    Party two doors down and over the back fence. Two bouzoukis and a mandolin are having it out live and kicking, and the guests are cheering them on. Who needs recorded music???
    I’m really enjoying it.

    Whenever one of us is eating, little dog makes it a point to show us he’s a good boy by sitting inches from you with some very intense staring. He even does it if I’m putting lip balm on or hand cream.

        I’m absolutely feeling like trash today too. Physically and mentally. Pretty sure whatever I was recovering from has come back to hit me full on.

            Yeah I would like something light and funny but my left eyeball absolutely hurts despite having a nap and drinking plenty and not doing much. Thank goodness I have a fair bit of premade food to eat. Day feels totally wasted.

              Possible you have a cyst on your eyelid?

              Getting some good sleep can really help it go away.

              Oh yeah, having pre-made stuff certainly helps when you’re feeling down and aren’t up to cooking for sure.

        I’m still debating if I should buy the throw one for couch sitting this week.

        Umming and ahhhing right now about it.

        I’m only going to get up to reheat my packs or to make dinner later.

        Washing done as well!

        High five! 🙌

          The best and worst part about electric blankets is you don’t have to do anything to make them stay warm. Great because I don’t want to be anywhere except warmth when it’s 10 outside and 12 inside, but bad because it makes it impossible to get out of bed!

    Went to the footy today with my daughter. On the way out had to stop at the gent’s. some young lads were kind of trying to chat her up whilst I was absent, nothing rude or lewd.

    The looks on their faces when she said ‘Hey dad’ and I stood there towering over them.

    Kind of feel bad for their egos, but watching them scurry away was pretty comical.

    I gave Ted Cat a small serve of prawn pate in a bowl , the bowl being placed on top of his new harness on the floor. This is to train him and was not his dinner.

    Now Bill is yelling at me, telling me his dinner of fresh beef mince meant for cats is not good enough.

    They are now both asleep under the heater after a busy day of sleeping under the heater or yelling.

    Spoiled.

    Oven just went ping. Biscuits are done.

    Might have one now while they’re hot, and the others can cool for the tin

      I want to own enough cookie trays that cooling between batches isn’t a thing. I also don’t want to own 38 baking trays…

        You only need 4. 1 for each shelf. Take 2 out, put 2 trays in. While baking, transfer hot biscuits to wire cooling rack. Load up new trays. Endless biscuits

    I’d hate football a hell of a lot less if it wasn’t for there being 95 gambling ads per minute on every form of media capable of displaying ads, and how obnoxious drunk footgoers are. I don’t go out anywhere on footy nights because I don’t want to be subjected to the musings of the 975 football people, half of whom are sulking a trying to start brawls with the other half, which are cheering and gloating, and all of whom had about 12 drinks too many

    I watched border security for the first time in yonks. I don’t know what it is about “woman tries to bring in 9kg of undeclared rotting food” of “man tries to bring in 17 dead lobsters” that’s so fucking funny but this and highway patrol are like peak television. Who needs strange things or blue is the new beige, people breaking the law and getting in deep shit is all you need

      Haven’t watched border security many times but every time I have I have been astonished by the number of people who try to bring pork into the country. Like wtf it’s pork, we’ve got plenty here! It’s not like it’s a rare commodity or anything.

    Oh man, I just realised some of my rants about scent and chemicals on here come off as a bit cooked.

    For people who aren’t familiar - I have an elderly asthmatic cat who used to require emergency vet trips and use inhalers before I eliminated nearly all scent and aerosols from the house, have extremely sensitive skin mild asthma and migraines myself, and used to be really mindful about chemicals because I was caring for a bird. (Birds can die if you cook in a non-stick pan around them.)

    Using simpler and fewer products is also cheaper and more environmentally friendly.

    I promise I vaccinate and don’t have an issue with 5G.

      Haha omg melba, I never had the assumption that you’re a cooker! Don’t stress it!

      I took your advice about vinegar for carpet moths and it’s worked a treat! No more grubs have come out of the carpet. Apparently the acidity damages the grubs and eggs, so I hope I’ve broken the cycle. But I’m super thankful because I was stressed about that bug spray chemical that cats can’t metabolise. You are a legend! 💜

        No problem! Vacuuming super regularly and hot washing/drying all the cloth in the house is what gets them too. (I’ve done some more today)

        If you’re still struggling for a cat safe insecticide there’s the Frontline spray (out of stock at Petcircle but also a similar cheaper price at Budget Pet Products). Or there’s the Sundew flea control spray which I don’t use because scent and aerosol, and which doesn’t seem to be in pet shops anymore.
