Anyone at a loose end for what to do this weekend? There is a spud festival happening in Trentham!

So it's the cats bed and I get to use it sometimes. Thankfully I lure her over to that white doona with treats and she snuggles under it during the night.

Freshly groomed doggo always goes crazy...

Music so loud. Turkish wedding. Entrees fish 👍

I'm off to this wedding reception soon and I'm hoping for main meal to be beef.🤞

Happy Star Wars day! 🌠

@Seagoon_ Morning everyone.

So I still have a nose that alternates between being blocked and runny.

Yet I'm feeling less hungover than last week?

Sleeping in has worked wonders ☺️

It appears that drunk me not only did a load of washing last night, but also put it into the dryer too!

Banging out some fall out boy. Life was so simple. Thx for the memories

Main course.: lamb shank mother fuckers. Bingo. Drinking Coronas. 👍

I have been watching various movies, readings and videos of Beowulf and about Beowulf. ( I read the book a long time ago, before Heaney's translation ) Here are some.

Beowulf by Robert Zemeckis. Whyyyyyyy. It could have been awesome but it looked like crap. 2 hobbits

Beowulf , documentary by Michael Woods, 4 hobbits

History documentary by some academic poetry chap, 3 hobbits

Beowulf 1998 animation with Derek Jacobi, 3 hobbits

The Hobbit , for following Tolkein’s texts on Beowulf and the book The Hobbit and for general awesomeness in heroic story telling, 6 out 5 hobbits. I love it even more now,

Ok so in my dream last night I had an epiphany. Countdown Scrabble.

In these rules, each round someone has the job of picking how many consonants and vowels.

Then everyone has a time to work out the highest scoring word on the board.

Whoever finds the highest scoring gets the points and places the word down.

Any unused tiles go back in the box and used again.

I haven't been practicing. I've been feeling sick all the time, too depressed to stick with anything, and any good art I post would just get scraped for AI.

Edit: I'm slowly sipping some tea and moving over to shapes because trying to shade lightly and evenly with cross hatched ink is driving me spare

Solid sleep in till 10:15am. What a whirlwind week it's been. I don't know that I can handle full time hours for long, but for now I gotta push on with it and recharge the coffers.

I can't complain though, I've had some really lovely social interactions - I'm absolutely spent right now, but I think a lot of it is just lack of practice after years of mostly remote work and latterly not working full time. Not used to being seen, being accountable. Once I rebuild those muscles it'll be easier.

I'll have an option of going down to 4 days a week total in a couple of months so that'll be a relief.

Got a heap of gardening done today, so I’m feeling very accomplished. Green bin full, and several tubs full lined up ready to go. Now a friend is over and we’re watching ‘Extraordinary Attorney Woo’ at her suggestion. Perfect way to spend a Saturday!

Today was a really high pain day. I'm getting so damn sick of this.

There is a professional who has suspicions about what might be wrong but after so long I kind of don't dare to hope.

Been rushing around all day and in grumps mood but sky pretty at the moment; so I’m taking a breather to appreciate the beauty. It’s the simple things sometimes.

Apparently there was another knife incident in a shopping centre yesterday. This time at Watergardens

I can haz sads… I can no longer eat the truffle gratin from Aldi as it has started setting off my gut. Boo.

That cult of the lamb again is insanely addictive. I'm tending to my cultists and they are high maintenance!

Of course no one deserves to be murdered, but why would you travel in remote parts of northern Mexico riddled with drug cartel? It's just not smart.

I really don't think the surfing is worth it to put yourself in that kind of danger.

I have a pressing life admin thing to do (start booking accom and itinerary for a long trip with friends booked ages ago that I have a separate kitty of money for, it's happening in like two weeks). I still haven't started and it's giving me a bit of anxiety - meant to do it last week but fell sick. But I'm really enjoying just relaxing and recharging today. Letting my body rest and my mind wander, transitioning back into who I am and what I like. Did some small chores but otherwise no big responsibilities. I think tomorrow I'll be in a much better headspace to look up what I want to do - operating out of genuine passion and interest not just tired obligation. 😄

Unsurprisingly I have caught Boyo’s snotty crud. House is full of eucalyptus steam but can’t smell it. Cats displeased.

I have the crud. Ergh.

Still have to babysit, as too short notice to pull out. Ergh

Finally figured out my Kodi add-on so watching some premier league tonight.

Anime theme songs: The power of my blow has no expense 😹😹😹

If you're into comics, and don't have an issue "sailing the high seas", getcomics.org is the best. Also libgen.is for ebooks.

Enjoy :)
