It’s actually Palm Sunday but I’d like to change it to Chicken Parma Sunday instead. 🐓

    Just watched another Brazilian movie with Leandro Hassam, the funny guy. It was so loud and chaotic I found it exhausting …lol. But I do love watching any South American movie or tv series. All genres. Even telenovelas. I haven’t seen one show yet where the depiction of characters or writing was bad. Except maybe The Chosen, that was a copy of Green Frontier but Green Frontier was pretty much incredible and makes everything similar look amateurish.

    Such a lovely day today. Just taking it easy and doing a few easy and necessary chores. 🌞😊

    We’re back after an anti-nausea shot and painkillers. The alternative was to hospitalise her which would be expensive and I don’t think she needs it. I’m really hoping I have enough energy left in the tank to manage a visit to the regular vet this week.

    I seem to be a bit of a cat magnet lately. We went past an orange one that didn’t run away… I was a bit concerned about his eyes, skinniness and rapid breathing but he got up and gave me a sniff so seemed alright. Then the black cat was outside warming his/her bum on the water tank.

    Not too bad a day today. I faffed my speech but eh, it was flipped at the last minute so I can now see it wasn’t really on me. Plus first speech and all that. I was summoned onto the stage with a bunch of other “young consultants” as they call us and had to accept a scroll and a purple monkey, although I didn’t need to speak (thank goodness) then we left.

    We went down to Belair…

    Then up to Gawler…

    And then into the central Adelaide station…

    Then we went to this cool little yank burger joint in the city, coincidentally called “yankee burgers”…

    Although on the whole I’ve found Adelaide people to be more respectful and quiet than Melbourne, drunk people don’t really care about norms and social expectations, so there was some gronk in a noisy red Holden and blaring music who was looping 3 blocks for about an hour, and all the drunkies yelling at each other below.

    Then we went to Glenelg and did a Ferris wheel ride, apparently the last one of the night before they closed…

    And yeah, I definitely get st Kilda vines from glenelgy, except I do not like st Kilda do I’m gonna say glensy is better

    One more sleep and then I’ll come back to the dark side (only quarter joking). See you soon, Melbourne heads!

        It has been an overall good trip, although I’m really looking forward to having buses that actually go where I want them to go, and sleeping in my own bed!

      Also, apparently despite a few unsavoury antics over the last few days, the Vic group was actually really well behaved. There’s been a shit ton of rumours, but on confirmed behaviour, we haven’t actually done anything. It’s been the other states running amok. It’s pretty much become state vs state. One of our group was even practically exiled for buying into the rumours. I am really happy to go home and not have any more drama though! Gossip and stupid drama is a solid 85% of the reason I despise school. At least I’ll have a clean room though I guess

      Sorry I haven’t been very present for you guys recently - I’ve been trying to keep up on what’s happening with everyone, but I haven’t replied much

    I’ve driven Kia’s, Mazda’s, and Toyota’s, and all of them have a strange issue: whenever inside my apartment complex parking area, the driver controlled power windows either don’t work at all, or work unreliably. While everywhere else, it works perfectly.

      I need my manzano to hurry up and do its thing because otherwise I suspect it’ll be holding onto big green chillis through all of winter.

        I’ve got about 50 manzano chilis still growing. I just want them to get big, they can ripen on a window sill

          Oh I didn’t realise they could ripen off the plant! That could be helpful. Last year mine just stayed resolutely green for months despite full sun

    I don’t know why I cared enough to do this but I figured out how to split my mp3 audiobook out into chapters then merge them back together into a proper audiobook format which supports chapters. Now it looks like the real deal in the app! Literally does not change anything about the way I listen to it. The app already remembers where you left off etc but now I have ✨ CHAPTERS! ✨

    I made fried rice on my teppanyaki plate that I’ve had for about 20 years but never used it until now. The rice was fantastic. The only problem was the bacon trying to escape. I have an oily clean up now.

    Need to find my big fat red pen and go for a second walk. Local church is advertising “stripping of the alter” 🙄

        I think it’s a complicated way of saying Spring cleaning I must wash the tablecloth, in Northern Hemisphere.

          My mind instantly went down the path of something obscure and esoteric, like stripping one’s psyche of unworldly thoughts. Have been cleaning today, have maybe had too much exposure to chemicals, lol

    Well, I was an idiot. Forgot about the GP and got stuck on Lygon. Thank goodness it didn’t take too long.

    Still a snot block. If I don’t kick it this week, might be anti-biotics for me. I might not have had them since I was a teen?

    Here’s to hoping I don’t have to…

    Everyone in my house is sick to a degree and coughing. The kids aren’t too bad. But Mr P (the worst hit) has taken to wandering out to the kitchen, forgetting why he’s there and coughing wetly all over the place. I’ve taken to hovering around there so I can chase him out lol. If you’re sick and you need something, ask! I’m taking my favourite herbal sachet things (Sido Muncul Tolak Angin Flu in the blue packet) as a preventative (works for me) but nobody else likes them. Admittedly they are pretty full on, but I like that sort of thing.

    In other news I made waffles.

    I’m using up the last of my tomato harvest to make soup. The recipe is made up as I go, and at the moment it’s oven roasted tomatoes, garlic and onion, simmering away with some vegie stock from the freezer and a bit of bacon for pizzaz. I have no idea what it’s going to end up like but it smells sensational.

      Fully approve of oven roasting the toms before soupifying them. They lose water and the flavour intensifies amazingly. When can I come over and do some quality control testing ???
