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.
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 ...
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)
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.
Today at the beach all the birds were standing on rocks in the water, even the birds far away
and I found a few things, a big shark vertebrate and some shells . The big shells is interesting, it has a neat hole drilled in it where a cone shell attacked it.
That's a classic! I came upon it in adulthood when going back through their discography lol! Hammer of the Witches is the album I started with, so it has all my favs on there 😂

I scored some retro tech at a garage sale. Some beats by dre, a teac hand held combination disc plyer tv , a small clock radio. $30.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 279d
That’s a good haul
Seagoon_@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 279d
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
