It took a bit of time for our lady to settle in this time as she’s been away for a year and hates the carrier - bit of hissing and swiping at her human before he left - but nothing a bit of churu knockoff can’t do to lift a kitty’s mood.
First point of order was bathroom, followed by a general investigation, then of course food (while I was rushing around tidying up and making my own dinner) - guaranteed cutest meows whenever food is involved - but I forgot then that I have to keep her out of my room if I open my closet, because she loves hiding in it and refusing to come out and there was more swiping and angry huffs as I tried to coax her out.
She’s pretty settled now though, headbutts and trills and all, and keeps coming back to sit on/near my socks, so I feel rather honoured 😌

SOX!
I am glad you have sighted the sox. I can now sleep. SOX!
i live for these posts
She has definitely become sassier this time around, thought I’d put treats in one of her toys but it was just normal dry food and she went from super excited to instantly cold and uninterested and even hissed at me later when my leg inadvertantly brushed against her… but then she followed me into the bedroom and has been going in and out and I later heard her merrily crunching on the dry food. and she randomly mrrps at me and probably wants to play but It Is Sleepytime Now. Tomorrow I shall try and wear out some of her energy after work.
Ah the little Soxgirl! It’s been a while
I’m just happy that she remembers this place! I realise it needs a good dust and vacuum though… poor girl is sneezing in one particular corner.
Enjoy your night everyone ❤️
Her little RBF ❤️
Going to be a warmish night tonight.
Low of 14 tonight.
First night in a long time that I’ve had the door and some windows open at night to cool down the house a bit.
Whilst I prefer the red trike as it’s pretty stable with a lot of weight at the back, it is currently out of commission so the new shopping goon and snack mobile (for now) is the unicorn basket bike:
Doubt the kids are going to laugh at me now.
“Can I have a chip”… “No”. “Can you buy us some booze”?.. “No”.

Got a bit shitty at work over being lectured about fucking image formatting (fuck Word, seriously) but got over it thoroughly by (a) having walked to work and back - big tick, (b) absolutely SMASHING through the backlog, and © clocking off on the dot - because I have much more important things to attend to very shortly! Everyone else can fuck off!
Also managed to survive nearly getting collected by some fuckwit speeding through Kew Junction after the cars finished turning, a good 20 seconds after the lights had changed and I was halfway across the pedestrian crossing. People do be getting stuck in dumb situations there. No death for me today, though - thanks, but nothing will get in the way of hosting my VIP guest!
Got home in time to do some last minute gardening (now). How good is it having the sun still up when I get home. Home - which has been nicely aired through all windows during the day. It’s a great feeling.

Thats like… kangaroo, chicken, and t-rex all rolled into one. Impressive
He did a great roasted chicken impersonation. If you ignore the fur and having a head.
Gon’ eat some jambalaya
Son of a gun, I’m having fun on the bayou 🎵
Bummer
Feeling stressed out. The issue of this homeless guy isn’t solved - the services won’t help or come when he’s there, he refuses help, police don’t care because it’s ’public property’ or if they do he just walks away from a welfare check…
He’s ranting and raving and throwing lit cigarettes in an area of dried vegetation and wooden fences near houses. Really mentally unwell with violent outbursts and has aggressively harassed me before. And is now regularly drinking on the bench right outside the window of the room where I sleep - sometimes sleeping there.
He ignored the huge piece of cardboard I left that would have allowed him to sleep elsewhere, isn’t moving to a nearby abandoned flat with a sheltered porch, and it isn’t safe to give him anything.
He doesn’t want help, has possibly already been kicked out of a nearby halfway house for verbally and possibly physically abusing others, and I’m afraid he’s going to start a fire or might attack me. It isn’t safe to approach him to help or direct him elsewhere.
It goes against my morals but if I can’t do anything positive about this situation I’m probably going to have to start thinking of ways to repel him :(
Have you made a complaint to the council? You need to get rid of that bench anyway you can.
I’ve been through this before. Council is pretty useless and I often get judged as if I was just being a bitch to someone disadvantaged (rather than responding to a threat). I can try but that leaves a trail if something were to “happen” to the bench.
last nights’ go at the SMC
Didn’t realise the dew was gonna be so bad so only used 12 x 5mins exposures instead of the 24 I took. Shit happens. Will probably end up using only 4 and will have to take another bunch another night. Good to see the equipment still works though.
Throw open that door, bask in those well needed vitamin d rays and sneeze yourself senseless for the rest of the day.
60 mins to go. Come oooooooon.
Science says I need more sun than others due to darker skin.
All I need to do is write up some notes from today’s meetings and update some stuff in jira and just review my todo list and I’ve been staring at the peregrin falcon livestream for 15 mins. BRAIN FRIED.

I did not know if you put a hash tag in front you get gigantic letters. I will leave this here
ayup, got that goddamn hills hoist LOADED FOR BEAR
I don’t know why my split system does this but I can’t change it from heating to cooling.
To get around it I have to go into my bed room and set that one to either heating or cooling with a remote then walk back into my living room and using that remote turn on the system and it’ll be set to whatever setting I used in the bed room.
If I try and directly move from heating and cooling the split system will double beep at me and won’t switch or turn on.
Frustrating to say the least.
Anyone following the Collins St Falcons - the babies are hatching!
Mama birb’s bum is firmly on them, but #2 hatched about 40 minutes ago.Oh my goodness look at the wee things 😍
Omg is this live TV?
Ok I read live on there so…
My parents watch this feed. I’ll have to ask my mum if she saw it
Today’s weeding done:
About 3x that to go FML.
I’m going to have to ninja it into other people’s green bins at 3am for a few consecutive bin nights (they won’t mind).
My local FB people ask for free green bin space, and usually get an ok
