Gibson’s welcome home day is today, and the ten years sobriety.
A good combo lol.
Just chilling today, weekend coming up will nice ❤️
Congratulations! Sounds like an occasion for a cake. Or to buy yourself something nice.
Thank you :)
And I reckon you’re on the money lol
urge to zzzzz
ended up purchasing that campervan over the weekend. Gotta wait a couple of weeks to pick her up cause they towing folks have a bit of a backlog, then will probably empty it, clean it all up check for anything that needs work maybe give it a service and we pick a destination and give it a try!
If you like any good camping spots that work for caravans/campervans let me know. I cant keep going to tidal river all the time.
Coopers Creek.
Avoid at all costs.
Im seeing mixed things about caravans and campers. A few people suggestion it should be tent only. How do you find it?
Full of inconsiderate dickheads quite frankly.
I was with a group of seven, we got there early and in winter. A couple of guys came to ask us for some weed and we said no. It was fine.
Hell yeah!!!
There’s a super secret spot at the end of swan bay. No amenities, probably illegal but people do it anyway. Sun rises over the water which is a nice view.
Closer to home - O’Brien’s Crossing.
Maybe try some spots along the Murray River. I’m thinking Barmah (red gums) and maybe bits of Hattah-Kulkyne NP. Great birdwatching at both. Bearing in mind that the cold weather isnt too far away now.
hoping to build to that yeah. Starting the wife off with some more “glamping” locations. Probs ensuite sites with power (I know I know, hardly even camping!) but shes been burnt by the proms weather the last couple of times we’ve gone.
Nelson at Glenelg River has a great caravan camping ground.
It’s a long way tho.
Right on. Bimbi Park in the Otways is great.
Turton’s Creek, Bear Gully. I’ll think of more later!
My neighbour, whom I whinge about regularly, has spent the last week ripping up the grass from his nature strips (each side of the his driveway) and swapping it.
Basically the grass that was on the left is now on the right and vice versa.
In fairness, he used fertilizer, reseeded and all that, but it looks like shite.
Not sure what he’s trying accomplish.
It’s the first step in relocating to the mirror universe? If so, I just may be on board with this…
The end result is something worse than he started off with. Perhaps he knows something we don’t.
How odd.
Indeed he is.
My neighbour has a patchwork fence. This morning I heard banging so he’s probably added to it. Paling, corrugated iron, scraps of wood. I might go out later and take a pic cos it’s a work of art.
Some people just like doing shit for the sake of doing it I guess.
10hr day with more urgent desktop stuff to do this evening, but pretty good day out even though I was in a really foul mood in the am after realising either I or someone else fucked up majorly and I started in the wrong location wasting a previous few hours. all good now. I got to see these little cuties too which was lovely.
House looks like a dump, I have a full day out tomorrow plus a bday to go to in the evening, REA comes for inspection on Wed am… guess I’ll try to tidy as much as I can now and do some frentic cleaning early Wed morning.
Prolly should’ve done it on the weekend but oh well!
New band audition Friday!
Goodnight all ❤️
She is definitely plotting something!
We ran out of her favourite cat food so she had to slum it with a cheaper one.
I’m a dead man…
Gibsons got some special treats and is sitting in her cat tree.
I’m on the couch with a fancy pizza and my new favourite drink, gatorade.
Peaceful and daggy.
Perfection.
I experimented making a cola drink tonight. Yesterday I had to make a thing called browning syrup for it, because it’s hard to buy Parisian essence these days, (and Parisian essence these days is just colour 150). Today I made the actual cola syrup and it’s cooling and developing in my fridge. I always thought cola was made out of cola nut, and maybe it once was, but according to wiki it’s made of lots of different things like citrus peels, star anise, cinnamon, vanilla, cardamon and other spices. Huh, TIL. The Minipeelers were keen for me to make Nuka Cola from the Fallout Cookbook Elder got for his birthday. Surprisingly it tastes like cola! Plus I saw the soda stream pepsi syrup at the stupormarket which had a horrific amount of numbered additives. Like, is it even food at this point. And 1.25 litre coke varieties were $4, surely they’re taking the piss at this point! So I made my syrup and couldn’t resist trying it early… you pour it in a glass and top it up with fizzy soda water. We were all pretty amazed. Can’t wait to try it tomorrow with the flavour all finished developing.
How brilliant. I never would have thought this could be made at home, I just assumed the flavour was artificially made. I’ll have to look up some recipes out of curiosity!
That’s so cool. I’ve heard about Open Cola and wanted to make it without caffeine or artificial sweeteners but it seems like a bit of an undertaking!
Let us know how it is
When the day dawns we depart for Ikea. Hopefully the non weekend timing makes this a less earsplitting experience than otherwise. Also reading up on removing yuccas, WTF have we gotten into?!?! 🤯
Wear eye and arm protection against the yuccas. Best approach is to trim the leaves and then cut the stalks. Patience is the key.
Going to need a chainsaw for the big ones I suspect. Will be hunting pups for years.
Yeah, not a chainsaw. I used a reciprocal saw with a pruning blade.
Second a Recipo. Tough little buggers can take out almost anything.
The stalks and leaves are pretty fibrous. I ended up using a handsaw cause the fibres got tangled in the chain.
It’s a fairly soft plant, so doesn’t need a lot of elbow grease for manual sawing.
Is a tad beyond a hand saw… I have no bananas so cucumber for scale
Yeah, no kidding. Damn.
Godspeed.
OK.
I have bought some fancy sheets.
Now for the nap.
When I went looking at houses in Seaholme I went to the beach too and found some pieces of coral. Seems there are big reefs off the rocks close by. Might be nice to go out and take a look one day. 🙂
here’s the bits I found, it’s a type of pavement coral, common name Green Coral.
Watch out for certain 🔵💍🐙 ! When I was a kid growing up near there they were often seen in those rocky bits there, don’t know about these days though.
😧
I’ll be careful.
Bamboo cotton sheets.
I feel like I have to have shower before I have a nap lol
Power is out here inner east I can’t see shit
As long as you’re seated it should still go in the bowl
It’s the should that haunts me
Not the “as long as you’re seated”?
hey we all gotta stretch our legs a lil’ on long haul flights. But to miss from that distance…
ETA for afternoon tea: 15 mins. Iced fruit bun, highly anticipated yummyness.
Edit: yumminess aquired.
Also fake tax time.
Make sure you sing the dango song every time if it’s a thing in this game as well
No canteen yet or food.
Might have to finish a couple of quests before I get access to it.
My finger had an intimate argument with some bluestone / basalt yesterday whilst moving it. Feeling that today.
Spoke about gravity, savlon and poor judgement. Basalt won.
do you have someone to kiss it better?
Unfortunately finger is single atm :( its other four friends are trying to avoid the same fate which I respect.
