Hello ducklings! 4/2

gambling addict?: I think i have an addiction, if not an addiction then i have truely found the

genre/style of movies/shows i like and that is storylines about either heists, who done its or gambling. the first two are self explanatory but i wanna talk more about gambling. i like to watch things that show the logic behind gambling/casinos/cards. the movies 21 and mollys game, about counting cards and running underground poker tournaments i find intriguing and the show bet i like because they teach different games. idk something about the maths behind things and the intelligence and skill rather then luck and chance makes me feel smart watching it. other movies i like are oceans and knives out, i recently watched seven dials on netflix, great twist highly recommend but dont fall in love with characters too quickly is all ill say.

new found love...: I have fallen in love again....with sudoku, find a words and swimming.

The sudoku and find a words come from me doing opening shifts at work where i serve a customer every 20 mins for 1.5h until my cashier comes in. previously ive flipped a coin 200 times or fallen in love with a goose or blown up 20 balloons and made balloon garlands or hidden 16 ball balls around the store for people to find. however i have recently discovered the stash of old newspapers hidden in the cupboard that people shove them in when theyre not bothered to walk 30 seconds to put them out the back, and in those news papers are the activities sheets. Sudoku at 7:30 feels so relaxing and is a nice brain switcheronera activity and then to do find a words again were not really much effort is needed is so fun. my work bestie kim and i have been doing this massive minecraft themed find a word for 2 - going onto 3 - shifts now and its just a great time waster and boredom buster when youre not meant to be on youre phone.

swimming i rediscovered when i went to newcastle baths on the roadtrip. i have a love hate relationship with swimming and ill usually go back for a few weeks then stop for a few months and rediscover it again, so im in the period where im like yeah i love swimming laps. although i have lately had tonsillitis so it isnt great to swim and my throat hurts and also my ankle hasnt fully recovered but still, im liking swimming.

i only cook with music...: I told you last week, i dont cook. by now i was meant to cook 2 dinners

and both times a member of my family have taken over cause apparenlty im not doing it right.

the poke bowls i lasted 5 seconds cause i went to cut the salmon and because im fussy i dont like the grey stuff where the skin met the salmon so i started cutting that off but then my mum told me i didnt need to do that and to just cut the salmon, so i went to cut the salmon in half to cut it into small chunks and she said i wouldnt cut it like that and so then i was like whats the point of me making dinner if youre just gonna micro manage anything i do and stormed off and let her cook the meal cause if youre gonna sit there and tell me how to do every step you might as well cook it yourself.

the second meal was burritos and i did everything myself and finished then my sister tasted it and said i didnt put in enough flavouring but i used the rest of a packet that was there and so we look in the pantry for more and found one that was best before 26/4/25. i sprinkled some in but she was like put the whole packet in so i let her do it and walked away and then she started complaining about how i quit and dont listen to advice but i didnt quit cause i was done all she did was put in more seasoning (yes hannah im standing by this)

vietnamaking plans: Turns out edrea and i can do 10 days away rather than our original 6 sooooo

we’re going to vietnam! in 12 days were going again, flights and accomodation have been booked so

now were just figuring out tours, activities and places to go. actually very excited about this and we

accidentally booked it for when their luna new year is so itll be great to see all the festivities and

decorations. it also just looks so aesthetic however my one qualm ive had so far is their visa website. it is shocking. i spent an hour on there filling out the same form 8 times because i would get to the payment part and press go to payment then it would log me out of my form and said there was an error. turns out only specific email platforms work so i had to switch from my regular email to my gmail and thank the lord it finally worked.

im going to laneway on sunday and i have absolutely no idea what i am going to wear. ive never been to a music festival before, well i have but it was called off the rails and it was rock so i just wore ripped jeans a band shirt and docs but i feel like laneway vibes are cutesy/ aesthetic and i have a limited amount of that in my closet.

trivia night is this friday! youre welcome to show up on the day but make sure you bring money cause this is fun trivia. you can buy answers and theres fines for players on their phone. im also rewriting a few questions cause im now convinced ive made this too hard and its not fun.

for those who actually got this far last week and guessed my two truths and a lie, the lie is in fact i put bbq sauce on my stir fry. yes bbq sauce goes on salmon and lasagne, youre mental if you dont put it on those. im watching im a celeb and if i ever go on it my special item im bringing in is a 2L bottle of bbq sauce and that is only for me cause i will go through it all in 4 weeks.

Thanks for going, BR3E
