Two hours, 249 steps, two beers, and a 27.3cm scaled up Santa mini figure appears.

Lego pieces sitting on a white table with the build guide behind it. The guide shows a Santa mini figure on the cover. A Lego Santa standing on a table. It’s based on a standard Santa mini figure but has been scaled up to 27.3cm in height.

Team planning morning and they have a habit of getting way down into the micro detail. I’ve told them they need to stay big picture and I’ll be ringing the bell if they don’t.
A bell sitting on an open notepad with a red pen laying in front of it. The bell has a black handle and a yellow base with “Ring for a hug” on it.

I really need adult supervision when I go to the comics and collectibles shop at Chermside. I had none today and the Doctor Who collection just increased.

I’m happy though so pfft to supervision.

A rectangular box with a clear plastic window showing three silver cybermen and a cybermat inside it. The box has the BBC Doctor Who logo in the top left corner. Along the bottom is “The Fourth Doctor” and “Revenge of the Cybermen (1975) Collector Figure Set”. The bottom right corner has a gold “Limited Edition” and on the right hand side it indicates 5.5”/14cm scale.

Carrot Weather sounding a cautionary note about the downside of switching to solar energy.
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.

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.

Being from Australia I’m a firm believer in Halloween being imported US nonsense. However, I don’t do bah humbug at work and go along with whatever is planned.

My contribution will be these two meerkats on my desk thanks to the Aldi aisle of dreams (special buys) this weekend. 🎃
Two plaster models of meerkats, about 20cm in height. The one on the left is wearing a pumpkin like a barrel, with the cut off top as a hat. The one on the right has a purple witches hat and cloak and is standing behind a black cauldron they’re stirring with a big ladle.

Trying out some new tea I picked up from McIver’s shop at the Victoria Markets in Melbourne.

I picked the (It’s A) Bolshie Brew mainly because of the name. It has a good smokey flavour which isn’t overpowering and is a blend of Lapsang and Assam.

The Miner’s Tea is very similar to Yorkshire tea.
Two brown paper packages with tea inside. The labelling is the same for both and the top has two lines - “McIVER’S” and “Tea & Coffee Merchants” underneath. The bottom half has the name of the tea and indicates the tea blend and where it was blended. The packet on the left is “(It’s a) Bolshie Brew” and on the right is “Miner’s Tea”.

Happy Tuesday!
A small noticeboard in a foyer. It says “Happy Tuesday! Why don’t tigers eat clowns? Because they taste funny!” There’s a hand drawn clown at the bottom.

WFH is tiring. The supervisor was sleeping on the job today. 🐱🐈
A black and white cat called Ali asleep on her bed. The bed is a lambs wool topper from a mattress thrown over the top platform of an old cat tree. A blue wall is in the background.

The new Translink app is a garbage bin fire. You can’t even look up a timetable within the app, it sends you out to a browser. Whoever developed this rubbish should give their fees back. I quickly switched back to the old one but sadly it has finally been removed.
A screenshot with a message saying - Please upgrade MyTranslink. MyTranslink is no longer available. Please download the new Translink app.

Eight years ago I collected Ms Ali from a local cat rescue and brought her home. She promptly made herself at home and decided my lap or alongside my legs was her favourite place to sit and it remains so. It’s taken most of those eight years for her to grow into her big ears. 🐱🐈
A black and white 1yr old tuxedo cat called Ali sitting in a man’s lap. He’s wearing black shorts and white T-shirt. She has big wide green eyes, long whiskers and ears that look too big for her. A black and white 9 yr old tuxedo cat called Ali is sitting in the classic cat loaf on top of a big black box. She has big green eyes looking at the camera.

Public holiday so a morning walk instead of an afternoon one. Admittedly to have a coffee and an Ekka (strawberry and cream) muffin.

Offset by the 40min walk there and back I tell myself.

All things in balance I tell myself.
A table in a cafe with a muffin in baking paper wrap in the front of the photo. A large smear of creamy icing with sliced strawberry on top. Behind is a latte in a glass. In the background is the counter and cabinet with treats.

Truth. 🐱🐈
A metal badge pinned on a green jacket. The badge is shaped like the head of a cat. Pink around the edge there is a light blue centre with a white cat paw straight up from the bottom with pink toe beans visible. Dark blue lettering says - No beans like toe beans

Long day but headed home now. I love the river at night.
A view from the back of a river ferry at night. The wake visible in the reflected lights of the city. A lit bridge across the river is on the middle with illuminated city buildings behind.
