Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
just tried Hello Fresh for the first time because a friend sent me free boxes.
It was....fine.
Lots of packaging for stuff I have in my kitchen anyway, and a very simple meal. Taste was quite nice.
edit: also, huge calorie load compared to my normal meals.
Iโve always avoided these sort of things because of the terrifying quantity of packaging a friend showed me was involved in one she tried. Single apples do not need a nest thing and a vac bag!!
I finally saw another car the same as my own on my way to the supermarket! As in the exact same model (50 year anniversary model which only comes in 1 colour which is unique to that model). I beeped at it. Twinsies!
I went off to Coles because I've been sugar deprived and wanted some Malteser bunnies. Saw a young chick stacking the Easter shit and she asked me what I wanted and I told her and she picked a bag and I said "oh no not the kitkat they're shit. All I see is a sea of purple". I swear it just flew out. I thanked her and walked away then it dawned on me that perhaps she was a Cadbury rep and that's why she was wearing purple. Oops.
Anyway "WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY MALTESER BUNNIES COLES? I ASK 3 DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND THEY SENT ME TO THE PURPLE. SOMEONE WILL GET HURT".
You wanted bunnies specifically right? Not eggs. For that authentic bunny flavour.
I ended up with one of those. Not the same but I got desperate.
Livin large in the East.๐
Ohhh THEY'RE ONLY LITTLE! I was looking for big bunnies. Now I'm not sure if they had any.

and thus concludes my Easter egg hunt for the year. Thank you.
You're welcome
They seem to be all sold out online. Please don't hurt me.
No way. I've put the call out to 6 of my closest nearest and dearest. Hopefully someone comes through.
Don't stand too close to me bacon. Shits about to fly.
I've made the switch from Spotify Premium and have finally taken YouTube up on its offer of a free 2 month trial of YouTube Music which comes with YouTube Premium. I was already blocking YouTube ads on my PC but it's nice to not have ads on my phone too.
Not 100% sold yet on YouTube Music but I haven't really put it through its paces. I've only played some of the curated playlists. I was concerned about the lower audio quality than Spotify but experts online swear that YouTube Music do some magic to make it sound as good if not better so here I am, trying it out. Quality sounds pretty good to me so far too.
Movie review.
The Seventh Seal with Max von Sydow. Youtube.
Set in Medieval Sweden during the Black Death a Returned Crusader, his squire and a troupe of mummers meet Death.
The story is about life, life is a mirror of our soul.
4.5 hobbits
I should add this is art, has been incredibly influential, often referenced in other movies and nearly every scene is an image we all know
There has been a huge solar flare and there might be another aurora tonight. Best times are between 10 pm and 2 am. Hopefully the full moon won't interfere too much. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/mar/25/southern-lights-could-be-visible-across-southern-australia-tonight
Someone wandering on the train lines just outside north Melbourne....could be a few delays
If my garden is rockery style with large rocks, fifty spiky grass bush things and kangaroo paw, cornflowers etc really arenโt gonna mesh in there are they? But the house has formal hedges โฆ.
cornflowers would look lovely in your garden and not out of place, growing up I remember blue native lilies growing in paddocks
I have a crazy theory.
The story of Ford vs Ferrari is exactly the same story as The Hobbit

Anyone got a good removalist they can recommend, please? I don't need it for the whole house, just some of the heavier things. South East burbs, if that helps!
We used Andy from here to move my Mum's heavier things a few years ago. We usually move everything ourselves, but after you've hit 40, it's time for the pros to do the heavy lifting.
