Apparently my great grandfather was a Bobby back in England. I have his truncheon. Looks like it's had a few knocks too.. probably sorted out some likely lads. Found it while sorting out my Nanna's belongings.

What I thought work from home would be like:

What it's really like:

I have been to a predictably lame mini market

I'm done and dusted. Goodnight everyone, from Gibson and her "house mate" ❤️

Last four nights I've been grinding my teeth like a mofo, and have a slight cold. Bailed on all my plans.

My head is exploding, my teeth are aching. Ugh! That's my Sunday Rant!

Goodnight all ❤️

The bicycle users group had a family barbeque today. There was a ride before, but I knew taking the boys would have been enough. I didn't need to do another 20km on top of the 18 getting them there and back

Tired and literally covered in dust from helping my aunt move a bunch of shit around. But she made me lunch, packed leftovers and even gave me $100 petrol money out of sheer gratitude (after much protesting by me - she said it would make her feel better) She and my uncle have grown so much older. While I'm sad that this chapter of my memories in Melbourne is ending too, I'm very glad that they're moving on from a home that's too big and hard to maintain at their age. And I'm very glad I went out and helped them, felt very good to be of use and generous with my time and energy. I miss doing this more often.

E: downstairs is watching ABC at the same time as me waiting for Fisk to start but she's watching it on DTV and I'm watching live on iview, and our feeds are slightly off from each other. Woops.

Spooooooooooky week. Inspired by Scooby Doo.

Question for anyone who's visited NZ. Is there a place that really stood out for you?

So much to choose from.

All I have to do is clean the house, and do meal prep then I'm free to do whatever I want.

Come on motivation. Come on!

Adding gym to the mix. Fuck it why not.

So it's only taken 2 hours to get the smoker to a stable temperature, remind me why I do this to myself again?

Just offered the psychiatrist across the road some green bin space as he's pulling out a lot of stuff from his fence. His wife is a pharmacist.

Wonder if they'll give me a free sesh and some drugs.

Quiz?

Must have been a day for misfits. Blown headlight, almost ran out of fuel and came home too tired to bother going to a Halloween gig I’d already purchased entry to.

Oh well, c’est la vie.

Today’s list so far:

• Replace bulb
• Escape chores once again

I finished with my Pyunkang Yul skincare and am now trying Purito. I did love the feel and texture of the former, but the Dermide range from Purito has helped my ridiculous dry spots in about 2 applications. I think the barrier cream is like the La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume, which I didn’t use effectively. We’ll see how it all goes by the time I finish the Purito products.

Happy Sunday, all.

I’d like my face not to resemble sandpaper.

Forgot I did washing yesterday and left it in the machine overnight.

Whoopsie doodle.

Wonder how many tissues I left in pockets.

I love fresh bed linen but doing the stripping and remaking of the bed is annoying. I have a special dislike for stuffing the doona back into the cover. But I always appreciate it once I’ve done it, and am looking forward to the fresh made bed tonight. Mmm crispy clean bed, good sleep ahead.

Awake for UFC. Going to be a long day 🥱

Saw someone I knew ran a marathon, so I went to search them on Strava. They have their map on and so I can see where they've started and ended their runs, unless they've hidden part of their route. That is super dangerous information to have on there.

Library books just went back. Grand
