hi everyone it’s ceoofmyhouse’s daughter. mum had one too many tequila shots so she asked me to make this post, hope you all have a good weekend!
Got my beard trimmed today. The barber complemented me in a very heavy arabic accent as follows ‘My friend, you have very nice and soft skin’
Thanks?
Watched “Luca” with the kids, which was entertaining enough for a kids movie to keep me involved. Also watched a short (9 minute) animation called “Kitbull” about a kitten making friends with a dog that unexpectedly really tugged at my heartstrings and left me a bit leaky around the eyes.
Luca is such a sweet flick.
I enjoyed Turning Red massively as well. Late 90s early 00s Toronto setting Strick a lot of heart strings for me.
Stressful evening today, if saying something made me feel distressed or angry why would someone keep doing that when I’ve previously and said again how it makes me feel?
Anyway I’m hoping to maybe watch a movie tonight, get some dinner soon and maybe comfort myself with ice cream or crack open a bottle though I know drinking too much isn’t good for my body.
I really need some time out from the drama.
hugs
That is not ok.
Toni Childs!
I don’t think she had dreads. Lovely voice though - Many rivers is a favorite of mine.
Yeah I was wrong about that bit. Impressive wild mane, but not dreaded.

daughter of CEO I heard you like electrons ⚡️
Another classic Uyghur meal, but no electrons please - those things cause cancer
🐑🍜
I need energy and focus to get me through furniture assembly day. I’ll start with a full english breakfast and three cups of strong black coffee please. Plus a plate of assorted pastries to keep my energy up during the day.
I’ll have what she’s having, only with tea and some electrons too please. Didn’t know energy drinks were on the menu, but glad to find out.

Thank you. This will power me through the massive heaps of laundry I intend to do.

A low power drill does wonders for furniture assembly.
Fully agree with this. Gamechanger.
Drill is ready to go. Still waiting on the furniture.
A trained carpenter does not. They want to argue with the instructions all the time.
Thirded.

Another very weird dream overnight but involving a lot of childhood friends and a weird alternative version of the country I grew up in. No details today because it was very personal and at one point weirdly sexual and I’m still feeling pretty weird about that…
I think my brain is still processing the fact that I’m really here for good now after over a decade of uncertainty. There was a sense that I was very much a visitor over there and I liked that I had somewhere else to return to.
So about two months ago I bought new sheets. They were a lovely teal colour.
The problem is they don’t seem to be particularly colour fast. There’s already fading and lines across them from where they were hung on the washing line. How disappointing.
Maybe the moral of the story is to not buy coloured sheets? Or maybe I just chose the wrong brand.
Dye is so finicky sometimes… I used to dye my own clothing at home and had to be careful of it running. (I didn’t have any of the special product used to remove the last loose traces either.) I used cold water washes, salt, air drying inside and sometimes detergent meant for dark colours.
There are also dye fixatives that I’ve seen now - I haven’t used them before but if you were interested in giving that a try RIT at Woolies seems the easiest to get hold of.
Edit: It could very much be a quality issue with the sheets too but unfortunately I don’t have any advice on which are good. I just gave up and buy very cheap white cotton sheets which can take a beating or some bleach.
Wrong brand. I have various coloured sheets and they’re still holding their colour after years.
Look it’s hard to tell with sheet quality sometimes unfortunately. I have two sets of linen sheets, both expensive organic whatever… the navy one from Elkie & Ark bought in Dec 2020 started not just pilling but, to my frustration, leaving tiny, pilled fibres on the mattress under where I slept and it’s been impossible to get them off. The other one, an olive green set from Bed Threads with two extra ochre pillow cases bought in Mar 2022, has had no issues.
Neither has faded though.
Hmm ok sounds like I was very unlucky with my choice then. This is a lesson to me to do more product research before buying.
Also, if you have doubts, you can wash items BEFORE use with salt in the water instead of soap powder/detergent. This will fix the colour - even for very cheap dyed items. Dosage is 1 cup of pure cooking salt (not iodised) per 10 litres of water in the machine. Rinse with clean water as normal. This also cleans your machine quite well.
Interesting, thank you might give it a crack next time.
Go for koo.
They seem to be quite cheap price wise, and they have remained colour fast? I’ll admit I’m surprised.
Have a bunch of vivid colours coming up on 10-15 years old now, very colour fast
Sounds heard from my balcony this week:
- tram dings and trams accelerating
- train horns
- a man playing saxophone from a nearby balcony (I call him ‘The Sax Man’)
- distant general construction
- The Office (US) theme song from a neighbouring apartment every half hour or so
- hooting and screaming from the social housing next door
- helicopters
- neighbour’s dog barking
- birds tweeting, mostly lorikeets and pigeons
- nearby general construction
- skateboarders laughing and skating below in the alley
- ambulance sirens
- two tradies arguing over something to do with their EWP
- sounds of glass smashing and people laughing at a nearby venue
- a group singing Happy Birthday and cheering
- cars on the road
- drunk people laughing in the alley, on a pub crawl
- general construction on my building
- neighbour’s cat meowing
- planes flying above
- police sirens
- the garbage truck
- the motorcycle my neighbour drives and revvs in the alley like a hooligan (she is so lovely though 🤔)
- the downstairs restaurant changing their kegs over
- trash being put in the dumpsters
- the downstairs door beeping, opening, and closing.
- real estate agents in the alley having dumb conversations during the workday
This is a sound picture. Lovely. Life happening all around you, and you can choose to engage or choose not to.
It truly is my favourite place to live, I love the sounds so much.
so many hugs
this is city life at it’s best :)
Beautiful! A much richer variety of sounds than I hear at my joint!
Found a lovely seat in the shade to enjoy my fancy pie. I should be so lucky.
Wooo road trip to moe. With a fellow ASD of a fellow age with a wonderful alignment of music and conversation lengths and topics. Quite looking forward to it.
Jeez the sound of the surf this morning sounds rough.
I was cleaned up fairly hilariously yesterday by a triple wave (where 3 waves sort of turn into one). Seen 2 waves do that before many times but not 3… I was not ready for that ~3m wall of water.
I think that was my first real encounter with a rogue wave. Usually diving under waves is no biggie but it certainly did not work with that one.
Good reminder that the sea can f you up even at ‘safe’ beaches
Here we go again, another lesson learnt, better know your friends, or else you will get burnt…
I’m gonna go tooooooo… *licks finger and holds it in the air* Kyneton for a pie. Then maybe Bendigo just because why not. Then I’ll see.
Very good home made sausages in Kyneton. If local butcher is still open, enquire.
Furniture has arrived. I’ve assembled two trolleys so far. One of the trolleys I have three already that are nearly identical that I’ve collected from various hard rubbish piles.
My post said it didn’t post but then it did 🤔 anyone else having this issue?
Had this when I was posting using Sync, had to embarrassingly delete 3 duplicate posts.
That’s what I had to do as well! It seemed every time I hit the send button it posted but told me it didn’t. I’m using Jerboa which has been working fine for me so far.
