Melbourne

Last night's bday dins:

Honestly a great way to do it. Chuck it all on and everyone decides for themselves.

Morning @[email protected] Do you like dinosaurs?

That feeling when the cat curls up in my knee-pits

🙌💜🐱💜🙌

Had a lovely night out last night with a new group - great group, we all want to get together again.
Also, after a little throw up last night, I think after eating some of Zooki's leftovers, Sammi not only got up for breakfast scarfed down a saucer of food and sampled a little more. She's been off her food since the ultrasound so a huge relief...

What a fucking night. I haven't been out in at least 6 months. Here's to building a social life!

If anyone wants a spiritually market, just hit up the St Andrews market any Saturday. People are selling rocks, hippie clothes and all that stuff.

My dumb ass wanted cheap fruit and vegetables

Almost 100% chillo germination:

Hooray

Slept in, went out and got an almond lemon tart biscuit and a brownie, and a mocha and cappuccino from The Good Baker.

People everywhere on Sydney Road, in all the shops and on the footpaths. It's so nice to see everyone looking happy and having conversations.

I just want to tell them all they look so beautiful.

Did Father's Day shopping plus birthday shopping as Mr P's bday is in a few weeks, and I thought I may as well get it out of the way whilst all the manly gifty goods were on display for the purchasing at a discount price lol.

A friend of a friend of ours has a Staffy which has just had pups and we are being offered our choice. 😃🤔😃🤔😃🤔😃🤔 are my thoughts at the moment. I love them; I've always found them loving, staunch, and funny, such clowns. And I'd love for the kids to finally have a dog. And the breeder's lovely. BUT... The side fence needs replacing and the neighbours insist they can't afford to pay their share, so we've been nailing bits together and making do with star pickets for years. They've got a very exy breed of dog they've had for a few years (think several grand) so I'm surprised they're not more motivated to do the fence, but blood from a stone I guess. A Staffy would eat the fence for brekkie. Plus they do need very strong, solid and consistent training right from the very beginning. Plus all the costs involved, on a single income 😬 I feel very sad inside, because I always thought that if you can't afford to prioritise the costs of pet ownership for an animal that relies on you for it's existence then you shouldn't do it. If I'm not being a hypocrite then I know my answer, even though I haven't given an answer yet. It's not fair for the dog or us if we're just scraping by. But it hurts. It's not the first time I've been offered a pup; last time it was a Jack Russell, a breed I love even more (I've owned 3). That one really hurt to say no to, and Mr P was shitty at me for days, but I just can't. I can't if I can't afford to be the kind of owner the dog deserves. And it hurts 😔

I get so stressed out seeing my family. I love my dad and them, but I feel like such a failure.

My cousin just got her cert in childhood education, and I dunno. I feel left behind, alone. A black sheep, where my cousins are successful and I'm still floundering away trying to get anywhere.

I suppose it's easier for Dad to be proud of them, when they have done things to be proud of.

I know these are my own insecurities, and I'd never project onto anyone. But it's hard seeing my own success when I don't feel I've gotten anywhere at all, or done anything notable. I guess it would be nice if they reached out at all, but they only do when something is going on, and even then I've been forgotten lol

Ehh I'm overthinking. Whatever.

Post gig pizza. A place near home is open until 2am so might as well

Laurent closes in 20 mins... do I go... no, I'll make it a Sunday morning treat. So that it gets me out of the house. Just not feeling it today.

Vacuumed the house after like 3 weeks (gross ,I know) and that's about all I want to do for the day. I did the most urgent thing and that's good enough. zzzzz

To market, to market, to buy a fat pig. Only not a pig just some liquid nails and barkeepers friend. Someone put a lovely 19th century copper wash ewer out on the nature strip. Just needs the base re-attached more securely and a bit of polishing. Holds about an ordinary bucketful so will come in very useful as well as beautiful.
And the pouring handle is a lion's head, and there are gorgeous reinforcing bits at the sides with lion's heads on them.

the pic doesn't do it justice

Pretty chuffed with my sat morn brunch of leftover rice, leftover steamed broccoli stir fried with eggs, jarred ginger/garlic, and "olive vegetable" paste. Haven't cooked in quite a while with the craziness/exhaustion of the last two weeks. There is something satisfying and grounding about making and eating your own meals, I should do some meal prep this weekend while I've got a bit of breathing space.

City trip with fam today....kids got clothes,their style is what I wore their age

Had steak dinner at Yappari Melbourne central..go check it out. Food is 10/10, service 20/10

Looks new and they're so helpful to customers. Bless the staff

Chillin with 80s and 90s YouTube....loving life

Hope everyone has a top weekend.

I am now working on the metal ferrules of the cabinet legs. They were so rusty. Work on the big chairs continues.

Is it really laundry day if you aren't butt naked for few hours?

Good morning munchkins! Don't get up to too much trouble this weekend

It has been A Week.

I’m so glad it’s the weekend

At 2 pm today I put a batch of pea & ham soup into the slow cooker. It's just finished now. Note to self: next time remember to use high setting not low.

I love a weekend sleep in. So well rested.

Bleh. My hair hit my waist or past it and I really couldn’t be bothered with the hairdresser so while it was still wet from washing I just cut like 4-5 inches off to lose some length and neatened it up.

I’ve tried a more straight cut this time. I don’t have a second mirror to check whether it’s even but I’ve been keeping it clipped up a lot anyway.

I just don’t care anymore. I’m tired and literally just trying to survive.

I'm calling it : Sydney has better public transport than Melbourne.

Good night everyone ❤️

OMG Season 4 of Snowpiercer started airing over a month ago???? I thought it was starting in September...

I have some binge watching to do. So glad it was uncancelled

In related news: I'm going to be unreachable for the next ~7 hours. Who needs dinner? I need Snowpiercer.

my shower water was a bit too hot

Went for a sneaky run in work hours yesterday, which means I don't feel that guilty about not going this morning - so currently enjoying a coffee. Full month off due to being clumsy.. Feels good to be back out there.

I’m about to start cooking breakfast. Cheeeeee, mushrooms, salami, tomato, spinach inna wrap
