Ok so to cheer the place up a bit I thought I'd share my Halloween story. This was about 30 years ago it's still clear as day in my head. My brother bought this hideous mask thing, it kinda looked like a deranged werewolf, a whole rubber mask over the head deal with God ugly wild hair. I had not seen it.

Walking down the darkened hallway at home heading for my bedroom, he waited in a doorway half way down and when I got close he said "boo". Not loud. Just boo. Well I fucking shit and let out some very explicit language. He just walks off. I was test subject number 1.

Come Halloween night (it was still daylight) he's watching out the window waiting for some teenagers. Finally 3 poor unsuspecting children rock up and just before they ring the bell he flings open the door and in the most horrible Freddy Kruger type voice screams "Ya wants some candy?" They absolutely shat, screamed and tried to run then they laughed. He then has a chat to them to make sure that they're OK. Finished up with "be sure to tell you friends".

He comes in satisfied that it worked. Asks "should I hold a kitchen knife next time?" "No". "It's not real". "No".

Dad kind of casually dropped during the week that I should go up to Moama this weekend for the day to take my new car out and that he'll come, but it sounded like he was half kidding and I said nah because I'm over the pokies (Moama = pokies trip at the Moama Bowls Club). I realised last night that he has been home alone for a month and a half and doing daily trips to Williamstown hospital to see Mum and he probably actually needs a day out.. especially before Mum gets out of the hospital and they'll still be stuck at home for a while. Just called him and said let's go tomorrow, I'll come over later today so we can watch the Australia NZ game tonight and I'll stay over then we can head off in the morning. He sounds very happy.

Gyoza!

I made a thing👻

need hugs, woke up this morning crying after terrible war dreams

Very pretty sky above Thornbury. Mare's tails, mackerel clouds and curtains of ice crystals with blue between, all swirling about. If this was dawn, it would be incredibly spectacular. Wind is pretty strong though.

I offered to take over organising my family secret santa this year because my brother in law who usually does it almost had a breakdown last year trying to wrangle the old people who completely forgot who they were buying for.

If you're organising one; this is an excellent site to do it: Secret Santa Bash

You can select whether direct loops are possible (two people buying for each other) and also add custom rules like X must/can't buy for Y. It's free and easy. You can monitor who has viewed the party and if they haven't after a few days give them a call and get them to check their spam folder. My gmail address didn't filter it out but my microsoft one put it in the junk folder.

Oh and there is wish list function so you can give your secret santa a hint on what to get you!

Every time I think I’ve gotten a bit more used to riding in the windy, the wind is like, 😈😈😈, nope, FU!

I swear, 90mins and it’s like none of my limbs are functioning now. Eating is an effort!

Whippers be snipped, concrete and bricks be stacked in stooks (or possibly stooked in stacks), and both green bin and overflow green bin be stuffed to the gills.

thumps table MORE TEA

Sneak peak It’s rather hard to photo through the shite glass at this place. Grump.

4 hours of eternity to go and I'll be done with work. Shame I got my period today and feel like shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

After owning my headphones for a few years I have just discovered that there is a compartment in the case with a usb and audio cord inside it. I had no idea.

the nukes have gone off  
the internet will soon cease
the millennial plays neopets into the final second of humanity

Introducing last nights' STASH™

got everything used up no waste even with an elevated BAC. I do need to clean the kitchen now :(

Ok plan for today - finish this coffee. Make egg and salami bagel sandwich. Eat bagel. Hang out washing. Vacuum house. Take some stuff to op shop. Maybe have quick rummage around op shop. Buy wine. Come home and finish job stuff. Order Ubereats for dinner. Eat and drink wine while watching Drag Race UK. End.

I don't have anything profound to say but I'm glad gyoza are trending.

I'm not going out tonight
No cocktail concoctions for me
I have my trackies, a mobile game
And in my hand a hot coffee
Chilling out with the cat
With my lover nearby
My mind is stress-free
So I'm gonna get real high 🤘

Well that was a bust.. put my driver (golf club) in the back seat and drove down to Albert Park thinking the wind might keep people away from the driving range but it has not deterred them! Place was packed so I just drove to maccas to claim my free monopoly McChicken, bought an iced chai latte to go with it and drove home. Was nice to get out though so not all bad. I turned on the "Auto Vehicle Hold" feature in the car which activates when you come to a full stop and holds the car so you don't need to keep your foot on the brake. I like it! The first time was nerve wracking because I was sitting behind a car at a red light and there's a certain amount of faith you need to have to take your foot off the brake and trust the system.. but it works perfectly!

Meanwhile, I just put some peri-peri nandos sauce on the McChicken and it took it from meh to not bad at all!

Yesterday I saw someone in a tent at the Carlton gardens , today I saw someone ( different tent ) at Lincoln Square.

This is new. 😢

I just had a long nap and had this weird dream. I won't bore you with details but when I finally worked out how to use the mobile phone after 3 days I called my husband to come and get me, I told him the address was at Exorcism Berry Road. And he knew exactly where that was.

Also someone tried to install a stereo into the roof cavity. Not the speakers. Just the stereo bit. I thought it was a bad idea.

Gosh had a great night out with a friend, few drinks, one joint and a little bit hungover now. Not too bad. gotta go play tennis soon. Hopefully should be ok 🤞

Very windy today!

I haven’t felt this bad in ages. Feels like a really bad cold with a mix of other symptoms involved.

What I would give for some fuzzy drinks right now.

Lushed out with a fried slice to go with my egg and bacon, tummy is crying like a baby now.

I had what she was having 😌

Spotify has been recommending some indie Aussie artists and they're totally my vibe. Been listening to Alex Lahey, British India, Middle Kids, Charley, Old Mervs etc. I think Old Mervs, British India and Middle Kids might be my favourites!

😎 S A T U R D A Y 😎

Cats busy eating the pirate hat from last week’s window. Flintstone style cat cave under development.

I'm the worst cat parent ever. I wouldn't let him eat a bee. So mean.

oh noes I cannot sleep :(

Anybody know any budget friendly beginner friendly pottery lessons in and around CBD?

My vertigo is back with vengeance and that really is huge reminder to actually do the exercises.

Watching that Larrimah doco, feels like sitting on the verandah listening to my Grandparents crap on about their buttfuck town.

Mm need to do whippersnippering and moving the rest of the bricks for cleanup and paving reuse.

More tea and AHS it is.
