Holy sweaty shirtballs. I am COOKED, was out from 11 to 6 jumping in and out of the car but I got the time sensitive stuff done, and I pushed on through to correct ALL the other measurements in one day to make the most of cruisey traffic... and I'M DONE WITH MY DATA COLLECTION!!1!1! (for that side of town, anyway. Got one more area that I might have to let go of if the weather doesn't play nice this weekend/next week)

I'll be glad to not drive over the effing Westgate for another year now, thank you very much.

Bonus is I managed to get some cheap Asian veggies while stopping for refreshments (kang kung, choy sum, winter gourd and very cheap small round eggplants). Plus a full tank of cheap petrol. Ordered pizza for dinner as a very well-deserved treat... just waiting for the clothes to wash and I'll pick it up while I do the laundromat run. Whew, what a day.

the little strawberry yoghurt ice pops were delicious, I chose very very red small straws for a strong flavour

I don't feel guilty eating these either πŸ™‚

Fun fact - the old English word for strawberry is streawberige, etymology is light on this but it could have the same etymology as straw, as in, it is strewn (literally "that which is scattered or strewn"), based on how strawberry plants grow across the ground. Related to Proto-Indo European *stere meaning "to spread".

Literally "strewn-upon-the-ground berry".

when I lived in Europe sometimes species wild strawberries would appear in my garden beds, such tiny little berries, very little taste but they edible, they are very pretty and the robins love them

I read somewhere the strawberries we cultivate and eat are native to America

Go to print something in black and white and it refuses because the colour is low. Fuck HP printers.

Long day! Remembered sunscreen and I remain pale and unburnt.

Now sitting outside the laundromat, washing mein liebes pants for his interview tomorrow. He has used all his spoons, so I sent him back upstairs to rest lol

May your washing of pant land him the prospect of more pant.

After about six hours of gaming, and maybe two hours of phone scrolling and napping; now that the sun has set, I finally feel like getting Thingsβ„’ done.

inspired by Low's recommendation I bought a lot of cosmetics today ☺️ lots of eyebrow and eyelash stuff, new liquid eye liners too

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 points 30 minutes ago

Oooh, tell me more. I'm a cosmetics fiend and wish to know all of the details!! Brands! Colours! Finishes!

Electric toothbrush or manual toothbrush?

[–] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 2 points 22 minutes ago

Manual. Quieter. No vibrating brain. No need for batteries/charging or replacement heads. Or company no longer makes heads the type you need.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 2 hours ago

With less effort

[–] Pilk@aussie.zone 4 points 2 hours ago

Manual, do it in the shower and you get an extra few minutes for free

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 2 hours ago
[–] imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 4 points 2 hours ago

Manual. Gotta get that exercise in somehow.

Electric all the way.
