Melbourne

It's not hot take Tuesday but here's my hot take anyway: eggplant is terrible. How do people like it?!? It's so soggy and bland no matter how you cook it 🤢

sitting and thinking on the train about who I am, who I wanna be and where I'm (metaphorically) headed. Anyone else feel like there is all these versions of you crowding around almost like ghosts all trying to fit into the one vessel?

So I don't qualify for the Sydney role because they require someone in office once a week.

Got some really useful feedback and info from the recruiter though, so that's something.

Another interview tomorrow at 2pm. Not super excited about this one, but if it comes through so be it.

Hot take Wednesday. When a recipe says to scoop out the seeds in tomatoes or cucumbers for a salad or whatever. No. I paid for those seeds. They are going in. I don't care if it makes it soggy. Plus that's extra work that I'm not prepared to commit to.

Tragedy has struck the Raven household. My faithful beaters will beat no more. Over 20 years of faithful service, rest well my friends you will be missed.

Nightmare scenario

You haven't lived until the smoke alarms go off when you're in the dunny 😂

I burnt my dinner :/

Cats are still on a diet. The fighting between them gets more intense as they stake out the limited food resources.

Bill is looking good , just a little bit chomnk. Ted is on the light side of hefty chonk whereas he used to be on the heavy side, Ted waddles 😞.

sky blue, balloons pretty

I happened to be in the kitchen washing my dishes at 5 pm just now. The cleaner came in and emptied the organic waste bin into the general waste bin.

I'm scandalised. If the organic waste bin weren't there, I wouldn't think much of it. But to have it be there and be a total lie isn't cool. 🤬

I have successfully aquired new bulbs for my headlights, after realising one of them was out last night. If I can now motivate myself to actually install them this may be my car's shortest cyclops period yet. Usually I am terrible at getting myself organsed to actually buy the bulbs.

As a bonus Supercheap Auto is next to NQR, so I have also replenished my supplies of cheese, butter and fish. Also a couple of bonus meat pies.

Why do ducks have tail feathers? To cover their butt quacks.

Guess I'm the night owl tonight.

I'm almost at the end of reading the entire SCP catalogue. It's taken about 3 years and honestly, it was worth it.

In the continuing saga of trying to get the business verifed on google, we finally got the video call working, but the banner signage I had was deemed inadequate and 'you need a permanent sign'.
I explained we never had one for privacy reasons (it was Mum's house after all) and I'd be moving mid this month anyway.
So more or less back to square one. At least I got some clearing and sorting done.

It was nice this morning with there sun out so I decided to fix up and take out everything for hard rubbish.

Had people going through my pile of stuff as I was taking it out and things have been moved already when I made a nice neat pile for pickup.

Bleh.

Sorted out some admin stuff and left my union.

Now to make a coffee and relax with the radio and some gaming.

Feels freezing here, oodie has been deployed.

Hands down hoisin duck spring rolls are amazing.

There is no turning back now.

I refuse to go back.

Do I go out and buy some sour cream for my enchiladas or could I do without? That is the biggest dilemma I face today.

Coconut curry and roti has been eaten.

I went to sleep at 7ish and just woke up. It's a bit early, but I got enough sleep and woke up late enough that I can probably push through until a normal time tonight

Hola

Fridge has been cleaned, freezer has been organised.

I should mop the bathroom and do some washing while I still have motivation

It was just afternoon and nearly home from the shops. A ten minute drive. I was thinking about nothing in particular when suddenly flames erupted from the engine bay. The smoke was whispering out of the air con vents as I was maintaining a reasonable speed. Should I ditch it or press on?

The car was still operational but the smoke was getting thick inside the cabin. I didn’t want to lose her and only the fire brigade could help me now.

I pressed on. Faster now. Flame wasn’t visible past the smoke. I needed a phone urgently, to call the fire brigade . I felt like a WW2 fighter pilot limping back to base after being shot to shit.

I had to ditch.

Brigade arrived but it was just too late. Write off and move on.

Who knew?

Only just saw this on abcwebsite.

Not sure why it's so hard to do art when I want to. It's hard to be alive and do anything really. I have to fight against so much physical and mental stuff to even have a hobby. I'm even taking high dose vitamin D supplements.

it's a nice day, think I'll go to the park and the shops

Also, I'm glad I read more than one newspaper, the way stories are reported differ so much between publications, as in research and facts
