Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
Just noticed there is a Bot Blocker on the aussie.zone registration page. Neat.
For those still so inclined to check any sniffles for COVID, Melbourne city council is handing out boxes and boxes of free RATs that are set to expire in August. Just go to the customer service office (not the visitor info centre) and they'll sort you out. Better they get used than don't.
I am so goddamn done with today. I’m going to eat my chicken nugs and my mash and my peas and my gravy….and then I’m going to bed
Went to one of the RISING festival events last night, the shadow spirit. Really enjoyed it and there were a lot of interesting works on display. Some of the works are a lot better than some I saw at the Dark Mofo this year
Unconsciously coloured coordinated my outfit today lol. Usually I’m that oddball but grabbing clothes to wear in this wimdy day, I just so happened to pick black and gray and I’m 😆
Lunch note theme for this week was space.
Friday will be fantasy day.

Thanks to the DT for microwave potato hype; this tip meant the dinner I made for friends tonight was on time (and delicious) 🖤
I found the place that makes Sandos and now I’m salivating so much I regret not wearing a dark shirt today.
Decided not to waste the day and took mini peelers to Broadmeadows shopping centre. Aah, suburban shopping centre food court Asian food, how I have missed you! I know some people hate it but it's like the bogan Chinese food of my childhood and I have a soft spot for it when it's tasty. Mmm black bean beef 😋 Got myself a Dr Strange tshirt as well!
It is certainly a cold day today to remind us it is winter solstice. A good day for warm food and lots of extra layers I think!
Congee in the slow cooker as we speak. 🤤
I've been away overnight so the heater has not been on for a while, came home to 12 degrees inside. 🥶
Miss Meow is making up for lost time, demanded lunch & and has now claimed my lap.
