New project. Not sure if it will work yet, but I think you can get the idea. (Black just to not flash)
That’s really pretty. Well done.
Thank you. May I not Fuckit up from here
🤞
Ah early morning rain showers. There’s nothing else like the soft patter of light rain mingling with the dings from the trams.
Beep Beep 🚚

This feels like a winter morning.
Looks like one too. All grey and rainy.
I looked up the weather radar, thought there was lots more rain incoming, then realised I’m looking at completely the wrong side of Melbourne! The rain’s pretty much past Ballarat now and it’s looking likely to be clear. Another cup of coffee and then I’ll rug up to take Mr Woof out on his first neighbourhood orientation walk.
Overtired past me left the heater on overnight. Not regretting it, I gotta say.
Breaking news: Miss Meow has trialled her window hammock. It was apparently a good place for some after breakfast grooming. She has now disapeared again, either for more box exploration or maybe just going back to bed.
Mr Woof has also successfully navigated the dog door for the first time this morning. He’s now napping on my lap, which he fully deserves after the big day yesterday - it’s very stressful for a security dog to see a bunch of people tresspass onto your territory and steal absolutely everything.
Big news. That’s great. I’m so glad it went smoothly. Hope you get some time to relax and enjoy the new place today
But I don’t WANT to go out in the rain
Grumpy morning, ahoy!
A Bunnings trip might be on the cards very soon, I’m going to need a lot more extension cords! And I still need to get numbers for the letterbox.
I ordered a second remote for the garage door, which was not as expensive as I feared. I also ordered another security camera to go in the garage - I’m not used to having a remote opening door and I find myself fretting that it might be open any time I can’t see it. I know it’s silly, but it’s like when you have to keep checking you locked the door, my own minor touch of OCD.
Our morning walk was a bit brisk this morning, but the sun is now coming out and it’s shaping up to be a very nice day. Miss Meow has found herself a very good hiding spot in the future sewing room - if she hadn’t had her eyes open I would not have known she was there. Mr Woof is still a bit unsure about the new dog door and needs prompting to use it. I thought the security camera might have some video of him using it this morning, but all you can see is my arse as I’m leaning over encouraging him, and the audio is all me going, “that’s it, push! push!” like a crazy dog door midwife 🤣
his favourite treat on the other side of the door
😂 If he’s like my dog he understands “push” but chooses not to.
Gout flare up. Fucking nice. These meds better kick in soon.
ouch
gentle hugs
Thank you. It sucks so bad. Lucky I’ve still got meds from the last time. Still trying to figure out what caused it honestly.
My OH gets it occasionally and it seems to be rather random, as he’s not hoeing into the venison and red wine. I do think, with him, dietary changes can trigger it sometimes.
Hope you’re feeling better soon
Thanks :)
It does feel random. Not a huge red meat eater, haven’t had red wine in over a year. I did drink some very yeasty beer last weekend, so perhaps that did it. Come to think of it, my last flare up was 18 months ago, after drinking similar beer.
Guess I know what to avoid now.
does that mean yeasty bread would be bad for you
gout sounds so awful 😔 so many gentle hugs and warm compresses
I’m not sure. I don’t eat that much bread generally. If anything it’ll be sourdough, but really that’s like two maybe four slices per week.
I make pizza dough with yeast, but again, once a week…and didn’t have any this week.
The meds are kicking in, so it’s a bit better. Generally I can get it under control in like 3-4 days. Going to my GP tomorrow for something stronger hopefully. The stuff I have, works, but just barely.
Not gonna lie, next to sciatica, it’s the worst type of pain/discomfort I’ve experienced. Who knew a single toe can mess you up so badly.
Thanks again for the kind words.
have much study to do
am hesitant 🙍♀️
I’ll just start slow , with something simple
Break it down into small pieces
Starting slow and simple is the way
yup, after much thought I have found my block, too many unknowns. I will just tackle one learning curve at a time. 👍
Anyone else following along with the Erin Patterson trial still? She’s on the stand today and it’s fascinating.
Yeah. I’m waiting for the prosecution to get stuck in. 🍿👀
Ooh, I just bought some fun popcorn at the food and wine show, thanks for the reminder!
There’s a book called Widow of Walcha that’s quite interesting. It’s about a NSW woman who attempted several poisonings on multiple lovers and eventually succeeded.
Ooh, thanks for the rec!
Not hardcore, just listening to it whenever it pops up.
Me! I think it’s quite rare for the accused to take the stand in a murder trial, cross-examination by the prosecution is going to be a hoot.
Especially when she’s already proven she’s a liar! Everything she says I’m like “but did you?”
All the excuses she put up so far sounds so contradictory and also random. She’s definitely lying.
she’s stupid , scared and defensive
she should have been coached
She sounds coached while talking about everything she’s been through and how she regrets certain actions.
omg
During their opening address the defender basically said “she’s a liar, but not a murderer!”
I’d say they so hand in hand in this case.
Finally getting my day underway after sleeping in, I don’t know what was so hard about making some toast and coffee today.
Ex co-worker says her manager is ignoring her. He literally sits next to her. Jesus christ.
That sounds awful.
Absolutely. It’s a terrible way to treat someone.
Someone treats me like that at work. I ignore her now and never help her if she wants anything because that’s the only time she talks to me.
Made it quite clear a few years ago, when we were breaking up for holidays and she says good bye the the two people either side of me and I complain quietly to the group and one of the group yells out to her to say good bye to me as well.
That’s utterly repugnant behaviour for an adult.
Agreed, unfortunately people like that exist all over.
I guess this new place is officially home now, just had my first delivery. Mr Woof was not impressed that someone dared to knock on our door.
I now have a few new mugs.
Once I have cleared enough boxes to allow other people to fit inside I’ll be able to invite people in for coffee 🙂
Cute mugs! I love how quickly you all seem to be settling in!
It mostly looks like this
But I have carved out a few livable areas, and am working on getting a few more done. Having been able to set up things like the bed frame, dining table and fridge before I moved has definitely made a big difference.
