cluckenbouche it is! The new trend in party food. I feel like I need to make this happen in real life.

I'll have popcorn chicken stacked like croquembouche, drizzled with BBQ sauce and honey mustard mayonnaise, please. A big tower for everyone to share.

I am exhausted.

But at least dinner is good. Thanks Hello Fresh.

I bought headlight globes at SuperCheap last year. They were supposed to be extra long lasting, which turned out to only be two months. They also didn't seem to be as bright as they should have been. I got more expensive Phillips ones sourced from somewhere else to replace them and was much happier, they were brighter and still going strong when I traded the car in.

I went past one last night that's generally around the middle of the trend and it had already gone up. The tank was getting pretty empty after a couple of long drives so I put nearly 50 litres in, it would have been $27 more expensive to fill up at the more expensive one. Well worth a couple of minutes wait time.

I went to fill up before the petrol prices all jumped 60c, apparently everyone else was doing the same. The queue was out onto the road.

I also grabbed a few essential groceries while I was out - milk, coffee, cat food and cheese.

Edit: just looking at the receipt it appears I also bought "salted butt". My hot cross buns slathered with butt tasted pretty good ๐Ÿคฃ

The Hello Fresh meal kits arrive today, which will take me through the move and the first days in the new house. Breakfasts and half the lunches are already sorted too, I just need to add in some random sandwiches.

Today I will try to finish all the packing inside & get the shed packed up. Working tomorrow for a rest, then Sunday will be packing up all the last minute stuff. I'm feeling a lot better about my packing progress after taking a van load to the new house yesterday, I was able to take a bunch of hard to pack stuff up in bags and I have a bit more space in the second bedroom to actually move and finish the packing in there.

Mr Woof and Miss Meow are both being given a food additive that is supposed to be calming (some sort of milk protein, a lady at work swears by it) and Miss Meow has Feliway spray, diffuser and Gabapentin for the moving day. They may end up calmer about the whole thing than me!

2/10

I knew absolutely none of the answers. I just guessed B for everything.

I used to really hate them, but we have to do them a lot at work (mock phone calls primarily) and I'm fairly used to it now.

At the moment I am assuming everything missing has been packed into one of my boxes. Being tiny it is entirely possible he has slipped in with something else without being noticed. If so he is likely very safe with lots of soft packing material, but may not be able to return until unpacking happens next week.

Alternatively, he could have slipped through to another plane of existence, and Bacon is looking for him now? If so I'm sure he will be found quickly and will return to us very well fed.

Tiny, if you are out there, please bang on a pipe or something so we know you're ok...
