Onto book 4 of Helen Forrest's Liverpool autobiographies.

It is very interesting how Helen describes her family, particularly her mother.

Helen will recount a fact then write her mother's explanation, showing how her mother is abusive and lies and lies and steals and steals. And that's just the mother's better traits.

It's an interesting portrait of a female psychopath and the heartbreaking suffering of her victims.

Cleaned my earbuds, and so I'm using old wired ones. They work somewhat better than the wireless ones?

Could you elaborate why they work better?

I may be able to shed some light depending on the context.

whimpers into the void instead as the void is scary and can retaliate at times

(and pizza won't make me feel better :c back to feeling not really keen on food...)

Beach walk

The tide was very low , the dunes were full of chirping fairy wrens , I picked up 3 very nasty looking lures off the beach. And noticed sea anemones in little rock pools against the sea wall . These were yellow anemones, I've only seen dark red ones before. I took some pics. 😊

lures

Seems like you're finding heaps on that beach.

Have to say when I'm down at the beach on the bellarine I don't think I've ever seen one washed up. It's a popular spot for fishing which is curious.

I think a lot of these are jigs, lures for squid, it's a very popular spot for squid fishing. On warm nights you can often see little boats off shore shining blue lights into the water to catch squid
