    My friend hiked Mt Kosciuszko yesterday! I am so proud of her!

    Definitely something I want to do as well one day.

    I love when drivers go through red lights at pedestrian crossings and almost hit me.

    The next cunt that does it is getting dragged out of his fucking car.

    the young Seagoons have moved into their new home

    we all hugged and were a little teary when they said goodbye

    I’m so lucky to have had them here, they really are a joy. 🥰🥹

    they now live 10 mins by car, 20 by bus and we will see them often 🥰

    Oh dear, startled a homeless man in my elevator on the way out for groceries. I think this happened earlier in the week too, I passed two police officers in my buildings lobby at around 715am earlier this week. Plus a month or two ago I came across a clearly drug affected man lying in the elevator in the morning… Our building needs a swipe card to get into after hours so idk how it’s happening. We’re not in a dodgy location either.

    This morning the man said “sorry, I do apologise”, and scuttled out of the elevator with a plastic bag with items in it, but that was on my 10th floor… I waited at the tram stop for my tram in view of the building for the next 5 mins and didn’t see him exit. I wonder if he’ll be there when I get back.

    Edit: I’m back and didn’t see him

      Any sensitive skin will taste the spicy. The spices even speed up your digestion because you’re intestines taste them. It’s not that curries make people shit themselves, it’s that people aren’t used to the spice and fiber (lentils) to their body works to get it out faster.

    PSA for anyone doing meal planning today: Pancake Tuesday is this week, giving you the opportunity to indulge in as many pancakes as you like without anyone questioning your meal choices.

    For anyone wanting the ultimate pancake challenge I have managed pancakes for all three meals one year. Sweet pancakes for breakfast, Japanese vegetable pancakes (okinomiaki) for lunch and filled savoury crepes for dinner.

        Huh, you’re a little older than I thought.

        My Dad was in his teens, and we’ve had a chat about what he remembers - he’s the one that taught me the little jingle, and taught me to do old-money sums using the bag of old coins his Mum still kept to use in the Christmas pudding! - but I didn’t realise you were near that vintage too.

        It was a lizard on the 2c and some sort of little possum on the 1c, if I recall
