Oh dear, a mate in total crisis who lives in Europe is not nice to see. I'm glad they made it through the night is all I'm willing to share. I've become one of those people saying no matter how shit something seems, drinking will only make it seem worse tomorrow.

Still it's been a good day. My skin is nice and soft. I didn't quite get the walk in. The cats got a good workout chasing toys though and I can still do some bodyweight stuff tonight. The mindfullness movement workshop was great, I got complete mental silence a few times as we did the movements which uplifted me no end. I left feeling pretty euphoric, the gender kind. Any trans and gender diverse people here, if you haven't gone to any of Transgender Victoria's free workshops and such, do think about gettting along. It's freaking beautiful to be among a tribe who are strangers, but instantly see you. They promote them on their insta.

I had two satisfying naps today. I'm legit turning into a cat lady. The crazy part is sure to come along again at some point but not today.

A couple of weeks ago I added someone from a dating app on Instagram (at their suggestion) and the chat has been on and off, I'm considering biting the bullet just suggesting we go for coffee this week. Thoughts?

Thinking about the movie I watched yesterday, The Field. ok. It's about the tragic consequences incurred by a person who values possessions and their rights more than they value people .

ASHES UPDATE: (because I know you're all closeted lovers of the ol' bat n' ball): Second test at Lord's (the home of cricket) Second innings. Australia has already batted. England to chase 371. Currently England 4/114.

We've had a few injuries. Pat Cummins copped a shiner to the eye. Nathan Lyon strained a calf doing some sort of gymnastics on the field. It's OK, we're Aussies we get back up and keep fighting.

It's going to be an exciting match tonight folks. I will be watching and anticipating Midnight (blue) bot's second coming. Oh oh oh oh.

Venting/whinging post warning: Mr Peeler ruined my favourite shot glasses. They were Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec inspired moulin rouge glasses I bought at the monet and friends exhibition at The Lume. I said repeatedly Don't put them in the dishwasher. I even rescued them a few times when he was about to start a cycle and told him again. And what does he do.. the design is all melted and ruined. Aargh! Dammit! End of rant.

I miss sitcoms. The kind that are full of corny jokes and have 20 episodes a season. Seems that era of tv is dead, and it’s sad. Shows like Frasier, Seinfeld, Freinds, Big Bang theory etc. I guess with streaming being the main form of tv now it’s a different market.

I finally got enough FlyBuys points to get another Bunnings gift card. That last 27c seemed to take an awfully long time. Once it arrives I can get more manure and mulch for the garden.
