Came home from a work shift and baked scones. For Reasons.
Pic shows a plate with a pile of scones, another plate with a single scone split and topped with jam and cream, a pot of tea on a pot warmer, and a cup of tea.

Tea has been achieved
A rather large mug of tea is being held resting on Mim’s lap as she sits with her feet up in a recliner lounge chair. The mug is a handmade stoneware owl decorated with sculpted wing markings, beak, eyes and angry eyebrows.

Better than average way to spend a Monday morning.
Mim sitting in a lounge chair. She has faded purple and green hair, is wearing glasses and a red apple print dress and holds a cup of coffee. Sunlight is streaming in through the window beside her.View out the lounge room window showing the back of a wooden garden bench, some trees, a glimpse of the house opposite and brilliant blue sky.Sebastian is lying on Mim’s lap in the sunshine. He is a slim and sleek black cat. He has his face turned towards the sun coming through the window and his eyes closed.

Rather chuffed to have met @doctorow.pluralistic.net as he signed books after his session “Enshittification”. Lots of people standing in the line for that session had only recently become aware of Cory. Told them all to listen to his podcast.

Show me a picture that captures your essence.
A woman with short purple, green and faded pink hair, slightly mussed. Glasses. Smiling with lips pressed together in a sort of determined to be cheerful despite all “this” way. She is holding a very large handmade mug of tea which has been sculpted with owl eyes, beak and wings.

Tonight’s dinner was garlic prawns (cooked in olive oil and butter with chilli and parsley) with plenty of sourdough bread to mop up the buttery garlicky goodness. And some salad.
A small bowl of garlic prawns. Behind the bowl, out of focus are slices of sourdough bread, a bowl of Greek salad, and the cast iron pan the prawns were cooked in that still has quite a lot in it waiting to be served up.

I made beef stew with herb and cheese dumplings for dinner. It was good.
It’s a bowl of stew with three beautifully golden brown herb flecked dumplings half submerged in the gravy.

My lime tree still has limes growing on it. And I still have 5 frozen limes from last year’s harvest. And the damn thing is blossoming again! It’s possible that freezing over two dozen whole limes this year was overkill.
Nine limes in a wire fruit basket. Two mandarins can be seen beside the limes and some pears are in a similar basket behind them.Two fairly large transparent freezer bags containing at least a dozen limes each sitting in a large freezer drawer.A food processor bowl with over 1L of lime juice in it.A freezer drawer with one normal sized ice cube tray and two giant ice cube trays all filled with lime juice. The trays share the drawer with bags of various frozen veg.

Got my hair done this morning. Not quite what I was aiming for, but it’ll do till it fades. Experimenting with colour is fun and temporary 🤣🤣
Woman wearing glasses has her head turned showing the very short and very purple left side of her freshly cut and coloured hair. A glimpse of the right side shows chin length hair with sections of green and pink down the length. She is half smiling and looking at the camera with raised eyebrows.Same person, head turned the other way showing more of the longer purple, green and pink hair. She is making a silly nose crinkled mock-frowning face.

My bed is prime realestate on a sunny winter day.

Prawn and wonton soup for a late dinner. Got home from work at 8:30pm and then managed to cook. Yay me!

New glasses. Slightly more expensive than the car repair will be but much more enjoyable. And will result in fewer headaches.
New reading glasses selfie in which Miriam looks slightly frazzled which may be because she had a little cry over pranging her car. The glasses are rectangular?/square-ish plastic frames in dark tortoiseshell with hints of turquoise, and metal arms.New multifocals selfie. A bit less frazzled, half a smile. Tortoiseshell plastic frames with metal arms again, not as dark as the reading glasses and with lenses that are more square and a fair bit bigger.New sunnies selfie. Silver metal, large square-ish frames with grey toned lenses. Miriam is looking quite a lot happier now. Apparently having cute new glasses is good for soothing frazzled nerves.

Close encounters of the concrete pillar kind. 😩 I should have stayed in bed. Can only just get the door open wide enough to get in and out.

“If you see this post the most recent picture of yourself on your camera roll” This is how I answered my boyfriend’s “How are you feeling?” text this morning.
Mim is sitting on her bed in front of a window, she has wet hair having just got dressed after showering, her eyes are closed and she looks exhausted. She is wearing a dress that has a garden gnomes and mushrooms print on a dark green background.

Two short haired cats are lying at the foot of a bed. Jarvis, the black and white cat is half upside down, half on his side, with his back paws in the air, toes curled over, and front legs stretched out with head arched back towards his long tail. Next to him his brother Sebastian is a black blob on a yellow throw. In the background there’s a tallboy with a tv on top and a cat tower sitting beside it.Same bed, a few moments later. Jarvis, black and white, has relaxed from his stretch though the back paws with curled toes are still in the air. Sebastian, black, is now up and standing on tip toes doing a big arched back and tail stretch. We can now see the top of the cat tower where the boys’ mum Matilda, also a void cat who is almost indistinguishable from her son, is sitting loaf style staring out the bedroom door. On the wall above the tv hang art prints of Data with his cat Spot, and K9 from Doctor Who.

When I got home tonight after a 9 hour shift I kind of lost my temper a little bit. My kitchen was a disaster area. No one had brought the bins in from the street. The two people who had been home all day announced they weren’t able to cook dinner. So I just cooked for myself. #comfortfood

Today I finally made good on a promise I made almost two years ago and took my boyfriend to the beach. The facilities at Collaroy were excellent.

The lime tree that was given to me by my mum a little over 4 years ago is producing its first fruits. I have been patiently waiting for the first one I noticed growing to get big enough to pick. Today I decided I had been patient enough. I think this calls for a gin and tonic.

A small white cavoodle, whose short coat bears evidence of her mums’ amateur grooming, sits on a recliner footrest beside the outstretched leg of the photographer. She is staring very intently straight at the camera. Her floppy ears are held wide framing her face. She is almost certainly about to die of starvation.

Sebastian feels that Sunday mornings ought not be disturbed by the sound of lawnmowers. Even if it is nearly 10am.

Wombok salad with honey, lemon, garlic and soy glazed pork. Did not want to cook tonight but this was well worth the effort. #whatsfordinner

Kiri knows she’s not allowed to put her paws on the table.

Today my client didn’t have any medical or therapy appointments to attend and she didn’t have any urgent housework to deal with. So I said “How about we go somewhere nice?” So we did. Because it’s nice to leave the house sometimes for something other than necessary errands.

Ok, now she’s actually asleep and I am clearly stuck here for the foreseeable future.

Good morning. Sebastian and Jarvis are waiting for me to let them lick my empty yoghurt container. Kiri is waiting for a cat to risk descending to the floor so she can chase them. I am waiting for my green tea with mint to cool down enough to drink it.
POV I’m sitting up in bed with a half eaten tub of yoghurt. Sebastian, a black cat, sits at my feet watching me. Kiri, a white cavoodle, is curled up on the corner of the bed. Jarvis, a black and white cat, sits on a bench in front of a window. Outside sun shines on a tree and the houses across the street under a blue sky patched with grey bottomed clouds.

Jarvis woke me up at the crack of dawn wanting to get under the covers. Where he stayed for about 3 minutes before deciding he needed to keep an eye on the birds outside. Who were being very loud. He then alternated between those two states every few minutes until I gave up and got up at 6am.
