Re username vs Rowling being a piece of shit, imma just go with SaneMartigan for the new one. I've made an account it's just pending approval.
Finally! Some rain. Ok, I could use a bit less chilly southerly wimd, but the rain is wonderful!
Pretty awful day to be out and about but it was made bearable through teamwork (can't believe I said that). I might do some work from home tomorrow and see if the cat can be enticed to enjoy some lap time on the oodie. In fact, I might do a bit of that tonight if I feel up to it... sox was remarkably affectionate when I got back and even did a bit of lap sitting in order to furiously headbutt my gloved hand. I suppose she must love the hand that feeds her the treats 😁
I’m glad she’s warming up to you again, did it always take awhile for her to warm up to you?
When she was younger and she lived in the same apartment complex at me she was pretty chilled out even on the first day, though it took her longer to get comfy enough for lap time.
This time around she's started off hot but then gone a lot further. I guess there's not much else for her to do in this tiny apt either...
She’s settling in fast! Cats struggle with change but she knows she’s with someone safe
Yes, I don't think she was too happy at all about having to move and was certainly upset about it at the beginning. But I think food and warmth trumps a lot of misgivings and she definitely remembers me now even though I'm not in the same place.
brief lap shot
2 people are probably going to quit in the next month or so.
And so the cycle repeats :(
Damn homey, you've got shitty luck with workplaces it seems. Hope this one pans out at least, or something better comes along.
read that as "damn, honey" at first, thought you were getting sassy.
And I'm back safe and sound. Home in about an hour. Then feet up with beer and a game I haven't been able to play because I didn't bring my laptop to perth
welcome back 😘
😍
I feel cold, even though the heating is on, and I’m on the couch under a blanket. I hope I’m not getting the lurgy thats going around.
I rode to work today, which meant I had to ride home. But weather like this is never as bad as it looks once you're out on the bike
The aftermath, with wet socks, can be unpleasant.
Exit row, window seat, winning.
Omg and an empty middle seat?!
Melbourne will welcome you back with its horrible weather with open arms!
It's... Beautiful..! 🥶
Exit row, middle seat is my jam. Window and the fuselage takes up some of my space. Aisle and the drinks cart (and people) constantly bump into my shoulder which pokes into the aisle. Exit/middle and I've got plenty of leg room, I don't get bumped and I can get up for a wee without bothering anyone.
Hellll yeah!!! Have a safe and comfy flight!
here there be cats
Yes sir! Sir? Moving out! Orders received! Unit reporting! Unit ready! On my way!
StarCraft?
Tiberian Sun. Partner has the speakers so that's all I'm hearing
It was a little cool down at the beach today. A jumper and slicker was not enough.
There was a pair of masked lapwings and that swan followed me until I left the area.
I found a squishy glitter fish fishing lure and a bunch of fishing line which I picked up and threw in the rubbish
Hai beach friends!!
I saw someone complaining about whitewashing spartacus and was like...you do realise the dude was essentially bulgarian, right?
People are uneducated. They hear Spartacus was Thracian and have no idea what that means 🤦♀️
White =England and Norway and Germany s/
goddamn weirdarsed american paradigms
Have removed something the approximate colour and consistency of a pea from my sinuses. Ouch.
Hmm petrol prices jumping up 60 cents today. Seeing 209.9c for unleaded.
Thanks for the heads up!!
I've had split pricing near me for a few days now. 157 at one and 209 at the other, both Ampol.
Hoping I can make it till payday before it jumps back up again.
fingers crossed
Oooh shit going up that much again? So much for oil prices coming down or whatever. I'd better fuel up, I'm down to 30%. Thanks for the heads up!
Melbcat has had her solensia and is cuddly 🥰
I’ve just fed her and am about to ruin it all with medicine
The name of this Melbourne Central promo is a bit of a head scratcher
Cold nearly better. 🚫 🤧
Welcome back YarraByte! I hope you had a nice long weekend.
I've gotten myself into the habit of going to bed after 1. Even when I try to go to bed earlier I find myself faffing about and staying up until then. I need to try force myself to go to bed earlier and break the cycle
Tired today. Woke up too many times. Going home early.
I've been following this bloke for a while. Interesting analysis of current events in USA. Thoughtful, intelligent and well informed imo. link
I'm so glad we voted potatoface and all his tribe out.
I'm comprised of a variety
Of low- to high-key anxiety
A simple minded entity
I need only cats and coffee
Got down to the garage and in the car before I realised I still had my slippers on. Great start
Oh no. I once rocked up to a restaurant with my imitation crocs on. I didn't realise until I'd actually arrive at the destination and was getting out of the car. It was only at Okami but still.
