Melbcat ‘monkey tails’ me and people she likes by wrapping it around us, it’s her version of a hug.

I know when she’s sick because along with the other body language she sometimes ‘hugs’ herself with her tail to self soothe.

Omg. It looks like you’re getting a tail hug. (Cats wrapping their tail around someone is a sign of affection)

Top 10 Anime Betrayals: There are no biscuits I can eat at Aldi and the Woolies brand gingersnaps are actually good.

Read The Tibetan Box by Elizabeth Walters or The Crate by Stephen King before approaching it

Quiche Lorraine is good for this. You can make an easy one with premade pastry and skip the blind baking (I used to just use dried chives)

Melbcat seems okay. I’m waiting to see if the latest issue resolves but she’s got a good appetite, is washing herself, and got up to curiously follow a visitor around. She doesn’t seem to be uncomfortable or have pain.

She keeps giving me the biggest fright 😅

Furbaby had a cuddle, napped, then has been woken for dinner and meds. I hope she’s feeling a bit better. ::: spoiler spoiler I’m dropping the Osmolax down and starting to give her probiotics in the hope that helps her tummy. Maybe even try a little psyllium husk instead. :::

Also I’m glad you guys are around. You’re good people.

I wish that were me

Hang in there

There’s a crack in everything

It’s where the light gets in

There wasn’t that much I could have at Aldi and Kmart is no longer cheap. Oof

I don’t know what’s up with me. I have things to do but just can’t lock in.

Edit: Coles is absolutely taking the piss on some of their prices. I’m considering getting this weeks load of stuff from Aldi while I have someone with me to help… it still involves prolonged standing while I check ingredients and the general hassle of it. It is much easier to get delivery in the cheap slots.

I’ll ask them to help me drop off the clothing donations and see how I feel.

Ok thanks, I’ll check it out

I’ll have to dig more into it and see what other people are doing

Thanks, it’s on the pricey side but might last. I’ve added it to the basket to think on

I have a hair type that’s difficult to get dry/takes a long time even after being towel dried and combed, so the cheap Kmarget hairdryers overheat and shut down while half my head is still wet. Often repeatedly.

With EOFY sales on can anyone recommend a decent hairdryer that still has a reasonable budget? I’m thinking a basic workhorse under $50. No special features are really needed.

(Not really in the market for brushes or tools or things for a styling blow dry, I just need a dryer that will let me rough dry my roots with my fingers so my scalp isn’t sitting damp for a long time.)

You might like chip shop curry or Japanese curry. I’ve never had either but they’re said to be milder

I’d test drive it for you if I could! (I really miss mild Indian food)

But Aldi products get a lot of informal reviews so I recommend having a google around. I found some but not sure about etiquette of linking FB or the other place.

If you’re not a spice fan and unsure whether you’ll like it it might be better to make your own version to avoid ruining anything you put it on. Tinned tomatoes and spice packets are cheap. Or buy it and first try a smear on toast to avoid throwing out a meal.

Otherwise buy a tub of Greek yogurt to mix in or blend with some cheap fruit for a lassi. Yogurt and milk in general have a cooling effect because the fat insulates your mouth from the spicy oils, and Greek yogurt tends to be creamier and fattier.

If you’re worried about it not being spicy enough… I don’t know, never had that problem but you can add heat.
