Miss kitty has decided she wants lap cuddles a week into her stay. Guess I am here for the afternoon?

I feels bad nudging Fluffball so she stops snoring but it's really hard to block out lol

It's been almost 2 months since I bought myself the guitar pedal to celebrate 10 years sober.

Been playing every night for a couple of hours.

Still haven't gone through all the sounds it makes hahaha

Right. 3/4's of the house is clean.

Seems like the antibiotics I'm taking for the finger infection are pretty brutal.

Enjoy your day ❤️

Edit: taking tomorrow off to try to recover from this cold.

I'm in pretty bad shape. The infection in my finger and the flu/cold that's coming on is pretty nasty.

Goodnight all, ❤️

Went to the big shops today, bought 2 pairs of jeans and 2 jumpers in the sales. Was a bit busy in there but the sales were good and jeans were needed and a good buy.

As a non smoker, I am sitting on my upper terrace right now, in an absolutely deadly still night air, having my first alcohol in a long time (a small glass of whisky), and man I would kill for a fag/joint....

Have good nights, all. I dont comment much at the moment, but I enjoy your company nonetheless.

This cold weather has got me being so lazy. I don't like it.

I just want to roll up in a blanket burrito and sleep the day away but doing that will make me feel worse by night.

Wishing there was some kind of comfort to be found in life -_-

We got back today. The trip was alright overall but everyone was a bit sick in different ways. The room was tiny, so I'll have to be not so cheap next time I decide to go somewhere.

It would have been alright but my girlfriend felt like she was going to throw up most of yesterday so we didn't have dinner out, which means the boys spent all evening wrestling each other in a tiny hotel room.

Otherwise, we did the dinosaur park, the mornington tourist steam train, and got a great tour of the flight training airport next to the hotel. It was a good trip but a little exhausting at times dealing with the kids.

There are things to do down that way if we went there again, but I don't think I'm going to rush down for another trip straight away

am awake 🫥

possums on balcony

cats are going crazy and fighting

noise woke me up

A great short article on the signs of trauma bond/abuse

I found this incredibly interesting. It's the first I've heard of any doubt about Lucy Letby's guilt. Lots of interesting points raised

Listening to Escapology by Robbie Williams.

I had no idea he wrote all his songs.

damn, he's such a good singer and performer and to write as well. He's awesome. 🫠

I took Mr Woof on a bit longer walk today.

We found the neighbours who I've been hearing yelling a lot in the distance.

There are some really nice parks around here. They have retained all the old trees that were in the original paddocks and put native plantings around them, and there are a string of ponds that I assume were originally farm dams. There are also a few kid's play areas, sports areas and outdoor gym equipment. The park area runs along the side of the new estate, so at the moment you are looking out over farm paddocks as well. We saw lots of kangaroos, which is definitely not something I was coming across on my walks in Melbourne.

Panic upon learning all the big four sewing pattern brands are being liquidated! I can't draft from scratch that well! Panic somewhat reduced it's the US branches, the UK may yet save everything 🤞🏻
