  • Got out for a swim this morning and goddamn it felt amazing. Boyo and I are now proper zonked though!

  • Ugh. So sick of my weeping face.. it's sloooowly getting better but this hot weather is pretty hard. Cursing myself and my nighttime stupidity every day. Everyone starting work early Monday and Tuesday in order to finish early. I can't because school run. So I've got Monday off that I know of because there's no point in them having me go in for a couple of hours. Possibly Tuesday as well. Nice but need the moolah. So between cursing myself and being skint I'm a miserable bitch lol. Going to look at animal pictures 😄

  • Hilarity from the Other Place. No you should not ask your Ex to use a clone a Willy kit! Reminds me of the running bet I had with myself about how many pages into a thesis by a male sculpture student I could get without finding a replica of their cock.

  • Shout out to Pilpel for making one of the nicest taramasalata dips I've ever had I think. I will even forgive them for putting 'DAIRY FREE' and 'GLUTEN FREE' on the label. Had some on buttered bread and more on some lettuce leaves. Mega delicious - they've got the balance of fish roe and lemon juice just right. Seriously moreish.

    • I've heard their hommus is pretty good too. I'll have to try the taramasalata one of these days

    • taramasalata dips

      I've never heard of that. Will have to give it a go!

      • The standard recipie is salted fish roe (any sort), bread soaked in water, and lemon juice blitzed up with some olive oil. Dip comes out pinkish and creeeeaamy and loaded with umami. Lovely as a dip, or an emergency pasta sauce. Easy to get wrong, bloody delicious when done right. Would go OK with paprika on top I reckon.

  • I’m out watering the garden at the moment.

    Well, I am relocating and timing the sprinklers as necessary, patting the dog, listening to birdsong and drinking my morning coffee.

    • Ooh, I have to remember to soak the hydrangeas. Thanks!

      • My front sprinklers are on the fritz. I had to water half of my front yard by hand! Oh well. I had to do the naturestrip anyway.

  • My lemon lime bitters cost more than a beer.

    But what is sweet is the breeze in the trees up in Marysville.

  • Stuffed myself full of food and some wine for my dad’s bday.

    On the verge of a food coma which isn’t good as I need to drive home soon.

    Not a bad way to spend the weekend.

    • I feel like this is way more positive than it sounded previously! ☺️

      • Oh it was probably just me. I wasn’t feeling so particularly social about it all.

        Just have to suck it up sometimes.

        I don’t think I’ve seen the family in awhile. The small kids have grown up bigger than I remember.

  • Cool breeze coming in from the west here in Thornbury. Very welcome. Still humid and too hot for my liking. Some lightning off to the west.

    EDIT: first drops falling - gonna be epic!

    On reflection, if I'd washed the windows AS WELL as watering the garden, maybe it would have come sooner ...

  • Sometimes I just want to shave my head.

    No matter how much I vacuum, it’s like Tim from Demtel.

    • Heh. My rather colourful hair is often proof the cleaners at work aren't doing that

  • Breakfast breakfast breakfast... tomatoes and eggs and breakfast snags!

    Then the dishes 😒 I really need to get onto fb marketplace to look for a second hand benchtop dishwasher already

  • I rewatched episode 4 of The Pitt as well before going into episode 5. The real-time format makes it hard to watch week by week as I'd forget the patients but damn it's so heavy sometimes that you really do need a break between episodes. Again, very unusual for me normally to re-watch an episode so soon but it's so well made that I was glued to the screen the whole time revisiting everything. And I really couldn't stop crying over the bit with the siblings and their elderly father, especially the sister. 😭 It is really good tv. I suspect near the end of the season I'll end up re-watching the whole thing from the start. I love so many of these characters

  • 40 degree scorcher of a day ending with the biggest hail I've seen in years, rightio 🤷

    • Absolutely missing the inner east. I'll be lucky to see so much as a splatter I think...
