I have eaten far too many cadbury dairy milk peppermint mini easter eggs. And according to their website, Piedmonte's has just reduced the price by one third. Ordinarily I dislike cadbury choc, but I make an exception for peppermint eggses. Just sayin.

This morning kitty was sweet as pie, snuggling and resting her head on my shoulder. Tonight after spitting out her medication I'm being kicked out of bed
Kitties are so unpredictable. Yesterday Ted was biting me, today I am allowed to scratch behind his ear.
just finished Killing It s2....jeeeeeeeeeeesus chriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiist
I have only stepped out my apartment once in the past 3 and 1/2 weeks and that was to go to hospital . Can't wash my hair and have mostly been subsisting on frozen food. I missed xmas and nye with friends and fam too.
But I have recovered from depression so that is good.
I have so much to do. :)
I'm glad things are feeling better 🙂
Sauce dins:
Special shout out to the lovely retiree couple who always waves from their balcony on the way back from the beach and says hello. The world needs more of that. I have no idea who they are but they always say hey which is nice.
That looks wonderful. :)
How did ya keep the nuggets warm?
The way the sunset rays hit those nuggets making them golden. Superb.
Followed your advice with the foil with a few pricks. Not sure if there's a better way :)
Me neither. The pricks were a good idea.
I will be unable to make the new thread at midnight for tomorrow if somebody else could do it, that would be great.
Will do it ifyalike.
You're a legend
No probs.
I went to the art site of the youtube channel to see about the free colour wheels (it has a free stuff section). It looks legit but even with no cost and a free pdf downloadable it still wants your credit card details and address. That's gonna be a no from me dawg. Downloading anything is already something I'm hesitant to do. The ones being sold on art supply shops online are kind of different, not how I want.
I'm sure I could make equivalents if I was determined but honestly not really seeing the point. I've gone off art a little bit lately and am just feeling like shit, sleeping all the time.
gentle hugs
if there's anything I can do just ask :)
I came across paletton a little while back. Works pretty well, exportable colour charts, is web-based though.
Pizzas are in oven
Oooo
Mildura to Mallacoota by PT, 22 hours with the longest layover being a couple of hours. I'd arrive the next day, but because the last leg of the trip leaves the same day, the entire fare would only be the price of a daily
As someone who frequently caught the Tilt Train in QLD before moving here and had an alright time, I'm kind of curious as to what the route actually entails. Are there any swap overs, is there a decent stretch to get some sleep since it's a 22hr journey, are there sleeper cars, and what about food options/amenities?
-
tilt train (and Qld in general) is ♥️♥️♥️

the route is mostly coaches but does have 1 train. I've done the Mildura night coach a few times (which is 9 hours and arrives at 6am), plenty of people do get a nap on that but being a coach there's no sleeping areas, best you can do is put your seat back by about 30° and hope there's not too many potholes
The journey looks like this:
8am coach from Mallacoota to Genoa (30 mins)
Connect to a coach to lakes entrance (3hrs)
2 hour layover in lakes entrance
2:30pm coach to Tralagon (2.5hrs)
5:20pm train to Melbourne (2.5hrs)
2 hour layover in Melbourne
9:10pm coach to Mildura (9hrs)
Arrive in Mildura at 6am
The train is fairly smooth but not designed as a sleeper, so you could get a nap but it wouldn't be great
While not my thing, mostly due to the lack of trains and onboard amenities, I can see how it'd be a fun little adventure.
Not going lie, if you did do the trip I'd read a write up of your journey and how it went.
Getting to Malla is a bit of a trek so I probably won't do it unless I'm spending a night there. I thought it might actually be a nice YouTube video, but I'm more of a writer than a filmer! I'll chuck you a mention if I ever do (and I remember)!
But why
Spirit of adventure! And PT is freeing because you can look at the scenery
Why not
Fair
keen to start planning my next camping trip. heck, I could even do tidal river again. Its just so nice down there.
Pizza dough is rising, pizza sauce is made.
man I really wanna try that slow cooked lamb meatlovers from dominos. Even though I know its gonna suck.
maybe lamb kebabs from a local would be better
they would be, but I'm chasing that "I really wanna hate myself afterwards" kind of meal.
ffs, reddit is so full of paid political trolls it's painful
this place is a blessed relief
I can never understand the anger people have on reddit. The cattiness and the back and forwards is just not for me.
Anger is the right word. So angry and for what purpose? 🤷♀️
Some people take things way too personally and resort to name calling and derogatory terms.
I have gone back and forwards maybe a hand full of times but I have since curbed my ways.
My parents keep taking their dog away in the caravan then realising that taking the dog with them sucks because they can't go out anywhere together because they can't leave the dog alone. This leads to me being asked to house/dog sit at their place, which I'll be doing from tomorrow until Monday. Doggy is being driven home from Yarrawonga and dropped off today. Sigh.
Can we please have doggy tax when you get him?Thanks
Absolutely!
Can't they take their dog everywhere with them?
Nah they go out to the RSL and other clubs. No doggies allowed.
Grabbed some hummus chips from Aldi to try.
Inhaled the bag within minutes. They're that good.
