Day 29/70: First day of week 5 weigh-in.
Down 1.1kg. The novelty has worn off, it's getting hard to stay motivated. 10 weeks didn't sound that long but I'm not even half way.

50% off sale....of all our ugly products that don't sell.

Severely underdressed for this wind on the way back and kicking myself for not at least wearing a light coat. Ya got me, Melbourne. Three weeks away and I lost my senses...

My bolognese sauce tonight was a little too acidic so I googled it and added a little bit of butter as a remedy. Fixed it right up. And so delicious too. 🤤

Sunday night cooking, with a glass of wine, and ABC jazz whilst the kids laugh playing Minecraft together. Nice

Some gorgeous light earlier on the walk with the doggo.

So I thought I'd share some more home cleaning tips.

First up if you don't have one of these in your sink, get some. Cheap from the $2 shops.

It'll help stop drains from getting blocked. If it gets stained due to coffee or whatever give it a scrub with barkeeper friend or my friend Gumption.

Never ever ever spray cleaner on vertical surfaces. Some leave streak marks that are incredibly hard to shift. Instead spray on to a cloth, wipe over stain, leave for a minute and wipe back over. Watch the miracle happen. Particularly good for cupboards, walls, picture frames, windows.

For TV's you do something similar. First gently dust the screen with a microfibre. Then wet a lenses cloth with water making sure you ring it out well. Wipe over the screen then go over it again with a dry lenses cloth. Make sure the water doesn't dry naturally on the screen otherwise you might end up with marks. Make sure you do this before you turn the TV on.

A hundred-garlic lamb roast is now safely ensconced in the crock pot for tonight. Only 5 hours to endure the fragrance wafting through the house, and the neighborhood.

That's why I'm easy....

I've been eating like shit for the last couple of months. Uber eats every night, mostly pizza.

Had chicken and veggies tonight and I feel fucking amazing!

Up way too early courtesy of cashews… I should not have put the water they soaked in, back in. Oh well, live and learn. I have been surprisingly productive this morning, although my eyes now hate me. I have also enrolled in T1 subjects which has also caused me to pity future me. Like I want this, but also am just not in the headspace to enjoy the journey, which completely sucks since the feeling has literally been going on since the start. But, life, privilege, yah, yah, yah…

Hope we are all having a nice Sunday morning thus far and those still sleeping, I envy you.

Going to see the FNAF movie with the Minipeelers today. Looking forward to it!

I'm barrelling through s2 of Mr Inbetween but when I say that I need some time to reflect between episodes, it's such an unusual show... Action x character study. The direction and cinematography take it to another level with the suspense

Citizens of MelbZone there is a solution to our moth plague! I shall attract then Godzilla stomp them!

For anyone wondering if the white flutterby they are looking at is in the cabbage destruction gang, I found a guide showing how they are differrent from native butterflies.

A very hairy eyeball in the direction of persons who over emotionally post about divorce paperwork in the am then FB status a new relationship in the pm

No moths were harmed making this post

Is it warm, or is it cold. Should I stay or should I go.

Decided to hit the bellarine to give the chilli patch a bit of love and someone pulled out my 4 yr old Jalapeño plant :(

It was still good just being overwintered.

RIP little chillo.. we had some good times together mainly in wraps, on pizzas and chicken borgers.

Will have to get a replacement.

Saw this monster of a snake on my walk.

It's been a big day and I'm tempted to go to bed early. But I put up some lights and need to wait until it is dark enough for them to turn on so I can see how they look.

Edit: lights pretty. Am now in bed.

Made a stupid decision and looked at the other sites discussions about The Marvels, and some reviews.

I saw it yesterday and honestly it was excellent. Just a really fun, wholesome time, with some great thematic meaning and really great acting. Some of the storytelling was a tad gnaff, but Mario had no plot and Avatar 2 was the same plot repeated four times for three hours. These things are okay, yet The Marvels is being torn apart for no discernible reason.

That's enough Internet for me for one day. Some days I worry about the Internet as a whole; it's so angry at everything and completely opposed to things being just...decent? Everything either has to be "the very best ever" or it's the worst thing ever and needs to die.

Back to finishing my degree I guess

Had vague plans of doing a beachwalk this morning, but I remembered traffic signs all over saying Beach Rd would be closed today (presumably for a fun run or similar).
Eh well. Snuggled in bed with the cats and will have a nice chill day today.

I had a full gardening day today. Lots of planting done - it is great having the new garden beds, I feel like I actually have enough space to plant everything. I planted lots of brassicas in defiance of the butterflies.

Wow, where did Saturday night go? Finished watching the Milli Vanilli documentary. Really quite sad, but so nice to see Fabrice’s life after.

urgh I had a sleeping tablet last night and it ruined my entire Sunday. Trying to fight off napping and I slept all the way until nearly midday.

Very exciting UFC card today! Title fights in light-heavyweight and heavyweight, both extremely close match ups. Whoever among you is watching, enjoy!!
