15 tortillas have now been made. I now know that it takes an average of 3 minutes per tortilla to roll & cook. Normally I only make a couple at a time, this was way more than I have done in one go before. I have gone a bit overboard for three people, but anticipate lots of yummy leftovers.

Whats the process for making tortillas? And is there a big difference between home made and store brought?

I’m so tired and still a bit sick. But crawling out of my skin with boredom and understimulation. There’s plenty to do but nothing is quite satisfying or able to hold my attention. This heat feels sticky.

Between my physical energy and my feral neighbourhood I can’t even go for a walk.

The cat won’t let me back into the bed so I’m just going to take the end and try to have another nap.

First day I've ever needed a nap during lunch when WFH. Dunno if I actually slept, I doubt it. But I feel a lot better for trying.

Thoughts on the rumour that Costco Docklands is closing?

I kind of think it's a good riddance. The inner city is ill suited for an automotive dependant single story superstore. It's fun when a V/Line replacement coach gets stuck in the queue of drivers wanting to turn into Costco.

In Japan you have to head well out of the way to visit Costco. The only one in Tokyo is in Hachioji. Otherwise you have to visit Yokohama, Saitama or Chiba prefecture.

supposedly Pakey is getting one, but the rumour location is terrible for access so it looks like they've learned nothing.

I knew I should have changed into shorts at the office. That was a hot walk

I admit it, I love soundtracks so much, I have about 150 albums I have bought

Taco Thursday preps are almost complete. Just tortilla making to go. I have lots of little containers in the fridge: carnitas (the meat), lime-pickled onion, sliced jalapeno, roasted tomato salsa, lime & yoghurt sauce and pico de gallo. I will just slice the avocado rather than doing guacamole. I also have individual servings of caramel flan for desert.
