I'm at the vet with Miss Meow as she has been vomiting. We got to start with a fun game of hide and seek in the garden. Fortunately I managed to avoid claw marks. She is not impressed with the whole process. Edit: There was a goat in the waiting room! Miss Meow has had a blood test done and been prescribed some anti-allergenic food. Now I just need to wait and see for a bit more. Hopefully we g...

I hope Miss Meow is ok.

I hate it, getting treated like a criminal. (But it sounds like there’s gonna be a super nice platter at your place this week!)

Tonight!

Today i'm hunting wii controllers, making gyoza and springers. P's left for japan at 2am so I'm off the hook for a few weeks and took work off.. Partay is on! If I've missed anyone let me know. There will be a talking stick so you can both talk and defend your choice of music.

What time should we arrive?

Hopefully nothing! It was with my Miss, just an inability to eat kangaroo at a civilised speed

I think we are ok here. The current petrol price hike might be painful for some people, but big picture is that it’s tolerable in our economy. We are lucky to be one of the richest countries in the world and self sufficient in food supply. Also we can afford higher prices for essential imports compared to the rest of the world. No one is turning the lights out. Most of the current petrol shorta...

Thanks. I just don’t trust these leaders not to screw us

That means you get a nice new (and clean!) one. This is a good thing! Depending on the council you might even be able to just log it as missing online.

The new cutlery has arrived. It is impressively shiny, but extracting the 'display' set from the front of the box was quite a challenge, I had to use pliers to untwist the wires. Every single piece was also in an individual plastic bag which was a bit of a nuisance.

The old cutlery is in a bag ready to go to work, we are always short on cutlery there.

Fingers crossed for Miss Meow. 🤞

Melbcat had the same thing and still had issues on prescription food so if Miss Meow doesn’t settle or like it don’t be afraid to go onto the single protein grain free stuff.

If you wanted recs

For dry food, Meals For Meows had a recall but their Mackerel and Salmon was the go to. I went to Taste Of The Wild in Canyon River/trout and smoked salmon but if you can’t get it MfM is probably ok now. These ones are around the bottom of that category’s price bracket. Pricey but still probably cheaper than prescription and better quality.

Wet food was homebrand Colesworth in tuna mince, then Weruva in Steak Frites or Lamburgini. The fish flavours of Dine Desire or Fancy Feast Royale are not nutritionally complete but were tolerated as well.

I use BioBlitz to clean anything biological and a cheap black light torch helps find sneaky pukes.

Coles needs to calm tf down with the scan toilet paper first policy. The attendant at self checkouts today was so aggressive, patrolling the queue like she was searching for contraband and getting up close pointing at peoples trolleys and literary intervening at the checkouts, stopping them mid scan and making them put down whatever was in their hand loudly telling them to scan TP or soft drink...

Someone taking the job a bit too seriously. At my local they couldn't give a shit.

I figure you're probably not a "huggy" kind of person (I'm not either) but I would totally give you one of my physically awkward A-frame shouldery hugs right now.

You’re right, I’m not really the huggy type. But I appreciate this

I almost lost track of time & missed getting to the pet store. Fortunately they don't close until 6 so I was able to get Miss Meow's prescription food. Ouch that's expensive. It doesn't help that they didn't have the smallest bags, so I've got enough to keep Missy fed for a couple of months. I just hope it helps.

I'll check it out. I've found ways to make the screen snip work for me but open to anything better

Yup! Shogun has a heap of good releases.

I'm going to leave the music to you good souls though :)
