Shove a matchbox racecar up there to pay homage to jackass.

Auditing my take away coffee cops since I can get a discount if I use it, people seem to be accepting them again and lets face it tinyest is FAR more likely to get me crook anyway. Turns out I need 2 lids and 2 rubber bands. A new glass one is 30 something bucks, so wanna assume what the lids and bands cost? Yep. 50 bucks. Far out. So much for environmentally friendly. Mrs swears she has seen them in op shops but I never have, can anyone confirm? Or did anyone find a cheaper way to get replacement parts?

Double conditioner worked to keep this mop from frizzing and tangling. Think I'll keep my hair longish, don't want to end up looking like Edna Mode.

My boring sock saga.

I am sick of socks having only two or three wears before they get a hole. They are not too cheap, 10-15 a pair. My nails are good, I do do walking, so maybe socks are made for a more sedentary lifestyle. I can't wear tradie socks as they are too thick to fit in my shoes and I have wide feet. I have tried many brands and stores.

I bought some snoopy socks from typo/cotton on today, let's see how they hold up.

What are your faves? Looking for some recommendations here.

Watched some of The Piano Teacher last night. I remember catching a scene from it on SBS years ago and I always wondered what the movie was.

There should be Steam life achievements for figuring out things like this

Had the windows open a bit to take advantage of the (relatively) balmy weather. Apparently it was All Too Cold for the cats, who are both curled up in the loungeroom and the bedroom respectively with their tails around their noses.

All my overtime over the past week clocked up to an extra entire day of work ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ Luckily my workplace was super understanding and flexible and have redirected Monday's site visits so I can take ALL of Monday off in lieu to get desperately caught up on a bunch of other things! ๐Ÿ˜Œ I'm gonna sleep well tonight. Once I've finished standing around with my niece at this impossibly slow check in queue... It has been a solid hour... dont fly Scoot you guys.

Mission to cbd successful. My glasses are fixed like new, got some new socks ( socks are another story ๐Ÿคฌ ) , got some lovely yarn to darn with and do that visible mending thing. I also noticed practically no one in the city was wearing clothing with patterns on, no prints, no weaves, no knitted patterns. Just block colours. Come home to Carlton, hooray, bright clothes again.
