Great. PFAS chemicals (which are forever chemicals) have been found in ‘eco friendly’ paper straws, so they’re probably in paper bowls too. I’ve been going through it physically so was feeding my pet from those to make dishes easier…

Seagoon's movies. This weekend it's "All the Pretty Horses". What an amazing beautiful movie. It has been a long time since I'd read the book but watching this evoked the same feelings I had reading it. A story that is written to evoke the same emotions the lead character feels. Confusion. It starts with an injustice, he loses the family ranch, but he accepts it because he understands it's the law and he respects the law. He goes to Mexico where there is injustice and no law. It's just crazy . He and his pal barely escape. Coming back to America he speaks with a sympathetic judge and starts to understand his own experience.
Watch but don't expect a narrative that goes a to b.
Still not 100% so working from home tomorrow. Just want to feel normal again. Got a big week of work ahead and really need to be in the office....

Silly question, but it’s time to update the numbers on Melbcat’s tag. So can you order pet ID tags with phone numbers on from local pet shops online? It doesn’t seem like you can. And I want one with her name on the front and 5 lines on the back.
The last few times I’ve just got them from whatever website and hoped for the best, but any one of them could be shady.
Sorry no direct experience with online, last time I got tags it was in person at a pet supply store where they had an automated machine. Could only fit 2 phone numbers on the back because of the size of the tag, so that would be something to consider if you want to put a lot of text in. Maybe try Etsy? Look for sellers located in Australia that have a high number of good reviews. I’ve had good success using Etsy with this strategy.

I didn't end up going to the warehouse sound system event...
But..
Seeing the photos makes me regret I didn't. Looked like a proper abandoned warehouse gig. Hope there are more of them and maybe some daytime park partays come summer.
And..
Reading the comments on it, there are always people who lose things and ask if anyone has found it. This time one was a samsung s23.
So..
Back in my prime raver days the most you'd lose is a jacket and maybe a pinger and not a $1300 phone.
I'm not sure what the moral of that story is because there are a few.
Was it virus and others? Used to enjoy some of their gigs back in the day. Electronic underground music is not my vibe anymore but I'm glad they're all still into it and it's still happening.

Semi-rest and clean day. Dishes, laundry, make stew later, dust bust, might walk to aldi. Clothes I scored yesterday fit well, which is nice. I've decided I love dresses after all. I just need a couple more cute necklaces. Op shop mission and aldi maybe then. I have coles, woolies and aldi all about 5 mins walk from here. Plus another coles and woolies maybe 6 mintutes walk. The balaclava shopping strip is really good. Has the old footscray vibe to it with the (not so) cheap (anymore) stores and heaps of independent takeaway food. There's also a barber called edward scissor hands, which is about the only hipster themed thing I've ever not cringed at. Instead of random roaming junkies it seems like drunks and it's not close enough to the south yarra end of chapel street to be full of cashed up looking real estate agents in adidas.
