That’s so shit and so fucked up. I’m glad he apologised, but it’s not fair that he did that in first place. Comparison is the thief of joy, you’re doing YOU and that’s all that matters. You are loved!

For sure, she had a lot on her plate. I liked hearing about Sammy and Zooks. People come and go, of course. Hopefully they pop in and say hi occasionally! This is such a lovely space.

I might have missed something - but anyone seen Bull lately? Is he still here under a different name?

Yeah, SK imports from an Asian grocer at The Glen. Most bottles were under $10, they had a few different brands! Lots of sake as well.

Good morning Chef! May I please have chicken avocado salad with a juice box?

Passionfruit was good. Don’t remember the original now but looks like I drank it. The store had a 5 for $35 deal, but only on a particular brand. Wishing I’d stepped outside that brand and gotten melon and citron!

There’s a huge red patch that appeared out of nowhere over Caulfield area! We had a bit of rain down south but it went away pretty quickly.

I’ve currently got lychee, apple, passionfruit, peach, original, guava in the fridge. I want to try honeydew melon but haven’t found it yet. Haven’t tried any of the yoghurt flavoured ones, but did once try a choc mint one which was very, very confusing for my mouth. What’s your fav? I had a strawberry one last weekend, wish I’d nabbed another of that! Boyo is currently in love with jelly sake, so we got some peach, apple and plum cans of that!

Hope the flight is/was comfy! What did you get up to in NZ?

Went to The Glen, came out with a bag full of soju and snacks after eating skewers and onigiri while there. Mmmhmm!

3 handfuls, right?

Oh my goodness he’s just so adorable.

I say this with absolute kindness - I understand your worry for Melbcat, but if feeding the magpies is bringing you a little bit of joy, I don’t think you should let your fear get in the way. I’m sure you’re incredibly diligent with giving her treats and wouldn’t give her one from the floor if you thought someone might have tracked something inside.

Agree that carpet is gross!

Mr Piffles, The World’s First Magic Performing Chihuahua died last week - a day after Toby. I met Mr Piffles in Vegas back in 2016 and he was a very good boy indeed.

Left over beef ragu pasta for lunch and I am so excited. Hurry up, 1:30pm.

Also wondering at what point I’ll snap and stop making sensible decisions and run away to Europe for a month.

That’s… a really tough question.

Vanilla ice cream with berries. Caramel cheesecake. Choc ripple with raspberry jam.

Saw a funny little reel about expectation vs reality of young Aussie males… expecting hot surfer dudes, getting bogans with mullets and shitty tattoos. Made me laugh.

Delicious, thank you!

Oh I definitely need to keep more of an eye out, thank you!!

May I please have okonomiyaki, please. Preferably Osaka style but also not too fussy. And a vanilla ice cream cone, please?
