Melbourne

Melbcat is being so cuddly and cute. She’s not happy that she’s not allowed outside though, she wants the sun. Unfortunately if she absconds I’m not up to chasing her, and fishy fertiliser went on the plants.

The vegie seedlings have spent their first few nights outside. The first night was an accident due to exhaustion but after seeing they didn’t get eaten they are now tentatively outside plants. (This may change when I add the next wave of spinach seeds. Snails seem to smell new seedlings.) Edit: They're getting their second leaves! They probably enjoyed the rain even if it washed out the application of Powerfeed.

The watering can bothers me. Spraying the contents everywhere from a decent hole during use is a problem. I’m deciding whether to complain and get a new one or just patch it with Sugru to avoid plastic waste (which means another order and another delivery fee - and will the patch stay in place?). I wish I could just physically go buy shit myself to avoid having constant issues.

I’ve also frozen up on art. There’s a lot of informal support and resources for learning cartoony or anime style art but I don’t really like that style for myself. I like fine art. But it’s pretty intimidating to want to be that good. Where do you start
