I was sleeping at the time but I’m sad to to bring this news to everyone.

My grandma has passed away, only a couple of hours ago. She passed away peacefully from what I’ve been told.

I don’t know how I feel about things yet. Looks like be taking more time off from work after I get over this sickness.

Stopped the car at the zebra crossing by South Melbourne Market and who happens to cross in front of the car but my ex, that ex, the one who never spoke to me again. My initial thought was WTF and then my heart did that pain thing it does and then I got teary eyed and then I felt completely okay about it. It didn't give me this burning desire to talk to her, it didn't make me miss her, it just reminded me of the pain she caused me and then I moved on. Also to note I was not driving. lol. Thank god.

My chicken wings

Top: sweet and sour bottom: baharat (7 spices).

They were good. I think.

I know there's bad shit going on in the world right now and I'm not trying to be funny but I just finished a coffee and I couldn't taste it. I just prepared chicken wings, I can't smell any spices. I'm fucking dirty. Of all the things that can be taken from me why did it have to be food. I've added extra chilli to the chicken wings and am contemplating tasting the Carolina Reaper paste the man raves about. I may regret that later on. I'm desperate.

Please send me pet pics, other people's pet pics, wildlife to cheer me up. Most appreciated in advance.

Bringing Dad up to moama seems to have been a good choice. I'm up $1000. Grabbing a lime thickshake and a ham & cheese toastie for lunch. Pretty good day.

I just read an article promising to tell me 11 things I did not know I could wash in the washing machine. They failed to have even one thing I did not know. Damn clickbait.

Another day, another new bag of potting mix, another infestation of fungus gnats along with it.

oh no, just heard about about Matthew Perry. 😔

Day 15/70: First day of week 3 weigh-in.
Down 0.4kg. I probably shouldn't have eaten that whole pizza last night. I tried to only eat half, but they're just so good you can't stop. 😥

The trip up to Sydney was mostly good. The hotel was kind of shit and sydneysiders confuse my brain, but I find myself very disappointed with our transport system. We do buses and night network better than they do, but they didn't privatise (most of) their public transport network, and it is very clearly reflected in the way things are run. They haven't sacked everyone to run things as cheaply as possible, you can actually find their customer service people, although the media has painted all the union strikes as if they've gone and set the trains on fire or something, the conditions they unions have won very clearly reflect in the happiness and well-being of their public facing staff. All the guards and customer service people are very friendly and actually try to help

I'm still going to call them Shitney, because like, I'm legally obligated to hate them as a melburnian, but Sydney now holds a special place in my heart, PT wise

w0000 GREENHOUSE FINALLY PERMANENTLY MOUNTED

Will fix the auto opening arm later, too fucking hot to be arsing around in a greenhouse with a tiny fiddly task. You get angry very fast.

Maneki Neko cat rescue burnin snags at Preston Bunnings. Show some luv if you around 😻

Turned 27. Getting old. Dislike birthday. Its depressing 💁‍♂️

6 or 7 years ago I spent a bucket load on Sonos speakers, 7 placed through the house. Couldn't even afford to buy one these days, but man it's nice saying ok Google, Play ABC jazz and hearing sultry soothing sounds throughout the house..

I found a tawny frogmouth tail feather at the park

I think bot #001 slept through his alarm again. Great game tonight. Aussies over NZ by 5 runs.

Not sure when, fairly recently I think, but they lifted the ban on us Brits donating blood. It's the right thing to do, but it will help me as well as I have too much iron in my blood. I just reminded Mrs_Owl that I'm going in on Tuesday...and she reminded me that it's Halloween and now I really want the staff to be dressed up as vampires!

I have it on Sunrise and there's lot's of dogs on there and they all got puppacinos. ☺

Also a dog got a little too close the other dog's anus and the owner pulled him back and gave him that look that says "not now". We all know that look.

Also I am going fucking stir crazy.

I've never been to Perth - what's it like there?

There is a vile smell in my house that is exactly like dead rat in wall I’ve had to deal with in a prior place. There is zero under house access and no ceiling hatch. Bonus, it’s in the kitchen. We’re fucked.
