Thank you everyone for your kind words. I appreciate the love and care you've given me.

I could have done it. I could have created today's post but it was worried I would have done it wrong or doubled up
These are not the rules to be concerned about.
Close to three grand of invalid water bill goes bye bye! Ombudsman is a very useful word.
Spent my lunch break getting distracted by my own nails - they're so hard to show through photos. Just know they are very sparkly.

pretty ๐
Very quiet at work this morning and I am missing the weekend something fierce. I was so grumpy getting out of bed this morning. Gotta fund my lifestyle somehow though.
Anyone heard from Rusty lately? Noticed she hasn't posted in a week or so.
I am alive! Just feeling a bit flat and boring lately, so don't really have anything to post about. Hopefully the longer days will perk things up a bit more ๐
I feel like I'm posting the mundane just to be part of the convo and hope someone notices if I'm gone! Hope you're great, you are such a bright spark!
But... from a personal POV, I want to know the mundane. Yes, I'm a shameless Know It All who often doesn't reply in order to not appear as overbearing, but I LOVE to see what everyone is up to - we all come from such different aspects of life, it's so interesting for me to read about your gardening pursuits or Mr Woof's opinion on someone or even how the sky near you is looking let alone how fascinating your job must be from an outsider's perspective. Thank you for sharing and I hope you continue to!
Also just a great call out to everyone reading: TELL ME MORE. I love to read and upvote and I want to support everyone (though sometimes I feel a little like a weirdo so try and tone it down!)
Brief comment early last week if I remember correctly. Might be busy at work.
and Melbs too
Yes. My (completely ignorant) opinion is that Melbs has no spare energy rn. And is focussed on getting well (I hope). Thoughts & prayers would not go amiss methinks.
Definitely keeping Melbs in my thoughts, I hope she's doing the best she can (and she always did!)
Boyo: Wanna get freaky tonight? Me:, mid way through cutting into a birds eye chilli with my finger and nose twinkling: Maybe not tonight...
Also, went for a lovely swim tonight at our local gym, I have missed that! I have not missed the get home, do chores like take the bin down, go swim, cool down, wash (the stupidly long) hair, prep dins and make, settle down and wonder where the fuck the night went?! Still planning to go back this week with further plans to better meal prep for next week and beyond.
went to shoe shop to get black sandals, came home with these
I still need black sandals

I can smell the cum trees out there. Fucking disgusting.
Paragraphs about buying light bulbs
I am never buying LED lights from normal retail channels ever again. I effectively got 8 bulbs for $1.09ea (with coupons) on AliExpress. They have a perfect 3000K warm white colour and I tailored the brightness to the application -- 3W bulbs for the range hood, 5W bulbs for ceiling down lights.
You can pick from 4 different brightnesses, three different colour temperatures, 38 or 120 degree beam angle, and whether they are dimmable. Try doing that with Australian stock. Impossible.
The main differences are no retail packaging, and they don't come in an 60 degree beam angle which seems to be the standard in Australia. I can't tell a difference between 60 and 38 though.
The 6 pack I bought from Bunnings for $19.50 have a disgusting pink hue to them and are too bright. Absolute crap.
Is there a canonical colour for Hitchhicker's petunias?
Not that I know of. Although I believe the really really frilly kind would probably be inappropriate given the origin text. The standard colour called 'petunia' is usually a pale-ish magenta.

Full smorgasbord please with schnapps. Yes, it's Monday but I could not give a ๐ฉ.
Pumpkin ravioli please
Pan fried salmon with a sweet glaze with rice and some steamed veg please
Really impressed with this Youtube downloader that was just suggested in Bazaar, Bazzite's package manager. I thought there would be no meta data for artists or albums, but it's all there. And since it runs locally there are no ads or bullshit about slowing down unless you pay.
