive. CO~2~ in the atmosphere not so much.
Is it even a proper burnoff if you don't either singe the eyebrows or end up with a visit from the fire brigade?
I would't worry about the CO2 from it too much, if you used it as mulched or composted it the same amount of CO2 would be released, just over a bit longer timeframe. The small particle polution on the other hand, that can be a bit of a problem. Although only really in aggregate with lots of people doing it.
Where's the marshmallows?
lol was thinking at the time fark this is such a lost marshmallow opportunity.
Next time!
And spuds & sweet potatoes wrapped in tinfoil and baked in the ashes.
Twisting my arm here!
Nice beams!
Still on holiday. Have been pretty active and social the last few days so having a quiet life thinking and reading day. And some phone admin to completely separate work and personal stuff on my phone. It's nice to do little things and tick unkaos boxes
Might get my results today. We'll see.
๐ค
It's super late.
Good night everyone, sweet dreams. ๐ฝ
Oh man that gas bill killing me.
Ducted heating? Open plan house?
Yeah itโs all due to a big gas powered boiler running a hydronic system on both levels of the house. The heated floors are fucking sweet but thereโs obviously a financial shockwave that comes round a couple times a year haha.
Shopping is complete: new glasses picked up, plus a few things from NQR and Shepp cannery outlet. Hopefully this means I can avoid having to do any further in person shopping for at least a couple of months.
I need a walk down the beach.

24 hours in of listening to the biography of John Le Carre. I am starting to have opinions. 4 hours to go, then the scathing review will commence.
he is no Graham Greene, never was , he isn't even Holly Martins
