I'm watching this true crime story and it's a bit political, a bit boring. I was contemplating whether to continue with it. Then at the end of episode 2 a character whose had a rough day was standing in the kitchen with his new daughter in law. She gave him a bit of lip because she's an arsehole and he then whacked her with the brand new shovel. Here's me going "Oop. Shit just got interesting. I shall continue to watch".
and the show is...
Sherwood
What channel/stream are you watching it on?
I am very familiar with the area, having lived around there for a couple of decades. I had a school holiday job at at the Sherwood Forest visitors centre. I am now living in Melbourne as a direct result of a chain of events that started during the miners' strike in 84/85. AMA!
Foxtel. It's probably on binge too. It does indeed involve the miners strike. I don't have any questions right now but thanks.
Gogogo mifo bridge! What wanker car shall you drown today?
Monty bridge’s little cousin in perfect position….
Oof I don't feel so good. Bit of a runny nose and occasionally feel like I might throw up. I'm about 70% sure I won't throw up but that's not 100%.
Anyone ever watched their 10 year old have a frenectomy (tongue tie op)?...blood, a lot of blood.
Crikey. That thunder was so loud it shook my bed. What an awful day :/
So sorry, somehow Mlem just deleted my message regarding what you would buy if you had $50 to get as much as you could food-wise (thought of it because I just spent $50 at Woolies shopping).
Assume you have a fridge, place to cook etc. Also, you can go to any supermarket etc. or multiple.
Edit: So… I hadn’t really planned for a longer period, but $50 got me:
Light burger buns, 4 burger patties, small tinned beetroot and pineapple. 2 small different types of mustards, another garlic sauce thingy, 2 mangoes, small handful of spinach, breakfast cereal, a small punnet of sliced mushrooms, 2 bottles of tonic (Fever Tree), a small bunch of broccolini and asparagus. (I think that was it?)
I used my 'focus time' this morning to catch up on a little more sleep and it was an excellent decision. I was NOT cooked yet when my normal alarm went off and I almost thought I'd have to take the day off with how rough I felt.
Meanwhile, my first wax melt order arrived yesterday and the nose flavour is divine. They're Sandalwood Vanilla ones from a Sydney company I've actually bought from before called Sherwood Garden, but I bought through Amazon this time as I'm a Prime member and Prime shipping is rad. Can recommend.
Time to make today's coffee.. I'm making an iced coffee today!
Edit: also, my phone is being slammed with fake calls from various places around the country today. If you don't say anything for 3 seconds after answering the auto-caller thing just hangs up. Making me want to buy a Pixel because I think they have software to block these.
It appears I slept through this mornings wild weather, I was rather looking forward to a bit of a storm! Although to be fair my suburb never gets so much as a trickle, stupid meteorological blackhole.
Ted Cat is sad. I'm not sure why but I think Bill beat him up when I went out yesterday, now Ted doesn't want to go up the stairs anymore and he lost his happy chirp. 😿

Could I please have your fanciest juice box, sparkling if possible?
Could I grab some light please? Mr Woof is ready for morning walkies, but it is still very dim out there.
Take a brolly.
i think an umbrella would have been dangerous with the random wind gusts around. Fortunately I timed it well - I just got back now as the rain started. I only got hit with one drop.
Wind doesn't seem too bad from what I can see here. Feels a little humid though, yuck.
Now that the rain's here the wind had disappeared completely. Now it's just wet. And grey. Just generally icky really.
Frog legs & duck please
🐸👣🦆
Cupcakes please.
Aus Post carded me yesterday even though I gave permission to leave parcel at door via their online service and told the delivery driver via my doorbell camera to leave the parcel. What the hell? Mad I have to spend my lunch break going to the post office.
StarTrack is even better at my place - I don’t get a card and they just text and says a card was left with pickup instructions
ooooh is wet
....but a good day to noodle with the genealogy. Ooo baby pics of the husbands grandma!
