I saw this in a museum two days ago. It's a cash register from 1901 and consequently looks like a steampunk fever dream. I love her.

Spring is HERE the weather is getting WARMER I hope my balcony ends up filled with GREEN STUFF 🤞

We went out the other day and my coworker got this extremely fancy pink drink. 🥂

I got sick for a little bit — one of those high fever, coughing, muscle aches, fatigue deals that goes around during winter. Even though the acute illness lasted only a few days, the coughing and fatigue has taken forever to fade and now working out is, once again, bullshit.

I tried to go back to working out about a fortnight ago and got so dizzy I called it quits pretty fast. (It stops being healthy for you if you're risking eating the treadmill. (⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)⁠!)

So I have been sticking to little 10k stationary bike rides for a couple weeks, but I went back to jogging today. I couldn't do a mile anymore... In the end I jogged 1km super slow then did 6 × 100m running intervals, all flat.

When will "lazily jogging a mile because it's better than nothing," return from the cardiovascular war? (ʘ言ʘ╬)

I went out with a friend the other night! The cocktails and curry looked very aesthetic :)

Passed some wayward mushies on my walk this morning. A friend tentatively suggested they could be yellow fieldcaps (grown from fertiliser applied to the grass), but I know nothing about mushrooms personally.

There's virtually nothing growing in my balcony garden right now, despite it being the tail end of summer and basically the best possible time to be growing things.

However, I did plant out some basil I got from the supermarket that I didn't use up in my recipe. It had a rocky start out here, but after a few weeks it's looking green and lively.

What's everyone's favourite flowers that aren't like. The normal ones. Like everyone's a fan of roses and sunflowers what's a more niche one. One you don't get in gift sets. Mine's sweet peas

What hardiness zone are you in? Your winter tomatoes are lovely!

I'm in Australia so we don't use hardiness zones the same way! Our whole country would be above zone 7 or 8 I think, haha. I live in a temperate coastal climate so I think probably in the vicinity of zone 10?

We had a very mild winter last year and didn't get lower than like 2°C (35–36 F), even over night, haha, so the basil shriveled into a sad black mass but the weird out of season tomato plant lived, and just grew very, very verrrrry slowly in the low light. ✨

This was absolutely the right strategy, in case anyone was wondering. FasMaths checked out.

Been struggling a little with fatigue, so I think I'm gonna focus on jogging frequency rather than distance this week.

If I run an easy mile 4 times in a week and go "I'm getting out even though I feel bad, yay me!" it's basically the same as running 2 miles twice and going "wow, I haven't been doing much lately and I suck."

The #FasMath is in. It says... take it easy.✌️

I'm going on a food prep adventure this weekend! By this I mean I'm going to cook 8 meals and prepare 4 breakfasts.

I want it to last me from Monday through to Thursday, which is my last working day for the coming week. And I'd prefer at least two kinds of cooked meal, so I don't get bored and sad. So I'll cook two batches of four servings and freeze half of each.

Today's goal is to make my grocery list, compare it to what's in the cupboard, clean up the kitchen (and wash the pile of tupperware next to the sink... >.>) and go grocery shopping.

Cooking anything today will be a bonus, but I do not expect to get that much done because I've met myself. I think my stretch goal will just be to make the breakfasts, which at least require no actual cooking.

(Imagine being in the habit of organising yourself so that you don't need a carefully curated to-do list to get anything done. What a life...! Hahaha.)
