AUNTY POH AACTA STORYTIME
Nearly forget to pack dress, then have to get red carpet ready in lunatic record time of 30 mins on account of complicated hotel check in.
Frazzled as heck & enter pre-ceremony drinky poos tripping over someone’s foot & literally land in arms of my red carpet ride or die @gigiamazonia , consistently THE smartest bird at any awards night because the wild woman always goes shoeless.
Thrilled “Adam & Poh’s Great Australian Bites” is nomd for Best Lifestyle Show (thank u @aacta ♥️) & we happily lose to @gardeningaustralia plus @costasworld is perfect ceremony hangs buddy. We discuss being genuinely confused to be in 2nd row with all the fancy ppl & are sitting behind Harry Connick Jr & his 3 lovely daughters. I chat to them but am too embarrassed to say hi to Harry. Ceremony is roughly 4 hours. Gina & I lose each other in slow migration to bar.
2 hours pass and as per usual, recognising many people but my head is swimming. I can’t place them exactly or recall that many names & become increasingly overwhelmed. Self esteem must be improving coz in the past would be writhing like a total dropkick with terrible inner dialogue in this situ but now have no qualms withdrawing & standing in a nigel corner to decide whether to stay or tap out. Gina and I find each other again but she declares she’s wants to bop. I dig a jig (especially to tragic outdated r & b) but we’re packed like sardines in tuxedoes & frothy frocks marinating in 300% Gold Coast humidity. My feet are about to explode in heels & I can’t focus on conversations which have the added bonus of needing to be shouted over stupidly loud music. I leave the venue but decide to sit outside against a flower bed & have a genuinely restorative moment alone. There is a breeze & I can hear my own thoughts again. Then I find my ppl. We tell each other we are ordering Ubers but wind up hanging out for some time because we have recognised we are a similar kind of alien…🙃

Just found this in a basket of plastic string in Aunty Kim’s McGyver cave. I have a shocking memory but roughy this look is circa 1995 (so I’m around 20-21) and yes that’s my real hair which I used to curl with old school rags, because back then u couldn’t just grab a hairpiece from Temu for $10 but even if I could I woulda bin busy saving to scoot back to Utah so I could find me a Mormon husband and procreate asap 😂. Fate had other plans.
This was the soundtrack of the era – probs a bit telling of my recent return from OS where I had my cherry popped by, lets just say, every mother’s nightmare, got my belly pierced, never witnessed such joyous multiculturalism and one of my my besties was trans. It was a time of rebellion, immense turmoil and philosophical change. I felt wild with wanting to be desired, and although I wasn’t a model church member, I spent most of this period cowering from my truth and feeling like a despicable sinner. Despite all this, the goal was still to get back on track and contort myself into the wholesome mould I believed would give me the stillness & acceptance I craved. Just a small part of a story that reminds me how I earned my 50 years and how much youth kinda sucked 😂! Happy Friday, folks!
It’s legit thermodynamics, guys! I couldn’t handle it anymore and hit up our fave doctoré of physics. So here’s the low down on why Grandma’s plastic bag ain’t melting, explained by @drmattagnew – thank u for letting us borrow your excellent brain 🪐💥. Now we can finally sleep in peace. And ppl please, of course I am not endorsing the use of this ‘appliance’. It’s obviously born of POVERTY so everyone please keep your bpa trigger knickers on and appreciate the science for just one moment! Also, sorry but the soundtrack WILL haunt you for days.
“Basically, the melting point of the plastic is *higher* than the boiling point of the water. What this means is that water will heat up to 100C, then begin boiling and the temperature won’t ever go higher. Since 100C is lower than the melting point of the plastic, it won’t melt.
It seems weird, but basically the heat from the flame will heat up the plastic, but once it reaches higher than the 100C, the heat will flow into the water (heat flows from hot to cold). Any additional heat added to the plastic will keep just flowing straight to the water so the plastic will also stay at 100C.
So this will continue until all the water is boiled off. Now there is nowhere for the heat to flow so the plastic will rise temperature quickly and then melt.”

Body slams on ‘down’ and then gets all awkies & can’t make eye contact with the treat or me when I tell him to hold off 😂.

Here’s a cheeky secret of mine for making your house plant sitch look super lush! Also some tips below for houseplant success ♥️. More household tips in my book #whaticookwhennobodyswatching . Feel free to add any tips below!
1. For the fakies, pick plants with a naturally waxy appearance like Zanzibar Gem – u really can’t tell the difference. Also it really pays to fork out a bit more than you’d expect for a good quality fakey.
2. When watering house plants make sure you water the hard to get to spots at the back and edge of the pot to encourage the root system to expand and foliage to grow evenly.
3. Remember to feed houseplants. I prefer seaweed based liquid fertilisers which does make the house smell a little “seasidey” for a day but hey 🤷🏻♀️.
4. If a houseplant dies, cut all the leaves away, place in bright spot in the house without direct sunlight and water gently for a few weeks. Nearly all my house plants have been revived like this.
If u think death was caused by wrong light, keep moving it around the house where there’s different light, to experiment with where it might find a spot to thrive. I’d also repot and have a look at what’s going on in the soil – might be mould or root bound, sometimes bad drainage.
5. Water once a week except the very small pots twice.
6. Mealy mites need to be spotted early and treated every 2 weeks with few eucalyptus oil mixed with a teaspoon of water and a cotton bud to make sure you get amongst those delicate crevices where they like to cause a ruckus.
7. Terrariums never last. They are created to look good at time of planting so when the plants start to reach for light, the aesthetic composition changes and will always start to look straggly. At this point I’ll pull it all out and recreate a new one. For this reason I always just use hardy, plentiful succulents and in my uni days, this was ‘free’ if u took a walk around the block or hustled from friends and family 😬.

My first @flowhive harvest and it was a big one – around 10kg so far this Summer and positively STOKED!!!! For those unfamiliar with flow hives, the super box where the honey is stashed, is made of bpa free plastic combs with a seam in the middle of every row of cells, which can be cracked with a key. The honey flows directly out of taps into jars, leaving the bees undisturbed and the wax capping* left behind so it can be re-used by the bees. As you can see the bees stay very calm and I don’t have to use a suit or veil during harvesting. In traditional hives, the frames of wax combs are removed from the hive, pierced and centrifuged for the honey to be harvested.
You’ll notice the bees towards the end of the reel look a tiny bit swarmy. Usually they will dart back and forth during the day with a straight flight path to and from the hive opening. Here they are doing figures of 8 because many babies have been born and orientating before they take their first flight to begin their life of foraging.
*The capping is done by the bees only when enough moisture has evaporated from the honey. You should only harvest honey when a frame is 80% capped or you run the risk of it fermenting quickly. You should also only ever harvest 20% of the total stash or you will be diminishing the food security of your colony.
Thank u to my apiary mentors @xarchaeceya & @mademoisellebee06 for continuing to teaching me the bee mysteries ♥️
PS The warmth from a jar of honey that flows directly out of a hive is now officially one my favourite things !
