eee tonight's arse end of swan bay.. with 3 swans if you squint hard enough. Living up to its name.

Ended up staying down here for an extra night for a bit of timeout alone. Back to it tomorrow.

iPhone camera is pretty decent.

New day new work trip new tropical soup. Trip 2 of 3 of my six months of bonkers workload and travel. It's very strange to be so busy but doing actually good things. I am so good at survival mode I don't know how to be healthy and successful but I am trying. ☀️☀️☀️☀️

Slept for 12 hours. Broken up, but still, that's absolutely amazing!!!

This means that the gym makes a huge difference. So back to going 5 days a week.

They grow up so fast lol

Wow. There's a lot of Bananas in Pyjamas hate out there...

I've done the stupid thing where I have, like, twelve library books

Goodnight all ❤️

I quite like Bananas in Pyjamas. Just living their best banana lives.

Peppa, on the other hand, needs to get in the bin. And die.

Went and caught up with a bunch of old friends. Some I might not have seen for 20 years. Played some games. Got another session lined up, new campaign starting with character creation next week. Hmu if you're interested in a monthly LARP in North Fitzroy, 3rd Saturday. Pretty nerdy and lgbt friendly group.

Yesterday was a just about perfect day. Plan on repeating it today, just with less cocktails because flying home tomorrow 😭 🥶

Poolside book success: Icebreaker by Hannah Grace. Requires suspense of belief when it comes to competitive figure skating, but a fun, funny read with a very inclusive ensemble cast without feeling forced. 7 out of 10 for making me laugh so much.

Poolside book fail: All We Lost Was Everything by Sloan Harlow. Terrible "romance", annoying characters, horrible twists that had my eyes rolling out of my head. 2 out of 10.

How long until he notices?

Logies start at 7 pm - thoughts?

Curlews ❤️❤️

The random crying has stopped but baby girl has learned that being vocal works for things she wants 😆

She tried whimpering to go outside yesterday, she sooks for the heater to go on, and today she cried for me to unblock the chair and lift her up. (She’s perfectly capable of jumping but I’m trying to spare her knees)

No Ulthar this weekend, but that's alright because it turns out a friend's birthday was on at the same time. He only ever sends out Facebook invites so I've missed it the past few years. One time I straight up missed it and another year the boys were too difficult to put down.

It was good because I had this gift I'd been meaning to give him for almost two years, so it's nice to finally hand that off.

Sad as fuck

I hate the movie Rubber (2010). I saw it years ago because I thought "oh a horror comedy about a murderous tyre, yeah sure!" And it turned out to be the most boring, pretentious slop I've ever seen; I should have known as it is a French film, but sometimes the French have good horror so I gave it a chance - MISTAKE! I watched it all the way through and just couldn't stop loathing it. I made the mistake of telling my mate at the time, so when I went to see him, guess what he had on 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ so I've seen it twice and it sucked arse both times.

What's a film or piece of media that gets you irrationally angry?

Good morning. I couldn't sleep, so I wrote about Sten guns

It has been a beautiful sunny afternoon. I took Mr Woof out for a walk and let him pick the route. Miss Meow helped bring in the washing off the line, which primarily involved rolling around on the concrete under the washing line.

Cooee

Midnight gnocci was great. I was a bit worried about having to cook the gnocci in the microwave, but it worked fine. I am now gnocciful and ready for the rest of the night.

Reddit musta fucked up again, the neckbeards are upticking

Sleep was OK. Did wake up after 2 hours but fell straight back to sleep which is a win!

This however, is not :(

lovely sunny day here , I think I will do some light work in the garden, still tidying up really, it's over grown and i keep finding piles of rubbish 😠 if I do anything I have to stop any weeds from flowering

Who cares about fruits and animals.

Teletubbies and Tiddlytubbies are our overlords.

I got too hot and turned off the electric blanket… that was a mistake

Just present the nominations without the shit chat. No wonder it goes so long.

Housework and A Tribe Called Quest...

I think I made the best steamy nachos so far today. Even then, I felt I was too slow on adding the flour and cheese when the time came. So that means even better steamy nachos in the future

He just vindictively ate cheese at the cat
