    OMG Season 4 of Snowpiercer started airing over a month ago??? I thought it was starting in September…

    I have some binge watching to do. So glad it was uncancelled

    In related news: I’m going to be unreachable for the next ~7 hours. Who needs dinner? I need Snowpiercer.

    I am now working on the metal ferrules of the cabinet legs. They were so rusty. Work on the big chairs continues.

      3 different grade sandpapers used to remove rust and some rust preventer applied, will repeat the process tomorrow so it’s done as well as I can. One leg is banged up tho. Then will apply some clear varnish.

      Finish cleaning the glass and the rest of the wood , I think it was stored in a garage and the soot and oil is hard to remove. I’ve unpacked the glass shelves and cleaning them up too.

      I’ve started sorting my shell collection ready to put on display. Big shells on the bottom and smaller up high. If there is room I’ll put some mineral specimens in too.

      And for the chairs, so many pieces of velvet and tapestry have been measured and cut ready to be made into matching scatter cushions. 🙂

    Laurent closes in 20 mins… do I go… no, I’ll make it a Sunday morning treat. So that it gets me out of the house. Just not feeling it today.

    Vacuumed the house after like 3 weeks (gross ,I know) and that’s about all I want to do for the day. I did the most urgent thing and that’s good enough. zzzzz

        what!! You mean the inner suburbs have to stop subsidising the outer suburbs!!

        Maybe it would put pressure on developers to build infrastructure before they sell. But why stop the dishonest money grubbing habit of decades, eh.

    Bleh. My hair hit my waist or past it and I really couldn’t be bothered with the hairdresser so while it was still wet from washing I just cut like 4-5 inches off to lose some length and neatened it up.

    I’ve tried a more straight cut this time. I don’t have a second mirror to check whether it’s even but I’ve been keeping it clipped up a lot anyway.

    I just don’t care anymore. I’m tired and literally just trying to survive.

      I cut my own hair as well, have done for years, so you’re not alone. Hairdressers are expensive and I got tired of being asked personal questions about my private life but not being listened to when I told them what I wanted them to do with my hair. I do the trick where you make a ponytail at the front of your hair about as far down as you want your fringe to end and then cut it there, there are YouTube videos and how to videos and articles on it. It’s good enough for me, I wear a hair covering with my hair tied up underneath for work anyway 5 days a week. I don’t really care about how it looks, I’ve never been blessed with lovely hair anyway.

        Yeah, the personal questions and being in your space touching you… not a fan

        Normally I ponytail at the top of my head, trim a few inches off the end and then snip vertically for feathered layers but it doesn’t always come out exactly the way I want and can be fussy. So I thought I’d try the straight cut method I’ve been curious about, that if done well can let me go shorter overall.

      My hair seems to reach a natural stopping point at about my waist so I just ignore it entirely, other than tying it into a ponytail during the day. I tried the buzzcut route for a while, which is a little bit less effort each day but more hassle overall having to trim it every few weeks. It would be nice if you could just turn the hair growth setting on and off as required, this constant maintenance option sucks.

    Had a lovely night out last night with a new group - great group, we all want to get together again.
    Also, after a little throw up last night, I think after eating some of Zooki’s leftovers, Sammi not only got up for breakfast scarfed down a saucer of food and sampled a little more. She’s been off her food since the ultrasound so a huge relief…

    To market, to market, to buy a fat pig. Only not a pig just some liquid nails and barkeepers friend. Someone put a lovely 19th century copper wash ewer out on the nature strip. Just needs the base re-attached more securely and a bit of polishing. Holds about an ordinary bucketful so will come in very useful as well as beautiful.
    And the pouring handle is a lion’s head, and there are gorgeous reinforcing bits at the sides with lion’s heads on them.

    the pic doesn’t do it justice

    Went for a sneaky run in work hours yesterday, which means I don’t feel that guilty about not going this morning - so currently enjoying a coffee. Full month off due to being clumsy… Feels good to be back out there.
