    I grabbed the essentials at the supermarket and bolted out of there because of these 2 kids, full on screaming. One had climbed to the top of the soft drink aisle shelf and was evading any attempts to get him down. The other had cleared out part of a shelf and ran around to the next aisle and cleared out the other side of the shelf to create a kind of tunnel, through which he also was screaming. One staff member was trying to cajole the kid down off the shelf and he was just laughing and screaming. The other staff all had this painful tight, pinched look on their faces. The noise broke me, and I went to the variety store nearby for a kitchen benchtop storage solution. Came home and made that solution work (looks tidy and organised ✅) and ate half a packet of Butternut Snaps 🤰🏼

      That’s just a matter of time for one of the children to get injured (and legal issues) but there’s nothing they could really do

    Sore throat and congestion even after drinking three cups of lemon and ginger tea in a row. I have placement on Monday 😭 I think I’ve been way too stressed lately, and this is my body telling me to slow down and be in the present more.

    Slept pretty well which was nice. Once I’ve finished with the PT it’s time for another nap and a chill night.

    Next week is interview central so doing fuck all this weekend. I generally get sick of sitting around not being productive after a couple of days so this works for me.

    Today I played mini golf in the Flinders St ballroom. It was very cool. Super arty mini golf- for one hole, you put on animal tails and use the tail as your golf club. Very fun.

    It’s running for another month or so.

              Its a fine grained hardwood - very popular in late 1800s for furniture, and again in the 70s & 80s, as both durable and beautiful. Then the supply of that timber (from old growth forests) bottomed out and imports from Indonesia/Malaysia pretty much took over the furniture market. Your pen may well be repurposed timber from old/antique furniture, as new timber of that variety doesn’t often come onto the market now, and what can be cut under the current strict licence conditions mostly goes for musical instruments. Treasure it - it’s beautiful.

    A friend invited us over for a lovely beach walk and a feast of a dinner with delicious, heavy things. Now trying to resist the food coma or I’ll be up and pacing at 3am. Word searches and bright coloured pens for some relaxation time.
