I had one of those super vivid and engaging dreams that was so engaging that I snoozed my alarm 5 times (over 50 minutes) to get to the end of it. Felt like a therapy session that I didn’t want to leave hanging.

E: also this is the first week in a while I have worked every single day. I am pretty sick of it. Next job definitely has to be part time…

I dreamt Mr Seagoon was reading one of his stories to people but they didn’t know he wrote it. I was totes proud of him. 💗

And then I went to a second hand book shop /old library to look for ancient travel books but they didn’t have any. There was a totes cool planetarium of Earth but there was only one person looking.

But I did find a bunch of lost jewellery in a corner off the marble steps and some of it was cool. Then I felt guilty about finding it.

Then Ted Cat meowed in my ear and patted my hair. Time for first breakfast.

I wish my dream was so cool! I mean, I’ve had other cool dreams before, but this one was more about revisiting many people and places in my past as an adult and actually rewriting the story of how I relate to some of them. Also v good though and wish I had more of thosr

I’m annoyed. I have not done anything to deserve getting a cold. Last two times I caught something I went to a memorable event. I have been staying hydrated, eating fruits and veggies, and exercising. What do I get? A sore throat now and a cold coming up.

What’s a froze? I think this is important information, given what the weather is going to do next week. Unrelated but maybe there is a connexion, I have just tipped over my glass of wine into my spectacles case. Bugger.

A cross between rose and a slushie! I bought it thinking that it wouldn’t be very strong and would be more for the looks, but god damn is it boozy.

They sell them at The Mitcham Social, if you’re ever out my way.

Fun fact, alcohol freezes at something like -114 Celsius - so drinking the liquid from a frozen wine drink leaves most of the water in the cup and a high alcohol content liquid in your tummy.

Another fun fact - this method is used to make those super yummy German dessert wines, aka eiswein (icewine).

Oooh must try that! Mitcham is a bit out of my orbit, but it sounds like something that will take the whole town by storm this summer. So here’s hoping someone local gets onto them.

For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the waters increased they lifted the ark high above the earth.

Enough already. Thou shall bring the sunshine to to the people asap.

And yea, on the 41st day the waters still fell, as it was a lesson to all those who cast doubt upon the BoM.

Be careful what you ask for. Look at the BOM forecast for Mon & Tue next week.
