brain stuck, not sure what to do
think I'll just put a few things away, put away another load of clean washing and do the rest of the dishes
Back neighbours’ party has been going since before the GF started. They’ve descended into drunken scream singing, add some screaming kids to the mix, it’s so loud. Got my massive speaker going to drown them out.
I need to throw my own loud revenge party.
Pity it's due to rain, 9am garden shredder on the fence line is my usual go to
SORRY BOUT THAT. I DO LOVE A SING ALONG.
Sex On Fire has come on, they’re losing it
Pop your head over the fence. If you've got binoculars even better.
I feel like at some point Australia has become a very soulless country of paying off a mortgage and that's about it.
You’re an inspiration…
I agree. And if you’re not in the strata of being able to get a mortgage it’s pretty grim
I think we have regressed to pre WWII society. We have lost manufacturing industry , wages are again very low, education is again very costly, medical care is becoming out of reach for many and benefits are starvation rates
Its an extremely sad regression, and things are going to have to get a lot worse before they get better. Because unfortunately people usually won't take to the streets until things are really desperate.
Grand budapest, brie and fat purring cats
I hate it when I'm buying something and don't realise it's in US dollars until checkout and I have to re-evaluate the value of everything I'm buying.
Roman Holiday is on SBS World Movies. I would like to be pootling around Rome on a Vespa.
Indeed, Rome is quite hilly.
Eating a mysterious indeterminate purple icypole. What flavour is this?
Blackcurrant?
Not green
Despair
I think I've had a few gin and tonics that had that flavour
Grape.
Cabbage
Eggplant?
Today has been a rough one. Melbcat guarded me while I sat in the shower and then curled up in my dressing gown with me to share a nap.
I don’t understand how people think cats are cold or aloof
Cats are neither cold nor aloof, they just don't obsessively crave human approval.
It's invariably self-identified 'dog people' who talk shit about cats. And tbh the way they do makes me think they shouldn't have dogs either
Hugs. I have never known cats to be aloof, they are just picky in wh they care for
