    Thank you everyone for the kind words and wishes, this is such an amazing space. Thanks for being you 💜 The meeting with mother went fine, minimal narkiness. Dono dropped to the shelter and they were so excited by it that I just started crying. Am now home with wine, a whingey cat and a very, very kind and loving Boyo.

    Seems like everyone has hurt themselves in some way today, so I’ll add to the pile.

    Sharpened my chef’s knife yesterday and promptly cut myself as you do. This morning though it’s a really clean cut so the sharpening worked. Problem was I’d had a few glasses of wine before so it didn’t look very pretty.

    Seeing my mother today for the first time in over 5 years, so of course spent the night going over every possibly argument and guilt trip she’ll pull up. However, am taking Boyo, who she hasn’t met, so she’ll certainly be on her best behaviour.

    Food poisoning, so of course everyone is inviting me everywhere today for things i really want to do (ice skating with seldom seen nieces, friends belated b’day because he’s been caring for his mother after chemo, most likely last ever anniversary bash for local pub as their building is slated for demo)

    Saturday. Bloods drawn for next week’s quack appointment, shopping done, laundry on the line. Time to head out for brunch and/or go to the nearest BWS to top up on booooze. Decisions decisions …

    PS. It’s a lovely day out there.

        the beats are old school, cable only , I’ll put new ear covers on for hygiene, otherwise perfect

        the tv and disc player needs a power adapter, I think I have one that fits

    Just parted with my mother who will be leaving Melbourne tomorrow at like 6am. Good times. Weather for her stay turned out so much better than anticipated. I’ve copped a moderate sunburn which I don’t mind at all because I’m probably vit D deficient normally - and dont mind some extra colour on my skin. Today we didn’t do much, roam around Albert Park lake, into Prahran to suss the market and get lunch, the home for a few beers on the balcony.

          Deterring possums requires the old fashioned naptha ones. Which I reckon are horrible in the house but work quite well outside as pest control. They do melt in a lot of rain, but in dry weather last quite a while.
