City adventure today, just cause. Such a stunning day!!
Darwin award day… hot water up a ladder into downpipes.
Good thing I got an email this morning from Ambulance Vic… final notice to renew… good timing.
When I was about 7 or 8yo broke my leg at a park down here at a family thing, didn’t have coverage… and that was an expensive activity.
I think Good Friday is the worst of the christian public holidays. Everything is closed like Christmas but there’s nothing to do. And the thing all non practicing people do is not eat red meat. At least you get to give gifts to people on Christmas.
The best parts of easter are on the other days too, but Good Friday is meant to be the big one
it’s a nice quiet day
Personally I find it a bit of a sad intitement of our society that we equate shops/services being closed with ‘nothing to do’. Are we really that unable to entertain ourselves?
I’ve always thought public holidays are a great thing because it gives us time to do things together - get together for a bbq or a picnic, play board games, have a movie night, whatever you like. Don’t just feed the consumerist machine.
I even mean with events and hanging out with family. It feels like there is more emphasis on family lunch at Christmas even if there’s nothing else to do. Whereas there’s just nothing on good friday
Lets not forget why JC had to die. So you can feast on chocolate and hot cross buns all weekend.
I like good friday for those exact reasons. It’s like the only public holiday left that’s actually a day off for the majority of workers.
My daughter, almost 2, has thrown up a couple of times in the last 2 hours. Gonna be a rsstless night. Hope shes ok.
hugs
do not hesitate to visit emergency if you need to
Today was a good day.
Waiting for my home made parma to cool down, maybe play a game for a bit and chill.
I managed to get through my to-do list. It was a bit of an overloaded day, but I did a big batch of cauliflower soup (15 serves!) a batch of yoghurt, a sandwich loaf and a cheese and herb plait, chopped veggies for snacking on, prepped all meals for the next two days, mowed the front lawn, folded the washing, assembled a small cupboard and did my exercises.
Shopping done.
Haircut next.
Then the usual suspects: cat, music, reading.
Tomorrow night, bar crawl lol
What are you reading?
I picked up a book called The Pearl by Steinbeck. I’ve read it before but I revisit it every few years.
It’s short, but probably the most powerful allegory on capitalism I’ve ever read.
Wow. Will add this to reading list.
omg, another Steinbeck reader 😊
he is pretty much one of my favourite writers, his style has been a great influence on me
he writes as simply as possible using everyday prose to evoke powerful imagery
it’s so hard to do, you have to be precise , every word counts, he rarely uses idioms
it does have a down side, stupid people think that if something is easy to read then it obviously cant have deep meaning or be valuable or powerful,
Beach time.
it’s a lovely day for it 😊
beach 😊
The local community FB group at my old place was fantastic, people giving away quality stuff like the cat autofeeder my feet give thanks for every morning. The group here has people trying to $ell partially used bottles of nail varnish 😹
Perhaps it’s an indicator of local financial stress? I used to find thrown out working or near working printers in my area, not any more.
I thought easter eggs would be near sold out at the local supermarket. Nope, they are desperately try to sell.
we’ve been getting an influx of "Out on nature strip " and it’s like go fuck yourself, I’m not taking your hard rubbish for you.
in some suburbs it really is rubbish, others it’s good stuff
Some family stole my fave table spot (fair enough can’t buy a view even with potato cakes)…
So potat cakes were had a few metres away.
They re-did the foreshore / playground / bbq area at point lonsdale a few years ago and it’s quite nice to see the place used so frequently now.
It’s a beautiful place.
Yesterday my boyfriend and I spent the day together and he cooked for me. Wouldn’t let me help. What did I do to deserve this man?
You being you is reason enough. 🥰

he cooked for me
In the biz this is what we call a green flag.
Absolutely
Cute 😍 what did he make?
I too want to judge silently :)
Second this what did he make?
He made a version of French toast (“simplest meal ever” apparently) and a curry :)
Lawn is mown. Soup is simmering. Yoghurt is straining. Bread is baking. Washing is folded and put away. Vegetables chopped into snackable sticks. Why do I still have lots left to do today?

TW suicide
So apparently this is complicated grief. Currently receiving extra support because of the strong urge to surrender the visitor cat and end my life. And the contamination ocd is going crazy.
Seeking help, waiting on grief counseling, bag packed in case of hospital stay, considering a dose of antidepressants that would aid mood, yada yada.
This sucks.
I’m sorry you’re feeling this way :(( it’s very very shit and it breaks my heart
I know I probably I couldn’t say or do something to help much, but just know that selfishly, I think you are an incredible person and would hate to lose you on here. You deserve a life as wonderful as you are. Hope things start looking up soon. Glad you’re taking some steps that can help <3
Please stay safe.
Thanks Low 🫂
I’ll do my best
Honestly: Thankyou for helping yourself. You’ve given so much help to others and I’m not really sure what to say but I love your presence here and would hate to lose it. Socially awkward of me and I’m not a real huggy person, but I’d offer you one of my awkward A-frame hugs if I was there.
Thanks 🫂
so many hugs
Is there anything we could do? Would you like a visit?
🫂
Thanks, I’m hoping I’ll be ok.
