How did I just fall asleep on the couch for like four hours. After already nodding off intermittently this morning. I am not a habitual daytime sleeper but this is the third weekend in a row it's happened now. I don't like this fatigue. It's not even the weather, it looked glorious outside today...

Back to doing more sewing. :) There are 54 pieces of fabric in each big cushion. π΅
Took a long drive on a glorious day, went to a cheese train right as a dog parade came through the door, ate many delicious cheesy things and finished an audio book. Today was wonderful.
Sounds like an awesome day. Is this the cheese train in Geelong?
Yeah! I'd never been, but apparently there's also one somewhere in Western Melbourne. It was a fun, tasty experience!
I purchased a little old nonna wheely trolley for my groceries today. I actually owned one ages ago but gave it away when I last moved...next minute...landed with no car and have been walking again for ages. My shoulders thank me.
My day was spent pottering, walking, rearranging pot plants and chatting on the phone. I really needed a day like that.
A stall holder at the vic market told me trolley shoppers get good deals because they are known to be regulars and locals. π
Nice.
6/8 assessments passed.
Waiting for my last two pracs to be assessed and then I can relax. I've just been pottering around, pacing, telling myself to not expect marks on the weekend, but I'm anxious.
I just need validation that I am smart, and not a total lost cause π
Found something online that I've been looking for. I've been watching ebay etc for about 2 years and it finally came up.
Fuuuuuuck. Yeeeeeesssssss
Woo, I love when that happens.
Cool. I would ask but it would dox ya.
It's a music thing lol. You can't buy it in store in Australia and they only make a few dozen a year in batches.
Debearding has commenced
Yum! Enjoy those mussels!
You know it chief π
so tired but if I keep at my work slowly I'll at least get something done
dinner tonight will just be easy
Nothing much in the fridge for din dins tonight. Am tossing up whether to hit Thornbury Taphouse for a steak or Dumplings Express for a feeeeast. Decisions, decisions ....
spoiler
steakkkkkk, steakkkkkk
Iβm partial to dumplings but only if theyβre good and thereβs a lot of them.
This is what Dumplings Express is good for. I agree that there needs to be a lot of them.
Found a cactus I got as a kid 30 yrs ago randomly in the old unused wood bbq. Never been fed / watered still kicking and looking ridiculous in that pot. Repotted it and that was always gonna hurt :( went straight through the gloves.
And anothery of the blossom (I'm obsessed by it I know). Nother week should be full tilt:
wrap cactuses in thick newspaper when you repot them
Ooh that's a good idea. I was impressed how easily it went straight through those leather gloves.
Or a beach towel
I think I used up all my creativity yesterday, so I've been working on decluttering/sorting my sewing room instead. I think I have finally gotten all my cotton in one place and under control. I have far too many partly used reels, many of them multiples of the same colour. When you have a mess it is easier to just grab a new one for each project instead of finding the old one. I now have all of the partly used rolls in one box, roughly sorted by colour tone. I have also ordered some clips to stop the thread unravelling from the bobbins and reels to try and keep things a bit more orderly. Some of the rolls are getting a bit old, but nothing too antique - I sold all the ones on wooden reels a few years ago!
I also found some nice thick cardboard that I need for the covers of the book I am making - an old fabric covered storage box that I was going to throw out but didn't because Miss Meow enjoyed jumping in it. The cardboard inside that gives it structure should be a perfect weight.
What a beautiful day! Got the Minipeelers out for a walk and saw many cute dogs. When I explained my reasons and feelings about why we can't get a dog right now they actually were very reasonable and accepted it π
Found my keys. They went through the washing machine
Have they got that extra shine to them now?
