    Was given the day off today (didn’t want it, or tomorrow, but we’re quiet ATM) so I thought I’d make the best of it by using uneaten strawberries to make jam. It’s still cooling but it seems ok. Also waffles

      I commented before and the jamwaffle looks delicious, but I don’t know how you managed to achieve the Donna Hay cookbook food porn photo. Amazing.

    Idk about any of you. But $35 to get into the Royal Melb Show to pat and feed the sheep and goats was 100% worth the price of admission.

    The piglets, deer, llamas, and rabbits were just so dang cute

        It’s on until Oct 6 but it is terribly expensive. Best to bring your own lunch and snacks and look at all the animals and other competitions.

          Yeah, we got Tix for 35 bc we both have Health Care Cards. Otherwise it is exxy as. Still is.

          Didn’t get any food there, but did buy some coffees, checked out all the animals (ag shed, petting/feeding the animals) and went into most buildings. Got a show bag for Mickey, because they had a cat one, and he loves his new wand toy. And I bought a little cat ring heheh. Hopped on two rides. No regrets, and today was a good day as it wasn’t too crowded at all.

        They didn’t say what breed they were, but I reckon they’re mini lops. You can tell by their size (a bit bigger than a guinea pig), and their ears are ‘loppy’ hence the name. Dwarf lops are bigger versions (like what PeelerSheila posted). They’re super common pets because they’re very friendly and docile.

        I couldn’t believe they had actual deer! I did end up getting a photo of one!

          “And now at last it comes. You will give me the Ring freely! In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen. And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth!”

          She lifted up her hand and from the ring that she wore there issued a great light that illuminated her alone and left all else dark. She stood before Frodo seeming now tall beyond measurement, and beautiful beyond enduring, terrible and worshipful. Then she let her hand fall, and the light faded, and suddenly she laughed again, and lo! she was shrunken: a slender elf-woman, clad in simple white, whose gentle voice was soft and sad.

          “I pass the test”, she said. “I will diminish, and go into the West and remain Galadriel.”

          Or

          “In place of a Dark Lord you would have a Queen! Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the Dawn! Treacherous as the Seas! Stronger than the foundations of the Earth!”

    Bought some food and self maintenance stuff. Marvelled at the Cinderella experience set up.

    Also had a haircut too. Feels nice to have it cut and all neat now.

    Lunch has been had and now have my coffee.

      Sounds like you’ve got a lot of the past to let go of. Speaking as someone who dragged the past around like an anchor for far too long. Even if you were to go overseas, you can’t escape from you. I hope you can one day find a way to let go of it.

      Negative experiences (shit job, shit family, shit friends, trauma, abuse, etc) will cause triggers to manifest naturally, it’s the brain ‘misfiring’ doing risk assessments and memory recollection, similar to the way ptsd works. Something in the world reminds you of that time, and your brain treats it like a new threat rather than a memory, even though it is just a memory.

      You can run away across the seas, but you will still have your brain reacting to triggers.

      It may help to recentre yourself by reminding yourself of what you have achieved, your goals, that you are not ‘there’ anymore. That you have come so far despite your past experiences, and fuck those times where you were in a hard place. You persevered and you are succeeding.

      Sorry for the rant and possible lack of help this supplies 😬

    Already have one fence dispute (or more specifically Unreasonable flow of water between properties) for the shed up the back. Neighbour came over a few weeks ago and couldn’t see a problem. She got the council to come over and look at it FROM HER SIDE and didn’t give me the heads up so they could look at it from MY SIDE. Tried calling the council several times at least take a squizz but to no avail yet.

    Definitely no problemo there. All they have to do is remove a little bit of soil from their side and let it dry out over summer and put in a little retaining wall / moisture barrier.

    Now the other fairly long / high paling fence on the same boundary is collapsing (really fkn wobbly). re-doing the veggie patch so have a heap of old redgum sleepers. Propped it up heavily on my side so when / if it falls it’s not falling my way hah.
