Trip to the beach this morning was interrupted by another car trying to do a u-turn into mine. Thankfully no one was hurt, but my poor little Beastie car is messed up :( letting insurance deal with it, we’ll see whatever they decide.
Oh no! Glad you’re ok. Bad time of year for crash repairs, probably lots of places are closed. Hopefully you don’t have to wait too long.
Thankfully Boyo has a car and I can easily get lifts to work if need be. Not the end of the world but would love a quick answer all the same!
Oh no! Hopefully a quick repair for you.
Thank you! Genuinely not sure if insurance will pick write-off or repair, but whatever it is it is. If it’s write-off off, I’ll pick a cheaper car going forward! If repair, then may Kaelas (named after a character in my favourite book series) and I have many more adventures together! And overall may the person who turned into me not try and blame me and not make the same mistake!
Bought Mickey a mini cat tower (like a pedestal really lol), and a scratch mat. He’s had the zoomies since,
now he's resting
Merry Christmas to Mickey!
What a handsome guy.
Cats fed and watered 🌿
I got picked for this karaoke competition at this place Stay Gold in January.
Kind of exciting!
We are spending the day in here I think
Ooh is that the 7th January? Do you want/need a cheer squad?
I’ll be there whether he wants me to or not, so you should as well 😂
Yay!
It’s the 21st and would absolutely love a cheer squad!
You’re on!
Always found it funny w/ my old kitty that she’d just sit there whilst I was making a god awful distorted mess of a choon completely unfazed.
Then as soon as you play a video w/ a kitty noise she’d freak the f out.
Same! If I watch any kind of random cat clip on my phone she high tails it the fuck out of there real fast lol
What a shmexy guitar and a beautiful cat!
Yay for the karaoke competition!
So.
The deep clean continues.
I’m only doing a little at a time. Another week and I should be done.
Waiting for this cool change to come before deciding if I want to go out. Terrible sleep even under the aircon, so I’m not feeling very motivated at all.
Definitely here now
We did the new train stations today. If you’re looking for a nice morning out go to West Footscray station where you can catch the new trains straight through to all the stops, get off at ANZAC station so you can see at least one of them, then go across the road to the Kettle Black for something to eat.
I’ve been meaning to go there for years and it was worth the trip.
And then of course you jump on a train and head right back again
That is such a good idea! Every time I’ve driven past that cafe I’ve thought it would be lovely to go, but too hard to find a park to drive to.
Gross hot night. Still hot and humid. Blegh. Looks like cool change coming around 1pm though 🙏
Same. Wish I’d listened to earlier me and ran the aircon overnight.
Left the house at 6:45. Got a camera alert a couple of hours later of movement in the house, and surely enough, dog was caught peeing on the couch. It’s always when we aren’t home or at night he goes inside. He knows to go outside every other time, and has his own door.
My mum thinks he’s doing it out of spite because he’s being left alone. Perhaps he just doesn’t like going outside when no one’s home because he has to keep watch if anyone comes in. Who knows.
All I know is that I shall buy him belly bands.
Dogs don’t do spite. Not feeling safe to go outside when no one is there is much more likely.
This
time for new sofas and plastic coverings
and pee pads in the laundry for the dog if he doesn’t want to go outside
Yep.
Will be suggesting the pee pad idea.
Just buy the damn things. No drama.
😂
They make dog nappies (is that what belly bands are?). My SIL had an incontinent old dog that wore them in the house all the time. Definitely beats cleaning up messes
Uuuuuurghhhhh
Might be aircon all night.
I leave in a few days and I’m scared shitless, but also super excited! I’ll get to see my friend after a year apart, experience some cold weather, see snow and eat one of my favourite cuisines. Time to start packing.
Eeee so excited for you! The fear is normal, once you are at the airport and checked in, you’ll feel great about your decision.
you can do this 😸
I am so excited for you and cannot wait to get updates!!! Have the BEST time!! Don’t be scared, you are amazing, you are having an epic adventure and whatever goes haywire becomes a cool story!!
Thank you! Will update you all for sure
I’m editing all the beach pics I took this year. Will do a small slide show of the best later. 🌞🐚🌴
I’m excited!
You have officially summoned big kev.
Rat trap has gone off. No deceased rodent. Time to sacrifice some of the precious peanut butter.
ok ok, here’s your slide show
Loving the bird and tree piccys in particular :)
Nice. The second one is my favourite, and I always like the ones that show repeating patterns, like the sand and mussels.
I like the mussels one a lot. I shoulda taken many more to get the right composition.
it’s stripes of different natural colour and texture.
Blue black rock, white tube worms, blue black mussels, green sea lettuce, sand colour sand
Pretty 😍
My favourites are the bird and the patterns in the sand.
Baby beans asked to be lifted up on the favourite chair and is snoozing. Normally she jumps but I guess she feels like taking it easy right now.
Sometimes a kitty wants to be pampered
hot, tired
hugs
Got home and opened all the windows. The cool change is very welcome.
