Melbourne

Decent view on my run earlier. Turns out those forestry trails are indeed steep.

Some stars out tonight. So nice to be away from the light pollution.

Did some adulting with bank accounts. Not only has the old Bond paid for the new door but there is no need to double count pennies unless we find a Must that has to be ordered Right Now. Utterly astonished.

Several buckets of paint stripper it is.

Bluestone moved! No monolith / stonehenge today :(

Surprisingly no injuries.

I used to love going to guitar shops. But I get treated like some kind of fucking exhibit these days. I went to one in Brunswick. I've known the owner for like, 20 years and he's super chill but rarely in store.

Not every musician is a lanky white dude.

I don't complain about racism pretty much ever, but it irks me in this context.

My 10 years sober present to myself.

This thing is fucking bright lol

Ahhh, nice. Don't mind if I do.

First morning.

Moved some biggish bits of bluestone yesterday. Feeling that today. 2 more to go. One of them is about 1.5m long 30cm wide and 20cm high. Chuckin' it in a bluestone slab weight calculator it's over 250kgs lol.

Not sure what to do with the big one (or how to move it safely). Tempted to bury it a bit, upright in the middle of the lawn as a sort of a space odyssey monolith thing for no reason.

Went out for dinner last night, got a porterhouse. Some drinks, more drinks at another bar. Aldi beer.

Then I promptly fell asleep at 11pm.

It's fun when my partner's birthday is within 10 days of mine 😂 he is my best friend, I love how we can make each other laugh.

I hope everyone has the best day!!

Sky pretty (tram edition).

I think perhaps I chill on the couch for most of today

It appears to be April the one-hundred-and-sixty-blepth.

I so badly want to throw a sickie tomorrow but I'm not going to.

Am hour went past in what felt like seconds playing with the pedal.

Yeeeeeeha!

Goodnight all ❤️

Helping the kid organise her stuff. Fake eyelashes, fake nails and hair accessories give me the heebie jeebies. Yuck. I need a shower.

She came out with a whole bunch of cables for her dad to sort through. He secretly loves it.

Aww… Melbcat has flopped into me to be the little spoon. My big soft teddy bear.

bangs table excitedly TRIPLE PAY MONTH TRIPLE PAY MONTH and yes I have carefully planned my leave to come around the bonus pay. Half of it to savings, the other half to buy me some fuckin' treats and I have now ordered the Bigtree I have had my eye on for years

They seemed to like the drawn tutorial (with the original video credited of course) so I whacked up part 2 - someone followed them both and posted their results. There you go. I’ve made my first few tutorials and kinda become a teacher to others.

Now to actually learn how to draw myself and not teach people bad habits 🤪

I managed to get another weeks worth of antibiotics which will hold me til I can see my regular gp.

I feel heavy as lead and like I’ve been beaten by a sack of hammers. The anxiety has been bad today too which can be the low phosphate. The phosphate supplement has to be ordered in and costs $70-ish…

My psychologist, psychiatrist and someone in my personal life who is not a friend or family member all think I have autism. None of them know each other, and have just told me that coincidentally at the same time. Unfortunately, it would explain a lot. I didn't even think of it until they said it.

Just got a "how and why to vote liberal" flyer in the mailbox. There are two candidates in my seat - a Labor and a Green. Good work on the analytics there fellas.

me going through life sober

Good morning. It’s flu shot day

I shook off my lethargy to gently gyme.

I’m now home and contemplating being in bed by six. It sounds pleasant

I lived

Had an awful nightmare about someone from my past and woke up to see that they’d tried to call me at 3:45am (number is blocked, but it shows in my call log). I sent them a polite email “this makes me very uncomfortable, please stop. Also I’m blocking your email address, so do not reply.” I don’t know if that was the right course of action, but I’m just… I just don’t want to see their name in my call log any more. They try and call a couple of times a month and I know it’s not for anything and they’ll always just say “it was an accident” or “I saw a bit of news you might be interested in”. Omg just stop.

also, the word shutter can go in the bin

CLOSE, you mean CLOSE

I get ads for Temu which I'm quite happy to watch. Some things look handy and give me ideas but I'll never buy them from there. I like the kitchen stuff.

Today's ad was doggy wheels like the ones when the dog can't use his back legs. Doggy looked very happy wheeling around.

They really do sell everything.

...So I've been pondering getting a NUC for the bedroom media player, but they exxy af. Friend just randomly swung by when decommissioning a bunch of shit for work and gave me a dell embedded 3000. freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

What linux shall I install for my kodi.....

Feeling better now but I think I'll work from home today just to make sure everything is cleared from my system. The last thing you need before a week of is losing a day and a half to sickness

the tide was out very far today and the water was so clear and still I kept walking in puddles without seeing

The moon is a 5 cent piece floating in the sky.
