    I realised today I’m living my life sort of backwards. I wasted my 20’s being drug fucked dealing with a shitty home life so didn’t get to travel, go out, do normal stuff.

    But I’m doing it now. And I have to say, it’s a hell of a lot of fun. I’ve got a shitload of energy despite being 41 and yeah, who said anything about slowing down lol

    Nuremberg Christmas market this morning. It was HEAVING all day, too busy to properly enjoy. We went to the castle and wandered the city instead, just went in for a little while to check it out this evening before dinner.

    Just got back from a hike in Kinglake, the whole place was covered in a super dense fog. Also had to cut the hike short because the leeches were insane, so much so it began freaking my hiking partner out.

    My assignment is submitted and Science of Gardening is now officially over. My garden plan is nowhere near as pretty as the example we were given due to my lack of artistic talent, but hopefully covers everything.

    If I was good at drawing I had some awesome stuff I would have liked to do - in particular I wanted to mark the location of the neighbours yard with “Here be Dragons” with a picture of a blackberry vine that looks like a dragon (as in the twisted stem forming the body, leaves for wings etc.). Instead I had to just use words to say that area needed to be monitored regularly for blackberries, which is way less fun.

    Final assignment for my gardening course is due today, a plan of my garden. I have cleared table space. I have dug out the coloured pencils. I have found a ruler and printed off some graph paper. It feels like the old school assignment days - I haven’t done work on actual paper instead of a computer in years!

    I have finally finished the main work of my assignments that are due today. I still need to go through and do some editing and tidying, but the bulk of it is done. But my brain hurts and I need a break before I can do that. Afternoon tea and a dog walk should help.

      The best donuts. I’ll have a Vic market hot jam donut over one of those fancy toppings ones any day. Also the bratwursts from the bratwurst shop make a great market breakfast.

    Day 57/70: First day of week 9 weigh-in.
    Down 0.5kg. Second week of half kg drops. Nearing the end of the diet, though truth to tell I’ve let the foot off the accelerator these past two weeks. There are just too many special occasions breaking the diet.

    Hot on the heels of SASSPANTS SATURDAY I now present SHADY SUNDAY

    Now that can mean something that is illegal or you can throw it at someone or something that isn’t getting sun.

    For me today it is the latter. my horizontal banksias are in the wrong spot and I’m going to have to dig them out this summer and we’re not looking forward to that.

    Edit: Which of course bring us to the rave:

      When all the servos in one area are selling petrol for the same price. It’s not collusion just a coincidence alright.

        Remember that “failed experiment” fuel watch? Well, it started in WA and never left. The servos obviously hate it, but they’re forced to publish tomorrow’s prices online by 11pm, and must stay at that price the whole day.

        That means you can go to the Fuel Watch site, open map view and it’ll highlight the cheapest fuel today and tomorrow if it’s evening.

        Pretty sure we have cheaper fuel as a result. It’s something about WA that I missed living in Melbourne, and you’ve reminded me that I take it for granted now that I have it back.

        I used to work in the fuel industry. All their point of sales systems are synced for a particular company so they can fidget with pricing in real time.

      Had lunch outside near an intersection. Shady stressed driving everywhere. Few big near misses, lots of drifting across lanes and charging through with too small a gap… Be gentle peoples…we want you still here for Christmas.

      I’ll throw some shade at TEMU then, who are being very slow with my latest order. It’s sitting in a facility somewhere when it is supposed to be here already.

      I would like to be able to throw some shade at my garden beds, which get way too much sun in the middle of summer, but the package I am waiting for contains some vital components, so I can’t!
