Plans for today (2025)

Plans for today have, so far, worked out.
Take sonny jim to an event; go buy 4 cases of jamjars; food for the dog; case of beer.
The surprise was an innocuous visit to the supermarket (for sliced bread) where I discovered fresh beetroot at only $1 a kilo, reduced from $3.35.
I bought 4 kgs, some sugar, some tamarind, some wine vinegar, and now I'm going to make a pile of beetroot and tamarind chutney.

I’m just back from a weekend away with friends!

I have a friend who moved north of here a couple years ago, so we use her place as a home base for girls’ weekends from time to time.

We went to the spa during the day (Scandinavian baths), followed by dinner out, and then went to a cidery for a drag show.

I’d never been to a drag show before, but it was SO FUN! I had a such a great time. Definitely want to do it again in the future.

When I lived in Florida and was in my 20s, I used to go to drag shows at the gay bar in town about once a month. Totally a great time! I can only imagine they have gotten better! But never heard of one at a cidery before, interesting!

It was a great venue, we enjoyed several flights of different ciders and hard seltzer during the show and ended up sharing a table with some really friendly people!

Unfortunately I think I discovered that hard seltzer doesn’t agree with me - I didn’t feel great this morning, but that’s a different story.
 
Got a lot of admin I’ve been avoiding.
A pile of jobs came in on Friday and 4.30pm.
I really dislike professions that you email on a monday and they don’t get back to you until after 4pm on a friday.
You know full well the response won’t be read til monday and another week will pass before they respond on the following friday again after 4pm 😠

Anyway apart from that I’m thinking Chicken noodle soup for today 😊

My plans ran a foot as we were leaving the house. The plan had been

Garden centre to replace bottle brush trees than have died
Shopping centre for various bit
Lunch
Hospital for 90min blood test relating to my Addison's Disease.


Only a we were leaving and I was looking at the blood test form, I realised I'd forgotten to NOT take my steroids for the Addison's Disease.

Guess we try again tomorrow. There's a big notice on the take saying not to take hydrocortisone tablets. I wonder if I can wrangle lunch out again?
