    My absurd candle order arrived.! The house smells amazing and I've not even lit anything ๐Ÿ˜ธ

    I had that with a candle I bought for my girlfriend. You didn't even have to light it, you could just open the lid and smell it since it was so strong.

    Also, I remember reading a guide on how to burn a candle years ago. It sounds like a silly concept but it was advice on how to stop the wick tunneling into the wax so it was actually quite useful

    These are just 100% beeswax, no added scents. Ideal burn time is a thing, you'll waste them lighting for too short a period.

    Last week I started getting off the tram earlier and earlier on the way home and walking the rest of the way. Today I decided to just walk the whole way, took an hour on the dot. It's about half an hour using trams. It felt good! Can see myself doing this almost every day I think (weather permitting). My GP will be happy if it lowers my blood pressure.

    I think Mickey is going to fare better in the cattery than I will being around 3 children under 5 for 3 weeks.

    At least the woman who runs the cattery is a massive Cat Woman; she isn't great with people but amazing with cats.

    I am not amazing with children, it's very difficult to censor myself or not say something inappropriate (it's a My Family Surname issue ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ). I guess I will just do my best to take an interest in what they want to talk about, though I'm sure they will be rather preoccupied with each other rather than the adults.

    So maybe I can sneak off for my durries, joints, and beer without too much fuss ๐Ÿ˜‚

    Also, stupid question I could Google but I'm very lazy: I have a number of Sally Hansen insta dry nail polish, can I take that on the plane? Either carry on or the other thing where they store big bags (words espace me, I'm hungover, sorry)

    yes, you can take nail polish but not nail polish remover

    cargo hold

    and you will do fine with kids, just treat them like adults with special interests

    ok, a miss seagoon story

    when Miss Seagoon was 3.5 she went to her grandpa and step grandma's house to stay for a weekend. Step grandma was a very prim and proper person. My parting words to Miss when her dad drove her over was , "don't say any rude words like fuck. " I had friends over and they laughed when they heard the goodbye. We all swear a lot.

    It's three kids once a year. I mostly do it because my mate is in town so I crash their family xmas and my removalists tongue sets off the swear jar comments. I grew up with looser parents who just swore around their kids.

    I read it as every time you swear ๐Ÿ˜‚ my bad lol I was like "bruh, I'd need 10x $50s just to cover me getting up in the morning" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

    And yeah same, dad swears quite a bit and mum's as bogan as they come so there was no hope for me ๐Ÿ˜‚ many a detention spent picking up litter at lunch for saying "fuck" in primary school ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

    They're $5 a swear so I just pre-buy some credit. I still need to watch my language, it's good practice. I've just been so shitfaced with my mate I forget that his more conservative family is at the table with us. They're lovely people but they've never snorted drugs off another human.

    Well. So hereโ€™s the thing.

    Gibson doesnโ€™t like to wear things. And after several rounds of Mortal Kombat (and antibiotics for me and a tetnus shot tomorrow) we had to go back to the vet for the cone of shame.

    There are padded puffy alternatives to the cone. You might be able to overnight order one.

    Oh dear. Poor Gibson has had a day. If you're home and observing she might manage without the cone. In the past I've connected the cone to a separate collar to make it easier to get on and off too.

    The vet will call me tomorrow and we can see if I can take it off. Iโ€™m going to be out a lot of the week for interviews but I have to admit she accepted it a lot better than the suit.

    Any idea which bowl is best for water?

    It's an awesome picture. It must have been very exciting to spot a dolphin. I bet it looked huge to naked eye, microscopic in a photo. I try to zoom everything but I don't have a good camera, it has limitations.

    And omg, did you get a pic of a live Pheasant Shell? They are so pretty, I've never seen one live.

    It's definitely a beautiful world out there. ๐Ÿ˜Š

    Today at the beach I saw a Polycheate, a bristle worm. I did not touch it, luckily, as many of these marine animals are venomous.

    it's the purple and red worm looking thing with a hundred legs. It moved quite fast when my shadow crossed it. ( it was so brightly coloured irl, really pretty even if it was a monster )

    I also saw a sea urchin in a rock pool, it was moving it's spines.

    and a cloudy day over the bay, I dressed warmly and the breeze was quite nice

    we're getting a good education on beach and sea life here on this board ๐Ÿค“

    I have to look everything up to see what they are before I post here, I can't just say, "here is a thing with a lot of legs "

    I have bought myself my first mango of the season. Bit worried itโ€™s too early for them to be good yet, but the aroma got me when I walked past them, couldnโ€™t help myself.

    Mate the drama of getting Gibson into her carrier. Ended up having to use the jumbo size one :(

  • source
  • hideshow 5 child comments
  • [โ€“] 4 points 1 year ago*

    I assume the sedative she got was gabapentin otherwise thatโ€™s a suggestion.

    Melbcat is usually very good but when she was first getting used to it I would tip the carrier onto its back end and gently drop her in. That sometimes buys you a second to shut the door before they rocket back out. A top-down carrier is also an option.

    Another cat I had to trick by putting treats inside so heโ€™d half go in and then quickly pushing his bottom in to shut the door.

  • [โ€“] 7 points 1 year ago (1 child)

    So tiredโ€ฆ Melbcatโ€™s med times desyncing isnโ€™t going to be easy to handle. But whatever. Iโ€™m just going to have to follow the alarms and cat nap between doses.

    Iโ€™ve ordered some supplements that may help her bladder as antibiotics may worsen antibiotic resistance :( And some more oral syringes.

    Tomorrow/today I book the home visit for her blood pressure and try to finish tidying up for that. Hopefully the vets bring the medication if itโ€™s ready.

    Despite it all sheโ€™s a trooper. Still jumping up and down from her chair by herself, eating her meals, and wanting to look outside.

    Just spending the evening doing some sewing and mending.

    It annoys me no end good jumpers are being eaten by moths. I use eucalyptus wash, I hang up moth repellant, I store carefully, I hunt down moths. I still get damaged jumpers. Maybe I should buy acrylic instead.

    @Seagoon_ @YarraByte noooo. I'm trying to get rid of the plastic in my wardrobe. It's slow going but I'm getting one or two new op shop finds most times I look. Got the most gorgeous tie-die silk top for peanuts the other week, I had honestly forgot how lovely silk is, been a while since I wore any.

    Jam?

    Peanut butter?

    Crushed pink mini meringues?

    Tinted marshmallow fluff or meringue icing? https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/how_to_make_swiss_meringue/

    Cookie dough? https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/255365/edible-cookie-dough/

    Cookie butter?

    Halves of pink Oreos like salami rounds?

    Fruit leather like bacon?

    Slices of pink cake?

    Slices of firm jelly or milk jelly?

    spoilerYou could add an extra pack of unflavoured jelly to the recipe for milk jelly for an opaque pink sliceable substance. https://www.food.com/recipe/milk-jelly-529101

    Or add a can of condensed milk to the recipe for Knox blocks https://www.food.com/recipe/knox-blocks-281669

    Hereโ€™s an unholy car crash between the two (creamy blocks) but I donโ€™t know how it would hold up structurally https://momwithaprep.com/knox-blocks-with-1-box-of-jello/

    Homemade pink protein bar dough rolled out flat?

    Prepare and slice a large pink mochi?

    I read that too.

    ๐Ÿ˜ก

    The focus should be on the loss of 1 billion by Australian workers, money taken by employers. " australian workers underpaid 1 billion by colesworth"

    the way the article is presented it makes out like colesworth is going to take a loss. NO. They are being made to repay what they TOOK from workers.
