Well I guess Sunday chores aren’t going to happen today…

Today, attempting to recreate my fave salad of all time, avocado, butter bean, quinoa, tomato, red onion + fresh lime juice.

I’ve given up on ever finding physalis / cape gooseberry ever 😭, so will try a mango coulis with it instead!

This is a picture of the above salad from a recipe book called Ceviche. You can see the salad plated
Into a stack, with dribbles of yellow coulis on the side. The plate looks like a natural ceramic on (rather than stark white).
The stacked salad is green, browny grains with butterbeans and coriander flecks, and the tomato and coriander is cut up very finely and stacked gently on top.

Oh woah that fabric!
My lovely mum has offered to buy me a sewing machine any times, I always declined after seeing her and my auntie’s stashes of fabric never used. I wouldn’t be able to help myself!! 😊

Yeah totally - funny I read your post as kids in homes with high household incomes can afford a diagnosis - whereas so many others can’t.

I often think of all the struggling little people where their parents can’t afford extra help - for allllllllll the diagnoses.

Far outgoing thru this in Aus (not for myself) the assessment is costing $4,900 dollarydoos.

Insurance doesn’t cover it.

When I was heading to Middlemore a bit I remember they had painted lines on the floor directing you where to go, so simple and better than random signs on walls occasionally. I’ve managed to get lost in starship just trying to get an X-ray sorted.

I was an 18 year old on the benefit. I’d crashed out of school with 4 school cert subjects, and living away from home. I was applying for any admin job I could, and sent myself on a computer course to certify skills I already had.
I needed a leg up, a hand from up the ladder, not a push backwards.

Some job-search “highlights” from an 18yo of my acquaintance:

- applied for f/t retail job, was “interviewed” via AI/video 🤯, didn’t get job

- applied for p/t retail job, was one of 3000, didn’t get job

- got short-term gig shilling vapes in malls (required own transport + lots of driving)

Grim.

This is so lovely.
Alt text-ish here!
The video shows a large, circular pool with white porcelain bowls of differing sizes gently nudging one another as the water randomly swirls them around. This installation is housed in a huge round gallery with a classically decorated, domed ceiling. Peace 🥰

In Paris, porcelain plates inside 18 meter pool filled with water create random sound symphony without human interference..pretty cool 😎

Getting scoped out by some locals today

Two beautiful rainbow lorikeets close up in a tree - I think it’s some kind of eucalypt.
They have blue heads and red beaks, and orange yellow red chests. They’re side eyeing the camera

“What are we having for tea?” Asks the 7 year old
“Ratatouille”
“Whaaaat? I don’t want to eat a rat and a tūī?!”

Horrified.

Maybe I should rename to “Bird of the year for dinner”

Absolutely f*!# this noise. I did a clinical trial for the RSV vaccine while pregnant 8 years ago to help stop the huge amounts of babies hospitalised for it - this is awful, and dangerous, and will absolutely inflame dropping vaccination numbers. This is absolutely awful.

Kitted up for the #breakers game today

A picture of legs! With orange and black trainers, and socks - the socks are black with basketballs on them. You can see a peep of grey jeans. The feet are standing on a concrete pavement

Needed a bit of sunshine today. Very much missing my garden full of freesias and daffs and tulips

A handmade, ceramic vase, with a few sparsely added freesias that are bright yellow. It’s sitting on a table mat that sort of looks like a star. Blurry in the background you can see four small white ceramic houses, that are different t iconic New Zealand houses, a villa, a state house, a stucco house and a bungalow. They have candle lights in the so it looks like someone is home

Even the local trees are supporting the hawks today

Gorgeous golden wattle flowers - they’re like little puffballs of golden sunshine on sage coloured serrated leaves
