Since all the cool kids are flexing their clivias…
Doxxing capacity maximised… 👀 beautiful part of Melbourne to be in though that’s for sure.
Now I’m getting images of a masked bandit digging up my clivias at 3am.
don’t laugh, garden theft happens all the time around Carlton
A woman I used to work with lived in Kew in a very nice street with a lot of very nice neighbours - included politicians and captains of industry. Her agapanthus bed kept getting raided by plant pirates. She tucked a placard at the back of the bed saying Smile! You’re On Candid Camera! Raids stopped. I mean, who nicks agapanthus?
maybe they were dwarf white agathaspants
Nope, just the regular blue ones. Like, so so ordinary. Why would anyone bother to nick them? I’m still scratching my head over that one.
wow , they are so beautiful . Your whole garden is beautiful. 😭
Thanks :) Honestly the whole thing really took off when I put the watering system in (wasn’t even expensive). I am now a true believer that regular watering on a timer does wonders.
Well, here’s an enigma. Rebuilding old man’s desktop and he wants all the connectivity at the front. I said well, you could turn it around but then how would you turn it on. He said well I’m sure office works has something. This is a man of science. Can’t win them all.
Time to velcro a USB hub to the top :D
Officeworks, no.
Pccasegear, yes.
When is winter ending I am tired of the cold.
The terrace is full of flowers, Spring is here. I’ll take some pics. 🙂
My hayfever says spring is here with a vengeance.

My orange clivia’s are blooming for the first time this year. I grew them from seeds I collected.
so cool and they are a unique flower, they have both red and yellow pigments to make the orange. 🙂
So colourful
Love ya crucifix orchids, don’t see them about much.
the little mauve ones are dendrobium kingii, a native of Sydney and the white are cymbidium
I do have crucifix orchids but they are not in flower yet, here they are from last year
spoiler
ooh all looking healthy.
They are. I try to keep a clean garden. :)
One thing that has happened tho is since I stopped feeding birds there has been an explosion of aphids, I stopped because my neighbour didn’t like the mess.
I’m going to feed the birds again and bring some balance back.
Noooo. Just generally
Seconded.
'puter rebuild complete and I didn’t break anything and it turns on. Which brings us to the rave. Upon turning it on I honestly thought I’d be watching everything burn right in front of me
Grave of the Fireflies is on Netflix.
I don’t know if I can face complete emotional destruction on a Tuesday night
Yeah, save that for a non-work-tomorrow day so you can ugly cry
Spent a few hours last night on the couch in cosy pyjamas, under a soft blanket, ignoring the world and watching a new (to me) K Drama. Followed by one of the most solid sleeps I’ve had in a long, long time. Not feeling any better about being at work today, but at least it was a nice evening.
I don’t know what dinner is going to be, but it will be hearty and full of veggies. That description fits almost everything in my freezer
Pasta?
So there’s three people in my team. The good one is leaving. Which leaves the one who is honestly like dealing with a child.
Ah well.
My performance review went great though!
Tonight’s mood booster is some peri peri mock-chicken strips bought on a whim yesterday. I shall throw a zucchini in there for helth, and half an onion, and… idk. Eat it with rice… cooked in broth! With cloves and cardamom! (I highly recommend the latter for really elevating even the simplest rice dish.)
Also just remembered I stress-bought frozen dumplings last night. I’m set for lunch tomorrow, woohoo!
cardamom
Any time people go heavy on cardamom I is always a fan.
And don’t throw out the pods, so much flavour in those too.
I use it in pasta dishes too. so good.
I pooped by Aldi to grab a loaf of bread and saw this.
Not an egg in sight. Is it really that bad right now?
I think you meant popped. I hope you meant popped.
I get eggs from IGA. There’s always heaps.
I pooped in the woods a few times. They didn’t have eggs either.i lodged a complaint with manager.
Well at least they have logs now.
I wouldn’t have eggs-pected that.
Eggshellent pun.
Well eggsecuted.
You guys have left me all seriously eggshausted.
Oh, you’re just eggsaggerating
No eggs at my Coles.
yes, eggs were 11.50 at woolies, I didn’t get any. A chook to roast was 30, didn’t get one.
I buy mine from the local grocer, they’ve always got stock. Not the cheapest but not hideously expensive either
ahem eggspensive
No thank you Mr hayfever. I’m gonna chew on some ibuprofen now. Good Night.
Does that help? I’ve been dosing up on Telfast for like 5 weeks now
my eyes are killing me. Temples too. Cold or hayfever?
Hayfever…get some Naphcon-A homey
Sounds like haycuntfever.
