Oh Gibson you're so beautiful.
How weird. Somebody keeps calling my hotel room phone and then hanging up the moment I answer. I can't figure out how to unplug it but I put the ringer on mute. My balcony light also keeps getting turned on and off. I don't like this. This is what happens in horror movies before some ghost tips the wardrobe over. It's kinda cooked because I literally JUST turned my light off to go to sleep. Fuck off ghost I wanna sleep
Edit: woah I can say I became an old man this weekend... I learnt how a stamp works, I'm being prank called by kids. Bloody brilliant
Being sick sucks. I am still so snotty, I am literally a human snot block.
Itβs disgusting.
I hope everyone has had a lovely day!

Iβm longing for water day alreadyπ¦
Feeling a bit low. Went to the gym which kinda helped. Decided not to go out and save my money for next weekend.
Enjoy your evening everyone β€οΈ
Hike on Mt Macedon was disappointing as the track was closed due to back burning.
It was gloriously wet and cold though, which was nice.
Wife went shopping with daughter and they surprised me with a really nice top. Loving it.
Got a new game, went out for dinner now just chilling and watching a stupid move whilst waiting for the edibles to kick in.
Fat cat sleeping nearby.
Hope everyone has a good evening and night.
I wish I wasn't an ex addict. The whole edibles thing sounds like such a good time. We didn't really have them when I was younger.

Woke up with plans to go to flea market. Take the 92 tram, get off at Place Stephanie, walk down behind the Palaise de Justice, then down the little alley , et voila, je ici de Rue Haute et la Puce.
oookaaay . I am not in that house or even country anymore π΅βπ«π Crazy dreams.
Second last day in Adelaide, flying out tomorrow. Shit sleep again. Almost everybody got back pissed last night and I'm in a room that's right in front of the elevator, so all night I was just hearing Bing Bong followed by 2 minutes of laughing followed by screaming teenagers yelling "cunt" more than even the most methed up far north Queensland bogans
I'm at a yuppy weird cafe for breakfast today. Their menu says they're a not for profit social enterprise cafe. Everything here is all sustainable, their bacon's like fake but still real? It's not vegan or vego, so it's not facon, but it sure as hell is not actual bacon
Decided to skip the opening plenary but I'll get their just in time to talk at people
Morning all.
I saw Miriam Margolyes last night. Brilliant.
Gym achieved. Time to market. I will be taking requests
To market to market to buy a fat pig. A nice fat pig please, and a selection of weird and exotic fruits and vegetables. Some of the nice King Island butter too. Smoked eels if they have any. If there's a secondhand book on watchmaking, then please get that. Here's some money π²π²π²π²π²π²π². Keep the change, or give it to a homeless person or busker.
portuguese tart pls thx mum
Iβm in need of some mustard seeds. Any colour. The cats have eaten all the cress.
I've finished talking at people. It didn't go that well. I was meant to go second, but at the very last minute (23 seconds, to be exact), they told me the first woman was running late and that I had to go first. I managed to confuse the inclusion manager from a community service org and the engagement officer from Qlds version of dffh. Lots of ums and uhhs
I have been giving talks at stuff for years and I feel like this after every one. You will have the lowest opinion of it than anyone else - I promise.

KFC doesn't taste as good as I remember...
I left it too late to put the roast onπah well tomoz.
Unless itβs a whole goat or something seems like plenty of day left??
It takes around 7 hours all up and I donβt really like eating dinner too late for some reason.
Wth is a Melba toast?
Thick slice of fresh bread, toasted on both sides. Then split in half across the whole slice with a sharp or serrated knife and the insides that were soft are then toasted. Basically half slice thickness toasted VERY crispy but not too brown. Delicious with melted butter or dip. My personal favorite after bible leaf toast.

Gross cat ear stuff
Well that sucked. I didn't do the first ear wash well enough the first time (she hated it, so I didn't wipe or repeat) so this morning there was no skimping. I found and watched the company's Youtube video, warmed the bottle of ear cleaner first by sitting the bottle in water, then kept massaging glugs in and wiping it out with cotton wool. Safety glasses were a good call. I may wear a mask next time to keep the splashes off my mouth. Kitty was doing the dog shake.
The black dirt wasn't severe but it just kept coming out. You're meant to do it until no more comes out but it took a very long time and I had to wrap Melbcat in a towel for the first time ever (not spicy just overwhelmed and trying to leave) so I did the best I could. Washed my face, changed my clothes. She's hiding in the other room pretty traumatized. Next time I might give more time for her pain meds to kick in first. In a few hours we'll do the antibiotic drops again.
I think I'm meant to do this twice a day an hour/hour and a half before the drops. I wish the emergency vet had written down the instructions. I hope the first proper clean out was the worst of it. My poor little cat. She was so good despite being terrified.
20 odd years ago I remember listening to a country show on RRR on Saturday mornings. This has been a decent substitute - https://somafm.com/bootliquor/
A sausage roll and a Vietnamese iced coffee to start the busy day.......on the couch.
Ticked a couple more preserves off the To Do list. 6 jars of sweet mustard pickles, and 16 jars of bruchetta topping (basically a marinaded tomato and herb mix).

Cat vom
Cat was sick twice today - instead of getting up right away I passed out again (after calling the vet) and only dreamed I cleaned it. Now those spots are soaking with enzyme spray cleaner and will be getting a second scrub after that.
At least I donβt have to wash her ears out twice a day before drops! (Though it mentions it very confusingly on the bottle.) Itβs once or twice a week.
I havenβt got a text back about help getting her to the usual vet and they say the vomiting could just be stress, so Iβll watch her and recuperate myself. Then if need be Iβll do the taxi rigmarole (cheaper than pet Uber), eat the cost and hope I manage lifting her in and out.
I really wish things would get easier or something good would happen
