My memories must be mostly cheese.

Still get very weird looks, even now I cheerfully announce "oh, I get baaad interactions with my brain meds, you know!"
🤣😉
Oh wait, maybe I'm just weird.
Don't care, don't drink anymore. Mostly don't miss it.

And so it was done! Thanks for the poll votes, team!
New haircut, who dis?! You can't see it but I even have three very subtle racing stripes cut into the nape of my neck.
Next appointment we're putting a few bits of rainbow colours amongst the curls. Just a few. Because I love my grey hair, but I think it's time for some colour, too.

Oooh I have heard this, but despaired of ever having one, so put this out of my mind. I'm going to have to work out how to do it!

Arvo, Toots. Day 1 of modified diet for minor procedures on Wednesday. (If You Know, You Know.)
No fruit or veges except potatoes with no skins, and pumpkin with no skin. I usually eat a lot of vegetables, and they're usually what I eat first.
And no porridge for breakfast! I've been having the same breakfast for years. (Yes, autistic eating patterns, breakfast is a hard one to shift, although I'm much more open to new foods these days.)
Thankfully only a couple of days of this, but arrrrrrrgggh!

The penguins are happy, even if motorsports are not?
(I'm so conflicted.)

Arvo, Toots. Looooooong morning on hold with Centrelink:
Navigate phone tree. Refuse to give voice print. Foxtrot music. Mock poppy synth. Guitar hero yacht rock. Choir of doom. Back to Foxtrot. Click, is that a human... Noooo it's a crackly mock Baroque. Back to Foxtrot. Random double use of choir of doom.
95 minutes aaaaand HUMAN!
Very helpful, pleasant human.
There was no way to do what I needed to do online, we both checked.
At least it's done.
I missed my Friday morning drawing class for this. Oh well. Had to be done, they could have fined me if I didn't let them know [redacted] within 14 days.
What a system.

Potato scallop. Yessssssss! And a pineapple fritter.
I am also occasionally partial to a banana fritter.
(I eat the fish just so I can have the good bits.)

Thanks for the migraine awaying wishes.
Yes, single sheets of .... Well, whatever, not necessarily paper, getting joined together into book structures. There's a gorgeous example by an Australian artist of a Plexiglass paged book, (can't find a link right now, stupid useless Google these days...)
And then there's the whole question of "What is a book, anyway?" Because ... That's a big one. (It's pretty much anything you say it is, is the answer, as far as I can tell.)
Anyway, yes, far more interesting right now than sewing single bed sheets, although I have got a pile of mending to do, too ... Nah. No rush on that, I reckon!

Yep. Remember that week you went away ... once? Last yearish? And there were trees? I mean, different trees, not just the same ones on the same block.
(sighs in Powerball ticket, eh. Not much of a life plan but if it comes off, ha!)

So, the Glenelg Town Hall - now the Bay Discovery Centre and Museum? Opened in 1877? Mr Edmund W. Wright was the architect.
But the builder, that was Mr David Miller of Glenelg, and that's my 3rd Great Grandfather. There's a plaque somewhere on the side of the building.
Gives my brother huge amusement to point out a few buildings still standing that bloke built, and other family landmarks around the place.
"Yeah, we've been here a while, not as long as some, but. Only since '54. 1854."
There are lime kilns still standing out at Tailem Bend that were part of the family business (Miller's Lime, run by David's son, Bartlett; Bartlett is buried with his two wives and his adopted daughter, Rosie, in Payneham cemetery, in a double plot I reckon some of us will use one day. Costs us enough to keep it, so we might as well.)
There was a big family reunion a few years back, I didn't get there, but a lot of other rellos did. Dad had fun, anyway.

That's a very cool (party line?) number!
Dad made me ride around the corner to the phone box and call home to prove I'd learnt the number. Mine had 5 digits.

Arvo, Toots! Interesting fact learned in passing yesterday - one of the many pathology tests yesterday (in the 13 tubes!) was for Vitamin C. (Yes I do eat my fruit and veg.) Anyway, once the vampire has the blood out for that particular test, the tube can’t be exposed to light, and it has to be spun up (centrifuged) straight away (well, after the phlebotomist has finished taking the other tubes) and frozen for transport! The fussiest test I’ve ever heard of! Isn’t that fascinating?
In case you’re wondering, yes, I was one of those kids who was given a microscope at a young age. But I utterly sucked (whoops!) at maths, gave up trying to it in high school, so doing sciences at uni wasn’t much of an option.

Thanks, Heather - Making sure I eat lots of extra good food for the next couple of days to recover! Gonks were a 1970s toy fad - some horrid synthetic fur with googly eyes stuck on? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonk

Home from Art Therapy - and yeah, may have over used the arm where the multiple tubes were taken from at the Vampire Shop this morning, because I am a doofus sometimes, and picked up my heavy bag (art journals, water bottle, pencils, plus usual stuff for a day out - you know, wallet, phone, muesli bar, gonk, backup gonk (cheers if you can spot that reference)) because I realised I had bled a bit, when I was leaving my first meeting.
Just a teeny bit. Slapped another bandaid on there (from the bag of backup everything, obviously) and it stopped.
Sigh. Hope the tests find something, eh?

Morning, Toots! Just back from the very nice, pain free, local vampires. Had to wait 20 minutes once I got there - a requirement for one of the tests. (Why? I wonder. Did my corpuscles have to be calm??!!) Anyway, it wasn’t 14 tubes - only 13! 🤣 And I knew yesterday there would be rather a large, non- rebate-able fee associated with one of the tests - what can you do? (It’s covered in my budget, so all good.) Onwards!
