good night everyone, sweet dreams 😘
Long nap and feeling human again
Up for a few chores and dinner
Leonard Cohen playingMy body clock is convinced it’s like, nine thirty. It is not
rain 🙂
I’m not used to such frequent rain, Carlton is in a rain shadow and very dry
I find it hilarious that the things people viewed as insecurities like blushing and undereye circles, are now being more romanticised. When I was in school, people would make fun of me for blushing, and now those same people are putting a fuck ton of blush on their face. Or with undereye circles, they’re leaving a bit unconcealed so they can have an “in-built smokey eye”
Beauty trends are so freaking dumb. 😍
The nose make up thing at the moment is really odd. I see it on insta all the time.
If done lightly it kinda looks cool, but yeah it’s weird.
I’m not really on any of the ‘hip’ socials. Do you mind if I ask what the ‘nose makeup’ trend is?
To make matters worse: blokes are totally oblivious to it all. I wouldn’t notice or care what makeup you had on (or didn’t) so long as you are happy.
Not as nuts a tooth blackening or painting blue veins on your décolletage
Taking a little arsenic to look pale.
Let’s not forget painting nails with radium.
Democracy research complete. I have written Nutter next to rather many names. Well meaning ones in several cases but full of crunchy crazies nonetheless. Bring on sausage time!
Ooh! Thanks for reminding me. The school was calling for sausage volunteers on Saturday and I forgot to reply.
There are some interesting candidates out there
There sure are. The guy who is openly running as a joke would get numbered way above many of them.

I think I might vote above the line this year
just too hard to pick which fascist should go last
I do under the line, but stop when I get to the right wing crazies. I have numbered every box before when that was still required, and trying to rank those parties by degrees of fascism is definitely a challenge. I’m very happy to be able to stop at 12.
I was planning below but stopping when there cease being reasonable options.
Local I have to pick a last from Family First or One Nation. Yuck!
Really happy about the Canadian election results. Anti-Trump and pro democracy won. 🙂
Seeing headlines saying the Liberals won has been a bit of a head spin though
Me too!🙂
I am holding out big hopes for the USA mid terms
the republicans might get a huge loss
and we here might be influenced by anti-trump sentiment too
Agreed. I feel that Trumpism has the conservative extremists and Nazis of the world seeing how far they can lean into it too. Need to send a very strong and solid message that we will not tolerate that shit here.
Damn straight!!!
or anywhere
The twins.
On the unrelated: yep, recent DiDi trip I somehow ended up from Collingwood on the eastern freeway heading east, I live in the west. I was quite drunk but not enough to realise he was going away from the destination.

More good news on the rental front: the agent takes direct deposit rather than insisting on you using an app that stops you from automating the payments unless you pay extra fees.
Update from midair…
They give out ice cream. I’m currently holding a coconut-mango Magnum
Which airline are you flying with?! Yummo!
Qantas did me a solid
Had planned to do a bit of garden work this afternoon, bit of leaf sweeping and fill up the green bin. It started to drizzle as soon as I started, so I went inside and made a coffee. I will obey the will of the universe and have an indoors afternoon instead.
I have been approved for a home! I shall not after all be homeless.
It is in a new estate, so comes with the standard building noises during the day I have become used to, but should not have the regular demolition sounds. There is a dishwasher. There is heating. There is cooling. There is a walk in pantry and double glazing! Now I have to order a dog door insert for Mr Woof, organise the removalists, and figure out what goes where.
I guess this means I’m officially no longer a Melbournian, I am an official Ballaratian. Or is it a Ballaratbag?
Congrats 🎉
Congrats! That’s great news! There’s good gallery action there if you like that stuff
Hurrah! Enjoy the serenity of the Rat. I am well acquainted with some of the new developments around Delacombe (E: specifically winter valley!). Quite affordable for the space and facilities as a rental. Will it be a long commute to all your usual things though?
16 minute commute to work, which is the main reason I leave home. Most everything else will be a similar distance or closer. I will be much closer to cows and forests.
That’s awesome . 🙂
And it’s Ballaarcunian. 👍
Yay! You’ll need that heating, Ballarat nights are nippy.
And I’m moving just in time for winter. Into the suburb of Winter Valley. ❄️🧊🥶
The garage connected to the house will also be very good for that, less ice scraping from the windshield.
Congrats!! Yay!! And definitely Ballaratbag (as a former Bendigonian)
OK, I’m late to this party, but I thought Ballaratbag only applied if you live in Wendouree. Or has that vibe expanded with new settlement/immigration. I last lived there in the late 70s, so my info could well be out of date.
Congrats! Sounds like it will be a comfortable place.
Congrats!!!
I’d love to move out that way.
Hopefully I can get fully remote by the end of the year.
aim higher. Get a place in nambucca heads for like 600k and live like a freakin king!
Ballaratatouille

Have infection in hand. Taken antibiotics yesterday and today. Am completely wiped out :(
Erin Patterson’s trial begins today, I think it’ll be really interesting to hear how it turns out, what a wild story it’s been.
I find it so crazy that she (allegedly) thought it would work, and that no one would consider her suspicious
Is this the mushroom lady?
Alleged mushroom lady.
Yeah, that’s the one!
