Yesterday the husband and kid went and looked at a few cars. They rock up to used car yard. Spot a car. The husband says to the kid "jump in. Have a look around" then a stranger appears and in his limited English and no teeth starts a convo with the kid. Then she jerries and apologises profusely. The stranger laughs and says "no worries. No worries". Yeah, she made herself home in a strange old man's car.
What he was trying to say was "this my car. This my car".

DOOM. For I am blind to my most important need and ran out of coffee on this fine morning ...
...guess after such a long time I shall treat myself to a cuppa outside, at the laundromat. And then promptly pick up supplies on the way back.
Because of the sunny days I've been able to resume my prematurely terminated data collection for uni - definitely finishing today and then tomorrow I head back to some of the initial sampling sites out west to see how the readings might've changed from the same time of day between early March to now.
I'm so glad I'll be seeing a friend for dinner tonight. I would hate having to spend the entire weekend on uni.
E: I have finally finished PHM. Face may have leaked a bit near the end when somebody went back to find somebody else. Fist my bump! ๐ญ I found out they're doing a movie adaptation, I won't get my hopes too high as to how they'll pull it all off but I have to watch it just to see how they depict Rocky!
you are making me want to read sci fi again , not that I don't, I read fahrenheit 451, the martian chronicles, helconia, etc regularly
but new hard core sci fi i would definitely read ๐
Check out project hail Mary! Audiobook or book. Endorsed by many in here. Yes, Yes, Yes!
bought it ๐
Woohoo ๐ let us know how you go ๐
I'd say Project Hail Mary is not super duper hard core, at it's heart it's about friendship (with a whole lot of genuine love for discovery and problem solving). It's a fun read. I think you might enjoy it
After 10 days of no guitar, I played non stop for about an hour without thinking. All improvised and it was fucking awesome.
Goodnight everyone โค๏ธ
Used my new glasses at work for the first time yesterday and it's crazy toggling between glasses/no glasses just how blurry the screen of the computer is without them, and I'd just been dealing with it for so long.
Speaking from personal experience, as someone that got glasses relatively late in life, be very very careful going up and down stairs. Getting glasses really fucked over my proprioception, and several near disasters later I still find I have to take my glasses off to tackle stairs.
I also found that my naked sight deteriorated very fast after I got glasses. Fewer headaches though.
Appreciate the advice thank you! The optometrist started me on a lower than ideal prescription for that very reason, while I adjust. When I tried the correct prescription it was very disorienting
bored
another lovely day here, will go into the city ๐
then back home for more unpacking and cleaning ๐
I just realised I'd forgotten about cancelling the insurance on my old car. Sorted now and a refund should be arriving shortly. Not exactly a windfall given the new insurance is nearly three times as much, but good to have back in my account anyway.
