Gym complete. Need food and possibly an iced coffee

You're doing alright. It's not easy dadding, but he loves you

Do me a toastie would you please?

He's due to leave the country shortly. His partner is Spanish, they're headed to Spain

Good night

Very productive work day

My mate is the quizmaster there

I have gymed.

There will be soup and dumplings later, but for now I must pack my work bag

Mmmmm sleepy

I have a couple of hours to kill before the gym. Might make soup

Yay, I know things

A minor PSA.

If you're doing it a bit tough and you're in the Carlton area, Kathleen Syme library have a fridge in their entryway with free Fareshare meals available. Max 2 per person.

Particularly good for chronic health gang, as they're heat and eat meals

It’s a nice day and I’ve lazed enough. I’m going out
