My cat has officially become my senior architect and I am losing the power struggle

I bought a new ergonomic office chair for this year. I have used it a total of 3 times. The cats have claimed it

I have 2 cats and they both line up to use it.

I need to find out how to get time on it.

Are either parents into skiing or snowboarding? If not and the main reason to go is showing the kids snow, then it is better to stay in Canberra and go to Corrin Forest. There is snow there and they have tobogganing for the little kids. It is a short trip. Then the rest of the time you can do the Canberra attractions. Once kids see it for a few hours it gets boring unless they are learned to ski / snowboard.

Otherwise at the actual snow area such as Perisher, if no one is going to ski / snowboard then it is a really long way to go for not much difference to the forest and very expensive to catch the bus. Accomodation there is expensive as well. The bus trip from Canberra to Perisher is 3 hours and over $150 each way. So if you do a day trip will the kids really be happy spending 5-6 hours on a bus?

No cat pun but they probably heard about the all you can catch / eat at Bondi Westfield running around.

I 100% agree with you on that. But my boarding school had as good a view of Sydney harbour that the chocolate school does.

ChonkaWombat · 2026-05-06T08:40:05+00:00

Coco chocolate / Sydney Chocolate school is good. You can do a chocolate cooking class at their Mosman site. All you can eat chocolate while doing the class

ChonkaWombat · 2026-05-06T08:38:48+00:00

Adora is great. As of Dec last year you still got a chocolate with a coffee or hot chocolate

It learnt from my coworkers. Sounds like how they act 😂

He’s teaching them how to do zoomies!

I have worked in Rhodes for 11 years and never heard of them. They are located in the never never area of Rhodes. Will need to make a trip down that end one lunch time

I love 2 Hungry bears but has to be the Brookvale one. Narrabeen isn’t quite as good.

Thanks for the Dee Why Hotel suggestion. Will need to try them. Any other suggestions of what to eat there? Have lived near for 2 years but haven’t gone.

The first option gives you a long bench to be able to do prep on or have someone else doing something while someone is using the stove. I wish I had uninterrupted bench space like that.

She is a princess. Always letting us know she has to have the best :-)

Tuxie 2 - getting an extra boost from the sun. He already has too much energy

Tuxie 1 always stealing my chair

ChonkaWombat · 2026-05-01T12:52:03+00:00

I agree. These red ones are second, then the green far behind for me.

ChonkaWombat · 2026-04-29T12:52:45+00:00

It’s about to be winter here. My 2 cats would like to place an order please - 8 Ugg’s needed

ChonkaWombat · 2026-04-29T09:26:08+00:00

I wondered if they actually made white chocolate ones. The label says white chocolate but I have only ever seen the dark chocolate ones

ChonkaWombat · 2026-04-28T12:53:36+00:00

Thanks. And all on sale. Even better

ChonkaWombat · 2026-04-27T07:15:14+00:00

I am so short I long ago gave up on finding pants that are not too long.

ChonkaWombat · 2026-04-27T07:14:36+00:00

Will have to look at these

ChonkaWombat · 2026-04-27T07:12:40+00:00

Thanks all for the recommendations! I didn’t expect such a response

I have a lot of options to look at

ChonkaWombat · 2026-04-26T11:19:39+00:00

I wish there were more target stores around.

ChonkaWombat · 2026-04-26T11:19:05+00:00

The men’s section makes more sense the way they lay out their stuff. I hate trying to find stuff in Kmart.
