It's about my favourite day of the year - the Friday of the Good Food & Wine Show!!
I managed to score some extra tickets, so if you are bored and want to try a lotta cheese and wine, hit me up! Empahsis on the wine and vodka and tequila and whatever the fuck chocolate-in-wine is.
Ohh. You must report on the WTF! And try Pie Thief if you've not before. Miss that shop so much.
Yeah, but heavily reduced menu and not 3 min walk from my (old) house ๐บ
I've been up. Where sun.
I dreamed I put on very dark purple sparkle eyeshadow
I dreamed I was looking after a puppy. It must have been the night for good dreams.
New sign on the tram this morning, half price travel from 1 June to 1 jan 2027. Not quite free but I'll take it
I've actually missed my inescapable myki ~~vulture~~ agent. That one dude really didn't like me. All he had to do was help a poor little ol' lady up the stairs of the 75 tram and we could've been friends. Perhaps in another life.
There was a bloke on today's tram (no.11) announcing that from Monday (1/6/26) we'd need to start touching off & on again, but that fare would be half price. Quite a good idea I thought - remind people to load up their mykis after a long couple of months when we didn't have to.
Quite a good idea I thought
They're just waiting silently, patiently in the shadows.. biding their time.. as soon as the clock turns 12... be afraid.. very afraid (even if your myki is valid.. there's an itch to scratch).
Perhaps turn over the responsibility for enforcement to the Fluffybutt Strays gang.
I didn't like they were telling people not to touch on when things were free. It would have helped track numbers to make a case for it to be free all the time

What up what up
It's Friday, sun is shining, gonna be a good day.
On my own for the Food & Wine show today, Boyo couldn't get off work and my bestie has bailed. I don't mind (too much).
I got ambushed this morning. Been ages since they tried to accost me.
I was 10 mins late.
You gotta watch out for those street gangs. You don't want to get behind on your protection money or there'll be trouble.
How dare
they were worried
where simon?
All those tails up in the air!
happy boyz ๐
Catch 22 movie review
how much is real, how much is Yossarian's unconscious dreams
I really like this screenplay, it sounds authentic
and the cinematography is always beautiful and interesting
4 hobbits
You'll have to compare it to the George Clooney series now
Must I?
how could they do remake when Buck Henry's screenplay is pretty much perfect
I'm not sure if it's any good. I put on the first episode years ago when I was sick off work. It's one of the only other adaptations I can think of
I watched half an episode, ๐คทโโ๏ธ
in my opinion did not need a remake
I got back upstairs from my work lunchbreak about a minute before the lift broke. Must have had the last good run!
brisk early morn awakening to a cat emergency, lil' shit is now wandering the house bitching at us. I care not, I straight up bailed on work and told them so.
hugs
it's not been long since you lost your beloved family pet
Wow. Kfc managed to do what the 2 coffees couldn't. I feel there maybe more. I'm impressed.
So what did you have?
I had a poo!
Just joking
๐๐ถโ๐ซ๏ธ
Boozy lunch at Daphne.
Recommend!
placement reflections
Classes went very shit today. I am sad. I could see a student look at me dejectedly and with terror because of the utter chaos. Chemicals and pre-pubescent boys don't mix well. I almost had a shut-down which carried into my next class. Lack of sleep, loud noise and no food don't mix well. A lot of it was a me issue which I am reflecting on how to do better.
Part of me wants to just give up but a small voice is telling me that I need to do better and is up for the challenge. I'm just going to finish this course and see how I go. Teaching is challenging and will help me learn to use my words better.
I think I would prefer something one to one. Or ditch the people aspect altogether and do something in an office. They get paid more sometimes and don't have kids refusing to do work even if you sit with them and try to help.
so many hugs
classrooms are not democracies, you are there to impose order, are there to teach, start classes by telling the students what they are going to learn that day . Certainty is very helpful to young minds. Look at what the teachers who have order do.
and yes, look after yourself, be the best prepared you , show no weakness!!
Listen to your confident voice. You can do this
Hey, I loath teaching in a group sense. One or two at a time is a totally different thing. It's more of a conversation, so much more adaptable, and none of that being stared at bullshit.
Cheers squad. Beer oโclock ๐ป
Cheers AJ! Just got home from the show and am still mostly sober, so popped a bottle of champers. Hell yeah to Friday!
Cheers AJ ๐ป
