Woohoo! Good stuff!

Rest up so you don’t end up properly sick! Pretty sure you need a day on the couch.

Tea all day long.

Anyone know whether the Geelong rental market is as borked as Melbourne? I’m half considering a job there.

Haha, I quite like Geelong, but I’m generally in holiday mode when I’m there and that might colour things. Pretty sure they do have showers though!

I reckon since I’m going into all the logistics fairly thoroughly I probably won’t get the job, so it’ll be a non-issue. But we’ll see.

My washing machine runs for about an hour. I pop on a load and then use it as a timer: I’ll clean until the washing’s done. Might not work as well for a slow front loader!

Some upbeat music or an interesting podcast helps too.

Eggs on toast? Easy dinners are great on Sunday nights.

I can’t say I have strong opinions on different Windows systems, but I did notice the Finnish Eurovision entry is Windows95man.

Apparently they spray the elaborate ballet costumes with vodka instead of washing or dry cleaning, and you can do it to normal clothes too. Dump some Smirnoff on your socks and see. Tada! No more laundry.

Scanning’s usually free at the library, small charge for photocopying. And regardless, it can be worth borrowing reference books first (cookbooks, parenting etc. as well as art) to see if they work for you & you’ll actually use them, then buy your own copy if you think it’s worth it.

It is magnificent.

Save more time and just throw out the whole cucumber. Genuinely the worst vegetable ever.

A gold star to you for first class adulting! ✨️

What a spectacular boy!

That’ll teach it.

Urggggghhhhh, burn down the whole house and have a decontamination shower.

Still better than a live rat I guess?

And why would you want to? Elephants are the best 🐘

I’m clearly not watching enough sci-fi/ not sciency enough, but my mental image of ‘silicon-based life’ is a silicon spatula with googly eyes.

Pretty moon out tonight, if you need something to howl at.

It took a while, but the cat has finally discovered that cheese is Good For Cats. Little bugger tried to pinch my smoked cheddar (and gave it a good lick). Luckily he’s much prettier than he is smart, it’s not hard to outwit him.

Perhaps the universe is telling you to move to a tropical island?

I enjoyed it when I went in Melbourne. I see the logic in moving it to winter, so you have more darkness to work with, but Ballarat in June is just not as appealing as a nice warm summer night. I’ll probably miss this one.

Oh poor Ted. And poor you.

Maybe leave it out for a few days so he can have a sniff and see that it doesn’t attack him? Putting it on might be step two.

I have declared pizza night.

One ‘Old Mate’ - mushrooms, Gorgonzola, pesto, basil and similar deliciousness. And a margherita.
