Makeshift cat feeder lol

Back to Melbs today.

I will miss my bestie:

She just sits there and judges my taste in music. Just outside where my studio / speakers are. Makes me wonder if she's just after food or just curious.

Apparently they have good hearing but only down to maybe 500hz or so. I like to think she's a bass head.

Today her rave choon was Im Wandel der Zeit

Also she's not afraid of fire. When I was burning some native grass yesterday she rocked up and stood there w/ me not fazed at all.

Zucchini slice with some Aldi gratin tonight woo!

No flamethrower required!

Decided to take a maintenance day today (got like 50+ days of sick leave accrued).

Bit of coffee, bit of weed, bit of people watching.

Wish the weather was a bit better though.

Hey does anyone here have an air fryer? Thinking about buying one because the Minipeelers would find it more manageable to cook some small foods for themselves rather than lighting the gas oven we have (piezo is broken so it has to be lit with a bamboo skewer). What brand do you have, and is it a good one/do you like it? I'm tending towards the ones that look like a little oven that you can see into (less heat loss when opening to see in a basket, methinks). Any thoughts?

There’s actually a couple of bands that interest me at Good Things 2025 festival. I have always wanted to see a GWAR live set and Refused are iconic.

I think I might take a year off next year and do some work / travel. I know there's this whole thing to gtfo of education and into the workforce, but I need a break from studying. It's been way too many years.

Now to find a job that will let me take a few weeks of unpaid leave!

Ewww… Instagram is introducing a new thing where they can show your location?

And it’s claimed that location sharing is off by default but I’m seeing someone saying that’s not always the case. So it doesn’t hurt to check.

Facebook tagging and check-ins were bad enough. Fuck this timeline man

I've signed up for a free soil test at the new place. When it's not raining I will collect the samples and will do a pH test too. I'm interested to have a closer look at the soil, from what I can see it is a bit gravelly, but hopefully less sandy than where I was. I think I'd rather have clay than sand.

On my walk down the beach I found another mako shark spiral egg. I just leave them there and take a photo. They are weird looking things.

Throat really sore this morning. I swear if I've picked up another illness, it's only been a few weeks since the last one! Praying it just goes away.

Figured out I think why I was getting pain on my toe.

I think it was because my boots or socks were pushing up against the loose toenail and thus the pain.

I bought a little gel sleeve that’s capped off for my toe and I’ll try that out.

Other option is to put light dressing to buffer it and use tape or Band-Aid to keep it tied on.

I pray something works.

I'm going to miss this workplace, I am not going to miss this job.

Glad I can get some guitar practice during another pointless all hands meeting lol

I think I will take it easy today, just take a walk, do some admin, some very light chores, read a book, I might even have a nap

Oh Tuesday. Fuck right off lol

🤓 Today at the beach I found a curious object , it may be a fossil rhodolith, a kind of algae stone. There is a fossil bed in Newport, near where I was walking/collecting, so it may have washed out from the land or washed up from the sea bed.

Other possibility is a botryoidal haematite nodule. It's heavy.

I took a photo.

Where's the rain? I drove to work because water is supposed to fall from the sky today

It's meant to rain today, so no bike yet. Also, I think the Illness Symptoms are not abating, so it might get worse.

punches knog in the face for their shitty scout design

time for beach walk 😊

Back to reality, bleh!
