Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
Dammit, I thought Murderbot had finished and was happily bingeing it, but there's two more episodes to go. I'm so spoiled with media these days... I don't want to wait! But I guess I will, it's just two more episodes. It's a fun little show, and there's something I really like about the opening credits.
Same with Poker Face, S02 is 12 EPs.
Oh yeah! I meant to watch that - S1 was highly entertaining. Lots of tv to catch up on now that I'm free.
I failed :(
Goodnight all โค๏ธ

good night everyone, ๐๐๐
Chur cuz
My hair has grown to that annoying length where it pokes me in the eyes. Too short to tie it all back without still having a mop at the front, and clipping it back... I need more clips than I possess due to it's wavy chaotic nature.
But I don't want to cut it, I want to grow it out longer, so here I am whinging lol
I've just made peace with the fact that my fringe is permanent now. If I couldn't deal with growing it out in lockdown, I'm stuck with it.
Been there. No fun. I haaate having hair falling in my face or into my ears or bunching up at the back of my neck. Also have wavy hair that's a pain to control. I found in Kmart a circular hair control device - its a circle of zigzag plastic an inch or so wide and a bit stretchy, big enough to go around one's whole head. I think its intended to hold back one's hair with an Alice band over the top of it. Put it on around the neck, then slide it up and it holds hair back from the forehead and up off the neck. Front of hair is held sleek and smooth, then the rest of one's hair runs riot behind it. Fairly comfy to wear, and you can put a bike helmet or hat over it if need be. Game changer for growing out hair past the annoying stage. And you can cover it with a ribbon or similar if you don't like the look of it.
I didn't know you could still get these!
I haven't heard "Alice band" for years; that just brought back a rush of emotions! It's what I grew up calling it. Inherited from my mum's generation and the slightly older-fashioned English she learnt in a heavily colonial system.
Comes from the Tenniel illustrations to Alice in Wonderland. Iconic.
Fringe whinge is real. There's nothing to do at this stage but tough it out, you can do it!
The pizza is in the oven. The smell is divine.
My kitchen smells like earth and hippies. This soup is so nutritious it's veering into self-righteous territory. I slapped some crispy chilli oil on top to put it in its place.
Nice. I found a couple of forgotten Aldi gratin in the freezer. ๐
FUCKING DONE. 12 FUCKING HOURS IN OFFICE, FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
I am not getting less than 4 hours of Simon time tonight. I refuse to go home and just crash. Fuck that.
So close now.
The Seagoon has landed.
It's like a jump in Sliders, it looks the same in nearly everyway , just has these little differences.
Damn stabbing bra wire!
Thought I'd found somebody's missing cat today, but sadly not.
I'm now curious how the whole cat thing went down. Did you kidnap a random cat and now don't know who it belongs to? Did you have a delusional moment where you thought you found a cat but it turned out to be a pair of balled up socks in reality?
๐น there was a random cat in my yard yesterday annoying my boys through the window.I took pics. This morning somebody put up a lost post that looked the same, but after extra detailed pattern analysis of the two it was not the right cat. Sadness.
