Here goes with multi interviews tomorrow.
Goodnight all ❤️
🤞🏼you’ll smash them!
Good night everyone, may you have a restful sleep and sweet dreams 😘
Some random person just walked around the back of my unit and stole all of my neighbour’s nonslip mats. All that rustling and bumping was them pulling one out from under my fence where it had slid.
Bunch of weirdos
I’m playing Bride and Prejudice and trying to teach Bill Cat to dance.
He is having none of it.
How can he be a decent cat and marry Pyaari if he doesn’t know how to dance.
Bill’s just being a bro. He knows that Ted is sweet on Pyaari and doesn’t want to block his chances
I’ve fallen into a Pyaari hole. I can’t decide if she is really that sweet and docile, or is plotting to leave a deposit in someone’s shoe.
I think she’s conflicted
She was raised to be that sweet from kittenhood
she is so decent 💖
If you’re in the mood for Bollywood may I recommend Taal? There’s a version with English subtitles on YouTube. I don’t like either of the love interests but the songs are good
Sounds great, I’ll have a look. 😊
Where’s my snack?
Left, left, caproil
That’s the look of “oh god not again”
He’s just not a dancer , not like Casey and Allie were.
Decided it was time to take some "in progress" photos of my yard.
There’s still a bit more mulch to put down to widen the area along the back and many plants to go in, but I think it looks much better just having a laid out garden bed instead of just bad quality grass right to the edges. It will be great when I finally have some proper plant growth too.
that looks like it’s going to be awesome
Do you have many trees planned?
I’m not allowed trees unfortunately, the landlord put a 2m height limit. Which is a pity, I would have loved to do a dwarf gum tree. Fortunately there are quite a few good habitat trees in the estate and they are doing native planting in parks around those so there is a decent amount of canopy trees around, along with nature strip trees. I’ve got a couple of dwarf citrus which will fit within the height limit (depending on which references you look at!)
I’m doing natives all down one side, including a wattle, callistemon and (if I can get it to grow) a banksia. Then a mix of smaller shrubs and groundcovers. Lots of things to provide food and habitat for birds and also for bees.
Bottlebrush makes a nice big bush after a few years, brings birds. I’ve got a tea tree from a friends citizenship ceremony that’s about 2m as well. I can track down the specific if you want.
I think I’ve got as many plants as the garden can handle already! I did order a smaller tea tree that has beautiful red flowers.
Ugh. This Minecraft passkey business is related to Windows Hello which is some biometric authentication bullshit on Windows 10 and 11.
spoiler
You can just set up a PIN but I don’t want to. It feels so fishy because of the other options. Like… How the hell is Microsoft going to ask me to scan my fingerprint to play Minecraft alone on my own machine? (Thankfully there is no compatibility with the hardware to scan my face or fingerprint.)
And what else could Microsoft decide to take hostage until I give them personal info? My Outlook account that I need for everything? I hate this timeline. Suck my nuts.
Gonna try and remove Hello sign in options. And if that doesn’t work, I’ve lost my worlds.
I wish I could get organised and set up Linux and Proton mail. I’m just struggling to manage the bare minimum right now and fear getting cut off from everything if there are payment issues or some mistake
Edit: I got it to work with just a password. I still hate that I require an account and it’s linked to my Microsoft account and Xbox and Twitch are somehow involved. Someone please make something similar that hasn’t been enshittified into suck
proton is super easy to set up
you can even transfer all your addresses and mail
I’m just paralysed right now. And then there’s the job of changing everything important over to the new email and not accidentally locking yourself out of stuff.
The organisation and ‘doing stuff’ part of my brain isn’t working right now
I totally understand.
Just do what you can.
and rest and sleep as much as you can too
Thanks, I’ll try.
I don’t quite know what’s wrong with me, but I’ve been vague and had no real energy for like, a week and a half
Same - I put it down to the amount of travelling I’ve been doing and the vague upset tummy I had a couple weeks ago. Loaded up today on vitamin D, iron - the two things I get low on first - and ginko which seems to help with post viral shenanigans 💪 . But I suspect its just spring blues. I need Christmas holidays
I’m trying to bump up the B12 and start to actually take my vitamin D (on top of multi gummies). I really hope it helps
Same. Im starting to think it’s daylight savings.
lots of vague viruses around at the moment
I had that sore throat dizzy one 2 weeks ago, got palpitations too, and it’s hard to shake, might be some post viral syndrome
My herb plants arrived, and they look very healthy. I’m not sure how much planting I’ll get done tomorrow though, it looks like it’s going to be very windy. But the plants are all set up in a tray with water in the greenhouse, so it shouldn’t be too urgent. I still have a dozen of the native tubestock to plant, with another 26 plants expected to arrive next week, so I’ll definitely be busy. Plus I need to get some vegetable seeds planted!
Oh oh. I’ll guess I’ll see some of you at the 3am had-a-nap club.
For some strange reason I always wake up 7:37am every morning. Doesn’t matter what time I go to bed, that must be my lucky number.
My mate Dave has a new album out tomorrow.
One of my interviews tomorrow is in the building where my mother used to work 20 odd years ago.
What a fucking coincidence. Lots of memories attached to that place.
Wow, if you do get an offer and decide to go for it, I hope you can make new and better memories!!
Thank you! Fingers crossed :)
Done! Avoiding temptation to fuss with the pickles
Sammidge! Did you end up doing crepes for the meat?
Yes. Sweet crepes with some fake raspberry drops, and real powdered ones on the edge
Looks like a giant oreo gone wrong, but I bet it tasted great.
That looks pretty awesome.
Thankyou! It’s certainly not photo real but better than cartoon
Very well done!
Today I am listening to the CD soundtracks to Slumdog Millionaire and Bride and Prejudice
and counting down to when tickets for Frankenstein go on sale
but first I have been listening to Shostakovich 9 1947 Kurtz performance, it is strangely contemporary and old at the same time
now time for bollywood Bride and Prejudice, it has a beat and you can dance to it 💃🕺
Happy Friday eve
May all the bastards leave you alone today, and tomorrow.
I just folded and put away a doona cover that was inside out. I didn’t even find its matching pillowcase. That’s how crazy I feel today.
I just realised I’m incredibly uncivilised lol
That’s what Gibson told us too.
I store mine inside out. Makes it heaps easier to put it on the doona if you start inside out.
That’s totally wrong. Nah just joking. As long as it gets on the doona who cares.
I prefer the starfish way. Grab the doona ends, get inside the cover, find the top corners, flop onto the bed, find the bottom corners with my toes, slither back out, do up the buttons. Adjust.
I have the cover inside out and put my hands inside to the farthest corners, then grab the corners of the doona. Pull and shake
That is the way.
I lay the cover flat on the bed, find the top corners w/ the doona, hold each corner w/ each hand, stand on the bed and shake vertically over the edge until the doona drops down.
Same. Best method!
I reckon it’s the wind & full moon
I think you’re right. I did find the pillowcase and reunited them.
