    Uni meeting didn’t go as badly as i thought, but I’ve been feeling really out of it and congested most of the rest of the day. Brain really has taken a battering after the past few days and there’s no rest in sight as I’ve got a major job ahead with cleaning up the house for inspection next week, and also starting to line up rental inspections myself (fuck that noise majorly, but I got no choice).

    It’s a real effort to try and relax and not constantly feel like I should be doing something

    So I tried Five Guys last night

    Fries = legit, still had a really nice texture even after a journey in the front of my scooter in the rain. Massive serving. There’s a station at the back of the ordering line where you can fill your own tubs of ketchup, mayo and malt vinegar, so your chips get sauces and stuff entirely to your liking

    Burger = got a cheeseburger. Thought it was decent; probably not worth as much as it actually cost, but I did like being able to customise it fully for no extra charge.

    Shake = basic vanilla for testing purposes, was thicc

    I wouldn’t go out of my way to go to Five Guys again, but if you’re in the area it’s pretty solid fast food

      More deets on the shake? Worth $11? Would try a peanut butter + choc one personally. Agree with your overall sentiment.

        If you loaded it up - which you can, they’re customisable - it might be. Basic vanilla sans loading is not…but I did that on purpose to judge the blankest canvas, so that’s on me.

        The texture’s insanely thick and rich. I see potential, if not perfection

            The combo that appeals to me personally is banana, peanut butter and (maybe) Biscoff. It does seem to be real bananas - I saw some real bananas going in when I was waiting

        I can’t tell whether you are talking about a chocolate burger, or putting bacon into a chocolate shake. Either choice is interesting.

    Wasted an hour this morning not being able to find my keys. Turns out they’d fallen into a boot. Well there goes my prep time for today’s meeting…

    Two more weeks until I’m free from academic jail for the year, and I’m dying to visit some dive bars. Going to force gently nudge some friends and hopefully they’ll be up for it. If not, I shall bring a book so I don’t sit there awkwardly and enjoy the ambience.

    Things are getting a bit busy at work, which is perfect timing, as my secondment to a higher position is coming to an end.

    Now I can actually focus on what I’m doing and not sort out other people’s issues.

    Yay me!

    Good work deserves good recommendation, knowing where to invest, what to invest on, who to trust and how to make profit can be very difficult as a beginner, but when you work with the right people the road to financial freedom becomes a lot easier.

    Today sucked for pain but I saw a skink in my house. Which was interesting. I’m glad the Melbaby didn’t see it because even at her age she is a fantastic hunter.

    No idea how it got in. Considered catching/shooing him out to avoid a brutal murder by cat, but didn’t want to traumatise him or make him drop his tail. So I didn’t get any closer. Hoping he finds his way safely out.

    Tinyest’s language comprehension appears to have exploded. Still limited words back, but answers are starting to form. Last night I asked him if he wanted to get out of the bath. He shakes his head and says something similar to “nuh”. I asked if he wants a bottle, he ponders for a second and goes “Yeh” and starts climbing out of the bath. Blew my mind. Didnt realize he was there yet.
