I'm reading The Burrow at the moment. It's excellent but also set during Melbourne lockdown. I think there's enough distance now for it to not take me right back there emotionally, and it's not the focus of the book, but it's a bit weird. Reliving the easing restrictions and density limits and all that shit.

It also makes me want a pet rabbit.

Getting in the door was back to easy mode again today - package delivery was just two footstools. I now have two fluffy pink footstools to rest my feet on. They may be a touch small for Miss Meow to use as a cat bed, but I expect her to trial them out at some point anyway.

A mystery bag delivery has yielded assorted teas, a drill, condiments and seasonings, and a lil ukulele.

Matches and aeroguard too, so now I wonder whether that Elon mural is still up and how much damage I could do with those two items ๐Ÿค”

Edit: oh and also I didn't really have go stress I guess; I did the research assessment and submitted that, and then did the research and loose script for the (stupid) roleplay tomorrow.

I've been playing around with work's Marketing automation and it is so nice to use. So much better than Marketing Cloud. I can't wait to get in there properly.

I may be able to convince the head office team to switch the CMS to drupal too. That combination would be dream working conditions for me, it would be crazy smooth workflow

Can anyone in the baking world enlighten me as to what these are before I throw them out. Something to do with cake making/decorating.

Looks like a piping nail - you use a piping bag to make a flower or something on it, then can transfer it once set to the cake. You hold the nail bit so you can turn it as you pipe.

Thank you. They're going in the bin.
