Apparently my great grandfather was a Bobby back in England. I have his truncheon. Looks like it's had a few knocks too.. probably sorted out some likely lads. Found it while sorting out my Nanna's belongings.
The DT is scary today, first a shiv wielding cat and now Bull is showing us his cosh
Nice find!
What I thought work from home would be like:
What it's really like:
"How dare you still be working?" -Gibson
Ooh, that’s a look
I have been to a predictably lame mini market
Stabby kitty 😻
Last four nights I've been grinding my teeth like a mofo, and have a slight cold. Bailed on all my plans.
My head is exploding, my teeth are aching. Ugh! That's my Sunday Rant!
I'm done and dusted. Goodnight everyone, from Gibson and her "house mate" ❤️
Goodnight all ❤️
Thought you were aiming for 2am? So close! :D
The bicycle users group had a family barbeque today. There was a ride before, but I knew taking the boys would have been enough. I didn't need to do another 20km on top of the 18 getting them there and back
Tired and literally covered in dust from helping my aunt move a bunch of shit around. But she made me lunch, packed leftovers and even gave me $100 petrol money out of sheer gratitude (after much protesting by me - she said it would make her feel better) She and my uncle have grown so much older. While I'm sad that this chapter of my memories in Melbourne is ending too, I'm very glad that they're moving on from a home that's too big and hard to maintain at their age. And I'm very glad I went out and helped them, felt very good to be of use and generous with my time and energy. I miss doing this more often.
E: downstairs is watching ABC at the same time as me waiting for Fisk to start but she's watching it on DTV and I'm watching live on iview, and our feeds are slightly off from each other. Woops.
moving on from a home that’s too big and hard to maintain at their age
Big props to you for helping them out.
so many hugs
Spooooooooooky week. Inspired by Scooby Doo.
All I have to do is clean the house, and do meal prep then I'm free to do whatever I want.
Come on motivation. Come on!
Adding gym to the mix. Fuck it why not.
A cleaner costs $60 a hour and food delivery is a thing, just think of your PlayStation and all the gaming time you're wasting!
🤣🤣🤣 All in all, I've done about 90 minutes of gaming since I got it lol
If I can get the gym, cleaning and meal prep done before 4pm, I'll play for another hour.
You see, I have this problem called "all I want to do is game all the time" so have had to be so fucking disciplined lol
Eh, discipline is overrated. You can skip leg day too.
Your ideas interest me and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter
Done. But first a message from our sponsors...
Question for anyone who's visited NZ. Is there a place that really stood out for you?
So much to choose from.
Coromandel stood out for me. Beautiful beaches.
I loved Akaroa just south of Christchurch. Went just at the end of peak season so it was still all open but not busy. Good to note that a a lot of the little towns like that are pretty seasonal so I wouldn't go at the depths of winter (dead and closed) or height of summer (feral with tourists).
For cities I love Wellington. The waterfront is 👌
So it's only taken 2 hours to get the smoker to a stable temperature, remind me why I do this to myself again?
You will be posting photos yes?
Deliciousness?!
Must have been a day for misfits. Blown headlight, almost ran out of fuel and came home too tired to bother going to a Halloween gig I’d already purchased entry to.
Oh well, c’est la vie.
Today’s list so far:
I finished with my Pyunkang Yul skincare and am now trying Purito. I did love the feel and texture of the former, but the Dermide range from Purito has helped my ridiculous dry spots in about 2 applications. I think the barrier cream is like the La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume, which I didn’t use effectively. We’ll see how it all goes by the time I finish the Purito products.
Happy Sunday, all.
I’d like my face not to resemble sandpaper.
Just offered the psychiatrist across the road some green bin space as he's pulling out a lot of stuff from his fence. His wife is a pharmacist.
Wonder if they'll give me a free sesh and some drugs.
Party at yours? Let us know if they're taking orders.
I love fresh bed linen but doing the stripping and remaking of the bed is annoying. I have a special dislike for stuffing the doona back into the cover. But I always appreciate it once I’ve done it, and am looking forward to the fresh made bed tonight. Mmm crispy clean bed, good sleep ahead.
Forgot I did washing yesterday and left it in the machine overnight.
Whoopsie doodle.
Wonder how many tissues I left in pockets.
still fighting this computer, investigating the screen flicker and trying systems settings to see what happens
Asked Boyo to fix my eyebrows. Threw his hands in the air and said there’s nowhere to start. Guess I’m the White Witch now, but feel rather Black.
Saw someone I knew ran a marathon, so I went to search them on Strava. They have their map on and so I can see where they've started and ended their runs, unless they've hidden part of their route. That is super dangerous information to have on there.
There was famously an issue where deployed military personnel were accidentally telling the entire world exactly where they were because they’d go for a run around the base and Strava recorded it…
It's getting more and more difficult to use the internet and tech safely or anon.
I gave away my fitbit as it was no longer possible to use it anon. etc etc
and yet trolls and bad actors seem to have no trouble 🤷♀️
maybe i should learn how to be a troll ...lol, just so i can be a bit more anon .
Library books just went back. Grand
