Mr Woof has taken to providing a full turndown service for my bed each night. This involves piling the doona up at the foot of my bed and curling up on top of it.

At least he's not leaving a mint on the pillow for you!

Goodnight everyone. Here's hoping for a more productive day tomorrow 🤞🏾

Hilarity with the Menulog order - poor bugger was circling around for 15 minutes. I finally went out to meet him when it looked like he was on the corner and he was just coming up the driveway, apologetic because he was 'having trouble with his GPS. Seemed quite surprised when I said I could see his progress.
The cheesy garlic bread was cool but the Nasi Goreng was piping hot and delicious - could only fit in half and one piece of the bread, so I'm well sorted!

Did anyone else’s house do bogan pasta sauce growing up? It’s involves a dip and some cream and maybe a protein. I made one tonight outta the Aldi sweet potato dip for nostalgia and honestly not bad.

Not really? I think it’s still cheaper to buy a jar of sauce than to get the ingredients s like you’ve described.

Nope. We did Campbell's spaghetti sauce with beef and shells or spirals pasta. I still make it.

No but that sounds kinda yum. We did do bogan corn relish dip (phili cheese + corn relish mushed together)

Sometimes I wonder if the cat sees me as more than a food dispenser.

I've been sick in bed all day pretty much, and she's sitting beside me. When I fell asleep and woke up suddenly she was all alert, checking to see if I was OK.

Right now, the heater is on in the lounge room. She has a favourite spot she sits in (on top of her TP nest).

But she's sitting in the cold bedroom with me instead.

Good old fluffy butt.

They definitely do. Cats are incredibly loving, but very very subtle

I recently saw somewhere a cartoon where a cat called theirvhiman a 5 foot can opener

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

They know. She loves you, as much as a cat can. This is her way of looking after you :) you truly are loved by a cat.

Yeah you are definitely being guarded by the fluffybutt.

They know. I have one love bug, one standoffish queen and a sometimes spicy sausage. During the day its usually hands off the two girls, but they take turns to sleep with me at night.
