Nice day today folks 🌞

So glad it went well!! Cheers to new starts
Cheers, friend!! Thank you! 💜💜
Sees person wearing Neil Young & Crazy Horse tour shirt…“Hey that’s a great shirt, I went to that concert. Do you like Neil Young and Crazy horse, are you going to see them this time?”. I don’t know the band I got it in a vintage shop
Never. Felt. Older.
Wish I’d kept mine. Some op shop got a total bargain.
Yeah, I got an awesome long sleeve… Lost it in a move years ago
I make sure my daughter knows 3 songs of the band before she wears a band shirt.
😂 MissGod raids my band shirts all the time. Doesn’t give a rats about who they are or what they play. after all it’s just a shirt with an interesting graphic.
My educational ways pays off because when someone did ask “oh what’s your favourite Led Zeppelin song” she was able to bluff something out.
One of these days I’m going to raid her Taylor Swift merch.
Vintage.
Hey! Thanks CEO.
So we’re four days into a ten-day visit to South Australia. First two days were in the CBD and I have to say that whilst the hospy folk are friendly, the general population are indifferent and rude…no spatial awareness or common street courtesy at all. They will literally walk into you rather than give way a little to avoid a collision. Had one oblivious guy carrying an open umbrella down low and so focussed on his phone that he pushed us into oncoming traffic. Twat.
Took a tram to Glenelg, which is basically SA’s St. Kilda and everything you’d expect it to be.
An hour’s drive to the Barossa yesterday. We’re in Tununda and had lunch at Maggie Beer’s pheasant farm eatery. Great spot, lots of birds to check out in a kind of mini zoo, but at $90pp for what was essentially a menu of various cabbage and lettuce leaves, a chunk of homemade bread, carrot puree and a smidge of a lamb or chicken slices, I did feel it was a bit of a rip off and profiteering based on her brand.
We’re off to McClaren Vale in the morning, then finishing off with two days on Kangaroo Island, then homeward bound. I thought that SA had a rep for decent weed but we’ve found nothing, so looking forward to our small stash at home next week :)
I’ll probably be booed out of the state for this, but I found people in Sydney to have a lot more common courtesy than here. The main difference I noticed is that people were generally really good about letting everybody get off before getting on the train, where as here nobody gives a shit and just pushes through the people trying to get on like the train is about to leave without them
I didn’t know Glenelg was st kildary, I didn’t know Adelaide had anything like that, but I’m curious now so might go check it out while I’m there.
Cheers
This reminds me so much of the Oh God in Hogfather.
Am I the only one who’s sweating like an animal when im outside?
It feels so muggy…
I just put the aircon on to cool the place down a bit before I try to sleep. So yeah it’s muggy
it’s very humid , made the AC drip inside , which dripped on electrical stuff 😬
It wasn’t too bad when the sun was up but it’s gotten muggier now. Still nice with a fan or breeze though. Nights like this remind me of Brisbane. Tuesday looks steamy
It’s awful. I’m unhappy about my bills running cooling all the time
I need to get away for a few days maybe to think about life etc but I have a needy anxious cat that I don’t want to leave. Difficult situation when you’ve got no family and no social connections.
I get why people don’t leave abusive relationships….
Money. With money you could go to a cat friendly hotel.
Something to ponder…. Might have a look
There are serviced apartments that allow pets. Edit: Holy shit the prices. There are also pet friendly caravan parks if that’s more tolerable and budget friendly.
It really sucks that you’re in this situation, it’s hard.
Ps. Because of the mention of domestic violence… if you or someone else were in a situation where they needed to leave a relationship, there are options that don’t involve surrendering pets. I need people to know that. Don’t wait until it’s “bad enough”.

I’m tired 😴
Ventured into the city today with the fam.
Vic market and all that…
The group of Wannabe gangsters Melbourne central was cringe as fuck.
Walking through them and smiling was satisfying as fuck.
Happy St Patrick’s Day everyone!
St. Pats is tomorrow? But 🙏 thank you!
I always thought it was the 16th
I make myself a toastie and now everyone wants a toastie. Unbelievable. They’re like seagulls.
May I have one too? :3
Unbelievable
🥪 🧀
Throw a few elbows their way and see how it goes.
I had enough for one more. I made it and left the room.
Next to elbows… heels and knees do the job.
I ain’t saying anything…but you know what I’m saying#
What kind of toastie?
Tasty cheese with cracked pepper on multigrain bread.
Offer them a knuckle sandwich /j
I just woke up. Urghhhhhh
To early to be awake on a Saturday, but here I am lol
Too early gang chiming in.
⏰🌛😳 yep. Too early
Well eff you PoGo. Whole comm day online with incense and three lures, no shiny. Grump.
I put sensible, puncture resistant tyres on the trailer pram and of course it gets a puncture through the sidewall somehow.
Time to get new tubes and put the silly green BMX tyres I bought on it
Today I set up a plastic folding table to confine the art stuff to, and so the hairy puddin can’t be helpercat. Ouch. Probably should have got someone to assist. Also managed to shove a few things into the little laundry shelves, might prioritise and play Tetris to get the most used things in there.
It’s still weirdly muggy.
Melbcat is being the little spoon and kind of has a smile on her face. She’s going back to the vet soon to check her bladder and her ears. I’ve found some flea dirt on her back… maybe it happened when I was a bit late with her drops. I’m going to comb her gently with a nit comb (dunking it into boiling water with a drop of dish soap between passes) and redouble my efforts to get this place tidy and vacuumed.
Guess I’m already washing everything due to moths. Things always fucking ramp up while you’re sick… Perhaps some imidocloprid at the edges of the carpets might help. Except the unscented Frontline spray is super expensive and the Sundew is both scented and an aerosol. Any other flea spray or powder I wouldn’t use around a cat.
