You know when you talk about / observe something somewhere and then you notice it everywhere?
Severance has Eagans.
The olives in the fridge are Aegean brand.
Now this?
Got my replacement dishwasher in today, did one load successfully - here’s hoping it lasts me much longer than the previous one!! I felt such euphoria at clearing so many dishes in one go but had to check myself; don’t get attached to it just in case the dw craps out on you again…
Cut up the packaging and dumped it in the recycling, finished the more annoying/tedious half of my desktop work, now doing a bit of laundry and vacuuming and once I get it all dried and am back I’ll feel like I truly deserve my week of tv :D
I met one of the neighbours (well, the owner of one of the units) today who turned out to be super nice so that was a real pick-me-up
Late lunch today but I escaped work early
Going to go with a meat pie!
Meat pies are great companions.
Especially with tomato sauce.
Sadly my companion has departed.
Have been bed bound with migraine all day. Just now getting up to have breakfast and a shower.
Crazy how a tiny bundle of nerves in my shoulder can absolutely ruin my life.
Hope you feel better soon.
Rest well!
It’s not that tiny. The brachial plexus.
The actual pain point feels like the circumference of a 5c coin.
But the impact is fucking crazy.
I know it well. I would get gravid hyperthyroidism , which would fire off my nerves and then I would get angina like symptoms. Just nerves, nothing actually wrong. It was quite anxiety producing too as the nerves would also fire off anxiety centres of the brain.
we are nothing but wet electrical wires, sticks and pulleys
and iron
so many gentle hugs
Would you like a cup of tea and some toast?
Yes please 😞
🫖☕🍯🥪
a pillow and some soft music?
I currently have a pillow and purring cat who’s concerned why I haven’t moved most of the day ❤️
is migraine day for me too, and yesterday. i blame the moon.
Works for me! It’s finally subsiding but I’ve lost an entire day pretty much.
I think the first person to invent laundry scent beads that don’t smell like cheap shampoo or air freshener is gonna end up a billionaire.
What’s a laundry scent bead? Nevver erdovit. Are they related to scented garbage bags?
Basically perfume for your washing, which some people prefer if they don’t use fabric softener, for example. The instructions say to use way too much of it as well btw.
A friend in Queensland sent through this link: https://www.lifeblood.com.au/blood/blood-supply-levels
Even though I figure they’re not sending blood from WA to Queensland, I saw that local supplies in my blood type were low. So I dusted off my old donor profile and made a booking.
I fell out of the habit when kids and life stuff happened. I really should have gone back years ago. The process of donating blood is smooth and streamlined. I was in and out in under 30 minutes and back to my day.
I got to wait another month before eligible again.
Last time I gave blood, I got my period the next day and I was absolutely wrecked! Had to get some iron tablets to feel normal again!
Thanks for your donations bro! 😂💜
I got my period the next day …
For fairly obvious reasons, this is not a variable I’ve ever considered when donating. Does it take you out for long? My body doesn’t even notice the 500ml. I literally walked from the donation centre back the office, got changed and rode straight home.
I was off colour for a few days before I got the iron tablets - severe lethargy and extreme brain fog. Couldn’t really formulate sentences quickly or coherently. Like I was laggy lol.
I felt much better after taking the iron tablets - it was just poor timing!
When Ive given blood before that, and it didn’t align with my period, I was fine too tbh
I’m not sure how long it would have taken if I didn’t take the tablets though
Thanks for donating on behalf of those who can’t :) What snacks did you get?
A small bag of Kettle chips and a TimTam. They had a whole spread there, it was a lot fancier than the last time I donated.
That’s awesome!! You’ve helped someone out there who needs it mate!
I have mine booked for the 22nd due to the low supply for A+!
Another bewwwwtiful one for day/night drinking. Hit it hard, folks. Cheers 🍺

I’ll take 1 kitten please, preferably chilled.

Thank you muchly, most piquant
A slice of fruitcake, please.
While the new Red Cross spread is very impressive, I was feeling nostalgic and miss the old fruit slice they used to give after donating.🍰
Wild, white horses
They will take me away
Great song.
Ah, the dulcet tones of f1 cars from a distance. Hooray, not
You’ll get used to the spice. Be brave.
I grew up with much more spice than this and regularly cook/eat spicy food, but after nearly 15 years of living in Australia my chilli tolerance has gone down so much it’s not funny…
E: I will also say this is nowhere near as mouth-rapingly hot as the black samyang noodles. That one is a biological weapon
You’ll get used to the spice. Be brave. Eventually your eyes will turn blue and you’ll be willing to fight for Lisan al Gaib!
Lips acquire a stain, the stain becomes a warning.
Dinner is served
Look…I am over here trying to convince myself this gluten free Woolies pie is good and that’s just rude.
Looks so so good though 😭
I regret I know no way to make this GF. I’ve found some decent pastries, but not a convincing Stout
Wyse is a decent GF pastry but you are right, a GF stout is the holy grail (late diagnosed here - god I miss stout). O’Brien’s make an amazing GF stout but it’s only ever limited edition. Two bays have one too. It is very much not the same but might just do for a pie.
Hmm now you have me thinking. When my life is a bit less hectic (hence Woolies freezer pie for dinner) I am gonna try a beef and stout stew and / or a pie. See if I can get it close to real food.
I once made a tolerable dark GF brew out of black rice and tea. Tasted pretty good but totally lacked any body.
Yeah the body is the trick.
Trying to one up my meat pies for lunch huh?
Well I never!
I believe I declared my intent around breakfast time 😝
It’s been one of those days. My memory doesn’t go back last midday
Blessed be the pie. ❤️
I’ve never called a pie “adorable” before, but that really is adorable!
🖤 I’ll make you a kitten or dinosaur one sometime
Dinner pretty
Such golden goodness! I hope it’s served with mash potato? 🤞
Jerboa not working well for me again. Or maybe it’s my almost 4yo cheap android phone? Hard to tell. Phone is doing the slow battery death thing. I’ll eventually replace it with another cheap android phone. This one was $70 on special from Big W, and 4 years is not bad going really.
Thanks Tiny, I’ll check them out.
I don’t even need a new phone and I’m tempted by that G75. That’s an incredible bit of phone for $350.
It’s official. Wine o’clock. Billy Joel wrote a hit song about it - goes - It’s wine o’clock on a Saturday, the regular crowd shuffles in.
🎹 Bottle of red. Bottle of white… 🎶
(He wrote more than one song about it)
Alfie can’t handle a door being closed. Boyo is exhausted and asleep. I just want to watch bad Netlfix. Alfie is exhausting.
Anyone watching/watched Zero Day?
Anti-spoiler
This does not give anything away about the plot but if anyone is worried (like me) that they showed Irving’s dog early in the severance ep because something was gonna happen to it. Its ok. Nothing happens to the dog.
Carry on ( so traumatized by the trope of show the dog to hurt the dog…)
yup, I was getting really worried for the dog and heaved a sigh of relief
