The other day I saw a full sized easel in a skip but didn’t risk it. You don’t always know what you’re bringing into your house with something :(

Plus where would I put it

Melbcat has fled into hiding… she was forced to swallow medicine from her free healthcare and then offered her favourite fancy cat food from a pouch! The insult. She sat in the corner to teach me a lesson and fell asleep like that.

(Actually she hides when she doesn’t feel well. I hope she’s okay.)

Edit: She’s out and finishing the food 👍

How did my package go from NSW to Launceston to the Ausport Depot 5 minutes from home in Tassie to Adelaide and now in Melbourne?

Answering this conundrum is probably the plot to a kids' book with twists and turns and set-backs etc. 😂

Ugh. The tree runner with leaves is getting bigger and I ripped out a second one a short while ago. And having accidentally cut through roots to plant in my own yard as well, it’s very likely going to start growing them up in my actual back yard.

I’d dab them with roundup to keep these contained if it wouldn’t risk landing me in hot water by killing the entire trees.

Trying to improve my space has backfired and I’m feeling seriously discouraged. Fuck me for wanting to plant a few small things of my own huh.

Wondering if it’s worth bothering

raised beds with wicking. Or save up and have a look at the georgie units, they're a bigass size.

Contained, less watering fussing, no roots to bugger around with. Much easier to handle when low on spoons.
