      Looks like one half of it is dying. Have a look at the base, maybe it was stepped on and a main branch has broken or split. If so, cut back all the yellow bits, they wont recover if the branch is broken. Give it a good water and a bit of fertiliser and it should bounce back.

      Might be. Might also be too dry in parts. I would cut it back severely, aerate the soil around the plant (fork lift method) and apply a slow release fertilizer around the drip zone. Rosemary likes a well drained soil, but does need water and feeding for strong growth. Also, is it in full sun? Rosemary can get sunburned if the sun is too intense. Keeping it bushy rather than letting it go leggy helps a lot to prevent sunburn. Melbourne’s rainfall is usually enough to keep an established plant going, but a young plant may need a good soak after a few very hot dry days. I see you’ve got the mulch sorted, which is good. The reason for the extra fertilizer is to correct any imbalance caused by the mulch decaying and absorbing nutrients that can rob the plant underneath of its nutrition. Pine bark mulch is notorious for this - you usually have to add at least a lime sprinkle under pine bark mulch when it’s first laid down. Slow release is better though.

    Lol I posted this is the wrong thread, here’s the garnet I bought from my local crystal shop, Sacred Gems.

    I don’t think rocks and minerals have energy in the way most of those shops purport, however I do love shiny, cool looking rocks!

    It’s still janky and was difficult without having a razorblade and sandpaper… but I used a hobby knife and found an emery board. The charcoal pencil now looks more like the one in the video.

    Ah :(

    Cat poo talk, blood

    Melbcat did a sus black poo which makes me wonder if the metacam/meloxicam has caused gut bleeding again. Emergency vet has said as long as she’s acting ok I can monitor and call the normal vet on Monday. I’ve fired off an email to the normal vet with pics.

        Fingers crossed! There was a more normal one right behind it so I’m hoping it’s nothing serious or I’m just imagining issues. But better to address it

          Better to be safe than sorry.

          More often than not it’s not your imagination but just self doubt getting in the way.

          You’re probably spot on.

    So I watched the Kitchen (latest Netflix movie that everyone is raving about). Honestly I didn’t think it was all that and it was really slow at times. I actually fast forwarded on occasion thinking for fucks sake get to the point.

    Nice walk around the golf course today. played like shit but it’s still a win weather wise.

    The main thing I was thinking about walking around was the sunset beach dins and have concluded it will be a mcmuffin knockoff with egg, bacon, cheese, cheese kransky (took me way too long find at woolies yesterday), jalapeno, chilli jam, tomato sauce and mayo.

    Beach dins until the world ends!

    Which is naturally today’s rave choon:

    Also saw a bit of the cadel evans roadbike GOR race. Damn they move impressively quickly. Seems a bit pointless being a spectator when it takes a few seconds until they’re out of sight.

    I hate that weird taste you get in your mouth when you wake up sleep deprived or had poor sleep. No stimulants for me at all today I think.

    I really need to make that chilli ginger garlic paste today though.

      Are you impacted by the shortage of some ADHD meds? I’m on 60mg Vyvanse (1 x 40mg + 1 x 20mg) but there’s no 40s available anywhere so I’m on 3 x 20s and only have 8 days supply left :0/

        I haven’t even been able to be prescribed Vyvanse because I only started taking ADHD meds from about last September - when the shortage was alrrady in full swing. My psychiatrist says it’ll be at least March/April at the earliest for the shortage to ease…

        I’m currently on dexamphetamine sulfate (IR) 2x 5mg + 1x 5mg - would love to try Vyvanse for a more gradual release. Good luck finding any place with stock, it sounds really hard to get any dosage anywhere atm
