  • Go do a blood test 5 minutes before opening time. Notice there's already 10 people in front of me. Go get a coffee and croissant. Will fast another day.

    • The regulars are always there early. I've found it pretty easy to fast to 1030 and go then.

      • Got meetings all morning today and probably wouldn't make it without food until the end. I'll try again tomorrow or Friday. It's not urgent, just wanted to knock it on the head today if possible.

    • A blood test is #2 on my To Do List tomorrow. I will be there fairly early and expect I will also run in to a bunch of people, both because before work is convenient and because the earlier you get the test done the earlier you can start eating. Hopefully it won't take too long, but if it is too quick I'll be early for #3 and #4 on the list and will probably end up buying coffee and cake myself just to pass the time.

  • Sauce dins:

    Special shout out to the lovely retiree couple who always waves from their balcony on the way back from the beach and says hello. The world needs more of that. I have no idea who they are but they always say hey which is nice.

  • Still not feeling great, the nausea is hanging around from god knows what, but thankfully the headache appears to have disappeared after a long sleep (got up before all my alarms! Hooray!) I'm going to try sipping a little bit of coconut water throughout the day in the hopes it eases the nausea.

    Didn't get around to re-reading Shades of Grey yesterday, BUT... to my absolute chagrin, even though Red Side Story is supposed to be released today (6 Feb), the ebook is not appearing in the app - then I call and find out that release date is based on American timezones 😑😒😔😩 So 4pm here at the very earliest. Possibly 7pm. I guess I was being naïve and overly hopeful... but still, in the absence of any other information, with digital releases/information isn't it reasonable to think 6 Feb 2024 starts at 12:01 am in the local timezone?

    Oh well, personally that works out well as I can blast through Shades of Grey now while waiting. Wrote a strongly worded feedback message anyway, about being clearer about this on the website/preorder info for next time.

  • My parents keep taking their dog away in the caravan then realising that taking the dog with them sucks because they can't go out anywhere together because they can't leave the dog alone. This leads to me being asked to house/dog sit at their place, which I'll be doing from tomorrow until Monday. Doggy is being driven home from Yarrawonga and dropped off today. Sigh.

  • Grabbed some hummus chips from Aldi to try.

    Inhaled the bag within minutes. They're that good.

  • I watched the movie "Mr Bojangles. I remember watching William Robinson movies growing up, old black and whites with Shirley Temple. Such beautiful movies.

    People used to get up and walk out of his boundary pushing live shows and movies because they were so offended!!

    Fuck 'em.

  • What's the blue P plate mean? I'd google it but I don't wanna.

    • From what I've noticed, it likely started out green but was a cheapo plate that didn't like being under glass in the hot sun all the time and discoloured.

      • Yeah maybe but this was a magnetic or a spit n stick one on the boot and it was like sea blue colour so it was quite vibrant.

        I've seen 2 in the past two weeks but it may have been the same car for all I know.

    • Ok curiosity killed the cat. There is indeed a blue P plate. From what I read and understand it is for learners who are being instructed by parents or carers that may have gotten their licence awhile back so may not be up to date with road rules or something like that.

  • I have eaten far too many cadbury dairy milk peppermint mini easter eggs. And according to their website, Piedmonte's has just reduced the price by one third. Ordinarily I dislike cadbury choc, but I make an exception for peppermint eggses. Just sayin.
