I start work Tuesday (for some unknown reason).
Tomorrow it's haircut/beard trim, meal prep, shopping and playing with fluffybutt because it's going to be weird being away from the house for approx 11 hours a day.
By 8pm tonight I was ready for bed. So I thing my sleep clock is back to normal.
Goodnight all β€οΈ
It's good to start with a short week. So much new stuff to learn, and new faces, and where everything is. You'll be wrecked by Friday anyway. And then week 2 will seem that bit easier as you start to know stuff.

Payroll cycle, methinks.
So excited for you! You are doing awesome!!!!
Goodnight π
I've finished sewing the covers, they look cool. Now for taking the old material off the seat pads and stapling the new on. After that sand and paint the chairs. π
Love to see the final product! Or in-progress photos! You're so talented!!! π
ok, pictures of the fabric covers I made coming up , they are about 80 x 80 cms , they will go on big black wood stained carved chairs. All the patterns on the fabric are woven
That looks amazing!
Beautiful! I love the birds. Those chairs will be heirlooms.
Beautiful!! Omg π so talented
That's absolutely gorgeous!
Thanks. Making these has been a real learning experience, the fabric designers are so talented, the colours they use, the patterns, the types of thread. Some of them are copies of ancient and traditional textile designs and I think some of the fabrics I used are about 50 years old.
Still out in the CBD. Crazy my MIL and I are so similar. I wish she was my mum, she's put in the work to turn herself around, while having cptsd. A true inspiration to me.
I love her so much. She's just such an amazing person. I feel so blessed by the universe, after 28 years of shit, to have these people in my life.
so many hugs
and she is blessed to have you too
Tender Mercies - Glen Hansard and Eddie Vedder.
When Eddie toured years ago, he had Glen Hansard as his support. I got tickets at the last minute. I got stuck in traffic and couldn't find a park in St Kilda and walked into Glen Hansard ripping it out full ball on his last song. I was wanting so much to see him play, and I only got the last song. I'd seen him play the Recital Centre and he was just phenomenal. If you're ever able to see him, it's worth it .... Eddie was great, but I was actually looking forward to Glen Hansard more. They then recorded this album (which I think is a film soundtrack), that features this song.
π₯± goodnight
Today saw a person wearing an oodie in Kmart, and someone in pyjamas in the supermarket. I think we have all collectively decided fuckit, itβs too cold.
Went into the city yesterday and went to the State Library. I thought I'd finally be able to make an appearance at one of the pro Palestine demonstrations but it was some weird anti CCP group out the front yesterday
I accidentally walked through a protest on Oct 10th on my way to the art gallery.
A woman with a loud speaker was yelling River to the Sea ( a call to genocide, not only of Jews but of all infidels including Sunni Muslims and Christians, but first Jews , eh ) and people in the crowd answered with "Kill them".
I hurried through shaken. This must have been what it was like to live in Germany in the 1930s.
It's always anti CCP outside the State Library. I think a few also hang around Spencer St Station.
If I see a future date for a pro-palestine one (the posters are all over Sydney Rd), I'll let you know :D
For me it's more that I need to get a whole family into the city which takes an hour. I was hoping things would line up on Saturday
For a sick day it was reasonably productive. Had a walk in the sun. Picked some some anti-snot drugs. Did a tidy up of the lounge room and about to clean off the kitchen bench. And watched more of Swedish death cleaning.
Went ice skating this afternoon. 2.5 hours on the ice with the kids..I am so sore.
Braved Aldi this afternoon as the cats have suddenly decided they don't want cat food anymore, they want chicken and (sometimes) mince. I also got them pet roo stuff... We shall see.
Forgot the bloody stock cubes but did remember the ingredients for red wine and mushroom risotto, so with that one I can use Vegemite as it turns out brownish anyway.
Anyway Zooks greeted her chicken with loud purrs, so I'm good there!
Cat seal of approval πΊπΎ
FYI - the Aldi Buffalo Style Cauliflower Wings rock! I'm having them with mayo - would recommend. Brand is Urban Eats.
The prawn gyoza are pretty tasty too!
Here we go! We're about to get thumped. ππ€ππ€ππ€ππ€
Moving over to your match. The Freo/Melb match is cooked.
I have finally completed a long-avoided task and identified and sorted out my sewing machine feet. Some of the vintage ones took a bit of sleuthing to figure out what they are. The mechanical complexity of some of the old attachments is extremely impressive.
I love how the feet for my 1906 Singer treadle fit my 2020 Janome electric machine , I learnt to sew on an old machine and how to use the feet, I've forgotten now and anyway the tin with all the feet has been lost
sewing has commenced, boring relaxing podcast is on
Operation salvaging chilli paste.
Fuck it stinks.
candidate for the bin
Yes, after he scraped and then licked the inside it did indeed go in the bin outside.
