Of the 8 hours Iโ€™ve been trying to sleep, I reckon Iโ€™ve slept for 2 maybe 3 hours. Iโ€™m going slowly insane.

I've had three or four of those nights in the last fortnight. Very not fun ๐Ÿ˜” I don't really have any advice, just sympathy. It's brutal

Fun little daily game I found in one of the other communities.

4 words of different lengths to be made out of the letters available and all according to a theme.

Iโ€™m ashamed todays one took me so long all things considered.

Tried 'story' and 'myth'. Both were incorrect. I give up

Almost finished restoring the kukri (gurkha knife) last night. Interestingly when placed in vinegar several times overnight, it's the edge (hardest bit) that's most affected chemically.

A word of advice is don't tackle the edge after a few drinks. Looked like a murder scene.

home now, it's getting cold, sat down with some hot coffee and those nice strawberry wafers . oh noes, I accidentally picked up the peanut flavoured ones ๐Ÿ˜ต

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Coffee so late? Isnโ€™t that going to make it hard to sleep?

Bummer about the wafers :(

Aaaand I changed my mind again and I'm now at a resort in NSW which looks suspiciously like a motel. Nice though. Has Foxtel so I've got the NRL on and a nice cold beverage.

They even have stubby holders! Cheers!

Pretty therapeutic cleaning out my carport after 3.5 years ๐Ÿ˜ฌ binned a whole lot of old crap from my old work car, swept up a huge pile of leaves, dust and debris, removed the years of neglect. Now it's unrecognisably clean and tidy! So much less depressing to look at! I'm sure my neighbours will be happy too.

Aint much for a Saturday but I definitely feel like I've earned the right to chill for the rest of the day. Not gonna push myself too hard this weekend...

Coming away was the right choice. Just pulled $1000 profit out of the club.

Motel was $160 and this trip uses about half a tank of fuel so let's call it a $790 winner. I've got enough points on my RSL member card to get a big free breakfast tomorrow.

I fully fell asleep on the couch in my oodie while I had the radio on listening to the footy.

Just started to feel waves of drowsiness taking over me then I was out like a light for maybe an hour.

Also the garlic toast I made and had might have had too much garlic.

I have the breath of death now.

Today's question: i know you can get sub-meter circuits for mains. But can you get ones with safety switches built in? ๐Ÿค”

In other news, mordialloc vintage market was a terrible place to take me to and his lordship has no right to complain about what happened when he did. Not when I literally just bought a pikestaff

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

A medieval pikestaff type pikestaff? Cool. ๐Ÿ‘

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (3 children)

technically a pike pole I suppose, but this looks like a home built jobbo of the kind designed to do horrible things or possibly someone who got way into their kid playing Roman Centurion #3 at easter and had genX levels of child safety in mind.

......but let's be honest, who's gonna argue semantics with the woman wielding a chunk of spiked and curved metal on a 50mm diameter shaft?
