    Tonight was good. Attempted to sing with a busker. Song was too low. Watched more buskers. Friend sold something on marketplace in the middle of our hangout. Got ice cream. It was a white chocolate peanut flavour but it didn’t taste like white chocolate!

    One for the books.

    Had a great night practising. I have 3 new songs ready which I’m super happy about ❤️

    Here’s my number one fan hiding in the cupboard in the studio

    Goodnight everyone, and thanks for listening to my vent :)

    in non pooh news, got a wild hair up my arse yesterday and ripped up half the backyard paving. His Lordship toppled the rest this arvo (I left it for him to go SMASHY SMASHY with the sledge, he so rarely gets to)

    IN MY DEFENSE it’s a pathway we’re gonna replace anyway because 1) it’s too narrow for my garden trolleys and 2) the bloody thing’s subsided to the point where it’s at a 40 degree angle and 3) I need the new level for the end point between the food garden ground level and the path for aforementioned trolleys. And I didn’t mean to. I set the goal of moving my fruit trees to the other side of the greenhouse, and edging down it so we could plot.

    But then I looked at those nice clean edges and thought “I could get a pry under there, I wonder how easy it would be?”

    Surprisingly easy as it turned out. Especially with a 2 meter lever. But then I had a meter and a half of 15cm thick concrete with bluestone chips embedded through it at a 90 angle. No point in letting it back down after all that, and I couldn’t leave it propped up. what if it fell down on wildlife? To the sledgehammer! So then I had pieces that will become the crazy paving on the new path.

    Then I started wondering if the next piece would come up that easily and, well, curiosity, cats and now we’re missing 8m of pathway. Birds are going apeshit on the rolly pollies.

      I live cathartically through your epic backyard landscaping adventures, looking forward to the day I can go in on buying a house and bitta land with someone so I can potter around/go manic as needed (well as much as I can, considering I’ll probably be arthritic by the time I can afford that).

        Edit: context was a post about xi proclaiming housing wasn’t an investment. I asked why so many mainlander chinese were squirreling their money away in foreigh real estate markets to keep it out of dear winnie’s hands then. Oooh they did not like that. I was Racist!. Sksksks

    Just back from a lovely walk with my kid. We got to pat 2 very friendly cats, one of which climbed into his lap when he sat down to get closer to it. The other one was called Bruce.

    It’s reignited the ‘should we get another pet’ conversation, but can’t decide cat vs dog

        He’s probably a little more comfortable now that his matted fur has been brushed and cut out.

            Do you have an equigroomer? Or you could make one with an old hacksaw blade glued into a piece of wood I think. The original one was just that. There are small ones available too for dogs & cats.

            Nah. It’s all good. People can post where they like. It just helps to expand other communities on aussie.zone. You can lead a horse but you can’t make it drink.

              I like the DT. I like the people on DT. It’s why I’m here . It’s a real gem.

              It’s really all the same people from DT that post and comment on Tucker anyway so it doesn’t make sense to me to segregate comments about food ?

                It’s all good. We do have posters from other states and even different countries which is pretty cool that post on Tucker Time that don’t necessarily frequent here.

                I like the people here too that’s why I’ve stayed!

    I dropped my Darth Vader keepcup and completely shattered the glass. I’m thinking if I find the same size glass keepcup I could put it all back together.

    But I’m going to keep an eye on marketplace because damn those things are expensive new
