    Oh and I forgot who had the chillos that were at risk of getting too cold - but you can buy or make covers to go over the top of them.

    Even put them in a plastic tub with a lid as a temporary greenhouse til you can get something else sorted

    As much as I cherish my nephews and nieces, I myself could not in all good conscience bring a child into this toxic world.

    Lol, that cat showbag I got yesterday had a pack of Hills Science Diet sachets, turkey and liver casserole. It’s the first time I’ve seen Mickey eat it all - usually he licks up all the gravy and leaves some of the meat bits with the Dine sachets, but nup, he ate up all of Hills.

    Hills it is Mickey, you fickle furrball

    Ha, that was funny - was cooking dinner and due to the cats deciding that they wanted food Right Now and me trying to cook, feed them and not trip on them simultaneously, I grabbed and used the 1/3 cup measure instead of the tablespoon one. Turned out delicious, though, so no complaints in the end.

    I’m still struggling both physically and mentally. Forcing myself to do stuff is backfiring and causing a lot of stress. But the alternative is to just do nothing? Indefinitely?

    I’ve inexpertly taken the soil samples and only just remembered - even if they come back safe I might not use the soil because there’s the cat poo to consider.

    When I adopted Melbcat she was an outdoor girlie. While that was years ago and she’s now adjusted to being a litterbox enjoyer, I can’t promise the same for the visiting cats or possums.

    Miserable Melbourne weather out west after a ripper 29C yesterday, guess it was to prepare me for coming back home. I’m still feeling anxious about uni and not being up to what’s required of me - but the TLC at my aunties has been really great. I’m glad I’m not staying longer or I think I’d get to a point of indulged-in inertia that I won’t be able to get out of in a hurry…

    I’m a learner gardener and have inadvertently bumped off more plants than I care to admit. Despite this track record, these orchids have been going strong for about 15 years, so I thought I’d show them off

    I slipped and fell last night right on my bum and today my tailbone / sacrum is definitely bruised. Good excuse for a lazy day but I can’t help wondering at what ages does one go from “fell over” to “had a fall”… 🧓

      Tripped over something, stepped on something slippery etc. = “fell over”

      Ended up on the ground because you can no longer balance while standing without something to hold on to = “had a fall”

      I’m in complete denial about stuff like this, despite having put my back out really badly in the past by bending down to pick up a tea towel

    The free food market was small today but I managed to get enough to pull together meals for a few days. My most urgent need was tomatoes and fruit, which I did manage to get. Now I just need to do a proper menu plan for the next few days and I’m set.
