Well done on catching up on your paperwork.

So true ☹️ I seem to grieve just before the dates, rather than on the date. Brains! So odd…

Said I might be overtired, someone commented I’ve had a lot on.

Thinking on it - it’s not just no break since Tony died & the awful lead up.

Friday it’s 35 yrs since Dad died & the first time I haven’t had Tony’s support.
Next Tuesday would have been our 31st wedding anniversary.
So yeah.

That’s hilarious. And familiar.

I saved up hard while we were nursing Mum. Left her with Tony, went to Wgtn for a few days to rest, do Xmas shopping.

He rang, asked if I was having fun. Yes, why? Bank had rung, concerned about the sheer volume of transactions 😂

High five Westpac. Picked up fraudulent activity on my account & notified me asap. Spoke to them at 9am. By 9.30 I had a new card loaded I could access using Wallet on my phone.

Oddly its was a zero traction that they spotted - some fucked loaded my card onto Amazon to go shopping!

Not Covid. Will retest tomorrow. Might just be in need of a holiday (booked for May).
Haven’t had a break since Tony died, and that was a long hard slog.

Been feeling pretty mediocre. Came home and had a sleep. Vague cold but everything tastes odd. Doing my first Covid test in ages.

There was always a risk, if the response worked well, people would say “see, it wasn’t serious & we overreacted “!

Sigh

Keep resting as much as you can 🫂

The bank picked up a fraudulent transition my account this morning. I appreciate how quick they are. But now my card is frozen of course…

A love of orange Part of the course I’m doing involves looking, really looking, at what you’re creating. What do you love, what sparks joy? Find the things you love and do more of that. I’m onto the second part of …

Oh my god! Just nope….

If I put my intentions over water it’d probably boil, or turn to gin….

omg she can fuck right off. Completely disconnected from real life.

The Police are over the road again. It’s going to be one of those weeks apparently. Sigh. ☹️

Thanks for that - off to explore.

That’s my feeling. Line it. Ranch slider, new window or two. Shower & composting toilet & we’d be fine for a year or two.

Out at the farm. We have ripe blackberries!

Out at the grazing block. We were thinking of building a garage to live in while we build a small house. There’s a 13x6m shed we could line. Pretty? No. Cheap & useful? Maybe. Hmmm.

Can someone remind me, a few hours ago, not to poke at weird skin things? Sigh.
I have dodgy skin & get stuff frozen off etc.
Absent-minded moment of poking at a small thing on my jawline. It’s now sore, bruised and not as small. “That’ll learn me!”

How lovely she’s surrounded by love. I’m pleased you can rest. 🫂

@miravox.bsky.social checking in on you and your Mum.

Unchained Melody on the radio. Tony used to sing it to me sometimes. He had a lovely deep voice. 💔

Police are still over the road. Finished talking to her. Moved in to him. Been there 90 minutes already.

Alan’s home from wrapping bales if anything kicks off later.

A sketchbook page with a small abstract landscape with notes written around it, add swatches of paint & collage.

Working on the first evaluation exercise in the art course I’m doing. I don’t normally reflect this much on my process & outcomes.

I’m remembering how much I love orange 🧡🧡🧡

Pixies stripes anyone?
Ghoulish Green, Sassy Pink or Pumpkin Orange pixie hood for you to choose from.

Final settlement by Bank on farm relies on having contacts for grazing 80 cows. 38 signed up. Meeting people tomorrow who need 40-50 grazed.

Bank was happy to settle if we had 50% signed up by takeover.

Fingers crossed we’ll have just over 100% signed up with about 7 weeks to go. Grateful!

Gets worse. Father & daughter. Unsure if shared ownership or just her.

Alan hauled him off her once, threatened to punch him if he touched her again.

They both do dumb shit. He grows drugs. She’s super paranoid conspiracy central. Feel sorry for both, but wastes Police time too. So broken 😖😑

Thought I could hear nasty shouting but forgot about it. I don’t normally ignore it - must have been distracted.

Sure enough, police just turned up over the road. Double unit & the two ends hate each other.
