Today sucked for pain but I saw a skink in my house. Which was interesting. I’m glad the Melbaby didn’t see it because even at her age she is a fantastic hunter.
No idea how it got in. Considered catching/shooing him out to avoid a brutal murder by cat, but didn’t want to traumatise him or make him drop his tail. So I didn’t get any closer. Hoping he finds his way safely out.
Alrighty. One more sleep to the gig!
Now the excitement is building up 🎶🎸
8:30pm was it?
Yep! At the Lyrebird lounge :)
I hate this humidity too - but my plants are loving it. Last autumn I hacked my pot bound ginger lily into 5 pieces and planted each one in separate pots. This morning all 5 have put out new shoots as its finally warm enough and wet enough for it.
I hate it as well. Hope it doesn’t get trapped inside.
Makes me feel yucky.
Night gang again 😟
Wasted an hour this morning not being able to find my keys. Turns out they’d fallen into a boot. Well there goes my prep time for today’s meeting…
💡
So I tried Five Guys last night
Fries = legit, still had a really nice texture even after a journey in the front of my scooter in the rain. Massive serving. There’s a station at the back of the ordering line where you can fill your own tubs of ketchup, mayo and malt vinegar, so your chips get sauces and stuff entirely to your liking
Burger = got a cheeseburger. Thought it was decent; probably not worth as much as it actually cost, but I did like being able to customise it fully for no extra charge.
Shake = basic vanilla for testing purposes, was thicc
I wouldn’t go out of my way to go to Five Guys again, but if you’re in the area it’s pretty solid fast food
More deets on the shake? Worth $11? Would try a peanut butter + choc one personally. Agree with your overall sentiment.
If you loaded it up - which you can, they’re customisable - it might be. Basic vanilla sans loading is not…but I did that on purpose to judge the blankest canvas, so that’s on me.
The texture’s insanely thick and rich. I see potential, if not perfection
Noted, thank you.
The combo that appeals to me personally is banana, peanut butter and (maybe) Biscoff. It does seem to be real bananas - I saw some real bananas going in when I was waiting
Had the chocolate one and it was pretty good. You can mix things in it, like bacon?
I can’t tell whether you are talking about a chocolate burger, or putting bacon into a chocolate shake. Either choice is interesting.

I never managed to sort out the problem changing my bank account with the work payroll portal, they ended up having to enter it manually for me. So now my pay will be going to my shiny new savings account, earning 5% interest with Macquarie, instead of the boring old transaction account, which was about to have it’s interest rate cut to 2.75%. I expected the biggest hassle would be changing all my automatic payments, the actuall payroll bit was supposed to be easy!
It’s a few years old, but this episode about the sound of sport from 99% Invisible is really interesting - https://pca.st/episode/81cbf660-03f3-0132-a289-5f4c86fd3263
And today starts the journey to resetting my internal clock for work.
I know I fail almost everytime I do this but maybe I actually do it today.
Looking forward to chatting with you at 3am!
I hope I’m not up that late!
Looking for recommendations for a good watch repair place in the CBD.
I replaced the movement but it turns out that I no longer have the eye sight / fine motor skills needed to put the watch hands back on…
Being in my 50’s is a wonderful thing.
You want Bob Shao up on the corner of Russell and Little Collins. The store doesn’t look like much, but he’s the guy I took my watch to and was excellent.
Of course, he’s easily in his 50’s also - so don’t try that excuse on him. 😃
I had this plunger thing I bought from Daiso that was great for making scrambled eggs. The MIL managed to break it and she couldn’t find another one at Daiso recently.
It was already a cheap plastic French press, so I’ll see if I can find an actual French press and replace it with that
I find the idea of using a plunger to scramble eggs way more repulsive than I should
It sounds odd using a French press. The cup from Daiso is this cute plastic thing with a little chicken on top of the plunger.
But damn, it scrambles the eggs well and is easy to clean
So does a fork.
A fork in a glass works well too, but I found my little plastic plunger to be a bit more consistent
I don’t even pre-scramble anymore, just bust em up in the pan 🤷♂️
I second this method.
🪠
This sounds ridiculously cute and now im on a mission
This is what it looks like. There are two discs at the bottom full of holes that mash and aerate the egg. It did a good job
Sleepy, the garbage trucks were extra early and extra noisy this morning.
Early night tonight. Goodnight everyone ❤️
see you tmr
These are the absolute best 🤣🤣🤣
Gnight everyone
