Do you have a good book?

Do you have a good book?

nope, I do have my laptop with some games on it. 

1.5 hours in and not one person has came in or called. I am loving this.

Currently have over 2000 words research for an essay-still not motivated to start.

Mum just realised just how dangerous it is to leave me alone in a bookstore.
She nearly had to drag me out without even a book because I spent too much time exploring new books. :')

Discovered that season 5 of Brooklyn Nine Nine has been released on Netflix so I've been binging that instead of doing my assignment that's due tomorrow oh my gawddd

Forgot about my tea for a good hour. It's cold now, but I can't be bothered getting up to heat it.
*shrugs and sips cold tea*

There is nothing wrong with once-hot-but-now-cold beverages.

I once made a tea before uni and left it on the sheet music stand on the keyboard at home for 12 hours. Didn't taste too bad! Hopefully yours didn't taste too bad either!

There I was, just innocently waiting at the traffic intersection, when a peewee bird swoops at me for invading its territory

I'm tracking magpie larks this semester for uni to try to see how their behaviour is being influenced by climate change (only really one week of tracking left) & if you see a nest please let me know [and if you could tell me where that would be brilliant! ].

No one in my group has seen any nests yet, but they'll probably be about 20m above the ground and made using mud

Where I grew up, we called magpie larks "mudlarks". I guess this might be why?

[S200]

Wait... Is that actually a mudlark's real name?

Strangely enough magpie larks aren't larks (or magpies).

I like your theory though!

Yep

Ergh I typed up a whole thing on magpie larks but then my computer did something

Yeah, magpie larks are also known as ‘mud-larks’ because they build their nests with mud, and are called ‘peewees’ or ‘peewits’ because of their call (‘pee-o-wee!’)
They’re a funny little bird, most noticeably because they’ve imitated the markings of a true Australian magpie, but they’re actually called larks not because that’s part of their subspecies, it’s actually due to the fact that they seem to be having a “lark” – a bit like the monotone clowns of the Aussie bird world haha (love a good ol’ ornithology joke)

there's a mud nest right here :D

Today i wanted to see what bannana bread tasted like when it was toasted

Result: Do not ever toast bananna bread. I'd rather eat a whole packet of stale biscuits and wash them down with warm milk

Conclusion: Now i see why people say some things are better left undiscovered. Bananna bread was never meant to be toasted...
