Geez. Weโre really doing our best to lose this test.
Yes this is not the day 2 I expected...
On my way home from a pub lunch and watching gladiator 2 at pentridge cinemas. I thought gladiator 2 was really well done. They got through an impressive amount of storyline while managing to keep it fast paced and action packed. 4/5 hobbits, would recommend

Damnโฆ yesterday after the dentist I got the local homeless dude the wrong drinks. I usually only give him some change and only briefly saw his sign, so got a bit confused and bought the wrong option.
Itโs cool. Iโm not down that way too often but now Iโve figured out the right thing.
(Now him, heโs fine. The people around here are usually harassing me or doing scary disruptive things outside my house, hence my defensive attitude and unwillingness to engage, but heโs chill and doesnโt bother anyone. Iโve always got a coin or two for him when I go past.)
hugs, you're kind to care for the homeless guy ๐
I hope everyone survives today. I think I'm probably going to sleep most of the day. Fluffball will probably not move from in front of the fan.

Whoever signed off on the wedding dress outfit in Mario Odyssey was a goddamn genius.
replaying the boss fight and having the cutscene of Our Hero (tm) kicking the door in and interrupting the wedding with Mario as a spurned bride is fucking peak comedy

Yesterday I had oysters for a starter and then a lobster & prawn roll that had absolutely no right to be as good as it was. I can't stop thinking about it. Must go back.
So I would like another lobster & prawn roll please chef. Must be a brioche roll.

Some time at the park this morning before it got too hot. Then I picked up some coffee beans from one of those middle of the thoroughfare cafes at a shopping centre as my regular order won't be here until at least Thursday
Today a lady that I helped months ago recognised me and was so excited to see me. She asked for a photo with me. It was quite strange but I kinda felt like a celebrity for a second.
I forgot to water this morning so popped out with my hat on, sure enough everything was wilting. Quick water then out to check the maggieโs water. They still had some.
But some beefy sunburned dipshit came stomping aggressively through like an elephant while I was talking to them and topping up their water. Really obvious nonverbal anger. Not either of the men that tip the water out but looks like the one that was swearing about โsome prick feeding themโ. Guess the target is square on my back now.
But fuck him. Pretty sure this is private property heโs cutting through. I pay rent so Iโm the one that has the right to be here.
Iโm getting very sick of random shitty men trying to intimidate me on my own property about things that are none of their business, and if he begins to harass me directly then perhaps the police might like some footage of him.
Edit: Iโd consider some hotfoot powder to peacefully encourage the blow ins to walk a different way. Make all of our lives easier. But I donโt want the local cats to step in it and lick the spiciness off their beans, or me to track it in onto my carpet for Melbcat to stand on.
Other (white) suggestions welcome ๐

Welp, I'm fucked ๐
I want to go down to the shops for some ice cream and flour, and while I'm there I might get some cross buns (hear me out: I think bringing back the "hot" will cause the weather to get even worse and it'll end up being 53ยฐ outside)
My kid sized leggings arrived... and they are still a bit too long! Fun times!
Hmmโฆ just tried the countertop dishwasher for the first time and a few things quite annoy me. I hope I get used to it or I might give it away
spoiler
Edit: Ahh good, itโs only the rapid cycle I tried that didnโt do any drying. Because everything was left literally dripping wet (way more so than drip drying in a rack beside the sink) so would force you to dry things really thoroughly by hand (soaking a few tea towels) and would draw roaches if you left the door open to avoid mould. Still something of a concern tho.
Not loving that Iโd have to use an hour long program to get any drying but Iโll try it out on the pet bowls so see if theyโre left less sopping.
I would have liked a second rack to fit in a larger number of tiny items. Iโll have to learn how to load it properly and really learn how it works I guess. Thereโs a flap up top that could be for long handled spoons or little teacups. To YouTube I guess.
The utensil holder lid pissed me off to the point I just ran the load without it /shrug
Also completely petty but I didnโt like the fact that it asks for 5 litres of water to be poured in but supplies you a jug smaller than that which is marked in weird measurements. You have to just keep refilling and pouring until you hear the beeping and the tap icon disappears, leaving you with leftover water in the jug. Seriously? Marking it as 1.4L and .6L was a very random choice and I might just use my own jug.
You also need to be slow/careful in pouring so you donโt bump the pourer tray as itโs held in the inlet by a shallow lip and is quite shallow itself so you can spill some down the back of the machine. Bit hard to hold the heavy jug up for a while to go slow.
I didnโt grow up with a dishwasher and the few times Iโve used one they were full size that left the stuff basically almost dry. So yeah. Itโs a learning curve.

I do like that you can just pour the water in though rather than having to constantly connect and disconnect to the kitchen tap, that would drive me nuts. Especially as the connections arenโt necessarily universal.
Standalone/tank fill option means you can put the normal stuff in to get cleaned while you handwash the knives and the cooking pots.

FWIW when I make jelly, I put a bit of citric acid in the mix to sour it up a bit.

Jesus. I didnโt watch the 2nd BBL match last night but that double concussion injury was brutal last night.
Sweet F, hot potatoโฆ.
Donโt think Iโll be heading back outdoors again unless itโs by carโฆ
