Its got fruit in it, so its healthy, right?
Good to be back down the bellarine for a bit.
Main water leak down here fixed.. but.. rocked up to another leak in the shower lol. Fixed that then the laundry sink taps decided they'd join the party.
Fixed now but honestly water wins. I concede.
Finally cooked stir fry Hokies noodles and washed up. Now eating.
Have dinner for at least 2 or 3 more days of meals all sorted.
Pars, ham, onions, random assorted sauces and noodles = yum yum
I have ordered a frankly stupid size of schnitzel

I've been playing around with work's Marketing automation and it is so nice to use. So much better than Marketing Cloud. I can't wait to get in there properly.
I may be able to convince the head office team to switch the CMS to drupal too. That combination would be dream working conditions for me, it would be crazy smooth workflow
My parents were saying they took a mystery flight interstate back in the day. They ended up in Sydney, but still, it seems like they lived quite a bit back in the day. My mum hasn't been outside of Victoria in over ten years and says she's used to having no holidays. I wish I could surprise them with a holiday.
Reminds me of when my grandmother visited Ireland for the last time, she knew it would be the last time due to age. She lived another 15 years.

good night every one π
Iβm so enthralled by the mushroom ladyβs trial. Using the different coloured plates to hers is sooo suss. But I donβt know, all this evidence so far reported seems circumstantial.
Maybe she only had a 4 piece set of good plates. Would've been interesting to see what plate the husband could've received.
this to me sounds like clueless privileged lawyers who have never had to eat from a mismatched set
Well yeah exactly
How could it be anything but circumstantial? It's rare in any murder trial to have direct evidence, and poisoning is inherently a hidden and secretive crime. Unless she actually videoed herself picking poisonous mushrooms, putting them the meal, and saying she know's they're poisonous I can't see any way you could have direct evidence.
Circumstantial evidence is not bad evidence. Once you have a reasonable amount of different bits of evidence all pointing in the same direction it becomes very solid evidence.
I agree with you. But circumstantial evidence is good evidence when it leads to no other reasonable explanation besides intent to kill. I havenβt heard of any evidence (so far at least) that goes beyond the accused acting suss. Thereβs weeks of this trial to go, Iβm only referring to whatβs come out so far. Much more to the story to come.
So so suss, so much suss. But that's it so far. She had a different coloured plate, but her ex said she had mismatched plates.
The lying about having cancer and telling the victims, but why tell them that lie if she intended to kill them with the meal?
Lying about where the mushrooms came from when questioned, but she could have just panicked in a stressful situation.
I'm very curious to see the outcome of this tbh
she could still just be very stupid
Saw a really bad car accident on my way home.
It happened on Hotham street close to the Nepean highway end.
A suv on its side all smashed up badly, I think someone was trapped inside.
Ambos only just got there as I passed by it, police and 2 fire trucks were on the way there.
Hope whoever is was is ok and didnβt get Injured by the accident.
It was that kind of day. Saw three close calls just waiting to turn left out of work. Hope they are ok
Too frazzled and flustered to get my promised salmon. I can't handle any more changes of environment after psych session. I feel sensitive to every possible thing that could go wrong. I found a fix to something I urgently need to do at work. Now I'm stuck in a BSOD boot loop... Joy... the error message is CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED which sounds somewhat apt.
I third the hugs.
it can be a comfort to do something or have something that is very familiar, fave tv show, movie, fave food,
Thank you π I pushed on with another hour of discomfort to resolve the urgent work issue I was gonna do on my work laptop, by doing it on my personal one instead (at least I worked out the bug and reported it so I feel a sense of closure and satisfaction).
Now it is time for comfort food and tv show. and maybe I'll call/message my aunt who is with my mum. My work laptop is fubar atm so I think of it as a sign from the universe to just stop.
hugs
I was getting BAD POOL cALLER lots the other day, but it seems to have resolved itself
It might be just me but that sounds like the name of some really bad Pornhub upload that somehow makes it all worse...
I can't get access to the bitlocker key for this laptop to roll back the update or do anything so I'm just gonna leave it with IT to sort out. NMP!
Farrk I'm so sorry Kitten, that sucks balls. Totally get ya on the post-psych sensitivity ugh.
I know it's all nuts right now, and you're feeling crappy, just make sure to set aside some self care time and treat yourself ππ sending you my good vibes

I nearly thought that was a peanut (emoji very weird on desktop browser) and was ready to feel even more upset π€
but thank you for healing potat
I'm reading The Burrow at the moment. It's excellent but also set during Melbourne lockdown. I think there's enough distance now for it to not take me right back there emotionally, and it's not the focus of the book, but it's a bit weird. Reliving the easing restrictions and density limits and all that shit.
It also makes me want a pet rabbit.
I don't think I COULD read a book with that setting. In a city I didn't know it might be different, but not Melbourne
Neither could I. Still too soon, too close. Would need to be 10 years from the end of lockdowns imo
Local Colesworth had all sorts of cheesecakes reduced to clear.. lemon curd, french style, triple berries, caramel biscuit crumb and passionfruit pavlova dessert. I bought one of each and my greedy ass regrets nothing π€€ Happy early mother's day fat ass π€£
Thanks for the heads up. I fucking love cheesecake.
It's just about my favourite thing! I'd be hard pressed to choose between cheesecake and tiramisu. I adore them both.

I think tomorrow I will spend the whole day painting furniture
A mystery bag delivery has yielded assorted teas, a drill, condiments and seasonings, and a lil ukulele.
Matches and aeroguard too, so now I wonder whether that Elon mural is still up and how much damage I could do with those two items π€
Edit: oh and also I didn't really have go stress I guess; I did the research assessment and submitted that, and then did the research and loose script for the (stupid) roleplay tomorrow.
Today I bought a few vintage LPs, first time in months, also an Iggy Pop greatest hits cd. Nothing odd, just some classical music.
