  • Severely underdressed for this wind on the way back and kicking myself for not at least wearing a light coat. Ya got me, Melbourne. Three weeks away and I lost my senses...

    • brrr, I just put my oodie on

      • My unit has still retained some of the heat from the past few days but I'm definitely putting on the warm pants and socks and making a nice hot cuppa

  • My bolognese sauce tonight was a little too acidic so I googled it and added a little bit of butter as a remedy. Fixed it right up. And so delicious too. 🤤

  • Sunday night cooking, with a glass of wine, and ABC jazz whilst the kids laugh playing Minecraft together. Nice

  • At the p's place finally convinced them to put grip tape on the wooden stairs (3 flights up to the second story). Over the years I'd say I've stacked about 30 times going down them (basically your feet slip forward and you're on your arse). Kinda wish I had a little video compilation of all of those moments.

    When I was staying over the other night it happened again but I was holding a glass of wine. No one will believe me but I only lost about a 1/3rd of it which I thought was really impressive.

  • For anyone wondering if the white flutterby they are looking at is in the cabbage destruction gang, I found a guide showing how they are differrent from native butterflies.

  • Up way too early courtesy of cashews… I should not have put the water they soaked in, back in. Oh well, live and learn. I have been surprisingly productive this morning, although my eyes now hate me. I have also enrolled in T1 subjects which has also caused me to pity future me. Like I want this, but also am just not in the headspace to enjoy the journey, which completely sucks since the feeling has literally been going on since the start. But, life, privilege, yah, yah, yah…

    Hope we are all having a nice Sunday morning thus far and those still sleeping, I envy you.

  • Decided to hit the bellarine to give the chilli patch a bit of love and someone pulled out my 4 yr old Jalapeño plant :(

    It was still good just being overwintered.

    RIP little chillo.. we had some good times together mainly in wraps, on pizzas and chicken borgers.

    Will have to get a replacement.

    • Who the hell walked into your garden and yoinked your jalapeño :( RUDE :(( was it the neighbours with the flooded yard

    • I'm sorry for your loss.

      I guess my Jalapeno that survived the winter is still just a youngster!

  • urgh I had a sleeping tablet last night and it ruined my entire Sunday. Trying to fight off napping and I slept all the way until nearly midday.

    • that reminds me I should take a pill tonight because even though I finally went to bed at an appropriate time last night, I still feel kinda not normal.

  • Made a stupid decision and looked at the other sites discussions about The Marvels, and some reviews.

    I saw it yesterday and honestly it was excellent. Just a really fun, wholesome time, with some great thematic meaning and really great acting. Some of the storytelling was a tad gnaff, but Mario had no plot and Avatar 2 was the same plot repeated four times for three hours. These things are okay, yet The Marvels is being torn apart for no discernible reason.

    That's enough Internet for me for one day. Some days I worry about the Internet as a whole; it's so angry at everything and completely opposed to things being just...decent? Everything either has to be "the very best ever" or it's the worst thing ever and needs to die.

    Back to finishing my degree I guess

    • I hate to betray my one time brethren/cousins like this, being an ex weeb, but some fandoms have taken the cultural acceptance/mainstreaming of their medium over the last 10 years as a licence to be 40 year old jerks controlling the narrative

    • I think some parts of the internet are just angry at any Marvel movies now. I like this one precisely because I'm just there to turn my brain off, have fun, and awwww at the kitties. Felt like Barbie but without the moralizing. It's a breath of fresh air from the THE WORLD IS ENDING marvel after Endgame because the world is not going to end any harder than half the population dead.

      • Hard agree. Honestly that was precisely what I went into the film for. Velhani was fucking great, the flerken were adorable (so. Many. KITTENS!) and honestly the whole cast were clearly having a great time on set. As you say, not every Marvel movie needs to be "zomg the world is ending!1!1!!!!!1"

        In short, I just want to watch fun movies and have fun watching them, without then being blasted with "this is an awful film, how dare they do this to us". I didn't like Mario, but that doesn't mean it doesn't deserve to exist.

      • I actually feel they should have stopped at Endgame because of what you say, what else is going to compare...? But then I watched Loki which was completely out of left field for me.

  • I had a full gardening day today. Lots of planting done - it is great having the new garden beds, I feel like I actually have enough space to plant everything. I planted lots of brassicas in defiance of the butterflies.

  • Wow, where did Saturday night go? Finished watching the Milli Vanilli documentary. Really quite sad, but so nice to see Fabrice’s life after.

  • It's been a big day and I'm tempted to go to bed early. But I put up some lights and need to wait until it is dark enough for them to turn on so I can see how they look.

    Edit: lights pretty. Am now in bed.

  • Very exciting UFC card today! Title fights in light-heavyweight and heavyweight, both extremely close match ups. Whoever among you is watching, enjoy!!

  • art gallery trip done. Gees those paintings of old Melbourne were beautiful. And the Albert Namatjira are awesome.

  • Finally finished His Dark Materials (tv show), it was good but not great. It felt lacking in a lot of areas, and I often couldn't tell if it was bad scripting or bad acting, the bigger names gave reliable performances but some of smaller ones really left a lot to be desired. Will say Simone Kirby (Mary Malone) has definitely been added to my list of actors to watch out for.

    Anyway off to rewatch baby Ruth Wilson absolutely kill it as Jane Eyre in the 2006 adaptation as a palate cleanse.

    • Question. Have you seen the series The Village? It has Maxine Peake in it. It's a really good show if you haven't.
