I've been doing sewing repairs for the young seagoons and it's really hard. Much of their clothes are specialist hiking clothes and made out of hitech fibres, fibres that are hard to sew. Stretchy dense fabrics and the actual material of the fibre is hard and difficult even when using a special hardened needle.

I didn't think I was going to have a contribution to bird day, but lo and behold, a lil birdie ran on the bricks right in front of my camera!

What's the ID, bird peeps? It looks big but would've only been small in person

My guess is either some kind of small raven, or a thirsty sparrow. Maybe just a crow?

Suburban park ibis from the other day.

Only showed up about a year ago. Spreading from the Springvale necropolis lake colony.

I guess my apartment isn't so poorly insulated. Just got home after a nice lunch out thinking I'd need to blast the AC, but I've just got the fan on me and I'm pretty comfortable!

my contribution to bird day from the beach just now:

My bird theme happening is that I saw a family of noisy miners and a magpie using the bird bath. Noisy miners have unfortunately set up camp in the surrounding trees and are monopolising the bird bath, but at least if they are here, then the bird baths in other peoples yards are free of harassment for other bird species.

That's a common issue with those sorts of birds and any really good resources, they try to keep them for themselves and drive everyone else away. If you want to provide for the smaller birds too you need to have smaller bird baths and flowering plants that provide some nectar but not too much - anything too good the big aggressive birds bully them away from. That's one of the main things I've learned so far from by Backyard Biodiversity subject.

So Day 5 of the NYโ€ฆ

The space rearrangement is working really well. It is definitely is a mood booster and I somehow have started a gallery wall which I am even more excited about. Three pieces up and I can probably accommodate another 4-7 frames, depending on size and arrangement. It makes me actually want to be in the space, even if it is the dining area. (Using the dining table as a partial bar top may be also a little more enticing, haha.)

No complaints using Linux Shred. Not sure why. Last drive currently being nuked by loading the OS via USB. So far, so good. That means (as sad as it is) tower be gone tomorrow! I am also relieving myself of my giant Philips iron with its massive water reservoir that never worked quite right (it works perfectly fine, but how it steams is just odd to me). Why I hung onto it so long, I donโ€™t know. Back to a regular sized iron (a Tefal was obtained today).

If only offloading/spring cleaning had always felt this good! Still got a bit to go, but I feelโ€ฆ positive.

Thinking of the birds today, I love seeing the crested pigeon (here dubbed the sprouts pigeon in this household) in the park. They just kind of look rebellious, LOL.

Love punk pigeons with their little mohawks

It must be the week for cleaning & decluttering - Iโ€™ve been sorting out the shed. I pulled all the stuff out and have been sorting through it, and ordered some storage racks today. Feeling very accomplished

My last.fm 2024 recap thing just arrived. It's less accurate than Spotify, because every now and then it'll crap out and decide to just not count an entire week's worth of music, or I'll listen to something 5 times and it only counts it twice

But anyway, some interesting stuff fin there:

recapSome things are basically the same as the Spotify rewind. My top artists are hilltop hoods, flume, ABBA, the Chainsmokers, and the Rubens. But I listened to a total of 1,161 individual artists last year (23% of those were new to me)

2,165 albums (top were Walking under stars, loose, skin, under the sun, and colour by numbers), 31% of those albums were new to me

2,341 tracks, 30% were new to me. Top 5 were Cosby Sweater, Never Be Like You, To Her Door, Karma Chameleon, and Nothing Matters (bit of a depresso song. Was very into it earlier this year)

For the more interesting stuff:

My busiest listening day is Friday, and my most active hour is 3pm, but really I'm mostly listening to stuff between noon and midnight. But ivemoustened to something in every single hour of the day!

Most of my music is, predictably, from the 2010s. My top album from the 2010s was Walking Under Stars by the hilltops. Next up is the 2000s, my top album from the 2000s was Loose by Nelly Furtado (โ™ฅ๏ธ man eater), and next up is the 80s. My top album from the 80s was Under the Sun by Paul Kelly

I've listened to people from a few places around the world. My top artist from Nigeria was Rema, South Africa was Tyla, Russia was t.A.T.u. Ireland was Enya, and Argentina was Pez

I listened to at least 61 days and 7 hours of music (up 6% on last year), an average of 64 songs per day, and my biggest listening day was November 25th when I listened to at least 225 songs!

I'm a top 0.13% fan of Hilltop Hoods, and a top 0.02% fan of Cosby Sweater lol

Top 11% of listeners on LFM. And they refer to me as a nostalgic, discerning, adventurer

I'm also apparently the 60th top listener of the Rubens, and the 4th top listener of Under the Sun by Paul Kelly, and more specifically, the third top listener of To Her Door. That's crazy!

I forgot to post something bird related! My tribute today is to the Maggies and ravens in my street, I love watching their morning antics and their little society. And the birds which raised a baby in a nest they made in the back of my staghorn. Also the pigeon that lives in the supermarket. Smart bird, it's always cool in there and there's plenty of food. They've tried to shoo it out but it's way too clever, bobs under the aisle into the next aisle away from its pursuers lol. There are black and yellow cockies that come every year exactly at the time the pine trees in the local park have young pinecones. If you're not careful you'll end up copping a projectile from above.

My contribution to Bird Day is one of my most treasured Pokemon from Go. It was one of the first Shinys I caught.
