Melbourne

It was a lovely afternoon for gardening. I did some weeding in the front yard and divided up the jeruselum artichokes. I was thinking I would just spread them out a bit and not eat much this year because I only planted a few small pieces last year, but they are really prolific - I ended up with a box full to eat! I also cut a couple of fennel bulbs which are growing really well this year.

4 degrees? What do? Why? I'm not built for this climate 😦

I was a bit late getting to the food cupboard this evening and it was picked clean of everything except some spring onions. Which is actually pretty good news, both because onions are the main thing I need more of right now and because it means all the jeruselum artichokes I took up this afternoon are gone.

Finally braved the cold to open the gates and it's still bloody foggy out there.
In other news, the cats now love Coles Purr cat food. In fact Zooki loves it so much she shoved Sammi out of the way and helped herself from her plate. Usually it's the other way around...

Sometimes I love looking up where a period piece was filmed just because it's hilarious to see how unremote a location is or how surrounded by modern amenities it is. I mean obviously things aren't nessascarily going to be period accurate, but seeing a shopping centre or a main road is right round the corner feels so silly.

So we've switched over to a better Internet provider than Optus. But for some reason some websites work and some don't. Like YouTube is fine, but Mastodon just doesn't want to work. Twitter kind of works, but like other streaming services don't work. It's very weird. I'm getting better downloads and uploads than I have previously, but this is so weird

Sitting here under two layers of blanket with an electric hot water bottle under keeping me nice and warm while I watch The Rookie.

Only thing missing is some snacks.

I'm making bread from scratch. I'm scared and excited all at the same time.

Online Orders 1 Week Delivery Challenge update: order 2 of 4 has arrived today.

This is the one which came from South Australia too, Auspost are killing it! My 2 remaining orders are from Catch so we'll see how that goes. I know one of them is being shipped by a 3rd party not Catch themselves.

I'm a little annoyed.. when I booked my US flights I wasn't able to select a seat, just set a preference for Window or Aisle. At some point between then and now, they enabled to ability to select seats without telling me and other people have taken all ones I would have chosen. I only had the choice of these 2 seats (screenshot of plane seat map):

So I've naturally picked the aisle because what maniac wouldn't?

I still can't select a seat for the return flight but I'll just have to keep checking until I can so I don't get shafted with a middle seat or something.

I didn't hear anything 🤷‍♀️

Do dodgy plumbers make kitchen sink pipes glued together so you have to call them and pay them more money? Sus. I'm renting but just wanted to fix it myself so no one has to intrude in my space :(
