Girls weekend was a great success!! My voice is hoarse from so much talking along… and 4 hours of singing at Piano Bar last night. The only tears were ones of feeling uplifted and supported (at 3:30am after a lot of alcohol).
Vogue.
Goodnight all ❤️
Date went way better than expected. Conversation was easy. Food was good. Umbrellas broke and we had a laugh.
He thought I seemed overstimulated at a point so he took me to a quiet place and we sat and listened to music. I didn’t even have to say a word! I want to be at least half the person he is. He’s so in tune, more in tune with my body than I am! He could just tell. I guess it was the body language. I was probably avoiding eye contact then overcorrecting it, and scanning the room and laughing nervously.
I hope I can be to him how he is to me.
Thanks all for the nice comments. I love this place. You all are wonderful people and I love coming on here and getting a glimpse into your lives!! 💕🥰
That sounds great
That’s really great to hear. After it seemed like you were really reluctant with the last couple of dates it seems like this guy is really clicking for you
Took the words right out of my mouth :)
you are the sweetest person
I wish you the best 😘
No you are 🥰 thanks Seagoon
so many hugs
“In the end, it was the Sunday afternoons he couldn’t cope with, and that terrible listlessness which starts to set in at about 2:55, when you know that you’ve had all the baths you can usefully have that day, that however hard you stare at any given paragraph in the papers you will never actually read it, or use the revolutionary new pruning technique it describes, and that as you stare at the clock the hands will move relentlessly on to four o’clock, and you will enter the long dark teatime of the soul.”
Ah Douglas Adams, how I miss you.
Perfection
Some cunt must be on a meth bender cos I can hear bass and it hasn’t stopped since last night. It isn’t even a clean bass, it’s reverberating and it sounds shit. My ears have had enough.
The natural enemy of the crack head is sirens.
Just throwing it out there.
I think they’re torturing someone in there. Why else would you have the bass so high with the garage door down, playing the same shitty music over and over?
Crack is a hell of a drug lol
But in all seriousness: there’s a thing called “meth time” where 3 hours feels like 15 minutes.
And there’s that whole thing where crack heads will do stupid repetitive shit because they’re stuck in the “crack zone”.
This makes a lot of sense.
lol.
Almost the same as the natural deterrent of loitering kids is classical music.
I remember the maccas in camberwell did that and it worked lol.
They did that at North Richmond station at one point but smack heads are too doped out to notice lol
The loaf of meat is underway
I think I’ve started something …
I’m easily influenced by the mere suggestion of baked meat products
Moar meatloaf! There can never be too much meatloaf.
I bought mince for spag Bol but I have been thinking about meatloaf ever since you suggested it!
I might do that scotch egg meat loaf recipe once the weather gets a little cooler
I also have to practice making pho
I finally got around to hanging a couple of pictures and installing my video doorbell. It’s only taken 9 months.
One of the pictures is a print of an Australian landscape painting. It’s nice, but doesn’t really suit my house decor, so I’ve hung it in the garage.
I have a friend from high school, he has a wife, 3 kids, just bought a nice place to live. I have a shitload of respect for this guy. Probably the person I respect the most.
He was recently promoted and messaged me because he had a bit of a crisis adjusting to the new role.
I sent him a 5ish minute voice message, and spent the evening helping him get a hang of how to manage the new role.
It’s an incredible feeling when you can help someone that you really respect, despite your own failings.
you see your own failings the most because you are in your own mind and have high expectations and ideals
but others see you for what you do and say and may have a more realistic and compassionate view
so take it as the vote of confidence and acknowledgement of your skills that is , you’ve got this 👍🙂🥰
Melbcat has been eating a little and peed but still seems a bit flat and sort of groans and sighs as if in discomfort. Getting her seen.
seems recovery is real but slow
so many gentle hugs to you both
Second date today. Kind of shitting myself but what’s the worst that can happen?
Well, shitting yourself would be up there I reckon. So might as well chill 😁
You realise maybe you don’t have chemistry.
You take the confidence you earned from going through with this, and use it to keep moving forward if you feel ready.
The worst that can happen is he kidnaps you and keeps you in a dungeon for years as a sex slave. Although that’s also technically a risk you face at any time, it’s not really date specific.
The worst that is likely to happen is you collect a new bad date story you’ll be able to entertain people with for years.
Exactly 🙌
And collecting bad date stories is a positive if you look at it that way
Almost all bad events have good story potential. Thinking about that at the time can actually be a good way of getting through it too - instead of focusing on the bad you can think about ‘how will I tell this story to everyone later’.
But hopefully it will go well, even if that is the more boring outcome 😁
what’s the best that could happen 🙂
Remember to have fun!!
Are you implying dates aren’t ways to find out you have a whole bunch of unknown insecurities?!?!
I leave the back door open and the screen door locked.
Got woken up at 3am by Gibson screaming. Freaked me out. She saw another cat lol
Greensborough Plaza is a shithole with nothing to draw you there, but there is a banh mi place pretending to be a regular sandwich shop and a Chinese food place pretending to be a regular takeaway. Get that bag if it works
Totally haha. We hit up the ramen place before the cinema sometimes. It’s good. And we now bring earplugs to the hoyts 😆 coz it’s fucken loud az.
We were there for this dinosaur event they had on and they were just letting people in. There were no signs to nit touch the animatronic dinosaur displays and they couldn’t stop people anyway because there were only two girls working there and they were flat out preparing wooden dinosaur cutouts to paint.
And by the time you were done you just had this wet painted plywood dinosaur on a stand, paint pots, and a wet paintbrush to carry around with you. The kids had fun but there was no thought beyond just getting people in the door
the beach pictures from yesterday 🙂Just the usual, a big jelly fish, shells, a shark egg, an angling float. The cork fishing net float is a rare find, they were used in the 60s , cork lasts very well
Still find it crazy what you’re finding at your beach.
I’m starting to wonder if the reason I’m not finding much at my one is because it’s right just inside the heads. You do see a whole lot of cool shells at the Lonny lighthouse / rockpools but that’s a marine park so big no no I think.
It seems I’m the only one who goes to my beach to beachcomb, others come to walk their dog, take photos of birds, to fish or collect crabs and mussels. It’s not a classic sandy beach where people sunbathe or swim, they come to play and do things, and where I walk is far past the popular part and into the wilderness
Turps headache. 👎🏻
Vegemite toast helps.
Ok you actually mean turps and not booze. Lol.
gentle hugs
would a cup of tea help?
Couldn’t hurt. I’ve all the ventilation possible going, it’s just one of those smells that really bothers me.
Soft warm rain falling. I’m glad I did the laundry yesterday as it looks like there’ll only be a few breaks in the rain before the cool change comes. Gear up for sticky heat folks.
Went to the cats and that warm rain is bliss
Same here, and I’m also glad I mowed the lawn in the evening instead of putting it off until this morning which I almost did. My decision not to water the garden has also worked out for once.
It looks like Mr Woof and I will be in raincoats for our morning walk, it’s been a long time since that has been needed.
