I grabbed the essentials at the supermarket and bolted out of there because of these 2 kids, full on screaming. One had climbed to the top of the soft drink aisle shelf and was evading any attempts to get him down. The other had cleared out part of a shelf and ran around to the next aisle and cleared out the other side of the shelf to create a kind of tunnel, through which he also was screaming. One staff member was trying to cajole the kid down off the shelf and he was just laughing and screaming. The other staff all had this painful tight, pinched look on their faces. The noise broke me, and I went to the variety store nearby for a kitchen benchtop storage solution. Came home and made that solution work (looks tidy and organised โœ…) and ate half a packet of Butternut Snaps ๐Ÿคฐ๐Ÿผ

Those poor staff ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Thatโ€™s just a matter of time for one of the children to get injured (and legal issues) but thereโ€™s nothing they could really do

Pepper is currently enamoured with Don Henley. Can't blame her, wasted time is a beautiful song.

Sore throat and congestion even after drinking three cups of lemon and ginger tea in a row. I have placement on Monday ๐Ÿ˜ญ I think I've been way too stressed lately, and this is my body telling me to slow down and be in the present more.

You could add honey and spirits to that lemon/ginger tea.

Slept pretty well which was nice. Once Iโ€™ve finished with the PT itโ€™s time for another nap and a chill night.

Next week is interview central so doing fuck all this weekend. I generally get sick of sitting around not being productive after a couple of days so this works for me.

Today I played mini golf in the Flinders St ballroom. It was very cool. Super arty mini golf- for one hole, you put on animal tails and use the tail as your golf club. Very fun.

It's running for another month or so.

In addition to my normal purchases, I spent a frankly stupid amount on a fountain pen. Not sorry

A friend invited us over for a lovely beach walk and a feast of a dinner with delicious, heavy things. Now trying to resist the food coma or I'll be up and pacing at 3am. Word searches and bright coloured pens for some relaxation time.

content warning: mentions of very sad things that happen in this countryI've been too tired to leave my bed today, so I've been reading and watching documentaries about teachers' experiences in all different kinds of schools, including selective schools, where it's super cut-throat, and remote schools. I need to stop reading stuff online, because it's making me even more uncertain than I already am. It also makes me a bit upset that there are people earning stacks of cash for doing fuck all, whilst people are saving lives and educating the future generations and are not being as fairly compensated.

Going on real estate and looking at the properties in remote NT, I saw a house for sale with what looked to be bloody hand prints on the wall. It was horrifying and I went too far down the rabbithole. Cars and houses being broken into, people getting stabbed, abuse, FASD. But this is people's everyday reality in some places. It makes me so sad and I wish there was something I could do. The reality is, people feel that way and go to remote places, then experience trauma and leave.

A Chef is never late, nor is Chef early. Chef arrives precisely when Chef means to.

Sounds like what someone who's late would say

Had a perfectly suburban day today.

Grocery shop and a browse around local shopping centre. People who don't understand personal space, got hip checked.

Early afternoon gym session, weights and sauna. Felt amazing.

Proper afternoon nap.

Went out for dinner, now keeping my missus awake until our daughter needs a ride home from a party.

Hooray just ordered the bits for a new 'puter for a DAW.

Upgrading from an old 2600k lol. That kicked the bucket about a year ago so a good 12 yrs of service. Using a shitty slower (but newer-ish) one since it died. I miss that rig. It became very temperamental, suffered water damage from water cooling mishaps, and spilt wine on it accidentally a few times..

New one will be quick but it won't have the same battle scars or charm :(

Fuck yes!!!!! What are you getting and does it have a million gigs of ram lol
