Gotta get up early tomorrow to get to the airport but I did book valet parking so that's one less thing I have to deal with at least.

I am taking 3 (physical) books to Melbourne with me: 11.22.63, The Handmaid's Tale, and Metamorphosis.

But I also have books on my phone to read.

“Handheld meat pies” could be a lyric in a NZ ballad I reckon.

Do I think Satan has some good ideas? Yes. But do I “worship” him? Yes

PSA: there is a new TV show called Game of Wool: Britain's Best Knitters.

I'm watching the first episode on YouTube.

I have strong opinions on jigsaw puzzles - they are just not for me.
I enjoy Sudoku and cryptic crosswords.
At one point I thought I might be a colouring book person but I am not, however cool pictures from them are good for embroidery patterns.

Kind of linking up to yesterday's question for #SecretSantaAoNZ are you a puzzles, or activity book kind of relaxer?

Me trying to get dressed "who left this suitcase in the middle of the room????"

It was me.
I did it.

My gift for my #SecretSantaAoNZ has arrived and it's very cool and I would like it for myself and I think that's the sign of a good gift. Hopefully.
November 24, 2025 at 9:46 PM
People doing Secret Santa who are like "don't stress about it, just buy whatever", do you not understand that makes it more stressful??? 😂😂

Currently surrounded by clothes as I try and work out what to take.

Sigh

Promised I would pick the 14yo up from school today but I also only had 5 hours sleep last night so I'm having to fight the urge to nap.
November 23, 2025 at 11:38 PM
Mainly just board and card games ... but we maybe already have a few

Ahhhhh that moment when you realise the painkillers have kicked in
November 23, 2025 at 7:45 PM
Okay so maybe the expensive perfume was a good buy because it's now about 16 1/2 hours since I put some on and it's still there.
November 23, 2025 at 5:20 PM
Well of course it's going to be really cold in Victoria when we're going there
Of. Course.
