Miss Meow didn't wake up this morning.

I think I'm a bit in shock and not sure how to feel, this is very unexpected.

I strung some bead necklaces for Miss Seagon's b'day. It's not as easy as it looks. Made with garnets, aquamarines, seed pearls and many different kinds of crystals and beads.

Playing a show Thursday. It'll be a good warm up for the year.

Decided I'll be doing one every couple of weeks from now on.

We'd been wondering how to get the kids to clean up after themselves more and getting a robot vacuum cleaner has unexpectedly resolved that issue.

The kids are so excited about having a robot and they want to be it's friend so they put things away so the robot can do its job. It's been a double win

yay, Miss Seagoon loved her new necklaces, she wore the blue green silver one and fiddled with it a lot. It has so many different shape beads, it's long and it's asymmetric, making it very tactile.

So looks like a win. 😊

Finally ordered a NAS and it arrived today. I could probably do the same thing with the PC running OMV I have, but there's so much more setup involved and I keep running into roadbocks with networking. I'll use this and keep it simple whilst I learn to do things by myself

Back from the beach yesterday..

pothole: 1

Car tyre: -1

Crawled to a servo in werribee about 11am. Sat there for 4 hours waiting for a tow. Luckily bro and SIL were at the werribee zoo and gave us a lift back. Left car at the servo and key with the servo dude for the tow (quite common apparently had my doubts though).

Sat next to bro/SILs bubz... he woke up, had one look at me and started crying.

Back home at 5pm. Out for dinner for some overpriced gnocci but the garlic focaccia well up there. Sat next to same bubz who was hitting me on the arm and laughing at me for 2 hours.

Apparently tow arrived at 8pm lol.

I'd give yesterday a solid 6/10.

Coulda been worse.

We wondered for a while what nationality the neighbours from across the road were. Islanders of some sort. Well today the question has been solved. Their JBLs are so loud I was able to shazam it from my garage. They're Samoan and they like to sometimes party on a school night.

Soupe allemande for dins tonight. Which is something of a slur, but very very delicious. As with all good food, it fails the instagram test spectacularly. Good pork sossiges with plenty of character, spuds, carrots, cabbage and a bay leaf/juniper berries all gently simmered in water and then cream added at the end. Enjoy with cous cous or leftover rice or just cubed bread to soak up the jooses.

Whenever I have a bath I always ask the fam if anyone wants second hand bath water and there's never any takers although the dog trots in like I'm giving away ham.

Question: What's something nice you've done for someone else lately?

monday is start the unKaos again

Well, we got El-Jannah for the whole office so Monday is salvaged!

It’s brighter today than it was yesterday, for the first time in like 6 months. Keep hope alive.

Good night everyone, sweet dreams 😘

Blergh.

That is all.

My new role has been particularly complicated and annoying due to EOFY. Today is the final day things are particularly complicated and annoying. Very excited for this one particular process to go back to normal tomorrow.

Edit: where is chef? I still want curried sausages and mash!

WFH as I've caught The Thing Going Around from the kids

A stressful dream about jigsaw puzzles. Giant boxes of pieces and I had move them with losing one piece. Like millions of pieces.

Feel the need for some Kitchen Sink Monty Python Drama ...lol
