Continuing on the Robin Williams trend, The World According to Garp was exactly what I needed ...

Have put in some rosemary tube stock. And put plant protectors around it. Damn wildlife keeps trashing my plants. Need spiky sword grass or scented plants.

I had a plant shopping binge when I was stressed, $38 well spent.

I have definitely been humbled over the last 6 months. I think I had an ego problem last year and it's been brought well under control.

It's interesting, because when I was egotistical I felt insecure a lot, but now I'm not letting it get out of control, I feel a sort of quiet confidence.

Life is weird.

So interesting when the narrative in our heads differs from what’s going on in our hearts hey. And we can ignore it all we want, but deep down we know the truth even if we don’t want to know.

I just bought some cheap embroidery kits on Temu. I'm a bit scared about what will actually turn up.

You know what I love, I’ve been walking around with a noticeable cookie crumb on my lower lip for the last maybe 1.5 hrs. Doing the usual, smiling, interacting and whatnot…

Oh well, I bought the same cookies to go anyway. πŸ˜­πŸ˜‚

It's hard work getting the upholstery tacks out of the underside of the seat , they are pretty much flush with the wood and require a bit of effort . I had to take my oodie off!!

Get a flat pry from bunnings. You will definitely appreciate

I have and have a special pliers too. I've taken out about 150 tacks .

At the point where you vaguely pretend you're shoeing a horse yet?

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

It's really hard dense wood, not sure what it is

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

and I just realised why most upholsterers are men, it's hard physical labour requiring a lot pf strength and stamina in your hands. n/k

Decided to watch The Birdcage for some 90s nostalgia and Robin Williams. This movie could never get made today for so many reasons. Val (the son) is such a self-centered prick though.
