If you’re not going to give me treats then leave me alone
:cat pout:
Someone needs a diet I think…
A diet consisting only of treats!
😐
Another day off tomorrow. I’ve got the medical certificate and other stuff out of the way. Once I drop the kids off this could be a full eightish hours off just me time. There are a few small things I want to do that could take up a morning or mid afternoon, but I can primarily just chill.
and I had time to walk down the beach after dinner while some clothes were in the washing machine
the evenings have been so beautiful
We went out for a swim thinking it might be the last of the season. Twas lovely and peaceful out there.
I think we might have a few more warm days
Work got a gigantic box of medjool dates to celebrate(?) Eid. Delicious! I ate about 10 and I’m worried for my toilet but YOLO
yum 😊🌴
where did the time go, I have to be up early
Good night everyone
sweet dreams 😘
hugs for Melba if she is around
back from shopping, got everything on list
tired and was starving, dinner has been had and am now having a weak coffee
another soviet vinyl LP, a book by David Mamet
jeans, a murano milk jug in exactly the shape I wanted ( ok, that was serendipity ), sheets from linen house, some nice warm jumpers for down at the beach
I have a cute little story to tell you. YL went to visit a potential pet parent yesterday.
The brief: Looking after a lovely chill little assistance dog (chihuahua) on occasions that doesn’t like to be left alone because his little pal (dog) left one day and never came back.
Reality: YL is let into the home and notices a tiny little dog hiding shyly behind dog mama. Out of nowhere a bird comes and lands on her shoulder and starts talking to her. “Are you ok?” It says.
Dog/bird mama says “Oh I forgot to ask if you’re ok with birds” which YL replies with “yeah. All good”. “Great let’s met the rest of the family”. YL is thinking “humans?”. No. Wrong. 6 other birds. Buddy (not actual name) is now preening her hair. Gently. Not to be out done, another bird comes and lands on her head. They are both now preening her. Gently.
Some notes: Buddy likes shiny things. Buddy likes to hide shiny things. Watch out when you turn on the ceiling fan.
If you can’t find cutlery, check the ceiling fan.
Be careful shutting the dish washer. They like to get in there. Also cupboards. Anything really that gets left open.
Showering alone is not possible unless you lock them out of the bathroom. If you don’t mind, they will watch you, make comments or try to shower with you.
If they see you washing your hands they will try and bathe in your hands. All of them will want a go.
Be careful when turning the corner in the hallway. They like to have races.
They will try to drink from your cup.
There’s no TV. They ate it.
Conclusion: She was a Disney Princess for an hour. She loved it and cannot wait. I laughed the entire time she told me this story.
Dog pics WHEN?! Open to bird pics as well! That household sounds hilarious.
I hope YL is being well compensated for not just the dog then! “Forgetting” to mention 6 birds sounds like a weird oversight.
7 birds!!! Yeah imagine forgetting about your other 7 children with wings and only mentioning the one that sits in the corner with its ipad. Weird but not my problem.
I think I’d struggle with 1 bird lol.
sounds awesome 😸🐶🕊️
I know right! I told her to watch her language around the birds because they’ll tell.
Reminds me of my cousin’s partner’s family birds. It says “fuck you” a lot…
The bar I was at Saturday night lessens the horror of your bill by presenting it with a sweet treat. This time it was macarons and I overheard the staff moaning that the only ones left were blue and they stain everything. I gleefully offered to swap my passionfruit one for a blue one and oh, stain everything it does indeed – lips, fingers and, ah, some internals.
Happy National Puppy Day 🐶
Poopy
Nawww. Hey Pud. ❤️
Gosh he’s so cute!!
It knows that.
Happy Puppy. 🐶🐶🐶
Lazy puppy.
same thing 😸
I have done my home chores ,
now I must do some shopping, jeans for at the beach and sets of sheets
might see if I can find some vintage vinyl LPs too
Aldi has sheet sets at the moment for a very reasonable price.
and those jaquard pillow protectors are wonderfully cooling
ooh, thank you 😸👍
How tedious is peeling prawns? The temptation of peel, eat, peel, eat is great but I didn’t sample any and kept all the bits for a nice stock. Well done me.
YAYYY!!! This is a very impressive level of self control. Its FATAL to taste just one peeled prawn - the remainder goes down the hatch so so very easily.
I know right! The test for me was going passed all the lebanese sweet shops and not stopping. I have the control.
That is an amazing level of self control. I love prawns.
Yes it is. Sometimes I eat well during prep and the fam get the leftovers. 🤷♀️
How many emails do I have to send asking for work to do before I give up lol
Best case scenario is they kind of forgot about you and you can just turn up and do whatever like you’re in Office Space
I’ve gone canvassing for new business
That’s one thing I love about meeting rooms at work, no one knows what you’ve booked them for
start just doing some documentation here and there. That way if they go “WHAT DO YO DO??” and you’e like “here is my work I am important person documenting processes as per good practise.”
But I have questions. So many questions. How are fights resolved? how do you know when it’s ended? What is the concept of dominance and submission in the slug world?? How do they classify defeat???
They just slug it out
I reckon they go hard with the sledging.
Tho I had no idea this doesn’t surprise me.
marine molluscs fight each other, they predate each other and other animals, they have poison stings too
sometimes I find shells with a small round hole, that’s from another mollusc attacking it, drilling a hole, stinging it , then eating it
oh yeah there’s a lot of seashells you can see any given beach with predation marks. But slugs have snot and farts as defense and offence mechanisms so…
I think I’ve found a new regular barber. Where the old place was usually a half day affair with all the waiting, I was straight in/out with this one
Very smokey out there the past few days.
That is not great.
I think they are doing planned burns out near Trugininna but yeah my sinuses are struggling
A lot of farmers are also burning off stubble at this time of year.
