another beauty π
They're always so different I love them :)
They are. I was just thinking of yesterday's picture and how it is beautiful too and yet different. I love this. π

Bit concerned for Queensland with the coming cyclone. Sounds like it might be very destructive. Hope everyone can stay safe.
Yep. Most of my team at work is based in Brisbane and it's all becoming a bit real with the disaster preparedness stuff and office closures etc
Been thinking a lot about friends and family there. It's looking very serious and worse than the usual floods and ex cyclones/tropical lows they get there. They haven't had a real cyclone hit them bang on since what, 1974? They're not as used to this as FNQ or the Pacific islands but I hope there won't be any deaths at least.
Huge population growth since then, lots more people at risk of being affected now.
Definitely a worry.
They have hardly recovered from the last ones. βΉοΈ
Goodnight all. I am tired and frazzled of brain.
Goodnight.
A moment of appreciation for authentic, good quality Japanese rice (not the supermarket stuff). It's spenny but worth every cent getting the good shit from Hinoki... Can eat it just plain with a bit of shichimi and salt. Glistening, toothsome, and somehow holding its own flavour.
yum, good rice makes everything taste better
Am now in possession of a jungle bathroom.
steamy?
Can be arranged. I've stuck leaf decals everywhere.
Cool. π
There's more but I don't like being in mirror shots π
That's SO COOL!!!
Thank you! π
(Also not expensive and landlord safe!)
Very nice - works well with the coloured towels too. Makes me regret all my cream towels a little!
I'm a big fan of intentional mis match co-ord
Something I've been stressing about for at least a year came into the open at work today and everyone just sorta went π€·ββοΈ
Not sure if that's good or not, but at least the stress is off my plate.

I finally bit the bullet and ordered some supplies to reupholster my couch & armchairs. I've been dithering for years over whether I want to spend the money doing that or just buy a new one. I have gotten to the stage of putting everything into the cart and seeing the total a few times, decided it was too much and started looking at new couches instead. Then I decide I quite like my couch and don't really want the cheap junk I could buy for that price and circle back around to reupholstering again.
So now I have $840 worth of foam, webbing etc. ordered (I already have fabric) and fingers crossed I don't mess it up. Miss Meow should be happy with my decision anyway, as the set has an open wood frame which makes the space underneath a good napping spot.

Anyone have a good substitute for Somersby ciders? Boyo has decided he doesn't want to drink them any more because reasons unrelated to taste, but wants something that tastes similar. He's tried Three Oak (okay) and Monteith (not a fan).
I can't remember the brand but don't sleep on pear cider. As far as finding another brand, buy a 4/6pack of everything Dan's stocks over a few weeks / months, save a can or two of each, then eventually have a tasting session to compare them as a group. Works for any booze, I've done it for tequila and stout.
I had an obsession with Rekorderlig cider personally, their Pear cider is absolutely delicious!
Reasons? I like my cider dry. Recorderlig Passionfruit (skip the others) WilliecSmith Bone Dry. I think Somersby tends a bit sweeter

Just got a call from a wrong number.
"Steve just callin' 'bout your 400 head of cattle".
Me: "You might have the wrong number, but good luck with the cattle".
Him "oh, righto thanks mate".
Probably the shortest most aussie convo I've had in a while.
