Made it down the bellarine today.
Almost time for the sunset solstice cold swim!
Also lemon tree just refuses to settle down, picked so many a few weeks ago and it’s still going like mad poor thing is tilting:
I think I’ve caught one of the viruses going around, I’m starting to get a sore throat. Covid test was negative at least, so I can still count myself a member of the small “never had Covid” group. But if I’m part of the “feels like swallowing razor blades” group that someone went home from work with yesterday that will be little comfort.
A mate of mine saw Albo at an RSL in Davenport last night. Anyone know why Tue prime minister is in Tasmania at the moment?
🔥solstice has rounded. May your year be brighter in whatever fashion you need 🔥
Got up at 6 am fully refreshed. Logged into work stupid early and finished all my stuff by about 9 am.
Still logged in but playing video games on my PC.
I think this is a good Friday
Have just heaved a packet of sausages, some curry paste, a shittonne of vegetables and the last leftover can of the cider into the slow cooker. Dinner will be ready at 8 ish. Dunno what you’d call it - bangers & hash stew maybe? Melbourne coddle? Kept back some parsley & lemon zest & garlic for stirring through at the last minute.
The crisper drawer is now empty. Note to self - buy more grog.
Saving your post incase I ever dare to try the tiny slow cooker that was given to me but haven’t had the courage to use yet due to lack of experience.
Oh Duenan, the slow cooker is the best gadget ever in the kitchen. Whatever you cook on the stove, you can do in the slow cooker. Hmu when I’m sober. The slow cooker is my forte and I’m sure a lot of people here are the same.
Yours truly got two dates (one maybe Saturday and the other Sunday) this weekend. Super excited for Sunday one as I like her but not too sure on Saturday 😊
We’re planning a garden visit followed by drinks at a board games cafe on Sunday!! Should I get flowers? What do I wear?!! I’m nervous now 😪
Flu vaccine and covid booster today. Wish me luck.
Stab complete. Nurse was nice. Sitting around for 15 minutes and looking forward to getting back under my blanket.
Good chance I’ll get side effects because I’d put off the booster for too long. I’m not usually afraid of needles unless it’s an injection. Then they fuck with me. Blood tests? Ez pz go ahead here’s my veins they’re very visible (I get compliments all the time).
Injections? What if something goes wrong? What if my arm doesn’t stop bleeding? What if I get side effects? I’ll do it next week! doesn’t do it next week
Unlike my other big irrational fear, I can just shut this one off by reminding myself that that’s stupid and I’m being an idiot. Then I just avoid looking at it and don’t feel a thing.
The fear has returned a bit now that I’m sitting for 11 of 15 minutes and every slight feeling could be a lethal side effect woah aaaa!
Damn, me, if only you were in basically one of the best places to experience a side effect right now and have nothing to worry about even if you are right.
Okay that’s my ramble. The Morning Show is on and I needed to focus on less unpleasant things like serious side effects.
Go get yer shots. Don’t be a bad like I was.
TV review. Mother’s Instinct. How boring, how unoriginal, another spree killer movie. But wait, this one is edgy, it has 1960s repressed housewives with perfect make up. 🙄
2 hobbits because the production is pretty and the leads are good and maybe you like these stories
The Acolyte. This is NOT the Mandalorian. No fucks given for any of the characters, acting is passable. This show has had a charisma bypass.
maybe 1/2 hobbit cos it’s made in that incredible surround studio
Coughing and sneezing up so much snot still. Its been a week and a half, surely its gotta end soon!
I had to dislodge some unsavouries from my nose holes this morning. Thankfully I’m on the mend because I’m going stir crazy being inside. Hope it’s not too much longer for you.
After my partner went to work, I went for a walk and got a coffee from Mokum. It’s a Dutch place, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I always giggle at the name and say “mo’ cum” heheh.
Anyway, they give you a small ginger biscuit with your coffee, and taking a bite then taking a sip is just the most delectable experience. Such a lovely place!
If you’re ever on Sydney Rd, drop into Mokum. Just a great cafe!
