Housework should be suspended when things are shitty. But I've washed a load of laundry, cleaned a litterbox, emptied the bins and recycling, cleared a bench and wiped it down. The dishes may need to be put in to soak.
There's an instant pot I want to lend to a friend and I've put it in its box but can't find the manual...
Ha I lost mine almost immediately but they are all online https://instantbrands.com.au/pages/product-manuals
It's baffling. There's only a space of a few metres it ever occupied but the booklet has just walked off
Cheers, if I can't find it they can download
Winning on Marketplace today - a few big things out of my house and one more collection arranged for tomorrow. It's such a hassle that when you decide you don't want something anymore it doesn't just instantly vanish, you have to actively do work to get rid of it! At least this lot got some interest, a few other things I couldn't give away and had to put out for hard rubbish (although most of it was taken at that point).
salad for dinner has been made, potat, chicken, celery and home made mayo/yoghurt, curry /mango chutney dressing
I am drunk! Wooo!
I'm so tired. wooo ๐ด
That singular bag of ice is already deceased. ITUS
Ps I smell terrible
There's an aircon in the lounge room but she'd rather be a puddle on the bed.
Creek doggo is now a slightly less hot doggo
Finally got the motivation to tackle That Cupboard in the kitchen (you all know the one). Better half of two bin bags and a good half of the yellow bin later, plus a few things for the op shop pile and a few things I need to sort/see if they can be repaired etc.
Now time for a well earned drinkie and later, watch more of Mary and George.
I decided to sell my weights set as, despite best intentions, I have really not been using it. One last workout getting everything to the door for pickup. Miss Meow is going to miss the bench, she enjoyed sitting on it.
Edit: weight set is now out of the house. No idea how the guy who bought it is planning on getting it into his car. Mr Woof is keeping an eye on him while he tries various tetris combinations.
Omg the ABC wrote an article about a food thing from where I grew up! https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-03-09/the-florrie-horsham-steak-based-dish-history/103541146
I spent years trying to find them around Melbourne but never did. I even asked on the alien site, but not many people even knew what it was.
I will fight for the Florrie though. When made right, it's absolutely fantastic and every time I stay in Horsham I still get a couple
They're not particularly difficult to make:
Back in the early 2000s, I was working in Heidelberg Heights industrial area. All the lunch caffs had a pan fried egg & breadcrumbed ham & cheese chunk in a sammo on the menu - no beef in it though. Just called a fried ham/cheese sammo not a florrie. Same idea though. Might be worth checking to see if they still do them.
Having small tiles in a bathroom is a mistake from a cleaning perspective, because the more grout you have the harder it is to keep it clean.
If I ever build /reno a bathroom, Iโm putting in walls that look like massive tiles. Seen them on fb - no grout, looks like marble.

Yes. I hate grout so much
Even more insane is using the tiny ones to do a bench top. Hello cleaning nightmare!
Agreed. Definition of insanity!
Normally I penny pinch to a ludicrous level (because I like having extra money for emergencies) but there's a $25 magnetic laundry shelf thing at Kmart that might keep things a bit tidier. It also holds a roll of paper towel but with the placement it could hold a hand towel.
I'm also wanting various art supplies. Perhaps a few more pairs of period jocks. Why does everything cost so much.
My sister has a few spread over her laundry and kitchen, very handy, 10/10 recommend
If I wasn't so tight fisted I would buy a few. I want to stop piling things on surfaces or leaving things on the floor.
Be careful with magnetic shelves, they can be addictive. I'm up to four in the kitchen and one in my locker at work. If you have the right spot for them they can be very useful.
Yeah, the spot I have in mind is the side of my washing machine which is right next to the bathroom sink. So I'm thinking the hand towel, the hand soap refill bottle and a few of the smaller laundry things.
29 degrees inside, and that's with six fans all blasting and blocked out windows. Goddamnit, why the hell aren't aircons a legal requirement in all properties?
Quick shoutout to all the parents and kids at the beach who brought boogie boards but there were no waves.
It's devastating. I've been there and it hurts bobbing around on some polypropylene for no reason, It may seem like your darkest hour but there is light at the end of the tunnel.
which brings us to the rave.

Oppressive night.
American Fiction is frigging hilarious. I haven't laughed out loud so many times watching a movie in ages.
Had a lovely time last night because my bestie came back to Melbourne for a week and we actually caught up this time! She came over for dinner with another old friend of mine and it's been sooo long since we spoke, when we used to catch up every week. I miss my old crew ๐ข
I've got a migraine so I've had some icy poles and fruit delivered. I feel so ridiculous lol. Grateful that the service exists though.
