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".

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?)

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. 😿

If bill is still hissing and swatting you might have rushed the cohabitation a bit.

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.

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%.

Onions chopped, will fry them up and cook sausages and bacon.

Then combine all with bread and make a sandwich out of it.

Yum yum

Crikey. That thunder was so loud it shook my bed. What an awful day :/

Wet doggo on the run this morning. Feeling better all the time... My knees have stopped hurting.

Rented a different car today to get to another appointment and a few more errands. It was fully electric with one of those weird knob dials instead of a gear stick, and had that whole e pedal thing as well. Very interesting. I had a few minutes to spare and decided to bulk buy some bonsoy and just so happens it was 20% off (about as good as you can get I think). Win!

But that's it, no more renting cars/carshare for a while... So bloody expensive...

Could I grab some light please? Mr Woof is ready for morning walkies, but it is still very dim out there.
