I just realised there are only 4 pays left until the new financial year. How does time pass so quickly? I need to start counting my tax-return eggs so I’m ready when they hatch…

I may have gotten a touch annoyed about the open ended questions on the RACV survey and been a touch cheeky with my answers. But really, why can’t they just ask if I’m happy with the service instead of ‘how likely are you to recommend us’. And then to demand reasons!

I told them I was happy with the service but unlikely to start an RACV fan club. I also told them the telephone operator was a touch robotic, (because I didn’t actually speak to a live person).

Delicious, thank you!

I think your subconscious might have remembered what it was supposed to sound like and orchestrated ruining the old ones for your benefit.

I really haven’t been paying attention at all, have I?

I read that as animated tempura and thought you were being very adventurous.

I don’t know if I can visualise it. I don’t “see a picture” or run a video in my head. Thoughts are a complicated web of interlinked ideas that constantly change as you focus on them. Telling me to visualise something like that brings up lots of ideas which include what giraffes and pandas look like, but also thoughts about how levers work, links to zoos where I have seen giraffes and pandas, the panda toy I had (and lost) as a kid, a whole mess of things that are definitely not visual, And it’s all simultaneous, it’s not like one single thing.

Well, I’m not sure a giraffe could headbut a panda, the angles are all wrong.

I’m not convinced. People don’t mean the same thing when they say “internal monologue” so it’s not that clear whether the differences are that big.

Is an internal monologue like having a narrator talking constantly? Is it actually like hearing an external sound, or is it an awareness of the concept of the sounds and words along with all the other bits of meaning and fragmented thoughts that run through my brain? If you don’t have any sort of internal monologue how do you ever manage to speak or write? Does writing something down feel like someone else has taken control of your hands and leave you surprised when you read it, because you don’t have the idea in your head forming words first?

Lemon-pepper snapper with salad.

I didn’t get the fish fully defrosted so oil spat everywhere while I was cooking. I had to do a full clean of the stovetop, benches and back wall.

I’ve finisished the gardening for the day. The new edger works well and was less strain on my arms than the whipper snipper, as I hoped. It did take a while to do the front even though it’s a small area because there are a lot of edges and things to work around. I ended up doing another run around the back yard too, which gave me more clippings to help weigh down the cardboard designed to smother the grass where the new beds will go. It’s pretty bumpy out there which I’m hoping I’ll be able to improve a bit in time. The grass at the front’s a bit dodgy too - it had turf laid which is very healthy, but because it is on a slope the pieces moved apart a bit and there are ditches between them which need to be filled in. I think I’ll do a topdress in Spring to try and get it a bit neater, and any extra soil can go on the nature strip which is a horrible mess of weeds, including a horrible flat spiky thing I have name the Rosette of Doom. There are also spiky gorse bushes around in a lot of the open land and naturestrips around so I want to try to make sure they don’t get a foothold either.

Groceries are in and put away. The delivery man was very nice and even had a treat for Mr Woof. Mr Woof refused to be distracted from his guard duties by mere food, but went straight for it the moment the delivery man left. Now I need to chop up the chickens into smaller pieces for the freezer, cut a few bits off the beef roast for the same thing, and work out a container to put the giant bag of bread mix into.

I also need to do some tidying in the front yard while the weather’s good. I just bought a new edger attachment for the grass that will hopefully be a bit neater and easier than the whipper snipper.

I assume C-Suite is the Cat? My Back to Bed ecommerce strategy is an online grocery delivery that’s coming soon, so I do my shopping and nap simultaneously. The cat is fully on board after I provided a strategic breakfast and snack option.

Edit: Damn, I got buy in from the C-Suite, but not the D-Suite. B2B strategy has failed and I’m off to take Mr Woof for a walk in the lovely sunshine instead. C-Suite’s implimented her own B2B strategy and is taking a nap in the window hammock.

I keep my buttons in multiple jars instead of just one, it helps to confuse the hobgoblins and keep the buttons safe.

I’ve had mulch that had bits of plastic and glass in it too.

Both wheels went over it 🤢

I just had a suicidal rabbit throw itself under my wheels on the way to work.
