Got the OCD as a maladaptive coping mechanism for a bunch of other stuff.

First harvest of peach season. Every branch with peaches on is overloaded and breaking or broken... There's no point in actually picking the things, just shake the branch and rake up the windfalls...
Two buckets full of peaches A singular peach tree, covered in peaches. Half the tree appears to be broken at the base and laying at an angle.

Also, I should note that it's so hot here in Canberra right now that the dog who is partially solar powered does not want to be outside in the sun.

He also forgave me pretty quickly for the bath.

Please mama, if I do a very good sit you won't make me go in the bath?
A very large brown dog with visible dust is looking pleadingly up at the camera. He is sitting and refusing to move. There is a bath with a shower hose running in the background.

Also, a harvest.
A soup bowl filled with tomatoes and capsicums, with a couple of sprigs of basil. The tomatoes and one red capsicum are stripy; the rest of the capsicums are yellow and orange.

Added a couple of strawberries and used the caramelised fig balsamic vinegar I brought back from NZ instead of the lemon juice and honey. Totally worth it. There's one apricot left on the tree and that's it for this season.

Apricot season and a tree in a pot means I get to have fresh apricots (washed and with icky bits cut off) quartered, sprinkled with lemon juice (from the tree out the back), and drizzled with honey (harvested 25km away) for dessert tonight.

I have been cleaning out my office this year end break. Amongst other things, that means asking my husband to do the things in the rest of the house that involve things I stashed in there because asking is hard. Like hanging this, which now lives on the inside of the toilet door:
A copy of part of the long-term nuclear storage warning message, rephrased to include 'in this house, we believe', in gold on white and mounted on a beige surface. Full text reads: "In this house, we believe: This place is not a place of honor. No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here. Nothing valued is here. What is here is dangerous and repulsive. This place is best left shunned and uninhabited."

A large brown dog has his head and paws resting on the arm of a couch. As he stares over the shoulder of the kneeling photographer, one jowl is caught on the paw nearest, so he looks like he is smiling.

Does favourite human have foods I can lick?
A large brown dog is curled up on a couch, his head turned to look as far left as his curled-up-facing-right body will let him. His underbite makes him look like he's pouting.

Walking the dog this evening, and no platypus sightings *sigh*

BUT: four wombats! FOUR!!! And a rakali!

(Photos are of two teenage wombats and one adult female; the adult male was spotted cos he ran away through the shrubs while I was recording a frog going off for FrogID)

#wombats #queanbeyan
Adult female wombat sitting down at the edge of the mown grass area between road and river. The steep slope down to the river behind her is not visible. She is spotlit with a torch; it is night time. Sub-adult wombat walking away from the photographer down a slope at the edge of the mown grass area between footpath and river. The steep slope down to the river behind is not visible. They are spotlit with a torch; it is night time. Sub-adult wombat sitting down in the middle of a mown grass area between road and river. They are spotlit with a torch; it is night time.

Wombat down by the river yesterday.
A wombat is standing on a grassy riverbank, spotlighted by a flashlight/torch. In the background, the lit up buildings on the other side of the river are reflected in the water, but this side of the river is dark. The photo is poor quality due to the poor lighting.

One of the cool things about it being school holidays is that there are all these fun things that are totally intended for but not exclusive to kids. Like the bug show I went to today at the Botanic Gardens.

This stick insect as long as my forearm is native to the Canberra area 😁
A brown stick insect is hanging off the underside of an arm, pretending to be a stick. Her body from head to tail is about the same length as said forearm from elbow to wrist.

I want my teddy bear.
A large brown dog is staring at the camera from his curled up position on a couch. All four legs are visible or partially visible but look deformed from the way he is sitting in his pillow nest.

Snuggling while his favourite human talks to their parents
A large brown dog is lying with his head on a human's chest. One of the human's hands is holding a phone up so that they can talk on speaker. The other hand is resting next to them and not petting the dog. The dog looks exhausted by the tragedy.

He got out of bed when I called him to his breakfast, what more do I want?

We had to go to Bunnings. Will I be forgiven when we get back?
A large brown dog looks mournfully at the camera from a curled up position on the couch. He is surrounded by loose cushions and directly in front of the climate control.

Grainy tongue!

(Licking his leg. Loudly. Fortunately finished before his favourite human finished showering, because it's one of those noises that Does Not Stop and gets on Favourite Human's nerves)

I would offer a photo of my goober, but he is tucky-wuckied in bed and it is too dark to take good photos. So please have this grainy photo of his toes and nose peeking out from under his blankie

A couple of weeks ago, my boss got flowers and made up little bouquets for all her employees, just because. The gerberas are still brightening up my kitchen, because they're great cut flowers.

This is the dent from me dropping the bottle on my cars doorframe from eye height. There is a small chip in the car paint; that and this dent was the only damage. The previous bottle (cheap supermarket ware) smashed when I knocked it off my bedside table onto unfinished pine flooring.

I can highly recommend these water bottles - I can't bear the taste of metal and I get the OCD about water bottles that can't go through the dishwasher, so glass it had to be. So I bought 6x1L and 20x600mL from a catering supplier (it cost about the same as 3 cheap supermarket ones)
