      I’d be down if free. If you don’t feel like hosting we could always do a city meetup for the Westies.

      Edit: We could organise Uber pools home for people in different areas.

    Why the fuck does every Aussie dude have a moustache at the moment?

    It looks fucking hilarious tbh lol

    I thought it was confirmation bias but literally every single aussie dude in the 20-35 age bracket has a moustache.

        Abrasion rash is NOT sexy imo. Although I understand that shaving the upper lip can be awkward, particularly if there’s a lot of hair growth due to raised testosterone levels. Or what they HOPE is raised testosterone levels.

    Today's brunch

    Something a bit different today - Saltbush & mushroom stir-fry, with eggs, fresh salsa and chipolatas.

    The saltbush is growing really strongly and trying to take over the garden so I’m trying it in a few different things. It doesn’t have much taste beyond salty. Bits chopped up through a salad has worked well, cooked it is a lot like spinach but doesn’t cook down as much so I ended up with a much higher volume than I expected.

      I thought it was a bit hot too, but Mr Woof has been out the back sunbaking. He’s never been hugely outdoorsy but I think he’s enjoying having a decent yard, he has started to spend a lot more time outside.

    I was just looking at my passport and saw it mentioned there were things only visible under a uv light and realised I have a blacklight torch so had a look. There is a huge amount of invisible detail in there! It’s a bit tricky to photograph while holding a torch but I’ve managed a rough before & after of one of the pages. If you have a passport and uv light I highly recommend you have a look!

    Middle of the night wakeup continues. I suspect it has something to do with dating. Almost want to cancel date even though I was looking forward to it because maybe it’s not my time if I keep waking up in the middle of the night almost every single night like this.

      Maybe it’s just nerves. Is there anything that might take the pressure off like a shorter date, or a lower key one?

      Best of luck, I’m hoping you either go and have a great time or choose what makes you feel comfortable.

        Thanks, I will try. Anxiety in early dating and just in general has usually meant that something is off, and I feel like I’m ignoring my body signals if I don’t try to figure out why it’s there.

    I’ve slept for hours and wish I could sleep so much more… forced inactivity is driving me nuts but I’m in pain and do need to rest.

    Vet yesterday again for Melbcat’s shots and another weigh in. She’s gained a little back but the same night my poor girl had some of the surviving grass and chucked her anti nausea meds up :( It could be a lot of things that has her tummy unsettled. Her face is healing nicely though.

    Haven’t seen or fed the black cat in a few days. I think he’s around but I don’t tend to see him unless he comes right up near my door. I wish he was more on a schedule or made himself known more often because if food is just left out the birds get it.

      I’ll have a fruit salad with yoghurt, please. I’d also like to ensure it’s completely spice and bumhole free, I know there are some weird food trends going around at the moment. I blame TikTok.
