Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
Tinyest keeps ripping my glasses off and he holds them. He examines them, looks really thoughtful before ultimately shoving them in his mouth and biting the shit out of them. He can remove the first loop on the apple watch (fortunately not the second yet), and is very keen to try chew on my phone too. Most of my parenting is taking things off him before they get the shit bitten out of them.
My kid put chalk in her mouth when she was little. When I asked her why she did that she replied "because the green one didn't taste too good". Oh dear. "Sweetie we have food in the cupboard. You don't need to snack on chalk".
I'm probably going to regret this, but I am taking Mr Woof out for an after-dinner stroll.
It's lovely outside, warm and the air is sweet with trees and flowers. 🤗
Good Bot.
I'm meant to be in the office today but I'm not sure if it's a good idea with 100% humidity and 32 degrees
I've gotta buy jeans for the man today and his only stipulation is that they not be tight so they can accommodate his extra large shlong and crew. Jesus Christ. How do I convey that to the salesperson while keeping a straight face? "Scuse do they have ample roomage for the man junk cos i got measurements for everything else"?
bring cucumber and mangoes
Little fan go soft brr, hot, keyboard iffy, case is cracking open, open up, slightly puffy battery, 'puter 5 years old. Time for new 'puter.
Monday we have the great grand and good whole house reverse cycle ducted install begging, multiple trades and three days work, 20kw heating, 17kw cooling, gimme gimme gimmeeeee
Having an evap cooler when it's humid outside is like standing under the sun to stay cool. At moment my little pedestal fan is putting it to shame.
I'm going through the new Union station, and it's funny how we've built a steel trough and now people are pissing in it. I wonder what we were expecting.
Counting down the minutes until home time. Wishing my life away....
I have taken possession of a MacBook Pro for work purposes (I'm going to be overseeing the integration of MacOS into our corporate environment).
I have given Apple and their OSes so much shit over the years it's quite funny that this task has fallen on me. I might need to buy a bunch of leather & wooden bracelets and fashion my hair into a manbun. I'm surprised it let me login to it without a full sleeve tattoo.
I need to organise a fruit platter for Saturday. What would you do? Based in the CBD.
