Trying toast with mustard. I don’t know if this will be a good idea or not, but yay to trying new things.
Never had that. I used to like putting nutritional yeast on hot buttered toast.
Otherwise maybe try tiger toast (cut slices of cheese over Vegemite toast to make stripes). Or melting cheese over the mustard under the grill, mustard goes great with cheesy things.
I used to eat mustard and mayo sandwiches when on struggle street.
I used to eat just mayo or mustard pickle on a slice of bread.
Or tomato sauce and spam sandwiches if you had spam. A cousin of the baloney/devon sandwich
My WWII grandmother passed on her appreciation of corned beef sandwiches to me. Even though I’ve mostly stopped eating meat I still feel like reaching for it in Aldi. My other gran gave me a taste for Fray Bentos pies, which are their own culinary abomination.
I used to love corned beef when I could eat it but I tried the tinned one from Aldi many years back and it wasn’t very good. A lot of gloopiness and connective tissue, not very tasty, kind of reminded me of how dog food looks and smells.
I’d eat it if I was starving (and able to digest meat) but it fell a bit below even my low standards :(
I wouldn’t be above one of the Frays pies though, they just look like tinned pot pies
They go really nice in the airfryer
Stick a fried egg on top. Trust me.
It was so good, thanks for the rec
Just chatting about journaling.
spoiler
I absolutely adore my diary from last year, it’s filled with stickers and washi tape and random colours where I’ve felt like it, along with noting all of the things I did like dinners out and drives we went on or even just things like the day Boyo lost his sunnies in the bay. It helps that it was a Kikki K creativity diary and while I didn’t utilise it to its full extent, it did inspire me with some of the prompts. I’m sad they didn’t do another one this year.
Lately I’ve been getting into junk journaling, but it’s felt a little harder because I feel like I want it always to be perfect, but I don’t know what that perfect is. I keep reminding myself that no one is ever going to see it unless I choose to show them.
Anyway, I’ve got it into my head that I want one of those little instax polaroid printer so I can print little pictures to add to my diary and journal, think I’m going to go and buy one after work.
There is no perfect journal. There is only your journal.
I love mine
Gonna take the dog for the arvo walk and by walk I mean take him out to the front porch where he’ll stare at me with the “What the fuck?!” look but at least he’ll stop with the “where’s my fuckin walk” looks I’m getting now.
I’ve hung the washing out and am having an iced coffee. When I finish my coffee, it’ll be time to bring the washing back in.
I just had an iced coffee myself. I contemplated doing some washing, but there is no way I’m going outside to hang it in this heat, you are much braver than I am.
Your planning was better than mine, I needed a sit down after I hung it and after I collected it! Even 10min is too much outside for today. I ventured out just now again to refresh the birdbath, and now I’m not leaving my aircon until the cool change comes.
My dad told me that I should hurry up and get a full time job or I’ll be washing windows on Punt Rd.
Why Punt Rd specifically mate, why aren’t you thinking bigger? 💪🤟
I’ve got a lot of nsfw stories about the window dudes at that intersection lol
Storytime!
There’s this guy called Neil who has been washing car windows on the corner of hoddle and Victoria since I was in high school.
Do note, Victoria Street is a heroin supermarket. Still is I imagine.
The idea is that you should probs talk to someone around to find out who has the best deal/strongest gear that day. Neil knew everyone, so I usually asked him first.
He said he could score for me and my mate.
Now usually it’s insanity to give someone cash and wait for them to come back but Neil is a fucking icon of Victoria Street. And he’s skin and bones.
Big surprise, he tried to rip us off.
We ran around the area looking for him, asking everyone and of course, everyone knows Neil.
We ended up chasing him up and down hoddle Street for about half an hour until he eventually fell over from exhaustion lol
He gave us back our money.
Alexandra Ave and Wellington is always choccas and the Wellington St lights take ages.
Royal Parade is shadier, and there’s median strips which could make the process safer. You could offer to clean the side mirrors too maybe.
Yes, Hoddle street has way more lanes. Reach for the stars!
funny you should say that
If you can learn abseiling window washing can be quite well paid. Great job for an introvert, just you, a bucket, a squeegie and a really long way down.
and cats. Cats love windowashers
How thrilling
Spencer Street 👍
ahhhh train cancellations and delays due to the heat. Never change, Melbourne, love ya 😂🥵
Dear cat jesus, thank you for letting me work from home today. I will dispense the appropriate treats to your people.
I haven’t heard a train in hours 😬I thought this might happen, it’s why my husband didn’t take the train this morning, could not rely on it in the afternoon heat
update: When questioned on how he pulled up this morning His Lordship’s response was a seesawing hand motion. Gym was skipped.
Thank god this gig tonight is at the Croxton. It’s close to home and has decent parking. Just as long as the air conditioner works well in there
Cool change is making its way across the Geelong plains. Should be here soon.
The wind has increased in my hood, maybe has dropped a couple degrees but still very hot. I think it’s going to be a gradual cooldown tonight.
I can confirm it has gone down 1° in the last hour.
My backyard max/min thermometer has gone down from 45 deg to 40 deg. Still bloody hot though.
I can feel it already
I’ll have to wait a bit, being further north. Bummer.
Just went up a degree in North Fitzroy. Help 🫠
Glad i decided not to head back to melbs. Currently 24 here in queenscliff. Got to about 40-ish but felt a lot cooler next to the ocean.
The WSW / soon to be SSW is bringing a lot of smoke from the otways though.
I am about to finish work and head home. Fingers crossed I survive
You got this 🤞
Good morning! Got an early start to try beat the heat today… hopefully we’ll be outta there before it gets too hot 🥵
Mate left at 5am to catch his flight, and immediately after Mickey came and started meowing at me. It’s too early, my furry son, and I have work 😭
But now I’m awake so that means coffee time ☕
Gym done, AC on, shutters down, so far so good, but dreading the afternoon.
Today is going to suck
I’ve turned the water mains off with a mallet because the outside tap has sprung a leak. Good news is I’ve had my morning shit. Bad news is I need a shower.
incidents like these are why everything is getting an individual shutoff. EVERYTHING. We have gotten very odd looks and “are you sure it costs extra…” from plumbers but I can shit in peace if the kitchen or brewery leaks.
Oh no! Hopefully you can mallet it back on should you need to use the facilities again!
Went to take the bins out and ran into neighbour doing the same.
He’s loving this heat, or so he claims.
He ain’t right in the head, is he?
I’m down with it. My low blood iron has me feeling cold more often than not. Today is fine by me.
Hearing ya with hypothyroidism!
And the rest of us are cooking slowly
🤡
I honestly think he just runs cold. He was running his fireplace into December when it was high teens/low 20s.
I don’t get it
he could have very poor circulation
That’s what I’m thinking
Does he walk around saying ‘how about this heat’? /s
Hahaha
sewing on a patch onto my new tshirt
That is so adorable!
It is? I don’t see people wear stuff like this, especially at my age, so I get a bit insecure about it. I dress weird …lol Think of this way, at my age I could shop at Katies or Blue Illusion. I actually shop at Dangerfield.
Mr Seagoon hasn’t seen it yet, I think he will like it. 🙂🚀🐈
Rock it, girl!! I love seeing people wear bright and interesting things or dressing however they feel. More and more I dress only for comfort!
It is very cool. Embrace the weird!
Love it
Love it! 😍
Thanks. I put the same design patch on a denim jacket too 😻it’s cute
