So hot outside. Could be worse, could be humid. 12 more new records to go... then I just need to redo 16 more completely and I'm almost done. The rest only need remeasuring with a tape measure... which is more about driving around to do the bastard things real quick. I could do some while I'm out here and traffic is chill. Leave about 70 to update with more precision on some cooler weather day. The end is in sight for this side of town!

Metal straws or paper straws?
i have a big plastic one
Paper works fine for me, don't tend to leave drinks long enough for them to get soggy.

I'm surprised cookie monster is there. Surely Vicpol with their extremely sound judgement chucked him in the drunk tank, then refused to do a blood test, fail to communicate the charge, then didn't offer him 2 phone calls and just chucked him out on the street at 4am on a monday with no way home except for an 8km walk. (It was a while ago but I'm still bitter).
He doesn't know where he is. He's high as hoeing down cookies. He wouldn't remember his age let alone a phone number.
I'm sure Oscar got good reason
He lives on the street, he knows what's up.
Shall we play a little game of What do you prefer?
The rules are you may only choose ONE.
Bath towels or bath sheets?
Just a clean towel thanks
Towels. Bath sheets are too big and unweildy and don't fit on the towel rail properly. Or do people who have bath sheets have some sort of plus sized sheet rail instead?
^^ agree
They are so heavy when they're wet.

Just came back from shopping, lots of people about. The fruit and veg shop was busy as, which is good to see. Got a busy day in the factory tomorrow, so it's gonna be a very hot one for me.
Shit sleep last night. Can't think of anything to do for our wedding anniversary next week. I've had two shits already which is unheard of. It's fucking hot. I will survive.
I had a long second sleep, musta been tired.
but first i'll dash to qvc and grab a small frozen yoghurt and some other stuff 😋
Happy Second Sunday!
I just signed up to Proton Mail & am changing over my email, calendar, setting up the VPN and migrating all my stuff to their cloud server. I've only just started the process and I'm exhausted already. I haven't even looked at the password manager yet to decide if I want to change to that or not. But storing my digital life in Switzerland instead of USA seems like a very good idea at the moment.

Address changing underway, along with resetting passwords for a zillion customer portals I've not logged into since last move and have inevitably forgotten. Blargh.
Working the public holiday is bad enough, but whyyy did our central engineering team have to throw a spanner in the works and break stuff to 'keep things interesting' and make today extra-not-cruisy?!? 🤬
