Civics quiz this time!. It turns out, I'm smarter than a 6th grader - 100% for me. 😃

6.5. You can probably guess the one I got wrong.

Got my nylon string and bass back from being fixed. Yeeha!

Okay, I bought a $30 rotary tool from ebay (including among other things a few drill bits and a cutting disc) and then a 60L outdoor bin with lid from the big green shed.

spoiler

I wanted a proper drill but to be honest I won’t be able to tackle jobs big enough to need one. This little battery operated tool will probably be more than enough for anything I get up to.

My physical health is still not great so I don’t know if I can handle maintaining a compost bin and might have to give up if it gets bad again. But let’s see? I want to tidy up my yard but a green bin would likely be vandalised or stolen. Worst case scenario I could just list the compost bin on Gumtree with or without the contents.

I’m far enough into the crochet bag that I’ve almost finished the first ball of yarn. I’ll learn to join another colour and then find stuff to watch while I keep going

Just had to change my NBN again thanks to NBNs shitty 6 months deals. Exetel were the cheapest with $65.99 for 100/20 Mbps for 6 months. But the kicker was 100 bucks on top cash back (in like 6 months). If you feel like changing let me know, I think I can get a referral code for you. Dont know if that gives both of us a discount or just me though.
