Here we go, then! #itson #libspill #auspol

Finally! #melbourne #melbourneweather

Do I do a re-listen of The Dresden Files in their entirety, or do I just re-listen from Peace Talks onward... How much of my life for the next six months do I want to commit to this 😆

"Strengthen internal processes" - surely that should read "crush dissent." #auspol

I buy the audiobooks I have to buy from the iTunes store, because I can actually DOWNLOAD THOSE SUCCESSFULLY (looking at you, Audible). I need the files themselves for... reasons. But Gods, iTunes is the WORST

Looks like it's on for this afternoon! #melbourne #melbourneweather

Doing some high-protein meal prep for the freezer (today, queso chicken and beef sauce for pasta). Finally opened the nutritional yeast with a view to putting it in the queso chicken. That shit is going in EVERYTHING now...! 😍

I would pay for #ausopen coverage just to not have to watch MAFS ads.

Put it on the list with 'covfefe'

Standing in line to pick up my American bbq box watching the #ausopen scores. In disbelief 😁 Got a 5th set to watch when I get home!

Great way to get me to NOT start a live chat

Considered replacing my old bedroom dumb TV (from Big W about 20 years ago) - I want some streaming. But it still works beautifully, and I can use the remote in the dark. 😂 And after looking at reviews on new TVs an appropriate size to replace it, decided to get Chromecast instead... cheaper, too!

I put a circle of high density foam under the cover of the top platform, and now it's her favourite place to lounge and enjoy the breeze 🐈‍⬛

lol @ international commentator being miffed at the #ausopen playing a "soft song" to rile up the crowd while we waited for Wawrinka to return A quick explanation of why "The Horses" was in fact a brilliant choice for crowd karaoke followed from the local talent 😂🐎

Sinners is INCREDIBLE and so many people are sleeping on it...!

Did anyone at Nine actually listen to McEnroe's commentary before they hired him? Very little insight, and vastly less skilled at calling the game in an interesting fashion than Courier. And gods, Jim Courier is so much easier on the ears! #ausopen #AO

Putting irrigation in my front garden was the best thing I did. Turn tap on, set timer AND leave recycled water tap key on the bench so I DON'T FORGET IT, and go about the day. No wasted water, no time spent watering. And a garden full of natives that don't need much water to begin with helps!

Imagine Thanasi's drive in Kyrgios' body. 😭

She's smoky out there now! It's just smoke blowing in, but it's still eerie #melbourne

If they do the book any sort of justice, that movie is going to be INCREDIBLE

Cooking bacon in the cast iron this morning and it STUCK lol Just spent some time seasoning the skillet like I did the wok - MUCH harder than when I got the skillet and had no clue with seasoning. The wok is wicked non-stick, so... Also, the evaporative cooling's fan is great for clearing smoke 😆

I mean Foxtel can't really say no if a former PM wants to drop by the commentary box, but yikes. Can we not. #ashes

How nice would it have been to have the fifth Test start on a Saturday... 🙄 #ashes

Went back to Renovators Paradise this morning and found a gorgeous piece of old Tassie oak that's been through the thicknesser, so the top and bottom are silky smooth but the edges are still 100-year-old-rough. Gonna make a couple/three very nice bathroom shelves! The colour of that old hardwood 😍

Praise the Gods! Way late for lunch, starving, I arrive at Bunnings - sausage sizzle! And I got more onions on this one than the last two Bunnings snags combined! 😁

That's a good idea, Uzzy. I am glad he got a bit of a farewell tour - deserves it.

Comfy kitty 🐈‍⬛♥️

Bought a new pair of Cyclone gardening gloves a few months back, after I wore the great first pair out landscaping the front and half the backyard over about 18 months. The reviews were correct - shit quality and shit fit now. Stitching on the right hand has split, so back to Bunnings tomorrow!

@sebastianstanrocks.bsky.social hello from 2026! 🎉 Happy New Year!

Had a fairly disappointing chicken burrito yesterday. Now I'm making Spanish rice to go in MY burrito tonight (with the new habanero hot sauce!) because dammit I can do better than the restaurant did yesterday. 😆

Open up this picture fully. Then look at the surface of Mars. Then look up to the top right. Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky. Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos. That's Earth.

Apparently Priceline leaves it up to stores to decide if they'll refund recalled products without a receipt. We have a difference on opinion on this subject, where they think they can refuse to refund a product the *manufacturer* has said is not fit for purpose, and I think that's insane.

INXSessive heat 🎵I need you tonight 'Cause I'm not sleeping There's something about you, fan That makes me sweat less So how do you feel? I'm fuckin hot What do you think? Can't think at all Whatcha gonna do? Gonna lie here all night How do you feel? I'm fuckin hot!! 🎵

Zelenskyy has incredible self control.

Don't give them ideas 😂

Trying to buy a replacement for my almost-empty mineral sunscreen - it's nowhere to be found. I check out their website, and there's a banner: Product Recall. Yep. That one, with that batch number and expiry. 😆 Results tell me it's still working (used it today), but yeah, we'll take that back...

Reheating the Hollandaise I made from the pavlova egg yolks the other day, and by the gods it IS WORKING This is the most stable Hollandaise I've ever made 😆

Cat snuggled up against my hip, purring, so I put an arm around her and she rests her warm, soft little cat head on my arm and continues vibrating ♥️🐈‍⬛

We're going to get back in this afternoon WITH A LEAD for Christ sakes 😂 #ashes

We're going to get back in this afternoon at this rate #ashes

I was thinking about going to day 4 of this Test, but I don't think I'll be doing that 😂💀 #ashes

One day. One glorious day...

What is even happening 😂 3 for 8 now?! #ashes

What an absolute nightmare 😅💀 #ashes

Nice to see England putting up a fight, but I just don't see them being able to keep it up for long. Question is whether Australia get themselves into gear or not. #ashes

Talking myself into making pierogi. The frozen ones are just interesting enough that I can see what they're getting at - and I successfully made pork and chive dumplings, so how hard can it be 😁

Hmmmm there are a couple of things I want that are on sale (yay Boxing Day), but I want to see them IRL first - I fear I may have to make the trek to the shops... not ON Boxing Day though, I'm not insane 💀
