      I was up a few times last night coughing and miss kitty is still curled up in her igloo not talking. I think I interrupted her beauty sleep

    It’s my last day with sox, and I feel sad that I must peel myself away to go work on the thesis of doom. Rather than spend a goblin mode day with her cuddled up on the oodie watching dumb shit and tossing snacks around the room for her

        Since you demanded so nicely, here’s a couple of blurry mediocre shots from last night when I got home late and was crouched on my knees on the couch, which was an invitation for sox to jump onto my back and park herself there for a minute

        a world-first for this feline

        she loves everyone:

        I have extricated myself from the warm cocoon of bed and am staring blankly at a screen but I promise to get some more pics tonight.

            she is such an adorable silly billy. I am not sure she is very smart though. She needs a bit of coaching when it comes to “run after the snack” games.

        It depends a lot on her human who is… Kind of flaky tbh. He’s got a good heart but his life is in a bit of a shambles of his own creation atm. At a crossroads where I think he’s very tempted to sell up what he has and float around; sox is the only real commitment he has tying him to one place…

        If it came to it, I’d seriously consider adopting her but not for quite a while yet as I intend to end my lease and put my stuff in storage for a bit while I figure myself out before I come back and have more of a plan for how to secure my own home (if it’s at all possible).

    Just went to a local shopping centre and got my fix of food court Chinese food, love it. Also unashamedly purchased a pair of Kmart trackies for each family member. They are unfortunately all the same shade of darkish grey ($8). Hey, the men’s cheap trackies are cheaper, thicker and warmer, and come in more serviceable colours than the ones in the women’s section, so 4 pairs of men’s trackies in varying sizes it was. I am a bogan.

        They’re a relaxed fit on my, err, relaxed shape. It’s just getting the right size and not being too fussy about the colour.

          I forgot which store I looked at last when I was looking for trackies and they were quite tight and slim fitting which I really hate.

          Can’t remember if it was K mart or big W

            I got these

            The last time I went to BigW they weren’t as good as I remember. Not sure what size you’d need but my 11yo Miniest takes XS, Elder 13yo takes S, my fat ass takes M, and Mr P takes 2XL. They had up to 4XL that I saw. Mr Ps Mum also wears them because they are roomy enough in the caboose to fit her incontinence pants.

              Do they have elastics at the bottom of the legs?

        Crumpet toast is like stale bread x a kitchen sponge but when you toast it and add butter, all the butter soaks in and it’s divine.

      I bonfired early, on Thursday and Friday. Tonight might be indoors with the central heating on. And a small howl or two.

    My mum sent me this photo, and I didn’t even notice the bird at first. There was more going on in the background, but I cropped it to reduce the likelihood of being doxxed.

    Reminds me of this
