Melbourne

I just made the new daily thread because I went to bed two hours ago and thought it was 7am 🙃

Last night turns it on.

Omg. So much stuff. Someone got a new outfit.

And the other sort of Ah, Footscray.

Barefoot screaming woman in my front yard pinching the hose to shower with….

Behold the belleh

Had my once-every-many-weeks check of LinkedIn on the desktop to see connection requests and the like. Found myself hit with that pang of realising how stagnant I was for years at my past role - can't blame the workplace entirely, but I feel like I lost so much of my more passionate years while hamstrung by visa conditions. I have the freedom now but not as much excitement any more...

Something definitely needs to change. I don't have huge ambitions but I also want to aim a little higher (in a sustainable way).... think with whatever experience I get in the next year and a half or so, I might be able to shift my career into something more interesting or substantial. Maybe do a formal qualification in spatial tech and get a gig in some cool environmental fieldwork company.

So pretty 😍

Ah, Footscray

City outing with the fam today. Dinner on Lygon street. Ordered a beer and the waiter put it in front of my son. We had a chuckle and asked the waiter how old did he think my son was. The dude said 18+20 for sure.

I think it made my son's, who is actually 14, year.

I got an ad for one of those shitty story apps where you pay like 6 bucks a month to read stories that Chatpgp thing wrote, and their ad is kinda hilarious

What the.hell even is this 🤣

I'm going to Daiso to buy some shit I don't need. It's my first time there although I vaguely remember there being one in Airport West many many moons ago or something similar. Anyway I'm off to buy some cute shit.

I have a theory that cats are actually talking to us but we can't understand because they actually speak with a very heavy Glaswegian accent. Like Rab Nesbitt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k7VoFiagfs

Who wants to post tomorrows thread - Sunday April 7th?

Just quickly popping into kitchen warehouse to grab some baking trays and that’s it .

Yeah right.

Hating the darkness - struggle to see properly driving in the dark with the oncoming bright car headlights. I bought some yellow glasses to try. Can’t avoid it due to work.

Going for an evening walk before dinner as it’ll be a while before it’s light at this time. Love daylight saving, I will miss it.

Tonight is when all the different clocks at home become the right time again 😃

My new time organisation is going well to plan.

Weekends for doing household work, weekdays for doing school and art with some cooking chores and cat chores

Also got all my stuff ready to dye my hair tomorrow. It's been 4 months . Blue black hair, yay 😃

it feels like a day for a long bath with a book. Fuck all the work I should be doing.

Goddamn Minh Phat. so easy to spend so much on delicious condiments and dried and frozen goods and everything. Most of what I've bought should last me for half a year at least though. The $30 worth of dried mushrooms in particular. 500g goes a long way and these small mushrooms are great as they rehydrate a lot faster, no need to prep so far in advance.

mmmmmmm butter

My Woolies order arrived three hours late and turned out not to be mine at all. So I still don't have any useful groceries and I need to find somewhere to donate a big box of nappies.

I've done very little today except prepare meals for family and watch short films (thankyou to those who mentioned it in yesterday's thread, it's an addictive habit lol). I bought Miniest an ocarina as part of her birthday present and they had one with a cracked glaze for cheap, so I got it as well. We've been attempting to play them and the eldest said it's like being in a room full of apprentice snake charmers. I can sort of play "The Rose" but it'll take a fair bit more practise before I can play well. Drew us a D major finger position chart thingy, which really helps.

Rain incoming if you've got stuff to do.

My breakfast/lunch: Coles roast chook sandwich featuring: Coleslaw, buttered Wonderwhite White bread, hot sauce, cheese, salt and pepper. Holy smokes it was incredible

I'm going to bed. Try to stop me

Oh chicken and vegetables, how I've missed you despite your blandness.
