Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
Finally got the motivation to tackle That Cupboard in the kitchen (you all know the one). Better half of two bin bags and a good half of the yellow bin later, plus a few things for the op shop pile and a few things I need to sort/see if they can be repaired etc.
Now time for a well earned drinkie and later, watch more of Mary and George.
Mulwala Water Ski Club has generously decided to fund my entire weekend and even added in a little extra spending money. Now back to hide in my air-conditioned motel room.
I decided to sell my weights set as, despite best intentions, I have really not been using it. One last workout getting everything to the door for pickup. Miss Meow is going to miss the bench, she enjoyed sitting on it.
Edit: weight set is now out of the house. No idea how the guy who bought it is planning on getting it into his car. Mr Woof is keeping an eye on him while he tries various tetris combinations.
Normally I penny pinch to a ludicrous level (because I like having extra money for emergencies) but there's a $25 magnetic laundry shelf thing at Kmart that might keep things a bit tidier. It also holds a roll of paper towel but with the placement it could hold a hand towel.
I'm also wanting various art supplies. Perhaps a few more pairs of period jocks. Why does everything cost so much.
Be careful with magnetic shelves, they can be addictive. I'm up to four in the kitchen and one in my locker at work. If you have the right spot for them they can be very useful.
Oh no not the Moomba parade ๐ That and the birdman rally are the only decent things about Moomba.
moomba parade was started to stop people going to labour union marches
Wow. That changes the whole vibe. Thanks for the headsup!
Back in Melbs from Tassie and holy crap itโs still so hot. Now for the impossible task of cooling my house thatโs been locked up for 3 days.

Excellent weather for sheets and towels wash day. Have even hung out the doona for a thorough uv powered airing out.
Ran a risky play and popped the oven on for thirty mins to crisp up some pre-parboiled vege to have for the next few days, doubled down and cooked some snags....I think it worked. Now have yummy salad options.
yums
Where is the 50km/hr winds bom? I cancelled plans for that ๐คฌ
Do you think frozen raspberries in banana bread would taste ok because I think it would?
I think bananas are evil incarnate, but frozen raspberry would work well in any similar bake if you account for defrost liquid.
