We made scones this afternoon and watched Maurice (1987), a gorgeous film I cannot BELIEVE I haven’t seen before. Hugh Grant at his floppiest! These scones are best viewed while listening to the Allegri “Miserere”
Six halved scones on a teal plate. Three are topped with lemon curd and cream, and three with strawberry jam and cream.

If you see this, you have to post a picture from your device without explaining it.
Two statues of kangaroos stand amongst green bushes. The closer statue is hot pink and has an ice cream cone upended on its back. The other is dark brown and looks like it is covered in chocolate sauce.

I spent the last two days being a Consumer and Lived Experience Representative and part of the lesbian-with-a-lanyard healthcare workforce at the Victorian State Government's Health Sector Summit. It was a pretty great experience!
A fat white person with very short dark hair, and black glasses smiles widely at the camera. They are wearing a khaki linen shirt with white buttons and holding a black bag over their shoulder. They are standing under a tree which is covered in green leaves. A fat white person with very short dark hair, and black glasses is standing with their head turned side-on to the camera. They are wearing glasses, a khaki linen shirt with white buttons, black jeans, white sneakers with hot pink and electric blue accents, rainbow socks, they have a hot pink carabiner on their belt, and they are holding a black bag over their shoulder. They are leaning on a walking stick which is covered in stickers and which has a pink wrist strap. They are standing in front of a brick wall, some lawn, and a tree which is covered in green leaves. A fat white person with very short dark hair, and black glasses wearing a white P2 mask is sitting in front of a cream-coloured curtain covered in grey flowers. They are wearing a khaki linen shirt with white buttons and a hot pink lanyard branded the Victorian Department of Health.

Me on my way to get 211 more vaccines!

Me every time someone asks about our Christmas plans: we’re actually having a really chill Christmas this year. It’s going to be really nice.
Actually me on the inside:
Black and white drawing of flames with the words “I think I’m about to explode” written inside.

Two pieces I made in art group over the last two weeks inspired by my chest infection 😄
A collage with a background of wavy blue lines. In the centre is the word Breathe surrounded by cartoon faces and woodwind and brass instruments. A pair of lungs made out of floral collage

Very pleased with this mixed-media remix I finished today of a frog I painted with watercolours last November
A very round, neon green cartoon frog with pink blushy cheeks sits on a lily pad made from crocheted doilies in different shades of green. It holds a crocheted mushroom. Around the frog and its lily pad there is a blue background with colourful flowers stuck to it.

Fans of Dance Academy who read adult romance novels (or even if you don’t - it’s just a great book!) I have a recommendation for you! I just finished reading Chloe Angyal’s Pas de Don’t and it was an absolute delight. I loved it so much it almost made me want to visit Sydney!
A book cover for Pas de Don’t by Chloe Angyal. Two dancers pose in the foreground with Sydney Harbour, the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge in the background. The dancer on the left is a man with shaggy dark hair wearing a yellow tank top and navy blue leggings. One of his legs is in a moon boot. The dancer on the right is a woman. She is shorter than the man, with her brown hair in a bun, and wearing a flame coloured tutu. She is en pointe. They are smiling at each other.

The AUDACITY of the NDIS to send me a satisfaction survey right now. I bet it doesn’t have a checkbox for “spent half an hour crying at my psychologist because of the NDIS yesterday” or “the NDIS has caused me to slip into a deep despair”
A screenshot of an email preview. The email comes from the address surveys.ahaconsulting.com.au, the subject line reads NDIS Participant Satisfaction Survey and the preview text reads Hi Clare, The National Disability Insur… (the text is cut off here)

I made some art today based on a birthday card I recieved last week that just happed to match perfectly with the colours of alcohol markers that own!
An artwork. The front of a birthday card is placed in the centre on the work on an angle. The picture on the card is of flowers and the text reads “Happiest of Birthdays”. Swirls of colour radiate out from the card, with the colours matching those on the card.

Ate early birthday cake and watched Dungeons & Dragons with some friends today. (Cake by Miss Trixie Drinks Tea)
A round pinky-orange cake covered in lollies. The words “happy birthday sweets” are written on it in black fondant.
