Ok our journal has been published which means I am officially done for the year now.
Mabel and I just baked some dog biscuits for her

And I’m gonna spend the rest of the day cleaning and reading ✌️
🎉🎉
Congratulations!
🥳
Are we gonna get more biscuit photography?
Your very own chef’s assistant!
She’s not very good. She keeps barking for the peanut butter and she’s gonna get the food health and safety department onto us with the way she keeps licking the work bench.
Lucky she’s cute.
Tell them Chef said you’re good.
What a good helper!
Congrats 🎉
What a beautiful pose!

Success!!! They came over and waited for me to prepare their food.
Biscuits complete!
I am giving a bag with one of each type of biscuit to my family, plus a tub full for my Mum and a tub for each of the two teams I am with at work. Plus a smaller container for me.


Thanks. I’ve just put on 5 kgs by looking.
Seriously. Bloody superb. And in this weather I would’ve been swearing by now. Well done.
The air conditioner has done a great job in making sure I keep my cool.
How can you objectively evaluate the taste quality without a volunteer who is unbiased?
Ooh, like your waffer stamp
It’s the first time I’ve used it! I bought a Tefal Snackmaker years ago, which is like a jaffle iron with changeable plates. It’s taken me this long to get around to actually making anything with these plates. They look pretty fancy though, I might have to try the chocolate version next.
I too would like to be part of the quality assurance / control team.
They look great!
Shit that’s a lot of effort though!
Beautiful!
Ooh yum! What’s the one with jam in the middle?
Thanks! Will give it a go :-)
I am so envious right now. They look amazing!
I just ate four for dessert 🙂
I’m unaccustomed to having no responsibilities. I pulled out the work laptop one more time earlier and then put it back.
After the period of unemployment, in which life was awful and I had no purpose, it’s strange to suddenly have “acceptable” free time. Paid even!

arghghhghhg slept in lounge because we’re still separating cats, proved once again that I can sleep through anything by waking up to a giant pile of cat puke next to head. Strip the jacquards off couches to wash, figure hey I should flip the cushions anyway, vac cushions, flip cushions, see dustbunnies, start vacuuming and now I’m fucking deep cleaning the loungeroom with a detour to deep clean the dyson because someone has been using it past the MAX FILL line…
Well now I’m lunchbreaking with tzaziki, how you doing?
Yesterday I was having a micro nap on the couch. I was facing the wall. Woke up. Needed a pee. Put my dead legs down and there was an almighty squeal. The kid woke from the other couch. The man came running. Yeah I had stood on the little dog who was snoozing on the floor beside me. I don’t think he has fully forgiven me.
My kid accidentally sat on the cat once, and the squeal he let out made me think he’d lost a finger. He had some nasty scratches on his legs (nowhere more sensitive, fortunately). The cat made no noise at all but vanished for quite a while after that
Oh no. Smart cat.
oh noooo and the worst part is they’re so betrayed and you can’t communicate to them it was an accident!
I know. He gave me a look of “why did you do that”?
My wife just came back to the bed after a month apart cause we both been crook. her cat wouldnt sleep in the spare bed with her, but refused to sleep with me either. within 5 minutes of the wife laying down her cat was back strutting around the bed like it was hers all along.
yup, they do that.
Still at work for a couple of hours. Looking forward to getting some stuff at Bunnings on the way home, then fixing the shower
Am also looking forward to sorting out the house (if I have the energy) as it’s trashed from end-of-year exhaustion
Cool. Got all my supplies for a super chill day at home. Fuck yeah!!!
WOOH! PARTY AT GIBSONS!
🎉
Do we need to bring anything?
Just yourselves :)
I am so drunk after today’s work event. I just need to wall 600m home. I can do this
I’ve been gifted the garlic dip.
Win win!
Urgh bushfire sun
Oooo fam, it is warm out there…
Also, on a things that 54!t me #6273874 tangent…
The lack of indicators…
Is it broken? I’m not a mind reader! Why the sudden brakes? Is it an emergency?!
Raaaawwwrrrrr!
Edit: Don’t even get me started on people who will come to a stand still in a lane in the middle of the road to change lanes.
”Nice indicating, dickhead!”
— An ancient Australian proverb
Onya fuckhead
It’s like you people are hiding in my car taking notes…
Yes. You pick your nose too much. Just saying.
Busted…
…can I add ‘people who turn left from the middle lane’ to this list?
I’m glad i would never ever shack up with anyone at work because they’re not my type anyway so even my dumbest lizard brain wouldn’t go there. I am giggling at everything right now and I’m in bed in a dark room. This is stupid. Fucking margarita did me in. Pray for me tomorrow. Thanks. I’m not sure how I’m meant to go to sleep rn. wow. Maybe I’ll watch site inspections YouTubes until my brain explodes.
Back to the happy place for dins:

Was given 7am start on NYE and 8am start on NYD. Good thing I don’t have NYE plans! Last year I felt sorry for myself because I was alone and all my friends were out with their partners or overseas lol. Now I don’t give a shit. Normalise not going out on NYE.
FUCK NYE, NYE sucks. Everyones got such varied expectations and tbh i’d MUCH rather sit at home, sink a drink or 2 take 5 minutes to reflect on the year that was then get stuck into a good movie or game.
This is the way!
I would do the same, but I’m a bachelor so must head out lol
Does anyone ever pick up on nye though?
Ehhhh sometimes lol
Yeah Nup unless it’s a guaranteed thing I’m not going into the city for it. Cause you know what IS a guaranteed thing? Toys 😂 and they are at home.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 fair call man lol
I don’t usually hook up with people when either of us have been drinking heavily.
A random new year’s pash is ok i think.
Just got told I’m selected for moving into a new team and learning new responsibilities alrdy. Starting early next yr :)
🙂
Nice work, you! Good to see they’re recognising your talents
I think I’ll celebrate by breaking my one meal a day thing with some triple cream brie tonight 👀
I reckon it’s full of protein, therefore very good for you :-)
Cheese on sliced apple is pretty nice without being too carby.
I think I’ll just eat a a whole King Island triple brie thing with nothing else
Yay! 🎉
I thought I’d lost Miss Meow this afternoon, but she was just in my wardrobe snoozing on my socks. Escaping the baking chaos.
