Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
I tried a so called cooling memory foam pillow for six months. And while it wasn't terrible it just simply doesn't mould to your head and neck in the same way as a duck down pillow, so I've acquiesced and bought a good duck down pillow with 80% down 20% feather core.
Was it cheap? Hell no but I'm looking forward to improved and more consistent sleep.
Managed to pick the parcel up on the way back from the dentist. I also had another parcel coming from Amazon which apparently needed a password to be delivered, but my case manager put her number down on the order, so the delivery man called her and she gave him the code and he left it.
Had to get a filling today, and he anaesthetised my face. I dislike my face being anaesthetised, but it did mean i didn't feel a thing after the initial needle jab. I'm starting to regain feeling now. Apparently I need 1 more filling and then I'll be referred off to somewhere or rather to have my wisdom teeth removed. I'm going to see if I can have it done privately, because it'll be a year or more wait to get it done through the dental hospital. Also, they'll probably put me completely under (which to be honest I'm terrified of), whereas a dental surgery place will probably just use a ton of local anaesthetic (according to the dentist).
Either way it's going to fucking suck.
I also had a thought while I was at the dentist: if we ever discover scary unfriendly aliens, we should just mildly sedate them and make them go to the dentist. The dentist is terrifying, even when it doesn't hurt.
watching the Vocalyst do reacts to John Farnham and honestly this woman is just lost in the sauce as soon as he opens his mouth. I don't know whether to laugh or be humbled by how much we just take farnsey for granted
Morning all. Hope you had a great weekend.
I was in the mood for a horror movie set at camp and found a couple. I watched one made in 83 called Camp Sleepaway. It actually wasn't too bad, has some out of date thinking around some issues (won't say because it's a spoiler) but the special effects are surprisingly really good, especially for the 80s.
And how good was 80s fashion??
Also I've noticed in the older movies, kids sound whiny as. Think how Luke Skywalker sounds at the start of a New Hope. That high pitched whine when he can't go to Toshi Station.
But the real star of the show was this guy. The total package and screen stealer. I laughed for a good five minutes at this part.
That's Mr Seagoon's Christmas present/package sorted. π
I have pikag coming today, but it's going to come right when I'm at the dentist. I can't ask them to leave it because apparently the sender specifically told them they're not allowed to. They don't usually get parcels to the post office until after they close, and the post office is a PITA to get to by PT, so I probably won't get pigak until Friday :(
They've been promising me for the last week that it will come on either Tuesday or Thursday, and it was just sitting in sunshine west all weekend, but no, apparently at 8:30 they transferred it to Melbourne airport and gave it to a van man at 9:02. The one time I'm unhappy about them being efficient βΉοΈ
1100ml in and just hitting 55% on the alcoholmeter bloody hell, i think ima gonna do a top shelf and a slightly lower shelf burbon outta this
Has anyone used Wix to make a website? I'm thinking of creating an author website but have zero experience in making them so if possible I'd love to use something idiot proof and hear Wix is good for that.

I started out with dokuwiki but it unexpectedly stopped working. I caved and used the default wordpress. Wordpress isn't actually popular, it's just the default provided by most ISP.
I recommend watching this 10-minute highlight reel of this morning's Matilda's game before it is inevitably removed by Youtube:

Such a roller-coaster of a game.
I'm watching The Englishman Who Went Up A Hill And Came Down A Mountain... This is the perfect silly British 90s comedy I needed for tonight. I don't care if they're a bit exaggerated but I loooove singsong Welsh accents π₯°
"Maps, dear Betty, are the undergarments of a country"...
E: that was thoroughly heartwarming and lovely. 100 hobbits (only because it's truly a hobbitty vibe). Now I've got to read up about the crazy true story it was based on!
