Long lunch at Terrea in Bendigo. Itβs actually attached to the Ernest which also has some cozy seating in the wine cellar bar. Entree, main , and dessert were all exceptional. I had the duck, and it came with a sausage for some reason. A welcome surprise. 5 stars all around.
After lunch, we went for a few more drinks at the Belmont, which some of my clan used to own many years ago. Not much has changed, with the exception of a beer garden and the fire place is gone.

People not very often ask "how do you grow coriander mine always die"?
I don't have an answer π Pretty sure neglect is the key.
Coriander in the foreground, apricot tree going into flower high high right, carrots to the high right of the patch, spinach mid top and leeks top left.

I've been unwell since Friday night (headache, sore muscles, hot and cold, sinus congestion, sneezing for Australia). COVID test was negative π But I'm feeling better today and I'm going to drag my sorry arse out for some groceries and fresh air. Seems nice out there.

Okay so.
My understanding of the apartment hunt was that I was buying a home for myself. Part of it is my savings, part of it a homeloan scheme, part my parents chipping in. The condition of my parents contributing is that any apartment I buy has to have a second bedroom, second bathroom and car space - a guest suite, effectively, for them to use when they come from Mornington into town.
One of the options we looked at yesterday was a converted hotel space - two suites that have been turned into a single apartment. Because it WAS two rooms, it has two front doors.
"Oh, great. Total privacy. We can even lock our side when we're not here"
Hang on, that means I'm locked out of about 40% of my home on a daily basis
"But that's ours. Why would you ever go in there?"
Because it's part of my home. The suite is yours when you need it, for as long as you like...but I'd quite like to have, like, a chair and some shelves in there as well as your bed so it's not completely wasted space for the 75% of the year you're not here? Maybe one of my pictures goes on that wall? I'd like to be able to stash my yoga mat and Christmas shit in that wardrobe?
Apparently that's not the deal. It's not "the guest room in my home", it's their private space in the city that they don't want me to enter even when they're not here. They thought I understood that expectation going in.
We've been looking at city apartments. Making two rooms functionally useless/invisible to me because they're not actually mine to access feels like...a bigger deal in an apartment compared to having an unused bedroom and guest bathroom in a big house.
I'm...weirdly upset by this. I'm happy to host - gladly, and I'll get a second TV and the nice sheets/towels they like so they can be entirely comfortable in that guest suite - but I honestly thought that it would be a guest room I could at least sit in when they didn't need it.
Am I overreacting?

I know it'll pass, but I'm getting that lonely post breakup feeling. I need to find some stuff to do.
The music and lyrics for the industrial album is completed. Now just need to record the vocals.
Once it's done I can put it up looking for a band.
