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. 🐱🐈

A black and white cat sitting on top of a bookcase glaring at something across the room.

Kids are wandering around doing trick or treat and 100 points to the boy dressed as Monkey. Gold circlet, painted on sideburns, staff and all.

My almost 89yr old mother arrives for a short visit tomorrow so I’ve just swapped out the smart bulbs in any lights she will use. It’s easier than them resetting and needing to be set up again after she flicks them on and off a few times. 💡

Teams popup: “We’d love your feedback”.

Pretty sure you wouldn’t.

Today is a normal, albeit rainy, spring day. Yesterday was not, at 37°c it wasn’t even a normal summer day. Very happy a change has come through.

A screenshot of part of the Carrot Weather app which says - Today will be 16° cooler than yesterday.

Two very damp currawongs using the undercover part of my balcony to shelter and dry themselves off. The Cat is doing the bug eyed chattering noise she launches into when she sees a bird nearby.🐦🐱

⛈️ Listening to hail ping off the buildings as a nasty black and green sky goes over. Strong window has blown over three pots but I’m not going out there to rescue them.

🍝 Walking home and made a random decision to treat myself to an early dinner at one of my favourite Italian restaurants because I can. I’m a regular and Stefan at the front door found me a seat at the bar.

🎶 Afternoon outing to the Cinematic performance by the Queensland Symphony Orchestra. Starting with the only thing it can - the main title from Star Wars then straight into the shark theme from Jaws.

I’ve started doing nine day fortnights as a trial until the end of the year. I have to say, this might become permanent in 2026.

I’ve done all my chores and the home stuff I’d usually do on a Saturday or Sunday; leaving the weekend free to relax.
