5 minute sketch whilst putting off doing food shopping.

Thank you all for voting in the f&c vs. home salmon competition. Your input was greatly appreciated in assisting with this monumental decision. Strong start for the f&c party but some very compelling arguments for home salmon later in the day. I was changing my mind every 5 mins. My entire ethics and personality were at stake...

However, i regret to betray everyone's enthusiasm and inform you all that out of nowhere a third, unexpected candidate appeared about an hour into my salon experience and increasingly gained on the others despite a complete lack of campaigning. In the end, for the reasons outlined below, I went with this reliable third party.

The winner: fish curry and calamari masala from MKS Spices.

thank you and please enjoy your respective dinners. 🍽️ 🍛 🍲

I broke the connecting strap of my little shoulder bag 🙁

As today is a chill day before footy tonight, I'm venturing out for a new one

right, that's it. today's over. Everyone go home.

New attitude makes work a lot better.

While I'm there I'm in the zone. Then I'm done.

Nice and easy.

The bed and bedside tables have now been picked up. The dining chairs and Miss Meow's new cat trees are in the van as well, I'm going to pack as much other stuff as I can around all that to take up tomorrow.

The mop to go with the mop bucket arrived today, so I'm all set to give the floors a quick once over to remove whatever dust has settled. The carpets can get a quick vacuum on a later visit.

Trying my hand at digitising the slides from Nepal from 1998/9 on the cheap.

Basically 1970's high end german projector (with its original bulb!) showing slides on a white wall in the living room.. piccys / slides originally taken by a 1980's olympus analog cam then taking a photo with my pretty ordinary dslr.

Actually surprised it doesn't seem like the worst idea.

I'm in such a good mood tonight and there's a vanilla slice and a cuppa waiting for me. 🙂

Ants 🐜 🐜🐜

Long ass day.

The extended cat family and the fluffy freeloader have been fed.

Maybe I get to eat now?

I wonder what the food's like in the conclave. I'm thinking a choice of 3 pastas, 3 sauces, carvery, soft serve etc. A bit like Smorgy's.

Marning all

it's oodie time ☃️

More Temu has arrived. I may have gone a touch overboard on the suction cup hooks.

May harvest (!).

Throwing a habs in dins tonight which I'll probably regret. Because the watering system has been off for a bit they could be a bit hawt.

I’m on a mobile and wondered why the bot chose the poo emoji for today’s thread, lol

Sniff Sniff 🤧😷🚚

today at the beach i found 60% of a tenner, a ball of fishing line ( which I picked up and threw in nearest rubbish bin)

it was cold, nek time I wear a slicker over jumper and a wooly hat

blue heron was there 🙂

I was summoned by my first name from my kid last night. The nerve of toddlers man! I was a bit disappointed. I was like "noooo.... my name is daddy" which I'm pretty sure just made it funnier to him.

Wrecked.

Cat brushes and bed.

Goodnight all ❤️

What the hell bro. There two of the same number trams one after the other. I decided to get on the second one because way more empty. Second tram driver signalling at me like crazy to get on the first one instead?? Why. They still stopped and let me on but why you gotta be like that

When you can't get out of bed because his nose ring is tangled in your hair...

Got home from work yesterday and had an absolute meltdown on boyo, so took it as a sign to have today off and apply for some more jobs. Beach walk, yummy brunch, some applications done, following along with Erin Patterson's trial.

Also bought Expedition 33 last night!

Miss Meow fully approves of the new L shape scratcher. So far she has been indifferent to the corner scratcher, I'll have to wait and see if she feels like investigating it after a nap.

I've also put plastic guards along the front of the couch and armchairs, which is her preferred scratching area but not mine.

I've taken the old work laptop home and I thought I'd try Bazzite on it. Apparently Fedora based distros don't play well with Dell so if I still can't get it to work I might try PopOS instead. Failing that, Mint Debian edition.

I have a few sets of spare towels. 1 set are old and used for drying the dog and the odd water spill etc. 1 set are ornamental, new, never been used but are still functional. 1 set are new Sheridan towels that may have come from a fancy hotel.

Which ones do I keep for emergencies and/or drying the dog and which ones do I donate?
