It's been a big week. I'm tired but I'm ok, I'll rest tomorrow. Plus man and kid picked up her new car today so it's a celebration ๐. Good news is, with a little rearranging both cars will fit in the garage because her's is a matchbox.
Cheers everyone ๐บ and 'ave a good weekend.
*This post was brought to you by a very confused little dog who is wondering why there's a strange car in the driveway.
Has she done a defensive driving course? They're pretty good for learning to swerve and brake, you might be able to get away with something similar out your way.
Mate, she hasn't even got her licence yet.
That's actually a good idea.
Certainly saved me from an accident in my first few years of driving. Some shit went down in front of me on Punt rd and I wasn't going to brake in time so I swerved onto the empty wrong side of the road. I reckon they should be required to move from Ps to Full license.
Naw, Bacon got a mention on the Place That Must Not Be Named as a missed DT'er.
Awww let me go visit
Gutters started overflowing. Thankfully it was the release valve near the tank and not anything else (just cleaned the bloody things a week and a bit ago).
But golly gosh when I hear water gushing I get completely paranoid now after all the water woes over the last few years.
Gushing water scares me more than the power going out.
power outage means safety mechanism stopped the worst.
Gushing water is months to years of fucking drama and mould paranoia
Really hope it rains today. Come on BOM, let your predictions be right ๐
It looks like most of the rain will miss us, but I have set a load of washing in progress so here's hoping!
Op went well but dang, keeping on top of the eyedrops and meds for the next week and doing a lot of cleaning and bending down etc for my mum is quite a bit of work. Between that and getting on top of work and uni it looks like I'll have a lot on my plate
gambling
TAB has a Coalition majority at 17 to 1. Seriously thinking of chucking 10 bucks on it so at least I could buy myself an expensive bottle of scotch to drown my sorrows if they win
omg I can still fit into my year 11 class jacket
are you in year 12?
yes ๐ฃ
I've done a load of washing and cleaned the bathroom. Soon I'll make some guac and a Bolognese sauce but I'm being really lazy about it lol.
Doing a load of washing right now, woke up pretty late so I wonโt be able to get it out for another 30 mins.
I did bolognese sauce last night, as long as it works itโs all good!
After washing Iโll warm up a lasagna and get ready for the Anzac Day footy match.
Made it home from footy. Wet through, but on the bright side I have Mongolian beef and a donut
Morning work complete ๐บ
Friend coming over tonight for dinner, was an spur of the moment decision so now I have to wait for shops to open to get some supplies. Am also part of the DT washing day gang, have a load on. Panic house tidy is also in the works.
Neighboura having a blue outside so of course I'm at the top of my driveway laughing my arse off.
I just had a nap. Why?
I need to stay up till around 2am because I'm going to a concert tomorrow night and want to go out afterwards without zonking out halfway through.
Hilarious scenes here. Kid has now learnt why spending 5 hours in her new car with radio, lights and windows down is too much for a little battery. Also why Mummy has windy windows. Daddy is now charging the battery to atleast wind the windows up in case it rains. Kid has now killed Daddy's buzz.
Post nap regret
post bottle of wine no regret
90 mins waiting at chemist.
Laaaaaaaame.
Edit: 2 hours now. Bad day to need to speak to the pharmacist.
Finally done. 2 and a half hours.
We were far from the only ones who got the shop opening time wrong and had to twiddle our thumbs in the car park
I really do try not to be judgy. But there are people out there actually making an active choice to have margarine on their toast. It's not better for you and it tastes like spreadable plastic.
OK I gotta stop going to bed early. Getting up at 7:30am on my day off is lame lol
Nice juicy storm over Trentham right now and heading our way, so maybe the washing machine magic has sorta kinda worked. Most of my washing is pretty much dry and easily tumble dried from here on so happy about that.

May I please have anything that is not a Hot Cross Bun flavoured Kit Kat. I really need the taste of that out of my mouth.
Salad of shaved apple & cucumber with a vinaigrette dressing, and hot croissants please. And a cup of tea to go with too please.
If anyone is interested in looking at some more outdated decorating I've found another fabulous house. The wallpaper in the bedrooms is particularly interesting.
sanded the outdoor table a bit and have applied the last coat of paint
after it's dry will tidy the balcony ๐
off to the shops after lunch to get some things for fixing up the vintage bedroom suite ๐๐
Ran into Pauline Hanson this morning. She's aged, which I suppose stands to reason. I just hadn't considered that she's 70, now. She's clearly dying her hair bright red these days. I hope she does that for herself and not from some unspoken need to fit a certain look for women in politics. Men are allowed to age and go grey. Parliament is not Hollywood.
My most charitable thoughts about Pauline Hanson are when I'm not thinking about her at all.
I'm glad the Anzac march was dry. Happy for it to piss down this afternoon now.
Alrighty. All I have to do is feed the strays and I'm done for the day.
Hopefully it won't be raining at sunset.
When I walk down to the park they're all sitting waiting for me lol
Also if it started raining just now, it's because I left the house to go for a walk in my gym gear
This is a job for nachos
