      Oh no! Kerry Greenwood read my self published novel a few years back and said some very nice things and even let me quote her. Rereading her emails had been a great boost in confidence as I struggled with writing more things. And she was very kind (and funny) in the small exchange we had. I had planned on sending her the sequel at the end of this year. This is very sad news. Condolences to you and hers.

    PSA: new way for manufacturers to skive on what they sell. Just did a load of washing with a new bottle of laundry liquid. Clear bottle that was full to the top. Undid the top, and the vacuum released and the level of laundry liquid in the bottle dropped by about 2-3 cm. They’d squeezed the bottle when filling it to make it look a lot fuller than it was. Didn’t think to measure the amount of liquid but will next time.

      Argh. Like opening a box of something and finding it is mostly cardboard packer, or the way Toblerone bits have been double spaced. Aggravation and lies.

      not a scam

      the volume of soap remains the same

      the bottle bulges a bit when filled

      it’s sealed under vacuum to stop it from leaking in transit

        Um, I was thinking of tubes of toothpaste. When you change the topography of the outside layer by squeezing, the inside volume goes down. The difference here is that the shape of the bottle springs back which does not happen with toothpaste.

    Going across town to see my nan and opa today. They’re getting older and it’s lowkey freaking me out, so I’m trying to visit more often 😬 it’s just a small gathering; myself, them, dad, maybe my uncle - so it will be nice 🥰

    Dad also found some old photos, about 10, in his wardrobe. Ones he hid and saved from mums rampages. He sent them to me and now I have a real nice collection of memories!

    There’s a number of them where I’m just a wee baby and mum is holding me. It’s crazy to think she was just 19-20yo and I’m now way older than that. She was my age when I was 12-13. I can’t imagine having a young teen child myself at my age.

    The fingerless gloves are out. I’m listening to some Burt Bacharach to keep me in a happy, chilled mood while I sit at the computer willing myself to get going on some very simple, brainless stuff for uni.

    How was I today years old when I learned that one of my favourite Röyksopp tracks (“So Easy”), the first track from their seminal debut album, was a freaking BURT BACHARACH sample (“Blue So Blue”). Anyway. Onwards with the day… if I can get this super basic thing done, I will have chalked up a win!
