The way I forgot that this was a news satire website and read this article in absolute horror 🥹🙃🫣
I had to set my alarm so early today - because I‘ve been rostered on to work at a branch I don‘t particularly care for (🫣 their morning shift begins a whole hour before everywhere else - which I would struggle with at the best of times… let alone on day 3 of daylight savings time)
Happy October 3rd to those who celebrate
I‘m… not sick of this meme yet 😉
I‘ve got theories, I‘ve joined dots that may or may not be dots - I‘m living this meme right now… I WANT ANSWERS!
Disappointed to see a Starbucks opening in the suburbs of Melbourne.
Do they not remember losing 105 million dollars and closing 61 locations the last time they tried convincing Australians that Starbucks was good?
IYKYK
Is this a bribe to not complain about getting September releases to order at the end of September? Or a reward for being so brave about coming to work? 🧐🤔
This order note is a whole mood
This little one is growing new leaves for spring!!!
FINALLY got around to watching this and it wasn‘t the train wreck I was kind of expecting (which is my default level of expectation for adaptations of books I loved reading)
BUT THEY CHANGED THE BREAKFAST SCENE!!! and that is a crime (there was also extensive time line change ups which made it feel a bit shallower IMO and nudged it into instalove territory)
Hanging up my entire shoe collection to dry in the rain … like a normal person.
Totally didn‘t say to myself, “this rain won‘t last” and put on another load… that I then also pegged out in heavier rain… that would be ABSURD.

David Wenham is in a production of A Christmas Carol… not going to lie they had me at “David Wenham” - roll on December!
Team Diver Dan forever!
Little Miss I‘m Gonna Regret My Shoe Choice Two Days Running 🖤
Feat the small scar from falling down one (1) stair recently and the ever present lint on all my clothing courtesy of the communal laundry in my apartment building.
I completed the working weekend. I have two days to recover and then I have to go back. What a scam. (Coming back to work after a lovely holiday is always a bit rough)
It‘s “what maniac put ratty books on the graphic novel display shelves and now that I‘ve seen it, I have to fix it” Sunday!!!
(I didn‘t take a before photo - this is my not ratty and not marvel updated display)
(I want to go home)
Spending all my money on theatre tickets at the moment - what a joyous show this is 😊
pickI spotted this while browsing in a bookshop yesterday - and in a rare moment of restraint, checked to see if it was available at the library instead of just buying another book to sit on my giant to be read pile. So obviously, I started reading it via BorrowBox on the tram ride home & have since finished it. This is a uniquely Australian short story collection and I enjoyed it a lot, even as I whispered WTF more than once.
My badges finally arrived! They got stuck in 🇺🇸 - wasn‘t expecting an Australian based artist to use an American distributor - but hey - now the postage cost makes more sense.
Extra excited to wear Monique Ryan on a badge - since I work in her electorate!

I think maybe I should have purchased this hat
Eddie Perfect, my beloved!
The Australian cast for 9 to 5 is pretty damn amazing!
I haven‘t seen the movie but I endeavour to always say YES to going to the theatre (especially if it‘s at my Grandpa‘s suggestion because he‘s always happy to buy the tickets) - and I‘m so happy to have seen this - it was actually hilarious!
Recommended to all Melbourne based Littens!
My favourite part of having this slightly awkward photo taken was Mum teasing Pa about his history of cutting heads off when taking group photos 😂
He was all - that was a long time ago 😂😂😂

My Mum insists that she spelled my name how it sounds… so this was extra funny to me - since I was out to lunch with Mum 😜
After being on holiday, in a different country (where tbh, being vegetarian wasn‘t that fun) I‘m once again counting my foodie blessings just by being home in Melbourne and having so many glorious glorious options.
Wish I‘d heard about this a little bit earlier…

Cool cool cool cool cool no doubt no doubt - it says I have 3 hours tho 🙃🙃🙃
Update : I worked out how to send it to my kindle and was able to finish it that way 🤪 no mean feat working that out after a particularly happy, happy hour 😉
Has anyone been watching Rings of Power? I find myself not overly curious… but haven‘t ruled out watching it one day.
If it isn‘t me, reading a book that I bought this year 😆
Everyone around the pool had their paperbacks out - so I ditched my kindle to join the cool kids 😎

Trying to build a magic school is turning into quite the headache for the second most powerful mage, Garrett - the Grand Sorcerer keeps going on side quests, some students are missing and Garrett‘s just about to notice that he‘s actually fallen in love with the handsome Prince Alexandre.
I think this is a prequel story to a full length novel - set in the same universe which I‘ll be adding asap to my kindle library.
pickThis was such a sweet SWEET cozy fantasy read - when basically blind without his glasses Tyri is rushing to a job interview, in the rain - it‘s just his bad luck to be knocked down by a stranger - now soaking wet and with his glasses broken - the best he can hope for is being able to find his way home to his little sister… obviously things take several turns for the better 😉
I wish this had been longer 🥹

Hmm.
I personally, LOVE TO SEE IT!
Honestly hope this is the energy we bring when the current EBA expires - these legends have knocked back a lowball offer and held steady for a year!

I laughed for a solid 5 minutes after reading this.
Remember when a large group of BBC Sherlock fans believed that there must be a secret episode coming - that they wouldn‘t just leave it like that? GOOD TIMES!

I‘ve been listening to the music on my long abandoned Apple library - and so far it‘s been a delightful walk down memory lane - a musical time capsule.
Can‘t believe I‘d forgotten how hilarious Flight of the Concords lyrics are….
Another positive for working the weekend (aside from its proximity to a rather lovely bookstore) is that it‘s also within walking distance to a Brumby‘s bakery… once a prolific chain - they are now fairly rare - which is a shame because they do pies & pasties and apparently these sultana & cornflake biscuits… you wouldn‘t catch me eating a bowl of cornflakes but they work brilliantly here!
