The one plant I have vetoed for our garden, to my wife's dismay.
It's a choice between me being able to breathe and see, or the jasmine.
Of course, it took her wayyy too long to come to a decision about how to proceed though... 😆
EVERYONE takes her side on this 😛
Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be over here snorting antihistamines.
Fresh jasmine is delightful. Jasmine in beauty products is yeah urinal cake territory.
Mr P finally tested negative this morning. I'm off back to work, broke as a joke! Wish they hadn't taken away sick pay for casuals, would've really helped. I know you get paid a little extra and you're meant to tuck it away in case you get sick, but in a single income family that ain't happening.
at the time it was rumoured he had a few kinks
the stories about Salieri were also contemporary rumours
I may have got 92 on my last assignment, but I could raygun this current one. NFI what I am doing.
That's me usually. Chat gpt is good for prompts so you can get your bum in the right direction.
😝 The Daily Chair. I gave the chair a rub down using the finest sandpaper and then applied the 3rd coat with long strokes being careful for drips.
It's look so glossy and awesome. Can't wait to use it on a daily basis. 🙂
Learning modules through work are always a terrible experience. Why are they so clunky and difficult to use? They could just be forms with embedded images and videos
State government ones are pretty bad as well, so much time wasting and they require you to click everything on the page to even be allowed to proceed to the next slide.
I did accessibility testing on some when I worked at the DET. They were so bad. All I had to do is be able to use a screen reader and TAB through all the options, so many failed at that.
Apparently accessibility needs to be scoped into these things from the start, they don't build them with those features in mind
Great Ted Cat update.
Ted asked to have his face brushed and the rest of him brushed too. He likes it and I think he sees the need for it. Sadly he isn't a low maintenance Neeb he's a high maintenance Blue Himalayan, which explains his very cute face.
He has knots that we are working on. 😿
Hooray that's the last happy bubble for the retaining wall. Fuck me I need another radox bath I'm not built for that.
I thought I was okay fit but that thing broke me.
but then after you've had a cuppa and a sit you wander out to look at it and its' a rippa.
Did you need to agi behind it?
eh, is not so bad. We had to agi behind ours, but grading was easy and I just used a presocked megaflow
• Movie was good
• I did not understand the nerdy plot
• I do not understand the rules of the multiverse.
• My brain hurts
• Good jokes
Deadpool and Wolverine?
It helps if you've been following the Marvel universe, but the movie did a good job with exposition I think.
Very entertaining flick.
Yeah Deadpool and Wolverine. I went in a virgin and came out none the wiser. I did laugh lots though.
• I do not understand the rules of the multiverse.
Thats kind of the point. I think they might've even mentioned that in the film haha
Despite mrs b’s lack of enthusiasm, and a little bit more lenience from her than I would like I’ve gotta say the bedtime routine seems to be working a lot better with the kid. That’s night 2 he’s gone down after 2 stories without it being a shit fight. And we’re only 3 days into the routine.
Got my lighter doona out tonight, guess I'm going to play the doona swap game for the rest of spring.
I’m way ahead of you.
I was playing doona swap last night and the night before.
Didn’t sleep till 2am :(
I woke up at about 2 am overheated. Did fall back to sleep, somewhat.....
Dark circles under my eyes today though.

I realised I haven't had Vegemite in a long time. I'm ashamed to admit it, but it's been about 1-2 years since I last had it. I remedied that with some Vegemite toast. I dont usually eat breakfast, but sometimes you just need that nice kick to start the day. And it's useful because it's actually got some food value, especially with wholemeal or high fibre bread. Unlike most cereals which are essentially just flavoured sugar
Baku ♥️ vegemite
I have vegemite every day! It's the breakfast of champions, although mine is on a home made spelt sourdough.

Sourdough 🤤🤤🤤🤤
I only have sourdough on a fancy day when I get eggs Benny from a nice cafe. There's one near be that does a bleeding Jane one or something like that. Basically just eggs Benedict, but they put sriracha in the eggs and over the top. Pretty good with a tall OJ!
It's easy and cheap to make sourdough at home Baku, a few of us here do it. I'm sure we could set you up with some starter!
•
I'm not sure I quite have the brain (or consumption) capacity to make bread at home. I usually only eat bread a couple times a week, and wouldn't eat sourdough enough to be worth it
F yeah found a final breakfast burrito pack in the freezer. Lunch just went from "meh" to exciting.

I got some bad news from the TAFE company. Apparently they've run out of funded places for the course I wanted to take, but I was able to get a place before they did. Unfortunately apparently without as many free TAFE people, and the absence of many paying people, they don't have enough people to start the course anymore. Is this a normal thing in the TAFE world? It sounds odd
They offered me a few other options. There's a few courses I could switch to, notably a dual cert IV in community services + AOD. I was planning on taking a dual IV in AOD + Mental health next year, so I'm open to the option, but I'm not confident I have the skills and capacity to do that. It's still 1 night a week, but 3 hours instead of 2, and for 15 months.
The other 3 options are essentially all variations for cancelling in some capacity. I can either go take an induction to community services course, which doesn't really give me anything, although I can then do a credit transfer in a cert III/IV, or I can cancel and find a different provider (I have not sentimentalities for these ones, they were just the first one suggested to me and seemed decent enough), or I can cancel and go on a waitlist for their next cert III, probably next year
That's nuts. I'm sorry Baku. Idk what the right solution is, but if it were me, I'd just cancel and find a different institution.
Is this a bigger place (like Box Hill, holmsglen, Swinburne etc) If so ask them about advice on alternate courses and could they help you enrol at another institution, seeing as they cancelled the course. No guarantee they will say yes, but hopefully they may be able to help. No harm in asking. But from your previous comments though, sounds like there was lots of stuffing around anyway, so I’m wondering if it was a smaller organisation or private college? If so, probably for the best. You might have dodged a bullet on having a bad experience, they sound very disorganised. Use your motentum to find an enrolment elsewhere. You got this! It’s just a blip, don’t let it get in the way of your goals.
Is there another training organisation in your area offering the course you want? Because I say go for it, you're ready to do it so get it happening.
Welcome to the multi club! An infinate array of focus options, none of which will ever seem to be quite right. Plus, as a bonus, you have an increased likelihood of peering down your nose at random items you hold out at arms length whilst still failing to see them clearly.
I kept changing my blankets over last night because it was so warm, finally got some decent sleep at around 2am.

After waking up in a 10-13 degree room for the last week or few, it's been nice to wake up and it's still 18-19. I've even been able to put the electric blanket down to low again!
Muscle memory is a heck of a thing hey. I got a coffee at the drive through, used my right hand to put it in the cup holder so used my left foot to go for the break, my brain recoiled cause I guess it was expecting a clutch to go all the way to the floor. Looked down at the gear selector and there was a 3 second delay (though it felt like an eternity) where my brain goes "P? D?! the fuck is this, what do I do?" before it finally clicks and go "oh. Select D you idiot".
2 years we've had some form of auto car now, and for 10 months its been my primary daily driver.
I've been in an auto for 10 years. Some days I still push the clutch in at the roundabout near home.
