chariots of fire at #75, i stg people vote this fucking piece in every year as a joke

listening to the classical radio's top 100 which has a "different theme" each year but features all the same works anyway because the budget for their repertoire has obviously been cut so badly for the past few years. the fun is guessing how close to the top each piece will feature. this year is even more ridiculously same-y because the theme is "greatest of all time"

we went to see the warrnambalds, the local riff on the national portrait prize. my packer's prize vote went for a $50 mixed media by a child honouring her fire-fighter dad (you can see it in the corner beside mum - orange and black with a figure in yellow) that had nice layering. there was a photographic portrait of my friend for whom i have been spinning a lot, who made the beautiful fisherman's jumper for a young niece out of some dk/worsted merino she gave me to spin - i am giving her some more tomorrow of a lovely lustrous longwool

i was going to take a pov shot of the dogs standing over me but i had to drop my phone to protect my face. they are full of love and also they're extremely scratchy motherfuckers. wilfred is by my feet (on top of blanket) and norman is my little spoon (under blanket)

good licence plate on the weekend

@intrazone requested hopeful posting so here it is: i'm visiting my folks this weekend and their dogs won't know that i'm coming but they are going to lose their minds when i rock up tonight. they are going to yowl with delight and scratch me with their little claws and norman will stand between my legs and shiver with excitement. it's a good feeling when the dogs see you

[grub-s]

it is always fun to see all the legs hanging out of puffing billy. been such a long time since i've ridden it but foraging around emerald means i get to see and hear the engine chugging fairly often !

[grub-s]

okay okay i know you want the gripes and not the hopeful posting. can't find either of my beanies and it's going to piss down today, maybe up to 35mm, and i'm going to be beanieless the entire time. appalling
