Melbourne

I was at the shopping centre earlier, paying for stuff at the fruit shop. I hear all this yelling and see a guy going nuts from a security guard confronting him over stealing something from a store. He starts shouting and causing destruction - knocking store displays over, hitting fruit and vegetables from displays onto the ground and was coming closer to me. I turn around and start pushing my trolley back from the register to get away from him. While I was turned around he picked up a giant pumpkin from a display next to the register and threw it right at the back of my head. This was a massive grey pumpkin, like a rock to the head. Now I’m sitting here with an ice pack to my head wondering why me. Thankfully no bleeding and I feel ok so far, just sore.

I reported it to centre management and made myself known to the police before I left. Surely this is some kind of assault.

Hund ist kaputt

"You're in bed and yet I've only had 2 treats today. How curious."

Post 3rd treat

Also a rainbow

New project. Not sure if it will work yet, but I think you can get the idea. (Black just to not flash)

Didn't get too wet out there, got through quite a bit, very satisfied. Geez I hope there's more fieldwork coming up. When it's easy and streamlined like this and out in the bush I'd happily keep going. Great for the mind and body.

Now it's time to get some cat love 🥰 it's so nice having Sox at home although I feel like she's thoroughly bored, poor dear. It is a claustrophobic, dark and small apartment, and there isn't even anything interesting to look at out the windows! I can't even play with her using her toys because there's no room to move around easily.

I was today years old when I first tried Marmite. It’s milder than Vegemite, and almost seemed a bit sweeter? Possibly less salty? I didn’t mind it, but will be sticking with Vegemite for the stronger flavour I’m used to.

Good night everyone

take care, sweet dreams 😘

Fuck me dell are insane. Got an embedded pc with a white/amber error led. But can i find out what the fuck that means? Nooooo

This is going to sound weird but hear me out.

Get your frozen strawberries, preferably with icicles on them, into a bowl.

Microwave (mik-row-wah-vay) them part of your dishwasher is empty, so for about two minutes for me. You're left with kind of soft strawberries and some "strawberry water".

Add a few tablespoons of yoghurt and mix. You now have a dessert that has the warmth of a pudding and consistency of runny custard.

That's disgusting, isn't it...

TMI attempted a nasal saline rinse. Not as bad as feared. Will it prove helpful or hoccum remains to be smelt

I guess this new place is officially home now, just had my first delivery. Mr Woof was not impressed that someone dared to knock on our door.

I now have a few new mugs.

Once I have cleared enough boxes to allow other people to fit inside I'll be able to invite people in for coffee 🙂

Him: "Ooooh evening coffee?"
Me: "Ja ja bee-coz vee ar zo Europee-ahn ja ja" Him: "Ah sì sì! Ev-e-ning kaffee ja zo Europee-ahn"

Mickey: "¿Que?"

Anyone else following along with the Erin Patterson trial still? She's on the stand today and it's fascinating.

Breaking news: Miss Meow has trialled her window hammock. It was apparently a good place for some after breakfast grooming. She has now disapeared again, either for more box exploration or maybe just going back to bed.

Mr Woof has also successfully navigated the dog door for the first time this morning. He's now napping on my lap, which he fully deserves after the big day yesterday - it's very stressful for a security dog to see a bunch of people tresspass onto your territory and steal absolutely everything.

A Bunnings trip might be on the cards very soon, I'm going to need a lot more extension cords! And I still need to get numbers for the letterbox.

I ordered a second remote for the garage door, which was not as expensive as I feared. I also ordered another security camera to go in the garage - I'm not used to having a remote opening door and I find myself fretting that it might be open any time I can't see it. I know it's silly, but it's like when you have to keep checking you locked the door, my own minor touch of OCD.

Our morning walk was a bit brisk this morning, but the sun is now coming out and it's shaping up to be a very nice day. Miss Meow has found herself a very good hiding spot in the future sewing room - if she hadn't had her eyes open I would not have known she was there. Mr Woof is still a bit unsure about the new dog door and needs prompting to use it. I thought the security camera might have some video of him using it this morning, but all you can see is my arse as I'm leaning over encouraging him, and the audio is all me going, "that's it, push! push!" like a crazy dog door midwife 🤣

Gout flare up. Fucking nice. These meds better kick in soon.

Is it possible that Erin wanted to make the elderlies a little bit sick (not actually kill them outright) to bring Simon closer to her? Munchausen by proxy perhaps?

Finally getting my day underway after sleeping in, I don’t know what was so hard about making some toast and coffee today.

Ex co-worker says her manager is ignoring her. He literally sits next to her. Jesus christ.
