    Once upon a time my daughter had eye appointments at the RCH every 3 months. Every 2nd visit there was eye drops involved. Usually she was very good at this but one time I was in a consultanting room and she refused to take them (little bugger) and a clown who was clearly going for a break stopped in and asked if he could help. After a few laughs we got the drops in and I mouthed “thank you” and he put his hand on my shoulder and said “you’re welcome” and I’ve never ever forgotten that. ♥ The staff and many volunteers really do a wonderful job there.

    Breakfassssst. Going to go for a look at Yackandandah on my way back today. I’d never heard of it but there is a new big sign on the Hume which mentions it… unless I just missed it all these years.

    Might stop in Beechworth for some Billson’s too. See how I feel.

    A chill day/evening of writing a new song and playing with cat/video games.

    This is the life.

    Also I bought a fancy light bulb that I can control with my phone. It changes colours!

    Really feel like I’m living in the future. Like that show “Beyond 2000” if anyone remembers it.

    Went out for dinner today and had to deal with an angry boomer.

    Dude was jaywalking with his missus nowhere near a crossing. I stopped and beeped to remind him he was a being a knob. He approached my car until I got out to have a polite chat.

    Somehow being half a foot taller and being 40 kgs heavier got him to apologize very quickly.

    He was very relieved when I shook his hand and said ‘its all good have a good night’

    I have done nothing but sleep and read (and a little bit of necessary shopping) today and yesterday. I have finally woken up with some energy and the relief that comes from realising it was exhastion/burnout creeping in not depression. Because sleep helped.

    Gonna spend the evening doing the rounds of the houseplants and staking/fertilising/checking 🥂🌱🌱

    Not a fan of the deals in the maccas app recently. It’s all ‘20% off your next order’ of some ridiculous amount or ‘free nuggets with any delivery’.

    I’m not going to do either of those. I never want anything in particular from McDonalds, I just want a treat from the crap factory. I used to check the deals and get whatever was discounted and that’s it.

    They’re getting smarter with their deals and using them to encourage you to do what they want you to do instead of offering cheap food. I’ll have to wait and see if they change their strategy

    Ah ha! I have remembered where I hid a dark Tim Tam from Boyo last week before he inhaled the whole box. 😺

    I got a can of yanky style strawberry Fanta on Monday and I’ve been waiting til I got better to try it. It’s actually really good. I don’t think I’m quite at 100% taste yet, but I do really like it. Deffo recommend if anybody wants a can of sugar imported directly from America. Only trouble is that it says “soda” on it, which triggers a deep seated sense of disgust inside me. Oh and it’s in fl oz
