Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
Ted is on a diet. If he hasn't lost weight by his next vet visit in 3 months I am in trouble.
Ted is now attacking my bum again because he is cranky for dinner. I am going to need bum armour.
Poor bumbiter. Does he like vegetables? Maybe some of those mixed in might help feel fuller for longer
Any ideas on where to go out tomorrow night for drinks? Usually I'd go to a bar or live music but wondering if anyone has summer evening suggestions
I think you are East? Possibly a bit too far but I'm fond of Hail Lilith
Picked up giant heavy box from post office, I had to bring a trolley and drag it home. 5 loads of rubbish taken down to the rubbish room so far, 2 to go. Then washing to hang out on the clothes rack ( I washed the rack, it gets grimy from city smog ) , vacuuming, more washing. It's getting warm here.
one more load to rubbish room, washing has been hung out and another load put in the machine
it's a warm day
last load, an old chopped down pot plant that I can't remove from pot is just too heavy for me to carry, might use a trolley later
I have another 2 weeks of meal replacement shakes. I can do that. Then after that will buy some more. I bought a cute skirt that I could only get a size too small as motivation.
Ted's diet is going well, he is getting cranky.
What shakes are you using and how is it working out so far?
They are super easy to use and taste good. I have some fruit or salad with it. It's only been two weeks and they are aldi shakes. I'm not sure if I'm losing weight yet but it's also a good way to reinforce good eating habits and eating fewer calories has to work, right
am also sleeping earlier and doing other stuff too π
Yet another wrong address food delivery drop. Yell out for the guy but he dgaf. Next door heard and claimed it. Now I get to be judgy about his Maccas arvo snack
You ordered and it went to the wrong place?
No, I ordered nothing, other people's stuff on my doorstep.
Got omni spinfit ear buds tips for my pixel pro buds.
Noise cancellation vastly improved and the buds actually stay in my ears. I had to get the xl though for the most secure fit. Although there's only 1 mm in diameter difference between the sizes. Hopefully I've picked the right size and it won't make my ears ache after prolonged use.
Completely forgot that the Queenscliffe music fest. is on over the w/e.
Been hearing them do sound checks all day.
Brought up the line up.. only name I recognise is the wiggles sound system.
Not exactly slammin' Drum and Bass but I hope they play this Certified banger with none other than DJ DOROTHY
Dorothy could do with a tip from Heavysaurus I love that there's heavy metal for children in Germany!
Here's to Bok Choy appreciation week
*Note: This maybe Pak Choy brother of Bok π€·ββοΈ anyway cheers foragers πΊ
That Pak Boy is not appreciating its current situation.
He's been in the fridge for two weeks.
And cheers!

Get that filthy vegetable away from that drink.
Blasphemy!
Green leafies are friends.
Evil!
Not much uni work done today but at least I've ticked off a few more items - dropped off flattened boxes at work, picked up old bike temporarily stored there, printed out pathology referral, dropped off friend's forgotten item northside, grabbed a bit of potting mix to take back, dropped off the old bike at CERES, rushed back home as I'd left lunch there, back at uni, then popped out again to have my tyres looked at again because of the check tyre pressure light - turns out it just needed resetting.
Back now for about two hours before I just go have drinks at work or something and choof off home. Pretty chuffed that there is movement and progress
Wow. Thatβs a lot of stuff done in a day.
Well done.
Hope the weather isnβt wearing you down and drinks at the end will definitely help wind things down today.
I'm definitely a bit dusty but it hasn't been too bad as I did most of the physical stuff before 11am and been enjoying A/C either at uni or in the car most of the rest of the time. Found good shaded paths to walk for the most part.
I've had breakfast and lunch and am starting to feel hungry again though, damn. Will be having a big serving of dinner tonight. How are you holding up in this heat?
Oohh dusty. Thatβs not ideal at all. Lucky you did all the stuff before 11am because I think it really started to heat up after that.
Whatβs for dinner tonight?
Iβm ok, especially more so because I called in sick thanks to my little cold.
Have had the AC turned on since the late morning and been on low cooling keeping it nice inside while I chill with pink moscato wine and ice.
I decided to pressure wash the deck this morning. Despite the water spraying everywhere it was very hot. And very dirty.
Massive bowl of crunchy green for lunch
Plate of absolutely deliciousness from the Malaysian place around the corner from work. So so so tasty!
pb toast here π€·ββοΈ
Iβve had peanut butter toast today as well.
