Waffle fries are the superior potato shape and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise.

Edit: why yes fuck head uber eats scooter guy, come onto the footpath while I'm right there and almost run me over.

Fuck this suburb. 4 months to go.

Biscoff is not good enough to merit a collab with literally every food brand in existence. They must be spending an absolute fortune.

The first few times I tasted it I loved it, but I got sick of it pretty quickly. I've got a half used jar I bought for something I made that's probably due to be chucked out.

No, really!

Iโ€™m not sure what youโ€™re saying here. If you combine Biscoff with a spoon, something magical happens..

Right! Like Aperol a couple of summers ago. Why is it everywhere?!

Homeward bound. 20 mins until my train back to Melbourne. Had a great time and met my good friend's friends. He hired a company that makes fire cooked pizza, they drive in with a trailer of two wood fired pizza ovens and supplies, and kept us fed with fresh pizza for hours. Quite buzzed and glad I didn't stay longer or I'd be toast

Otherwise maybe a warm drink or shower, a movie, a nap? Wrap up tightly in a blanket?

Let yourself shake if you need to

Helped aunt out with what turned out to be some rather disastrous painting of some old cabinetry with wall paint and wall tiles with metal paint. I am not good at this but it was fun helping out and tidying out some insanely messy areas. The place looks so different now, absolutely not suitable for old people but I'll be sad to see it go and not get to visit them there. Anyway I'm properly pooped. Psyched to get some house chores smashed tomorrow though
