I was super impressed by this lady's three children. She was less so.

Sorry if you read this

Had a long and realistic dream about a fire sweeping through the neighbourhood. We sat in the park (my friend insulting dinosaur furries to a highly offended guy being the one tip-off something was amiss), drinking beers as it all went up. The worst happened and it got to my house; dozens of volunteers helped me remove our prized possessions in time, as much as we were able, before the police moved us out. As the flames took my home and I watched in tears, surrounded by the kindness of strangers, what else played over the scene but the stylings of "Photograph" by Nickleback.

The first babies have fledged! And this House Finch baby that came with Dad tonight cracked me up. It looks like the kid that decided to sit at the adult table but isn't quite sure what's happening and pretty much ready for bed 😆❤️

I wanted a turntable to do clay sculpting on, but all the clay turntables were small/plastic/expensive, so at 4am I had a brainblast... what if cake-decorating spinny plate? It's even blue! I am SO smart

No takeaways this week...

Edit: Scale the Depths is real bad, that's a bummer.

Hot diggity!

Here are the new children. Sitting next to them was wonderful - ah, the dark mossy smells of native bush, extant even in such size and number.

They've given me an extra manuka which is CONCERNING.

tagged by @hideyseek thank you!! I like learning about people. @jadiealissia and @mein-liebling can talk about themselves if they'd like. ( •̀ ω •́ )✧

Last song: I am the world record holder for most-listener-of-this-song, and I know that for a fact. So upset these guys never released an album...

Favourite colour: Turquoise. If I had a house everything would be turquoise. And teal, robin's egg blue, peacock, fuchsia…

Currently watching: Ough I am not a TV guy. The last stuff I've sat in on was the show Criminal Minds, which was awful, and the last thing I willingly watched by myself was the short film Midori, which was about a young girl in 1800s Japan experiencing severe childhood abuse. Look up the deets on that one first if you want to watch it - the description for the video I linked is weird. It was still less unpleasant than listening to that nerdy guy from Criminal Minds read aloud the first paragraph of Wikipedia articles every five minutes.

Currently reading: I've got a stack of Stephen King from the second-hand store I'm working through. Easy and mostly fun. And am still working my way through Blood Meridian. Stressful.

Current obsession: Plonking shit in the garden. I bought a bunch of bulbs, including some I remember from my childhood I finally learned the names of (muscari), as well as some native plants that the birds and bees had better love…! The store said they'd pop a few extra in my already excessive order, so I'm looking at having a worrying amount of plants for my small property (that I do not own). I uh, may have bought a young kanuka. Lmao…

Currently working on: Making friends with the new blackbird that owns the land I live on. He seems quite charming so far, not like that young ruffian that chased off my thrush friend. I left a meeting early the other day, saying I had to go. I did NOT say "I have to feed my blackbird," but I was thinking it. Also a large gothic painting tentatively called "Spine." It was gunna have a dark background but I'm thinking of adding blues and flowers instead. Can't help meself.

Last google search: Podocarpus totara

Don't think this is what it's supposed to look like.

Current desktop picture:

It's a bit gentler on the eyes than the picture I'd previously used since the late 2000s:

Glamorous Ruster. My acrilic painting.

Hoping this fucked up nasturtium survives the winter. (*´･ω･) And the uh, rats. There's plenty of lemon balm to chew on, c'mon.

[xxnutcrusherxx]

Awesome thanks 👌

Youtube recs been really negative lately (CELEBRITY REMAKE WORST EVER POKEMON CHEATER BOOKTOK LOLCOW) so I've been doing this instead. Maybe when I'm done I'll take up bashing my head against a wall. ( ゜∀。)

Late autumn confused timing snowflake daffodil thing for you. ( ^-^)ノ∠※。.:*:・'°☆

Got a bunch of these from outside some lame vegan store and planted them around the base of Gareth (that's the kakabeak). Bought a bunch of bulbs online... none native but the bees should like them come spring. I think I'm the only household for a couple of kilometres that's heard of "plants" and "the ecosystem" so I have many responsibilities...
