Having a worm farm alleviates some guilt when I empty the crisper on bin night

No amount of split squats can undo the chunk of cheese I ate for dinner tonight. Oh well.

Up early with good intentions to tackle the tax. Instead find myself pinned by puppies. Should I evict them to make room for the laptop?

For my first post-pandemic international foray I went to Iceland. More than a few other people had the same idea.

Sitting on a chair outside a restaurant at a suburban strip mall waiting for Sunday night takeaway. Feels reassuringly prosaic.

Watching telly on a Friday night. As you do. When an ad for #HYBPA appears. And I realise. The reason I like it so much is, I just want to hang out at the pub with the entire cast. Thanks for the giggles. šŸ™šŸ»

It’s 11:30pm at Brisbane airport and a lot of weary travellers are waiting for taxis. Is this standard now? (Also, if I get shafted with a mini van I’ll be pissed)

But I think they missed the point of the doctor/wife dichotomy. One is not necessarily better informed nor more capable of public discourse than the other. All labels - professional or otherwise - are a blunt instrument for human connection. @GU_socialcultur @julianneschultz

Tonight I was the doctor’s wife in a room full of doctors, who congratulated Australia for now producing more of the latter than the former. Still on a high after #ausvotes this panel hummed with cautious optimism, exploring race, gender, environment and class. (1/2)

In stark contrast to that last Tweet, I’ve finally removed six pairs of jeans from my wardrobe and bagged them for donation. There’s no doubting my vintage.

The Professor is in the US for a conference. Tells me his lecture was well received. The real highlight, however, was being asked for ID at a bar. He’ll be dining out on that for months.

Today was fine until Seek alerted me my latest job application has been marked ā€˜unlikely to proceed’, so now I have visions of some poor bastard sifting through resumes on a Sunday

When I was struggling through my law degree, working three jobs to pay rent and run a car, I didn’t dream of becoming custodian of my husband’s ironing

Yesterday I applied for a job, promoting my excellent comms skills and attention to detail. Today I found a throbbing typo in the resume attached. 🤯

Here’s my hot take on this fly repellent. It does not. (A dirty great blowie just landed on my forehead as I typed this. Cheeky bastard.)
