6/10 Any knowledge I have is due yo my son and his shark fascination from the ages of 3 to 6.

Gotta laugh: about to leave to go camping near NSW/VIC border. If we can get through today without being washed away I’ll be happy.

I made a snap decision to go see it today. My session starts at 12:30.

As a 49yo who has been comic book reader/collector since i was 16 I want fun, fan service & clear dialogue (I think my hearing is going).

Have fun tomorrow.

Added bonus: my 9yo son is eating it! He can be ultra cautious with anything new. So watching him scoff it down is pretty heartwarming.

I’ve had my Mum’s vegetable soup since I moved out of home permanently at age 22. 28 years ago.

Today I finally made it.

Couldn’t fit in the pumpkin and I know I won’t get any rice in at the end but it’s ok. Added some minced garlic but stuck to the recipe otherwise.

Not exciting but warm and familiar and chunky.

This takes me back to my high school years and maintaining my wool jumpers.

Every tip here is spot on.

Police helicopter circling near my kid’s school. Distracting…

In unrelated news: I have never clipped a cat’s claw before. When we adopted our void cat in February she desperately needed her claws clipped as they had curled under, almost pushing into her paw. We had them clipped at the vet and since then she has been great at using the many scratching posts we have. But I knew that if I could clip her claws it would be an added bonus.

Today, with the assistance of a treat, I did 3 claws! Just small clips and I stopped as it felt like an excellent start. No scratching or biting. One hiss but a bit of the treat helped her. Made sure not to go too low.

Thank you!!

Does anyone here have a recommendation a psychologist in the Monash Council area?

GP is happy to give me a referral but needs a name.

I need help with stress, anxiety & depression. Trying to avoid meds if possible. Need to get on top of this.

Thanks for anything & everything.

I have not cooked a roast anything in many, many years. But tonight WE ROAST!

Chicken is the beast of choice! With roast veg, cauliflower & cheese and peas.

I’m a boring, basic cook at best so this could go either way…
