Happy Winter Solstice
It contains Bailey's with a hint of coffee.
I think the hot drink might be getting a bit too hot in that second photo.
That hot drink was just to put a lining on my stomach before I hit it hard.
Just went to a local shopping centre and got my fix of food court Chinese food, love it. Also unashamedly purchased a pair of Kmart trackies for each family member. They are unfortunately all the same shade of darkish grey ($8). Hey, the men's cheap trackies are cheaper, thicker and warmer, and come in more serviceable colours than the ones in the women's section, so 4 pairs of men's trackies in varying sizes it was. I am a bogan.
Reminds me I could use some more trackies, hope theyβre not too tight, I like them a little bit baggy.

Not to mention proper pockets. I see nothing wrong with any of this and consider it a good day

My mum sent me this photo, and I didn't even notice the bird at first. There was more going on in the background, but I cropped it to reduce the likelihood of being doxxed. 
Reminds me of this
Was going to go to the gym but will rest tonight instead. I think I'd be pushing too hard if I went tonight.
So:
Feed the cats
Make dinner
Setup drumkit and have a play
Maybe some video games
Cuddle with Fluffball.
I went to the local repair cafe and spoke to them about running an information session on switching old computers to linux.
They're open to it, so I'll have to put some things together and figure out a date.
I figure I could always make a big deal about linux gaming and turning your old hardware into a steam deck, then targeting it at teenagers in the area if I want to boost numbers
Is anyone else gonna have a bonfire tonight and howl at the moon?
Fire in the loungeroom, safely contained in a flued cast iron box? Why yes, i am.
I bonfired early, on Thursday and Friday. Tonight might be indoors with the central heating on. And a small howl or two.
If by bonfire you mean heater then yes!

That'll do. I don't make the rules. π
I am now! Lol
Heheh glad to be of service.
Who'd ya pick?
Carlton sadly even though I knew North were going to cause an upset.
Oh dear
Your boys are looking good today. Really going hard at it.
I know. So silly of me since I knew better :(
I have returned from the market.
The very handsome dude who sells me salami (this is not a euphemism, stop laughing) has grown a beard, and is even more absurdly attractive now
Aldi $4, 400g lasagna review:
spoiler
Yeah pretty good.
The bigger 8 dollar ones are pretty good too!
I read this as $4,400 lasagne. Which would be some lasagne.
yup, aldi dinners are ok π
yay, I have finished the painting. Now just to do to two more drawer liners, buff the paint with some brown paper to get the sheen patterns off and then tidy up. π
fuck, that was not an easy job, I first spent a week cleaning 70 years of yellow gunk from smoke from all the furniture, sanded everything, then had to do four coats to cover the white enamel. I also repainted the brass drawer handles in a silver gold paint . It might take a month for all the paint to fully cure.
I have wrecked two pairs of jeans with paint and my new slippers, luckily they were old jeans and cheap slips.
My new desk is huge but then I remembered I got it to do art work on , for big pieces of paper, so that's cool. Think I'll repolish it before I use it. π
