Picked up quite a few items from local artisans at the Makers Markets this morning. Christmas presents sorted, two birthdays sorted, and a few things for myself.

I set a budget, which I went well over. My excuse is I like buying handmade items and supporting locals.

I really wish the local convenience store would replace their “OPEN 7 DASYS” sign. It makes my eye twitch every time I go by.

🎁 Heading off to the local Makers Markets to see if I can find some handmade Christmas presents.

⛈️ Friday wind down. Sitting on my balcony with a beer watching the thunderstorm roll in.

A 22°c spring night with a cool breeze coming through and dropping the temperature. The perfect sort of night to sit on the balcony and read. Maybe sip a little glass of wine.

I think I will.

🍿 Off to a 40th anniversary screening of Back to the Future. Excited to see it on the big screen.

A screenshot from the Carrot Weather app. The temperature is 19°c at the top and in the middle it says - If you switch to solar power, just remember you won’t be able to watch porn after dark.

I have had family visiting since Wednesday night and have had to rearrange things in the apartment a bit. The Cat is not a fan of the changes or all these people in her space.

Not a good #Caturday for her. 🐱🐈
