Thereโs so much good music in this city. Unexpected for a place that is at the end of the world. Hell yeah Melbourne.
Fuzzbutt was crying outside so I hurriedly made up the tentโฆ but he got impatient and left. Didnโt get to give the meds. Hopefully he comes back.
Iโm thinking of slinging some winter warmer poverty meals out there but donโt know whether to put it in Aussie Frugal or Food Australia
oodies for seagoons for this winter have been bought ๐๐ฅ
Behold, my $275 wooden spoon
Assembly was required. Fortunately there was an expert instructor and all tools required.
It started out as a chunk of firewood, then we used an axe and various carving tools to turn it into a spoon. The wood is from a nectarine tree. Once it has dried out fully in a few weeks time I can sand and oil it to finish it off.
It was rather hard work, and I am definitely cancelling tomorrows planned weightlifting session, as I am unlikely to be able to grip anything, let alone lift it.
I also got a bonus couple of garbage bags full of woodchips to put on the garden.
Did you do that? Nice job.
I was wanting to learn how to whittle but not sure I can be trusted with a proper sharp knife
They were very big on safety procedures and they also had cut resistant gloves. I did not cut myself or come anywhere close to doing so. I did however cut myself last night on a piece of dried chicken marinade baked onto a baking rack, so I think it's fair to say that washing the dishes is an inherently more dangerous endeavour than spoon carving.
Lost Trades Fair? Nectarine sounds beautiful.
It's the 'Rare Arts and Lost Trades' centre at Ballarat. It's next to Sovereign Hill, in what used to be the gold museum.
Zucchini Slice tonight ๐
Haven't yet decided, but I'm considering nipping down Lydiard St for a kebab
Stir fry of pork fillet & bok choy with mashed potato. Various tasty sauces according to whim.
I love a good whim
Steak, roast sweet potato, roast cauliflower, rocket salad at my place.
I love a good steak once in a while.
Ah shit. Despite posting about it 2 years ago I havenโt been shopping around between energy retailers or applying for discounts.
But Iโve had so much on my mind. Itโs constant survival mode with no time or space to really sit down and get anything sorted.
Itโs constant survival mode
I hear you
Yep. Itโs not even back to back crises, they overlap and stack.
Ooh it cold out there. I have procured pizza inputs and am now looking forward to dinner
I got the tent and set it up inside just in case. The little one has forgiven me for last night and came back this morning for food and gloved pats. Was meowing to come in.
Iโve got a big birthday coming up but am sad Melbcat isnโt here to share it. Iโm probably just going to do normal stuff (or as normal as things get around here).
aw, ๐ฑ๐โโฌ
He ran away in such a huff I was worried Iโd scared him off
he knows you're a sweetheart and it was one little thing that you were probably more worried about than he was
Yeah I think he knows I wouldnโt hurt him.
Years ago he had his little buns parked on my hot water heater (probably just a visitor at the time) and I was very gently poking him with a pipe to shoo him away (because of my cat)โฆ he wasnโt scared in the slightest and just smooched the pipe like I was patting him.
beach, will put a coat and warm hat on ๐
Tom Hanks is looking for him

Castaway
spoiler
Is anyone here, or does anyone know, a builder in the Preston/Thornbury kinda area who can do commercial fitouts? Nothing high spec, just enough to satisfy council permits and get me started pouring beers. ๐
I feel like I should get a prize for cleaning the house with a migraine.
Throwback to early days
Needs more begonias
beautiful ๐
Artemis II Integrity Capsule has safely splashed down. I admit I got a bit teary. ๐๐๐ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNFcP1QfSp0
So good. Textbook. I think I saw 3,200,000 peak viewers on the NASA YouTube livestream.
Decided I'm actually not going out today. The weather is just terrible and I want to sit outside lol
Will probably go on Wednesday arvo, as the weather looks better
Time to hurry up and chill
Give us all a heads up on the time cause down for some b'day drinks :)
Will do! ๐ธ
Just about to head out to the bakery on the corner for a banh mi and coffee. The word on the street is that they've just done a batch of coconut slice. Does anyone else want some?
