    There was a dude on the train the other day standing near the door. He had a satchel bag in front of his body when some sort of amber liquid started to pool around the floor.

    I could’ve said something but we just had a lunatic on and I would’ve had to shout YOUR LEAKING because he had ear buds in and I didn’t want to embarrass him because I didn’t know what kinda system he had down there. Pointing wasn’t an option because he was staring at the roof.

    Then he swapped doors, looked down, felt around in his bag and pulled an empty keep cup out. I was relieved. He was not. By this time that trail has made its way down the carriage.

    So guys if there is some wisdom I could pass on to you is this - don’t put all your faith in a keep cup in your bag. They will eventually let you down.

      You’re probably one of very few that has managed to get kitties to use the scratching post. Thing is shredded lol. All my old ones just used the corner of the couch WHEN THE POST WAS RIGHT NEXT TO IT.

        Alfie loves his - it’s right by the door, so he runs to it whenever we get home and stretches up high on it so we can give him good scritchies and head kisses. It’s very sweet.

        Such choices, my friend (influenced by my current listening of the Dracula audio book)…

        No need for the extra charges, my friend.

    My week off has not gone to plan, thank’s to this pesky cold I was gifted with. I haven’t been too sick, but haven’t had the energy (or breathing capacity) to get much done. So I’ve mostly been sitting on the couch doing nothing much, and instead of having the gardening etc. I was planning on doing finished I have achieved nothing and have a pile of chores that have built up that I need to get on top of.

    My body clock got me sleeping in til 6am now lol

    Also, I believe Bottom Racer had a bogong moth infestation recently? Well I’ve been seeing HEAPS on my balcony. Like, not a colony, but at least 10 per day have been fluttering around and then dipping. The weather must be good for them to get down with each other lol

      I’ve only seen odd ones here and there, but I’ve been reporting the sightings to the moth tracker (melb zoo) website. Apparently they want to know if you see them and you send a picture you took. So I’ve been taking pics of moths. It’s kinda fun. For me anyway.

            It’s a meal replacement, not a supplement. So you don’t have to shop for and make dinners. It comes out to about $5 a day .

    I’ve been putting away my grocery delivery and now have an alarming quantity of nuts to mix together. That’s what happens when you buy bulk packs for value but don’t like any of the pre-made mixes so buy individual bags of each nut type. I just counted and there is 3.5 kilos there!

    As well as the groceries I’ve had a fruit & veg box delivered, plus egg powder and chicken stock, and there is dog food delivery coming overnight. I think I’m well and truly set for a while now.
