Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
Due to popular demand I went out for groceries and petrol today.
Finally back home and settled.
Everything took so much longer today due to the massive traffic accident on the Nepean highway being blocked in 3 lanes.
Entry to car park of shopping centre was closed and escalator was borked.
Was too tired so I didnโt get to look at some stuff I wanted to and I didnโt get the potatoes. Iโll get them next week.
Anyway glad to be safely home with all the stuff happening and got my pakidge!
Getting home definitely feels so much more of a relief when you've had a shitty drive - time to kick back and relax and enjoy your long weekend now :)
Thank you.
Youโve also done such an amazing job with packing up for your move.
You deserve some rest and dinner as well!
Just cooking up some of those green leafy vegetables.
Iโm not even sure what they are but theyโre used in Asian dishes and have like little yellow flower spouts?
Removed the homemade baits a week or two ago and saw a roach last night ๐คข I guess that means they work though. Iโm going to have to do the dishes and wipe everything down then order more icing sugar to rebait.
Iโve just been resting and only done one load of laundry today because I didnโt get a lot of sleep and am in a bit of pain.
The zucchini are getting bigger by the day and in the windowboxes spinach and carrots are starting to come up.
Ps. I had to retype the first part because I backspaced a few characters for a typo and it glitched to continue until it deleted everything. Gremlins
Broke out the corset for a fit check before weekend do. I am very remindered why personal maids were a thing. Awk

I would like some curried strawberries on brown rice with a selection of seasonal vegetables please Bacon. And a large strawberry daiquiri. I don't care who you have to steal the strawberries from.
Something to eat after dinner, please.

These strawberries aren't doing great yet as they're still getting settled from being moved from my partner's mother who lived in NSW :)
WHEW. I am tuckered. The house is starting to look a lot emptier, though!
Today's tasks were...
Swung by MKS on my way back to treat myself to some takeaway curries for dinner.
Now my next big task is the kitchen items... need to juggle this against the timing of unplugging my fridge on Sun am.
That's enough for today though I think. I'm proud of myself and endlessly grateful to my friend.
You are doing amazing ๐ค
Yeah I pushed myself to pack up my monitors and other wfh items to try and get that big messy area out of the way.
I won't have everything done by the time another friend comes over on Saturday to help with the main move, but at least that stuff can go.
Now I'm really done for the day! ๐ช
Found this little guy as I was filling up on petrol.
Marble gecko. I love him. ๐ฅฐ
We shall be guarding them from the pests now.
Everyone's strawbs are looking so much better than mine. I'm not the jealous type but I am now!
Iโm not even on the strawb train and my pots arenโt suitable
I have no real plants mine are all fake lol. That's the secret: fake plants!
I'm just growing bird food, no actual strawberries.
I think I have wheat out there.
Ok on the topic of strawbs - if anyone is around the Mornington Peninsula, Sunny Ridge Strawberry farm often sell big boxes of strawberries. Was $10 for a giant box and they were sweet. Most of them are in the freezer now, but very good value if anyone's ever down that way :)
Should I be taking pics of our strawberries at this stage?
Yes mandatory.
Tomorrow will be bok choy.
I oddly struggle to swallow bok choy as I forget to chew so we stopped growing it.
Well yes?
