I felt something weird on my head and it turned out this bird was swooping me. It was sitting on a chair and I tried to take a photo but it swooped me again 😭😂

I met my friend’s cats yesterday, sent photos to someone else who thought they were my cats (last photo) 😂 Who else has the same set, a tabby and a black cat? I feel like it’s a common combo

I’m gonna need ya’ll the check your headphones because the WORST thing has happened to me. I put mine on this morning and felt something on my ear, naturally panicked, pulled them off, wiped my ear and an EARWIG WENT FLYING ACROSS THE ROOM 💀

If anyone sees any “don’t feed the birds” signs before Friday (Australia, so Thursday for anyone else) and you take like 5 seconds of video of one and send it to me I would be eternally grateful

Just like migratory birds return after the winter, I, too have returned. To T2 because they have free tea samples again now and I’m gonna drink them.

I was about to go to bed but Nashi was hunting something. She somehow managed to turn the lamp off and while in complete darkness the thing she was hunting decided my leg was the best place to be. That was terrifying 🥲 Luckily it was a tiny gecko that is safe and sound in a takeaway container

I have started leash training Nashi as she cries at the door while Nori is outside in the garden. So far she has: - Tried to eat a bee - Run at another cat while puffed up - Completely justified my decision to put her on a leash

It was 46 degrees Celsius and my laptop melted??? I think?? I didn’t even have it running 😭 I took it to get fixed and was quoted $1200 but then found out my warranty expires NEXT MONTH SO IT WAS FREE 🎉

On the weekend we lost Nara to cancer. Everyone in the house will miss her so much. It took a long time to gain that little cat’s trust and bring her inside but I’m glad we could give her a nice home for the last part of her life.

Lush is discontinuing my favourite bath bomb 😭 But they gave me one for free which was very sweet. If you want to feel like your bath is as nice as the water in the bathhouse from Spirited Away I recommend trying Lakes before they’re all gone 🥲

I had one of the most exciting and successful meetings today and it happened while I was wearing my vintage sun/moon dressing gown that has been referred to by those I have lived with as my “wizard cloak” and just I think working from home is a beautiful thing

I greeted an Uber driver in French (in Paris) and he assumed I spoke Spanish, saying “Español?” And something I didn’t understand. understand. When I got out, I thanked him in Spanish and wished him a good night, turns out he doesn’t speak Spanish he just thought I did and both of us were confused😂😭
