Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
I've got all my ingredients for my full english breakfast it's just a matter of when (which won't be for breakfast because I can't be bothered in the mornings).
Went out and managed to pick up some chicken drumsticks early in the morning with a gift card.
Also scored a free hash brown, yay.
Couldn’t sleep so went out early while it wasnt crowded so chicken’s on the menu tomorrow I think.
Had mostly vivid weird dream as well.
Something involving me telling someone off for blocking and emergency vehicle and not letting them pass then my boss pulled me aside to tell me I shouldn’t have been so angry with them and to calm down.
After some vacuuming, mopping and cleaning the outside of my windows I honestly feel like I'm boiling!!!
Windows aren't perfectly spotless on the outside but I've gotten the worst off.
What does everyone carry while out and about on a normal day?
For me, the standard keys, phone, wallet... and a 20k power bank, charging cables, tissues, mints, and a couple of items for my wife.
Phone, keys, ear buds, reusable bag.
Haven't carried a wallet around in years.
Depends if I'm travelling light or heavy. Light day out (shops or quick trip) phone, wallet, keys, maybe headphones or earbuds. Heavy (all day outing) phone, 2 powerbanks, charger (cable + brick), panadol, headphones, water bottle, light snack (unless I'm planning on eating out), change of underwear and sometimes shirt
I also keep a go bag in case things go south and I need to bail quickly which contains all of the above + 2 changes of clothes, some cash, a few snacks, and an extra powerbank (so 3 in total)
And I don't usually carry (but should): jacket, umbrella, and tissues
So many power banks. What's the capacity of each?
I'll talk to my wife about doing up a go bag or two together.
Phone, keys and a go-get'em attitude usually
Keys, phone, calico bag, mask, meds, lip balm!!!, work pass, purse, powder, loops, emergency sew kit, nail file, chewing gum.
Phone and keys mainly, a Myki card and headphones if I’m using PT. If I’ve got a shoulder bag with me, might have my wallet, gum, tissues, a snack.
Phone wallet keys, notebook, pens, water bottle, mask, earbuds, sunnies (I live in hope)
Edit: and a shopping bag that rolls up small
