Melbourne

I remembered my password lol I'm back properly.

Finally got out of that fucking tutoring role! Finally no more being absolutely fleeced by a boss who pulls in 200K a year but absolutely can't give a raise in line with inflation because they don't take inflation into account.

Today is a good day, goddamn

I have a funeral to go to tomorrow and I'm dressing for warmth.

No one tells you that as you get older wearing shoes with proper support will become a priority.

Today I'm gonna cook pork ribs in the airfryer. I'll let youse know how it turns out. 👍

Today I learned that my mother always thought "patio" rhymes with "ratio"... The effect of living in a country where most people live in apartments and you grow up learning a lot of words from books but not speech

At my niece's 4th birthday lunch. Thought you'd appreciate a photo of an Australian classic.

Dumb question, but does anyone else remember the 90s being a time of feeling like there was so much potential and new shit on the horizon? Or was that just cause I was young?

Ahhhhhh I need to be up in 6 hours and I can't sleep

I started trying to sleep almost 2 hours ago and it's just not working 😭 I give up until the tiredness happens

I guess tomorrow's going to be a nap in the car kind of day

Hard rubbish all out. That's twice now a passing stranger has helped me lift the second couch back up.
Here's hoping the fossickers don't just dump it again...

Earthquake! I think. The house shook anyway.

Lmao just gave the cat a tin of his new food which has veggies in, dude actually sniffed it, gagged, and the cried for different food.

He really loved the fish based one yesterday, so I don't think it's a brand issue, dudes just not keen on pumpkin and peas.

Does anyone else feel like supermarket employees are on a bit of a power trip?

The patrolling of the self serve thing really gives me metro ticket inspector vibes. I'm constantly having them look over my shoulder as though I'm going to steal.

Admittedly I live in a shitty area and am a minority so maybe I get singled out but it really gets on my nerves.

I make enough that I don't need to steal food. Fuck right off.

Sorry it's been bugging me for a while now.

Am trying this recipe: https://www.recipetineats.com/baked-balsamic-chicken/.
Wish me luck!

I'm going to Sydney tomorrow and I'm not sure whether I'm excited or nervous but whatever I am I can't sleep :/

I didn't grind enough coffee and I mustn't have tampered it hard enough because it barely made it into the espresso extraction range and now my coffee is a bit weak. Weak coffee isn't a good start to the day BUT I did sleep well enough to sleep through the earthquake so it's not all bad news.

Day 8/70: First day of week 2 weigh-in.
Down 1.8kg. I know the first couple of kilos are the easiest, but still I didn't think I'd drop that fast. I actually don't want to lose 18kg (10 weeks x 1.8kg). I'd be too skinny.

I've IRL socialed enough for today. I feel like a bit of a naparoony.

I have inadvertently started collecting chickwn salts. I should start a database with notes. Best on popcorn: hoyts chicken sprinkle. Chippies: less salty than mitani, can be more liberally used. Aftertaste akin to a smiths roast chicken chippie.
