Me: gets home. “Giiiiiibsoooooon”. Silence.
“Giiiibsoooooooon”.
Faint meowing
Look around
Loud, sad meowing
Open the blind
There’s Gibson outside looking very unhappy.
Rescue Gibson from the cruel outdoors. Is somehow both happy to be saved and annoyed I’m carrying her.
Once inside, hassles me for treats in .002 seconds
Note to self: replace the fly screen on the bathroom window.
The culprit in her natural habitat
Lucky gibson didn’t have a run in with the outdoor kitty gang.
I would put my monies on gibson though
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Faaaark
You brute!
Traffic over the westgate was horrible this evening. Three and a half hours to get home. I was very happy to finally get to the toilet after that. The nice bit was that I got to see all the sky pretty today - sunrise over fog, hot air balloons and the lights of Melbourne this morning, sunset with both pretty colours and the light illuminating clouds from below on the way home.

Going go-karting on Sunday with friends for a bit of fun. Not a competition but I plan on winning.
Today I am building bugs
That’s cool! I’ve seen a favourite doll artist make bee/fairy wings with wire and resin like that https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Lf__Z2l5Tks
Edit: Timestamp 23:26
Crepe paper & pva here, but yay 😺
That looks so cool. They would look great in a hanging mobile
and does anyone else remember that craft where you could make shapes in wire loops and dip in some kind of liquid plastic that would dry?
I found a video of it 😊 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQXKtLuDcIQ
Another similar craft I remember is using panty hose fabric in wire loops, you could get use different colours and texture hose of course
I keep meaning to make garden defender moths out of deceased pantyhose. Same basic idea, loop of wire & cover it. 🦋

John Lennon. Great song writer. Alleged wife beater and adulterer.
agree on that one
Hard to watch anything with Kevin Spacey in it (especially because I find it weird his accusers died 👀), but I’ll still watch Se7en because I love Fincher films and that one is in my top 10.
I loathe Taylor Swift. I dislike the lyricism of her songs, they feel so “I’m 14 and this is deep”, she smears her exs in her music while having them sign NDAs, she’s dating a known moron and MAGA supporter, giving up the façade of being a feminist.
And she’s a billionaire. I think billionaires should either be forced to give up their wealth or face execution by stoning.
I don’t loathe Taylor Swift, I just find her lyrics very young teen and/or also mean spirited, they don’t appeal to me at all
on the positive side she’s a good philanthropist and a very good boss
Kanye West - late registration
I really don’t know what to think about him. Is he mentally ill or an arsehole? Does he have a grip on reality or has he been surrounded by manipulators and yes men for so long he no longer knows what’s right or wrong?
All of them
I don’t know but that album got me listening to hip hop when all I mostly listened to was metal.
Arthur C Clarke’s science fiction. A damn fine scientist and science communicator - a thoroughly nasty human being. Love his books, but I don’t want EVER to meet him in real life.
Oh no… That only leaves me with Phillip K Dick :(
there are still so many great classic writers
harry harrison
harlen ellison
william gibson
larry niven
ray bradbury
Include Isaac Asimov in that list.
TIL 😔
Jackie Chan
it was that or be disappeared like Zhao Wei ( who was as famous and influential as, for example, Emma Stone. )
Oprah, she was good in The Color Purple but she is a nut case that has done a lot of harm with dangerous new age ideas and backing pseudo doctors
Why is it that my security camera sometimes fails to miss things like a person walking up to the door but today it has notified me of a crow on the driveway?
Crows are inherently suspicious.
Crows belong to murders
Feeling better today. Back to the norm which works for me.
Have an appointment next week to review what’s happening with sleep and what can be done to deal with it.
The night I have a full nights sleep, I’ll be going out to celebrate the next day lol
Lots of running (driving) around for gifts and things today. Used to be so much more excited about hunting down truly local gifts from Melbourne but idk these days I haven’t got the energy.
Leo’s in Kew is apparently closing down - after the Heidelberg one was shuttered - so that’s a big loss of random imported fancy groceries. Gonna grab my Monsieur Truffe for the last time in a long time I guess…
sigh I came home for a pit stop that lasted 45 minutes but it’s time to get my arse in motion again before traffic becomes deathly
Leo’s in Kew is apparently closing down
Heard that :(
Will become apartments I guess.
I will miss the in-house pizza things they do.
It makes sense to put apartments there but boy the traffic is going to be even more heinous. I guess they were planning on shutting the place down anyway, it’s so dingy and unrenovated, and all the other shops in that block have progressively closed down (first the vegetarian restaurant, then Laurent, and I suppose the $2 shop is next)
I hope this doesn’t mean the excellent (in terms of range) Kew Woolies doesn’t start enshittifying because they have less competition. And that toscanos can up their game.

Damn, we’re losing both Leo’s? When I lived in Heidelberg during the height of the pandemic I’d hit that place up all the time. The bottle shop was really good too
I think Leo’s said 12 months until they close. Probably the time they need for apartment plans and approvals.
another day of resting so my back can get better , just to be safe, I really hate this 😔
in good news I have been reading books all week, I’ve been buying books the past few years I know I want to read so now I can just go to my home library. I’ve read some short books on Australian landscape painters ( am further motivated to start art classes ) and am also dipping into Past Imperfect, History According to the Movies, which is fun, interesting and informative.
and today the weather is beautiful and mild, the sun warm and the sea breeze smells nice 😊
The side of my back is hurting too. Not sure if it’s because I kept my right foot elevated too high in relation to my body.
I’m with you on the rest. !
gentle hugs
any change can cause back pain, injury any where else on the body, new shoes, a new chair, bed, change in habits , anything that can cause a change in posture or gait
and now I am going to the sofa near the big windows to read a book and get some sun
Scenic rail with unlimited drinks and a cute little cheese plate. Worse ways to spend a Thursday afternoon.
The goblin has had her fill of treats.

Quick! Someone lend me some motivation to vacuum!
💀💀💀
that sucks
You can do it! I believe in you!!
I currently have negative motivation credits so sadly none to lend. But I’ll leave this here. Jog on the spot, a few air punches, then show that floor who’s the boss. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=btPJPFnesV4&pp=0gcJCfwAo7VqN5tD
it starts when you cbf to vacuum
here’s a cleaning channel, it’s great motivation
Oh I love this guy! I often use this to keep me company when I clean
just him and his moose
When the Sirena Tuna ad comes on and it’s just me and the dog, I like to serenade him with the tune.
🎶 Just the two of us we can make it if we try. Just the two of us. Just the two of us.
He gives me nothing back.
I haven’t seen the ad but this is me and Melbcat
gmta 🐱
Lol
you need to train him with treats
If I sing loud enough he does
howlcroon with me.
Sirena is the best tuna.
