    Got the phone back! I tried it this morning and it was on the move through Heidelberg. I thought it’s obviously still on the bus! I tracked it through the suburbs until it was near my place and went out to the bus stop, caught that bus and found it wedged down between the seat and the wall! It was so exciting! Hey, I’m a middle aged mum, it’s the most exciting thing I’ve done all year! The bus driver was kind enough to wait at the stop for me to search for it as well. Wonder how often they clean the buses tho…

    My daughter helped a relo out with his banking because he freaked out a bit. She says to me “Mum, he doesn’t know how banking works but he knows how to get on Tinder”. I couldn’t stop laughing. 😂

    Wore heels for the first time in many forevers yesterday. Now have a confused mix of toes that ache and ones I can’t feel properly. Hope this isn’t cause for actual concern.

    Wake was a very fine send off indeed. Don’t think the cafe staff knew what hit them.

      I wore stupidly high heels to my wedding many years ago and could not feel a couple of my toes for weeks. Feeling eventually returned and I still have all my toes, so I guess that means it’s ok?

        These probably don’t even count as heels to many. I’ve never been a spike person, but being out of practice on even such low things seems to matter now.

    Don’t you love when you have a banh mi place that every time you get one you’re just, like, “this is the best banh mi I’ve ever had”? Also love when you’re eating a banh mi and you get that moment when you’re staring down a chilli thinking it won’t be so bad but also know it’s going to punch your mouth up in the most delicious of ways?

    I’m a happy girl.

    Cheers for the advice on the second hand backpack. Got a bellroy classic in near new nick for 85 bucks, normally 220. No shame in jumping in at that price point.

        yeah your deffo paying for a brand. I’ve got mates with them and they love them. but these are also mates who love B&O products when I’m just running around with a pair of cheapo bose and an old base iphone.

        I like nice stuff, but I’m not paying for NICE stuff if you know what I mean.

    boss yeah I’m gonna send ya a couple servers to configure.
    me: aight.
    boss: I need them done by tomorrow
    me: doable, but you’re building an 8tb stripe, that alone is gonna take about five hours jsyk.
    boss: also I have just realised you go on leave next week so I want everything possible done right now. Even things that can wait. Even things that aren’t anywhere near being implemented.
    boss: I am going to send you every email under the conceivable fucking sun and demand you answer them instead of building my servers.
    boss: I’m also gonna let a client scream at you about something I did
    boss: and I’m gonna ask you if you’ve done something that I explicitly said I’d do three weeks ago
    boss: and then I’m gonna send you another couple servers.
    boss: I want these ready to ship to client tomorrow.

    Noooooo. Was meant to dump my bags by the door and head back out to buy groceries but somehow managed to lock myself out even though this unit door doesn’t actually self-lock… actually idk how it worked because normally you can only lock it from the inside after the door is shut, and you can only lock it from the outside with a key…

    Anyway, thank fuck my friend who lives down the road and has my spare keys is on his way back from a site out east, and crucially, has NOT yet left for a 4 day work trip to Halls Gap.

    Sitting in the shopping centre across the road staying warm and enjoying supermarket dolmades. It’s tempting to buy a bag of chips but I really have a protein craving more than anything else.

    E: back in. No fish curry for me tonight. But I’ll be sure as hell making it tomorrow. Old lil eggplants, fresh green beans, 4-year-old Baba’s fish curry powder, oñons, bitta tomato paste and coconut milk.

        Yeah my friend rocked up half an hour ago thank goodness. It turns out it is possible to lock the door from the inside and then close it :|

        Will be making extra copies of keys to put under doormat and in office…

            There’s a security door for the block of 3 units and I’m on the top floor. Nobody comes up here unless I’ve asked them to. I’m taking the risk. Not wearing it on me and I’ll be outta here in a few months anyway.

    Decided to clean out the bottom shelf of the pantry - we rarely use it.

    Guess where the little flies were coming from 😭💀 never leaving tea in there ever, EVER AGAIN.

    Cleaned out now and sprayed in there, and wiped down the front so the cat doesn’t get sick.

    I’m HORRIFIED, everything has been chucked.

    Edit: to be VERY CLEAR: I am not a filthy person! I’m messy, but not filthy. That has NEVER happened to me before 😭😭😭

      You’re not alone!

      One time there was this awful smell in the kitchen that I just couldn’t find the source of. Searched everywhere, cleaned everything, still stinky. Thought maybe a rat had died under floor it was so bad.

      It turned out to be a rotten potato at the back of the potato rack. Looked fine on top but was mush underneath. The smell was unholy, and it took months to get the residual smell out of the cupboard.

      (I’m also not a filthy person, but did feel pretty stupid for missing something so obvious, lol)

    Have discovered it is possible to spend silly amounts of money on screen doors.

    Then went to the plant nursery. Ouch, and did not buy the life size cheetah statue.
