          It’s tiring stealing and then eating puzzle pieces, took planning and guile, waiting for the opportunity when no one was looking and then quietly doing it, as if nothing was happening so as to not draw attention.

                Plus, she allegedly ate it. We don’t know for sure.

      Sadly no winding down for me, I get to just keep working as normal (but better paid, yay penalty rates!) The weather is planning to cool down a bit again though which is a bit of a bonus and hopefully it means work won’t be too busy. If people can just keep their bbqs and spit roasts under control and not run into things in their cars it should be a fairly relaxed day (and it’s casual dress so I get to wear my Christmas t-shirt and antlers).

          Yes, and people just won’t stop having emergencies so we can shut down for the day. A bit rude really, how hard is it to have just one day without trying to kill yourself? But no, it’s all ‘I’ll just throw this petol on the bbq to get it going’ or ‘I’m fine carving the turkey after half a bottle of wine’.

    Crochet is not amusing anymore… current thing been sitting somewhere for ages, and was started with the unraveled yarn from another project I got bored with. Guess I burned out on crafting over lockie dees. Maybe I should rip it and start again with doubled strands and a bigger hook, to work up faster and destash more quickly.

    Question is do animal shelters actually accept handmade blankets? And more to the point will I even finish one…

    My body is so tired but my brain won’t rest.

      You could make beanies for the upcoming winter. Beanies are cool because you can practice different stitches and designs with them. They work up fast and can eliminate that boring “every line is the same” feeling. So many patterns out there.

      When it gets cooler you could drop them off at your local charity.

      BTW what size hook are you using?

        I’d have to check because I sized down due to my tension being too loose

        I could try? The strangest thing is I have a knack for knitting socks and can do those without a pattern but beanies always do something weird

    Made fried rice and added too much soy sauce. Added an extra egg, some rice wine vinegar and some mango and I think those things saved it! Yay!

    Made my mum try some and she said it was a bit soggy. I didn’t use day old rice and probably left things in the pan for too long. At least it was edible though!

    Neighbour is continuing his tradition of being a fuckwit on hot days.

    Earlier this year, when we had the 4 day heatwave (January perhaps), he decided to dig up and replant his lawn.

    Today he’s wearing overalls and sanding paint on his car. Outside. In full sun.

    I have to venture into the blazing sun for an appointment which I am not happy about, but it will be my first time riding in the Metro Tunnel so that makes up for it. They don’t really make it seamless during this trial period, the usual train and Metro Tunnel train do not overlap at all. 15 mins wait in the hot weather at West Footscray to change over.

        Look up these artists and all the similar artists on their profiles: Cobrah Kim Petras Ayesha Erotica Slayyyter Vana Only Fire Scene Queen Diamond Doll xo Ramsey Moxifloxi Ashnikko Princess Nokia Brooke Candy

        And then not entirely Slut Pop but I felt fit the vibe were a few of these: Perturbator Gunship HEALTH Magnavolt MASTER BOOT RECORD Deftones Carpenter Brut

        And then whatever other music you think would be ‘sexy’ from there

            I just had to set it properly public. I should add One More Song so it cracks 6 hours, and don’t bother looking up what it’s named after if you don’t already know:

            Hit shuffle on this and enjoy yourself

            I’ve just been chucking whatever feels right in there. It’s a completely different world of music compared to what I usually listen to

          I did not like Ayesha Erotica after the first few listens but her music is so catchy

          There are lots of slut pop playlists around on Spotify! Kim Petras has an album called slut pop. Be warned, it’s slutty.

    Have received a Marchesi 1824 panettone. I’m no expert on panettone but it is certainly packaged nicely. I can report back with photo and review if anyone is slightly interested
