Planning my upcoming trip to Melbourne and the question is how many restaurants can I fit in across the five day period.

👢 Lining the boots up for a polish. There’s something quietly satisfying about the way newly polished boots look after you’ve given them a good buff.

🏉 Settling in to watch the Lions Vs Suns game. The only AFL match which matters this weekend 😇

📖 Bit overcast but reading my book by the river as it’s relaxing with the sound of the water washing against the river bank.

“Move your leg again and I’m going to get the claws out” vibe. 🐱🐈

#Caturday

A black and white cat called Ali laying on a multi coloured crochet blanket. Her head is resting on a persons leg under the blanket and she is looking at the camera. One paw is stretched out and laying on top of the same leg under the blanket.

When you’ve worked somewhere for a while, patterns are familiar. You can make a good guess what an all staff meeting at short notice will be about. Junior staff “do we have to go, I’m busy” gets met with “yeah probably a good idea to go to this one” from longer term staff. Tomorrow will not be fun.

The Cat is getting her annual health check and vaccinations. The vet sends more text reminders about the appointment than a doctor.

Couldn’t resist this bin chicken (Ibis) badge I found at the Queensland State Library shop.

An enamel badge shaped like the Ibis bird pinned to a jacket.

🍷 A pleasant 20°c evening and I’m sitting outside on the balcony enjoying a glass of wine and reading. A very nice way to wind down my day.

Off to do battle (work).

An enamel badge on a blue check jacket. The badge is snoopy as the WWI flying ace sitting/flying his red kennel.
