I think I’m just about done! Holiday SORTED!

Once I’ve figured out Christmas presents, I can go into the holiday period stress-free 😎

I woke up this morning to the news Afghanistan beat England in the cricket. It’s their second win ever in a World Cup the first being in 2015.

Big scalp too given England having won the last WC, right? Good on them!

England did win the last one against NZ. Afghanistan’s win is HUGE for them.

That also officially makes the Aussies the bottom of the ladder team at the moment.

I’ll probably only be able to stay up for one innings max unless a side gets bowled out early tonight.

If we lose tonight I think it’s game over.

I watched this video and thought I could eventually work up to it. Slowly.

How to do a burpee

I thought I was so smart putting my drink in a travel mug so it wouldn’t get spilled.

Cat tmi

Melbcat spewed on it, hit it bullseye along with the carpet. The concave cup lid acted as a little basin 🤢

It’s rinsed off and in the sink while I decide how best to deep clean it or whether I can face using it again after that.

The carpet has been blotted well and soaked in biological cleaner so hopefully that should be okay. I’ll scrub and reapply if I need to.

Edit: the spinnos look a bit less happy today. They’re still valiantly pushing up leaves but one looks very slightly chewed, others have tiny pale bumps and pin fine light trails on them, and a few look wilted with dark stems near the soil. I wonder if they’re damping off
