Couriers please you fucking numpties

Fuckin incompetent couriers 🖕

Before anybody tries to defend them them, about 10 metres away is a gigantic, vehicle sized, wide open gate he could've used. But he couldn't be arsed

In other news I got a pamphlet in my letterbox about "labour indoctrinating children with gender-fluidity" yeah... Righto lol. Honestly the sort of person with the intelligence to leave a parcel on the side of the footpath is definitely the kind of person that believes "immigrants are ruining the economy!", "labour indoctrinate$ children with the gay!", and "petter Dutton will save the economy!". Wouldn't surprise me if Mr. Courier please was the one that stuck it in there

I've decided today's kitchen theme is "probiotic". I have yoghurt culturing and started a new pot of sauerkraut. Once I am off the antibiotics I will have some reinforcements for my intestinal microflora ready to go!

So I've ended up with a gift card to one of my most hated shopping places.

David Jones.

Overpriced and almost nothing that interests me there.

One possible thing I could do is use it to buy a laptop bag or am I better off spending my own money and claiming it as a tax deduction?

wait for the sales and buy online

Emergency trip for Zylkene because the bottle was finished. (Glad I went out the back way or I would’ve had a run in with the severely creepy neighbour.)

Eugh. Bad warm

Not feeling the heat yet. Heading into work at around 10 though. Hopefully not a gross sweaty mess when I arrive

Apparently my neighbours think it's a good time to operate a leaf blower. Not too sure exactly what their thought process is...
