  • Seeking suggestions for a cafe, open Saturday afternoons till 5pm or later, around Greensborough or surrounding suburbs.

    Catching up with bestie and wanna take her somewhere noice without deafening music but good coffee. Focus here is being able to talk freely and hear each other.

    Every place I've checked so far closes at 2 or 3pm. And this is just a coffee (& maybe cake) catch up.

    Any and all suggestions welcome. Thanks.

  • That wind right now is a bit nuts. I'm watching a gum tree in the park beside my house sway quite extensively side to side. It's freaking dramatic out there.

    Good luck to all SES and other response crews for the rest of the day.

    And good luck all hayfever sufferers.

  • Finally got round to watching The Flash movie.

    I am not surprised. Just disappointed. Again.

    Highlights: Keaton, Kara (really well handled & great shots in costume), "Come on Barbie".

    Not even a bangin' soundtrack.

  • I'm planning on seeing it tomorrow! So excited!

  • I had just bought a soft drink can crusher THEN heard how the container deposit scheme wants them uncrushed for the barcode to be read.

    Oh well. I still have a crusher..

  • Just the 2 of us tonight for dinner. Had 2 chicken thighs in the freezer. Diced chicken and dusted in plain flour and flavours (S&P, garlic & onion powders). Once all cooked tossed in the pan with some teriyaki sauce.

    Should've used cornflour. Coating on chicken went a bit puffy. Great for soaking saucy flavour but not quite that great takeaway chicken texture I was hoping for.

    Served with mixed veg & ramen noodles with a bit of chicken stock for taste.

    No photos (quickly devoured) but all eaten by my fussy 8yo boy so a MASSIVE win!

    Pretty happy considering I hate cooking and was in no mood for it tonight.

  • Over 200 kids. All treats, even the backups, gone. All decorations are down and in a pile.

  • Yes. Aim for 12k steps with a min of 5km. 5 days a week.

    Generally nail it each week. Try & get steps up on weekend but I'm lazy so it's hit & miss.

  • Heading home to whack up my Halloween decorations after doing some volunteering at my kid's school this morning.

    Delicious bahn mi roll for lunch should provide sufficient energy.

    Maybe some sewing before school pick up. Or a nap.

  • What an awkward, mentally tiring day. Just when I think I've had a "win" I realise I've actually had 2-5 days worth of "loss".

    Kicking back & watching Patheon season 1 on Prime. Really enjoying it. Distraction and blankets help.

  • I had a dream last night that I owned a golden Labrador called "King" and he was such a good, gentle and kind boy.

    I've never owned a dog. Our house and yard are not suitable for a dog... But I kinda wish King was real.

  • I saw a young asian man today wearing a red robe (silky or satiny) with a thing black belt and a silver or white cirular embroidery of a dragon or Phoenix design on the front. It was over his normal clothes.

    I was with my son, in the car, on the way home from his martial arts class. We both noticed the man and decided he looked like a mega cool modern warrior monk. Going shopping (he had his phone and a personal pull-along shopping trolley).

    Maybe he was going to or from some traditional performance or practice. Either way, he looked cool, triggered our imaginations and made our day.

  • Super social day. Fun, needed but now exhausted.

    Ready to have a day at home, in my PJs, with my blanket, phone & Switch and do NOTHING. Recharge required.

  • I saw the movie Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken today.

    I could've sworn the matriarch was voiced by Carrie Fisher. But it was Jane Fonda.

    The similarities in their voices is strong.

  • My house is visitor clean. Some place are really clean now! So welcome! Just don't open that door. Or that door. And don't check that cupboard.

  • Grey. They have never nested so close to the house until now (been here over 15yrs).

    Had one nest in a tree right beside my letter box, at the top of my driveway, but didn't get swooped once. The birds seem to have left that nest last week.

    I'm fairly sure they'll move along once the chicks are fully airborne.

  • Some myna birds have built a nest in my passion fruit vine which is right beside my clothes line. For the last 3 days I've been hanging out my laundry and they have been swooping me and clicking their angry little birdie noises.

    I have a good relationship with the local magpies. They don't swoop us.

    But these mynas are annoying. I'll leave them alone but I'm looking forward to them moving on.

  • Cat cafe. Sushi. Churros. Train rides. Far better day than what yesterday was.

    Cat tax!
