Hrmm 🤔

Ok. Now I have sufficiently Christmased and new yeared and holidayed I think it's time to climb myself up on the old wagon. Dry January and restart some better food choices including some meal prep so the Thursday night CBFs don't derail me.

Lotsa lobsters at the beach today.

You might have good legs / boobs / pecs / buns of steel but the sun will ultimately win.

Bedroom has been moved to the larger room.

Cat is freaked out (super doesn't like change).

Headache is peaking. Have a great night im going to bed ❤️

Apricot processing is well under way. A couple of kilo being chopped to go in the freezer (I use them in breakfast oats) and have 19 small jars of chopped apricots in syrup in the waterbath now, plus lots of leftove apricotty syrup. I have four kg in the fridge which I will make into jam (starting tomorrow) and the six best apricots got diverted for fresh eating. They are really good quality apricots, just a little bit of marking on the skin. They are also really big for apricots, a bit over 100g each.

Aussies are from the future, mate.

I ended up going to a Good Guys and found a hectic Panasonic 4 in 1 microwave/oven/griller/steamer on the clearance table as an ex display for almost half price. It has all these extra features and is still a flatbed microwave.

I just need to figure out how we're going to use all these extra settings, if we do at all. How do you get your head around having the ability to grill and microwave something at the same time?

And then the next challenge is getting the rest of the house to learn how to use it

I don't think the piggies like the thunder. I went in there and there was no sign of them even though I called out "you hoo. It's me, the food lady". Nothing I thought shit they've scaled the perimeter. Have a quick look around then I spotted movement in their cardboard house. Oblivious lives upstairs and Fatty lives downstairs.

Realised that despite spruiking Super Mario Galaxy as one of my favourite games, I couldn't be sure if I'd played #2 or not. Trundled out to buy it and am already engrossed. Stopped to go get groceries, but otherwise if you need me, I'll be on my Switch...

Migraine. But I'm strongly considering moving my bedroom to the larger room.

Seems to be cooler despite being at the back of the house, furthest away from the aircon in the loungeroom.

Another part of spring cleaning down. The studio.

Rest, neurofen then move the bedroom over.

So apparently substack want me to verify my age with a face scan/image and government ID info. Oh hells no.... I was only trying to log in to delete my account anyway. I'm still getting emails with posts in them so this is not about protection. Grrr. And I can't seem to contact a human.

So a bit of a PSA I guess.

Our microwave has finally stopped working. It looks like it has rusted through at a couple of points in the roof which is probably what's done it. A cast iron crepe pan was put on top of it as well, so having a big magnetic thing on top probably didn't help.

I'm hoping as long as I don't buy the cheapest microwave as a replacement it should be fine.

Time to pack up the christmas, tidy up and set my art work table. 😊

::: spoiler spoiler So exhausted and in so much pain 🫩 :::

I wish I had a safe fully enclosed yard with somewhere to suspend a hammock. Melbcat could hang out and snooze while I did the same

Are they sure about no rain? I see storm looking clouds in the distance.

And as I was typing this, it started to rain

Massively productive Saturday...mainly cause I forgot it was Saturday.

Bloke at the gym this morning was kind of hitting/flirting with my missus when I was elsewhere.

I walked up and gave her a hug and a kiss (and butt squeeze)...dude nearly shat himself.

He actually apologized and we had laugh.

oh dear, here we go again

Thanks Thorn

Got recommended a 4 hour retrospective on YT of some random tiktok woman who prolly has AI psychosis and is in love with her psychiatrist. Out of all the algorithms, the most tolerable to me is YT algorithms.

Big Cyberpunk vibes from the term AI psychosis lol

First Parkrun for the year, and first one in a while due to injury/motivation levels. Still hard. Enjoyed it though.

Morning. I’m probably going to spend most of today playing board games

here's the puzzle I did, it was bloody finicky

gdi I cannot believe I lost the lemongeddon recipe. AGAIN

I saw a new Adventure Time came out at some point, that’s cool. No streaming services so just watching clips.

::: spoiler spoiler But I’m seeing a lot of negativity about two characters getting together, some fairly extreme statements are being made and people are freaking out saying ‘what if a child saw this?’. And it’s like… did these people even watch the original show 🤨 :::
