A selfie of James. He’s squatting next to an orange hued solid timber bedside table that he’s made from scratch at trade school.

I bought three 1960’s printed tiles at a vintage market in Warrnambool a month or so ago, got them framed up and just picked them up from the framers. I’m STOKED, they look so good 🥹🥲
Three square tiles sit on a wooden dining table. The tiles are printed with monochromatic colours depicting a fireplace setting, vintage items from houses of yesteryear and a small village setting respectively. They’re framed with a thin timber frame that has a darker stain.

TGIF. I’m gonna get stoned, drink beer and play board games with my friends 😌
A selfie of James. He’s twirling his long hair with his left hand out of frame of the photo. His eyes are closed contently, with a smile on his face.

I watched one (1) episode of the new season of Return to Paradise, and fittingly it was a murder that occurred when a bunch of people were high on hallucinogenics. I spent most of the episode on the couch like this:
A still from a movie featuring actor Leonardo Di Caprio. He’s sat in a chair holding a can of beer and cigarette in one hand, whilst leaning forward and pointing (presumably at a television) assertively with his other hand.

Only took me two full days, an absurd amount of coffee and going more insane than usual, but both work inboxes and the work to-action lists are all down to zero. I could cry.
A selfie of James. He’s holding his hand up to his forehead and staring beyond the camera. His eyes are lifeless with dark blue circles under his eyes. His head of hair and moustache look dishevelled and messy.

Genuinely very impressed with myself at half building this bedside table from scratch at TAFE. Just the table top and drawer to assemble, plus sanding and finishing.
A photo of four pieces of timber on a wooden work bench. Other smaller pieces of timber, pens, pencils and rulers are scattered around the bench. Two sides of what will be a hardwood bedside table standing upright on a workbench. Rulers, other pieces of timber and a pencil case lay scattered around the workbench. A work in progress shot of a a half built bedside table. The two sides and back are assembled and upright, with the front cross rails missing. It stands on a timber workbench. The completed frame of the bedside table. It sits upside down on a wooden workbench, with its legs upright in the air.

Floor time because this dickhead left his opened beer in the kitchen, then mopped all the floors, so now has to wait till they’re dry to retrieve the precious malty nectar.
A selfie of James, he’s lying on the floor. His eyes are closed, left hand resting on his forehead. He’s wearing a mustard coloured button up shirt.

Okay. I’ve touched grass. Now what?
Photo of an expansive grassland. The grass is brown and dry, with hints of blue green blades of grass. What soil can be seen is an ochre brown. The sky is a light shade of blue, with thin, wispy clouds strewn across it.

Is my Animal Crossing character giving non-binary bear trade?
A photo of James’ Animal Crossing character in the Able Sisters tailor shop. The character is wearing a brown beanie, a horizontal striped jumper in bear pride colours (orange, black, white and yellow), pleather shorts with metal studs, and orange and black chunky sneakers.

Whoever designed these toilet roll dispensers must have been really horny for a pair of tits. There’s no other explanation.
A photo of a toilet paper dispenser in a public bathroom. The dispenser is shaped very similarly to a pair of breasts, with the toilet paper dispensed from the middle of where the nipples would be.

I told my hairdresser to make me look like Farrah Fawcett, and boy did he deliver 👩🏼‍🦱💇🏻‍♀️
A selfie of James. His face has an expression of pure joy, mouth wide open in a huge smile. His long shoulder length hair falling in wavy tumbles down past the sides of his face. A photo of James’ hair from the back, showing the wavy tumbles of hair cascading down his neck and over his shoulders.

The afternoon light catching the hair on the highest points giving the illusion the hair has been dyed.

Jake deciding 9.30pm was the ideal time to fix the ensuite sliding door when I’m trying pack clothes, some food items, toiletries and personal electronics may become my 13th reason.
Photo taken of a sliding door, off its track and runners. It’s been placed sideways on a yellow tiled floor, blocking an arched opening from a dining room to a living room.

Me every time one of my classmates tells me their age and it ends in “-teen” 💀😭🫡
Screenshot of Jamie Lee Curtis from the 2003 movie ‘Freaky Friday’, the image is subtitled “I’m like the crypt keeper!”. She’s starting straight into the camera, her hands are clasped over her cheeks as her face looks horrified.

A selfie of James whilst on the train platform waiting for a train. He’s wearing an ochre orange coloured suede jacket, with a white button up shirt visible underneath. A pair of Rayban tortoiseshell style sunglasses sit low on his nose, showing his green-grey eyes looking over the top of the frames. His long shoulder length hair is swept over his head.

Turns out my other boyfriend is a dirty and thirsty boy 😳 (Deep down I knew steam trains were Not Good™️ for the environment, but holy fucking SHIT. TWENTY SEVEN THOUSAND LITRES OF WATER?!
Screenshot of an Instagram caption from Steamrail Victoria, the caption reads: “Thanks for the support Hurstbridge. We had nearly 2500 passengers travel on our Wattle Festival Shuttles yesterday between Hurstbridge and Eltham. We look forward to returning again next year for the 2026 Wattle Festival. Across the 6 Shuttles and 2 transfer trips, our train travelled 275km, burned through approximately 5 tons of coal to boil around 6000 gallons of water. That's about 5.1 Tonnes and 27,000 Litres in modern terms”.

Saw my other boyfriend yesterday (Victorian Railways K-Class, number 183) 🚂
The front end of a steam train, showing the smoke box door, smoke deflectors, funnel and a large headlamp mounted above the smoke box door. The engine is a Victorian Railways K-Class locomotive, number 183. The locomotive has a yellow and red headboard labelled ‘Steamrail’. A side on photograph of a Victorian Railways K-Class steam locomotive, idling at the platform at Flinders Street Railway station. Some steam can be seen billowing out from underneath the front end of the locomotive. The steam engine is a deep blue colour, with black accents and brass banding around the boiler and valves. A close up photo of the Westinghouse valve on the side of the front end of a Victorian Railways K-Class steam locomotive. The valve is made up of lots of components, with copper, brass and cast iron pipes and cylinders arranged seemingly haphazardly. A Victorian Railways K-Class locomotive sitting at Hurstbridge railway station platform. Steam and smoke can be seen blasting out of its funnel, with its incandescent headlamp glowing bright orange and its yellow and red ‘Steamrail’ headboard clearly visible. Behind it in a siding is a Melbourne Metro trains X’Trapolis suburban locomotive. Its white and bright blue sleek exterior contrasting with the dark blue and bulky exterior of the steam train.

Their chippies are consistently so bloody good. I love yellow / brown food 🤌🏻
A white cardboard takeaway food container heaving with bright yellow hot chips, with chicken salt seasoning clearly visible sprinkled over the top. Peeking out from underneath the mountain of chips is a corner of a piece of charcoal roasted chicken.

No new pictures, where are you mentally?
An image of Percy, a small green saddle tank engine taken from an episode of the children’s TV show, Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends. Percy is pulling a silly face, with his mouth is wide open in an almost perfect circle, and his eyes half shut like he’s mid-blink.

Taking the fact I’ve fallen ill as a personal attack on my being 😩😤
A selfie of just James’ head sticking out of the water of a bubble bath with pinkish water, his head and chin surrounded by bubbles.
