Has it stopped f#+-*' raining yet. Damn what a washout Saturday was. Thankfully Sunday had lots of dry spells as I was picking up a few things.

So if anybody recalls the crash that I witnessed on Friday on my way home and I said that a lady had called me about it later. I was getting on the ferry and asked her to call back in 45 minutes as I'd be home. She didn't call back but I listened to the voicemail she left. I've wiped it now but I thought she said can I call 000. On Saturday I did and the cop said that nobody would have called from the police, and anyway I've now called the emergency number. I apologised. So, who the heck was this woman, was she a scum bag reporter that somehow got my number because I called it in ? This is really weird.

Later that night not too far away a 34 year old motorcyclist lost his life not too far away on Mt Cotton road. Sadly he seems to have hit a stationary vehicle in the rain. Mt Cotton road is a damn dangerous road. I saw a gang of cyclists turning into it on Sunday morning and shuddered. Each to their own.

Hope you have a decent Monday.

The group of people I cycle with pretty much have a hard rule against riding in the rain.

It's more for comfort and an excuse to skive off than it is for safety, but that's an added bonus.

That voicemail you got was a weird story. Real weird.

Hey I'm totally fine. Thanks for the well wishes though.

And something else, I still peruse Reddit even though I'm banned from commenting. I can't believe how much time I have to click on the "show fewer articles posts like this" and mute most of them. Christ just because I saw a bit of dodgy plumbing and clicked on it once doesn't mean that I'm super interested in all things plumbing. What a shit show.

Yeah same as Bandicoot, I can only ever view Reddit at old.reddit.com. The redesign is awful.

I still browse reddit every now and then, but I use the old interface to do it. Makes it a bit more tolerable.

Unsure what I'm on and if I can get that on my phone. I'll have a look.

Just change "www.reddit.com" to "old.reddit.com" (literally just replace www with old) and voila!

Cant use all the fantastic apps like Reddit Is Fun (golden platinum edition, thanks for asking) but still better than Reddistagram which it appears to have turned in to.
