Farewell beloved Le Chat Noir socks. Hello upleveled cat ball.
My heart sank until I read “socks”
Oops. I could perhaps have worded that better.
Le Chat Noir ball.
Edit: I wonder if Miss Meow would like this, her portrait on a toy?
I still have the other one if you’re in the market for used socks 😹
Shopkeeper remembered my cheese, and left a note incase I came back after he left 😭 cheese acquired
Praise cheesus

Thanks @Seagoon_@aussie.zone. Bot #001 you’re grounded. No no no I don’t want to hear it. No electronics for a week. You’ve been naughty.
You need to pay botbot weekend rates.
bot is on 150% for Saturdays and 200% Sundays. It’s like bots today have no work ethic, not turning up to work without even having the courtesy to call in sick. Maybe if I try installing a table tennis app to create a more “fun” work environment?
Maybe some iced donuts in violent colours with sprinkles, filled with fake cream. And a new coffee machine in the break room.
Maybe. I would have to limit the donuts to 1/4 donut per person, and it can’t be a regular thing. And I suppose I could do a coffee machine, as long it is the cheapest machine available, I don’t suppy any coffee, and when it breaks in two weeks (which it will cause it’s cheap and dodgy) I can blame it on staff being too rough and refuse to replace it, leaving only a container of now-useless coffee pods that staff hopefully purchased with their own money sitting forlornly on the bench.
This is the way. Useless coffee pods - weeelll, my employer purchased a pod coffee machine, but the pods have to be ordered online as they aren’t available at ANY of the supermarkets … I think the machine has been used maybe three times ???
What if… Bot#001 is already grounded and hence unable to create the daily posts? The conspiracy continues…
Behold, today’s trio of curries, feat. more green. Tomato paste is a godsend. Gonna chuck some in the freezer
managed not to make a mess of my kitchen making it this time
Spicy soy meat, carrot, capsicum and tomato paste with dark and light soy sauce as a dry curry
Zucchini cooked in a slurry of dessicated coconut ground with green chilli, curry leaves, garlic and mustard seeds
And cauliflower, mushrooms and peas in a creamy, coriander heavy, mild and slightly sweet coconut curry sauce, with a touch of tomato paste, finished off with the crucial dried fenugreek leaves and a pinch of dried mango powderErk. Spending today dressmaking. I need a new outfit for xmas: but when I looked at what I wanted to wear, and what my budget was, and assessed the difference, I dug out the sewing machine. It’s the pinning and pissfarting around that’s doing my head in. And I’ve had to re-calculate all my usual measurements due to sloth and advancing age. And linen is a shocking price at Lincraft even with 30% off. Fortunately the Sacred Heart opshop had linen curtains in a nice colour for $10 per curtain.
Pix to follow when completed.
Note to self: don’t change size if you can possibly help it between now and xmas.Fortunately the Sacred Heart opshop had linen curtains in a nice colour for $10 per curtain.
Is that Julie Andrews???
You don’t instantly recognise the reference? I mean, yes that’s Julie Andrews. But if you’ve managed to get through life without seeing Sound of Music, I’ll find that remarkable. It feels like it was on TV reruns every year throughout my childhood.
Confession time. I’m not a tv/film person. We didn’t have tv growing up, and I’ve never owned one. I think I’ve seen 3 films in a cinema in my life. I’m familiar with the story and the songs of The Sound of Music, but not the film. I know I’m an outlier in the pop culture population, but so it is.
Wfh today, they’ve given me the inbox to manage. Feels good they recognise I’m trustworthy and reliable, quick learner and analytical.
Manager said she thinks I have ADHD, as she has it too, but she’s medicated. She said I remind her of herself before she was diagnosed lol. Just another thing to add to the long list of mental shite I have haha
Also going out tonight with a mate for their birthday, then I have D&D tomorrow. I’m so stuffed already
The 2nd night of motocross is on tonight at the stadium so there are middle aged dudes wearing camouflage all over the place. I can see you, idiots.
Ok so just before I hit Post I looked down and I’m 40 and wearing camo shorts. God damn it. That’d be why the guy at the shop asked me if I’m in town for the motocross! I meant guys wearing a lot more camo than this! Argh I’m a hypocrite!
My kitty still isn’t terribly well. Her temp is down though which is positive but seems she has possibly a skin and ear infection. Skin I can deal with… Ear infection she is going to claw the shit out of me.
My other cat doesn’t recognise her (since she’s been bathed, showered and has topical cream on her) so she’s kinda being shitty but there’s no fighting, just hissing.
Otherwise I’m doing OK? Work has been a stressor lately since I can’t seem to make progress on a few things, but realising I need a mentor (relatively new workplace) to help me progress. My boss is honestly a bit meh and a terrible mentor so seeing if I can get one somewhere else in the org.
Quiet weekend planned, and looks like the weather will be kinda meh. Also trying to figure out Christmas. My family wants me to visit them in
hellWarrnambool but I’m not inclined to go… Although it’s the only time I can really see my brothers but the rest of the family I clash with super quickly and I have shitty memories of growing up there so it brings a lot of anxiety, My new partner is supportive and will go with me but I don’t think I want to inflict that on her… So we’ll see.Humidity, amirite?
BoM sez the next week is gonna be all rain and clouds. Rubbish
I have egg nishna on 😟
Melbcat’s care has been booked and it’s apparently for three weeks in case things take longer. Wtf is going on? I was expecting only a night or two waiting in emergency as there’s no way I’ll be able to get all of the normal tests so soon. I really don’t want to leave her there that long. I don’t want to leave her at all.
I don’t expect useful results anyway… hospitals are good for if you’re bleeding out but terrible for anything invisible or complex. Fuck this year man
Judging by this weather, we should have knee-high grass by this arvo.
I mowed on Thursday, don’t want to mow again (took me 2 hours)
2 hours! That’s so cute.
Watching George of The Jungle, and it really is a stupidly hilarious film.
Also young me thinking the gorillas were real makes adult me giggle.
Omg my weekend is ruined. FML. Just got home from the shops only to realise I didn’t put the cheese I bought in my bag and left it at the counter. I’m too lazy to go back right now so I’m just hoping they will remember, I’m a regular there. I will just have to be cheeseless until I can be bothered going back. Maybe this afternoon, maybe tomorrow. This weekend is sucks
🧀
Nooooo! Not the cheese
PB for distance, and serenity on the forest track. That hill was a fucker though!
House is beginning it’s Christmas makeover, sooo much stuff every where.
This time of year is always a funny one because I’m a big old grinch and my housemate acts like they literally came from Mrs Claus’ womb.
