Yay! DT housewarming party
Please remove your shoes and don’t piss on the neighbour’s fence
neighbour’s fence
hrmm bit of a partypooper… how about your side of the neighbours’ fence?
hic You’re the homeowner, this side its your fence. hic
I feel naked and vulnerable without shoes. Maybe I’ll bring some house slippers
Piss on my shoes. Got it.
(Also congrats!)
Why the fence when there’s a perfectly good lemon tree which could use a bit of extra nitrogen?
Because two Cats are buried in that pot. Symbolically poor form.
It’s called “holding up the neighbours fence”. Blokes like to do this neighbourly thing at parties.
Fuck yesssssss!!!
Congrats! So happy for you.
Congrats!
Woohoo! Congrats! 🥳
Aaaaaahhhhh!!! Congrats!!!

Sticking local or more hunt for a new coffee shop sitch?
About 3km difference. All the favourite things are still in range, just accessed a bit differently. What postcodes do to price tags is outrageous.
Perfect!
Yayyyy!!! That’s so exciting!!

Mickey is so tolerant. He was incessantly scratching one of his ears, as if something was in there. So I told him “I’m going to grab my phone for the torch, and I’ll have a look puss”.
He trotted to the tiles in the kitchen and flopped on his side so his problem ear was facing up. I was able to have a look, and noticed one of his body hairs was stuck in there. He let me gently tweeze it out and he’s been so happy since.
He is so fucking smart.
Beware of cats like that. First comes the flopping closely followed by world domination.
Before you know it, your entire life revolves around them and their fluffy demands.
What a good boy.
That is so damn adorable ❤️
Not sure exactly what I’m doing today but I know it involves a huge batch of mushroom sauce and some pretty big lasagnas. So 🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙 hey there’s no emoji for lasagna! Why haven’t I realised this before?
Oooh next payday imma gonna get an arseload of mince and get my bolognaise on. Freeze it up for winter and we can food prep sketties, lasagna, quesadillas, etc etc
Yummy and simple, increasingly my favourite kind of food! I even love it with baked potatoes.
I’m going to try to get some jobs around the house finished, mainly the terrace garden and some cleaning. Dinner for next two nights is already made.
Then I can concentrate on sewing and some paper work. :)
If you live on floor 4 of an apartment building in the city and you’re currently cooking up something lemony/spicy/smoky/meaty, please invite me over for dinner. The smell entering the elevator when the doors opened on your floor was ambrosial.
Will you settle for a doggy bag left at your door?
I absolutely would.

I’ve got a curry happening. Want a plate?
I was actually bringing home my own big bowl of curry at the time!
Looks like Reservoir is affordable, easy to get to Brunswick and Coburg and to work.
Will go have a look the next couple of days at a few places. Really wanted Brunswick but if I don’t get a pay rise that ain’t happening.
I think the work stuff is affecting me. I feel really down and out but no real reason. I guess this is what toxic workplaces do.
Edit:
She’s using the new cat tree
Beware of Fawkner & Dallas. They look close but the agents are likely putting lipstick on the pig’s butt hole.
I know about Dallas. But is fawkner really that bad? I already sleep with a kitchen knife under my mattress within easy reach.
The place I looked at there is the one that smelt of misery and had a garage dweller. How representative is this? 🤷🏻♀️
Fair call.
it’s in the middle of nowhere, has many factories, a large cemetery and lots of run down housing. Doesn’t seem like a community.
Unfortunately if i want to live in a house and not an apartment, that far from the city is what I can afford whilst saving my deposit.
I can’t justify paying more than 2500 pcm for rent.
Ascot Vale and Flemington has cheap houses.
Will have a look. Cheers!
Yeah. I didn’t mind the test train run, and can put up with much nearby industrial, but looking around the adjacent few blocks, you would be on your own Re fruit trees & borrowing ladders
Rezza’s just up the road from Thornbury/Northcote, with all the open mic venues and music. It’s a lot nicer than it used to be. May I recommend the butcher on the main drag? Has lovely grass fed beef, properly aged. Some good op shops too - the St Georges Anglican Church one is a hidden gem. Small but very choice stock. I did look into houses in Rezza when I moved out of EBrunswick. The lake side is lovely.
Reservoir is 10km from the city and close to inner north suburbs with the cool music venues! Plus if you’re into gardening, lots of nonnas around who grow their own produce hahaha. Inner-ish west could be another place to look?
Sounds damn good to me!
I stand corrected on Reservoir’s location.

we’re at the point today where we’ve got the doors open but both of us working from home with cats free ranging and mingling under supervision please don’t make us regret this please don’t make us regret this it’s been six weeks I want my house back
Have spoken to more people today. They’re bailing. The director has set an all hands meeting for Tuesday, where she will no doubt tell everyone she’s leaving.
Morale is non existent at the moment. Regardless of negotiations, im here till I move house. Then I’m out.
Unless the interview i have Monday comes through. Then it’s worth living in the middle of nowhere for another 6 months.
Holy crap, that escalated quickly!
Yeah it’s a real nose dive.
I’ve been sitting down all of 4 minutes and already my resolve for no coffee is being tested.
You’ve got more guts than me, Tiny. I’m trying to do one coffee only per day, and drink more of the many teas I’ve collected in my kitchen. I usually have 2 in the morning and occasionally one in the afternoon.
a tea or 2 was the plan but it became pretty apparent that wasnt gonna cut it very quickly.
I’ve cut down to one a day recently. Don’t really feel the difference, but once winter kicks in, it’s going to be a struggle.
you sort of appreciate it more if its just one though.
I find the ritual more satisfying than the coffee.
However, this doesn’t work with tea.
Even if I chose to have a second one, it’s the occassion and circumstances rather than the brew.
not putting enough effort into your tea then.
As much as I love tea, it’s always hot flavoured water to me.
Coffee is coffee though
The thought of no coffee has never entered my mind.
All morning all that went through my head is coffee coffee coffee coffee.
Double shot this morning or I wouldn’t have coped. Just need to make it through to this weekend for now!
true only 1 day left after this.
Very brave of you!
Tonight’s beach adventure:
spoiler
that looks wonderful
Just paid $200 so I can take a four hour test to say I have the literacy and numeracy skills to be a teacher. They threw in an “online convenience fee” too. First time I’ve ever seen that one 🙂🥲
Then I need to do some hunting for some placement clothes that actually fit.
Spoke to some more people at work today. They’re all interviewing for other places.
Far out.
Maybe this will play in my favour. We’ll see.

Uhhh, being the last man standing but paid out the a hole may not be as fun as it initially sounds.
True. But it’d be great for about 3 months. Enough to save and get some cash behind me.
It might also give you an opportunity to build a new team or make some changes - if your the last man standing saying “Look, here’s what I need to get us back up to what you expect” you could end up with a bit more influence and power. Depends on the bosses though - shit bosses gonna shit boss.
I’m kind of angling for that. My co-worker in the team has been here longer but is utterly useless. And I have a decade of management experience which should make a difference.
Thanks for all the well wishes yesterday with the doggo. He had surgery yesterday, and the vet said it went well. 💛💛
I tried tofu for the first time today. Honestly, I’m a pretty big fan. I didn’t try it in anything fancy, just a small fried rice. I wasn’t sure I was like it, but tbh I don’t think I would’ve noticed anything wrong if they told me it was a chicken fried rice
Yum. Tofu’s pretty versatile. My dinner tonight was a tofu stir fry with pre-cut stir fry veg from the supermarket and a bit of Hoisin sauce. Super quick, easy, tasty, and healthy.
Definitely gonna look at incorporating it into some meals eventually!
Don’t you open that trap door! You are a fool if you dare! Stay away from that trap door! ‘Cos there’s something down there!
Buuuuurk!

damn you we were all desperately trying to dredge a quote out of our cobwebbed cerebellums that wasn’t BUUURKE
