Melbourne

Today is a seasol day. Yesterday was a dynamic lifter day. Drastically underestimated the amount of dynamic lifter but I suppose that's not a bad thing because of the smell. Will do it in batches.

Parsley is having a good ol' time:

And the habanero / thai cross proved to be a very good tree to overwinter. Half the taste of habs but still hot af. Never stopped fruiting over winter (and lost very few leaves). Heaps of buds coming along so looks like early chillies this year.

Also heading to a gig tonight for the first time in ages. Will be more on the milder side of things so interesting to see what sort of crowd. At any rate looks like a lot of people are going (for that type of music lol) which is good to see.

This dude is playing

3 down.

First one was good.

2nd one I’m not super keen on

3rd one could work out well

4th postponed till Monday

I’m done for today. Music and video games time lol

Alrighty. Off to the in person interview shortly. Then the rest are either phone or teams.

Big day and I’m rewarding myself with a pizza of some description after it’s all done

Edit: one down. Not bad. 2 down. Not a fan of that one.

Goodnight everyone. After possibly one of the most mediocre falafels I've ever eaten, I'm going to bed because I am utterly knackered. Will probably say hi to some of you at 2am-ish lol.

I've been enjoying the Wu–Tang Clan - Black Samson the Bastard Swordsman album while making chilli oil, mowing and roasting capsicums. Got that funky NY hiphop beat. e: If you're looking for something new.

the irises are nearly open, they will be dark purple afaik

I have achieved more in 2 hours today than I did all day yesterday.

The lack of omnidirectional jackhammers works wonders

my emojis are broken :(

Ha! Real estate agent just tried to give me only 6 days notice for an inspection. Good luck with that buddy

Wind is absolutely wild out there. It's recycling bin day and there are so many boxes and things blowing around the streets it's crazy. I definitely won't be doing any gardening today. I could try washing my sheets, they would either blow dry in 10 minutes or get caught by the wind and end up down the street in the dam.

Alright another song learnt for the next gig. One more and I'm done.

Getting excited to get back out there!

Cheers everyone 🍺

@Force_majeure123@aussie.zone I'm disappointed in you.

I saw another wattlebird. This one was healthy and well

Delicious chicken wrap

I'm aiming to get on the good sleep crew tonight - fresh sheets have just been put on the bed.

dinner tonight will be home made burgers

I make em with heaped tablespoons of spices

Operation UnKAOS is going well.

I have practically no tidying of cupboards and drawers to do, which is the Fri morning task. I'm already pretty well organised in that regard. Garage is another question but even that is pretty good. That leaves ordinary daily upkeep, a little bit of gardening and afternoons are free. 😊

Do you reckon the makers of Tylenol will sue the US government for slander?

Shit sleep club. Had vivid dreams and woke up every hour. But I got through the day better than I thought I would. Some blunders here and there, but not so bad.

Cheers 🍻

good night, early for me, I need the rest

sweet dreams all 😙

Encountered a sus man on the train. He had music up very high, typical junkie, and many people were giving him death stares, which probably wasn't the best idea considering he could become violent. He was filming out the window on his phone with the flash on, and then turned the camera towards my friend and I, and stared staring. I was considering pressing the emergency button and telling the driver to yeet him off the train, but we just moved to another carriage. I don't think anyone else really gauged what was going on, because after the man started banging on the train window yelling out, "Benchod", they probably just avoided his direction.

When I see junkies around in this city, I know they're humans going through a rough time, but it's almost like these people have been bitten by zombies, and need an antidote. Unfortunately it's not as simple as getting a gun full of goo and they turn back.

It's time for a windy morning dog walk. Mr Woof always looks so sleek and streamlined with a headwind, then we turn around and get a tailwind and he looks like a complete mess. Wind creating a part around the butt hole is never an attractive look. 💨🐕

Many years ago (ok, decades ago) I replicated a coffee and date loaf I got from Baker's Delight. I haven't made one for a very long time and can't remember exactly what I put in it, but I'm going to attempt to recreate it again today. It should add a bit of variety instead of always doing a standard fruit loaf.

I might do a small white loaf too and a couple of pizza bases. I could do pizza for dinner tonight and lunch tomorrow.

Last day of work before a week of leave. Not going anywhere, just chillin' and doing local shit. Might extend into 2 weeks (I have so much leave accrued).

Pretty much finished my tasks as well, but have to hang around online to be 'available' should any questions arise.

Felt more productive today than the entire week combined, where I had permanent brain fog, tiredness and irritable mood. I'm blaming daylight savings for feeling off. Now to get blown away while getting some steps in and then relax 🍺

I’m probably going to be one of the bad sleep crew tonight. There are a few things to unkaos but having trouble getting moving.

Edit: For now - ten pulldowns on each arm just got done 😩
