I’m ready to face Christmas now.

VID

Got a delayed buttock / hamstring injury from moving concrete the other day.

No-one expects the ~~Spanish inquisition~~ delayed buttock injury.

It’s nice seeing people’s Christmas trees. I myself don’t decorate because no kids and can’t be bothered. There are a couple of houses nearby that do lots of lights and I look forward to them putting their decorations up. So to all the decorators out there, thankyou for the Christmas spirit, sincerely from the non-decorators. We appreciate it.

Goodnight all ❤️

olive buns are done

Man, I really have to go out more. I'm the awkward person in the group tonight.

Admittedly I'm the outsider in a somewhat close knit group, but still.

Noted.

Back from shopping. Soooooo humid. Preston market is crazed, they had the misting spray on to cool people down - in close to 100% humidity. Not terribly effective.

Side note : found a lonely block of frozen tofu at the bottom of the freezer. I'm bored with my usual marinades so any suggestions? I usually do either a curry paste based one or a standard soy/mirin/chilli one.

SENPAI NOTICED MEEEEEE

I've died and gone to heaven 😍🩶😍🩶😍

can I just add , this weather is really shitty for humans

but it's good for bread making so today I will be making a dozen olive bread dinner rolls and I'll add a cup of warm milk to the mix to make it extra soft, tender and milky white.

Two breakfast day today 😍 scrambled eggs on toast with avo first. Then cafe at 1130 W my friend to play some chess and have a bagel and coffee

Place is looking a bit more habitable, wfh desk setup, still very cluttered and need to get rid of the poang footstool (chair in bedroom piled with crap) which will open up more space.

Let's hope my plants will look this lush over the next 6 months! These are the survivors after many deaths (and much neglect in a sunnier place).

So what's everyone doing tonight?

The amount of sales-related emails and texts I’ve been getting is staggering. More than any previous year I feel. These businesses ask for a mobile for an online order and then it gets used to spam promotions. Mass unsubscribing is in order.

I don't understand how people can eat a hsp in one go. I have a small one and this is at least 3 meals.

Blue skies, smilin' at me ... for the first time today.

We'll go with this one, the daily threads have been creeping too far before the day they're for.

I'm fine with a little early, it's better than too late.

Paloma time!! Cheers, all!

Hectic rain on its way, thank goodness - it's been so warm and humid overnight!

Gonna have a bit of a lie in and then start on moving around shit in the living room and unpacking that stuff once and for all. And putting together the damn bookshelf.

Errrrgh. Morning. It's raining. And I have to do a big shopping. Errrrgh. Does anyone sell intravenous coffee?

No xmas tree but bI've assembled the bookcase after much effort...

Really annoyed with myself because i hate sending shit to landfill out of my own carelessness, but I'm going to have to just move on (and remind myself at least my consumption and waste ends with me).

At least the bookshelf is still usable for now and I can start moving shit onto it so I can finish unpacking. And it's probably had a good run. Still, feeling low... need a win... that doesn't involve spending money...

it ain't much, but it's honest work

Slept straight through the night. ~10pm-5am.

It was worth going out!

Was decent and Defs feeling a lot better despite not having heaps in common with the people.

Time for leftover HSP, Cat cuddles and PS5

I’m going through my social media profiles retrieving anything I might want to keep and deciding who to give an email address to. Perhaps a vpn might help me continue using them but then if I get caught that’s it.

I’m not expecting many people with weaker ties to keep in contact if I close them.

Ps. This isn’t actually going to protect children, just drive them underground and into unregulated spaces. It’s 100% a grab for surveillance/control and cheap political point scoring on the part of the Australian government

Slowly trying to reorganise my living room and unpack in bits and bobs. Realising how goddamn little space this place has sigh. Can't fit my wfh desk and my bookshelf on the same side of the room without the bookshelf completely blocking access to the blind cords and window winder... unless I have my desk facing the window but that seems like a really bad idea. Then again, I doubt I'll be wfh that often. It would help if I didn't have all these damn boxes in the way...

Androids update for my phone has changed all my overlay weather thingies to Fahrenheit. I've gone into every setting I can find and changed it back to Celsius, I've restarted my phone, but it's still Fahrenheit.

😑😑😑😑

If anyone is wondering, it's currently 68°F
