Goodnight all. Got a 7am start, which means I've got to get up at.. counts on fingers early. Starting early because finishing early to take Miniest to a meeting at what will hopefully be her (and my) secondary school of choice. Sweet dreams 😗
Interesting new clothing shop(?) just opened in Bridge Rd Richmond. Called Infinite Apparel. It's sort of a subscription service for clothes. You pay a monthly subscription, and choose clothes from their racks - number of items depends on subscription size - eg $50 per month for 5 items and 1 pair of either shoes or sunglasses. At end of month you drop off or mail back the clothes and pick out new items to take home. They clean them thoroughly and put those items back on the racks for other users. Sort of a circular shared wardrobe.
Clothing quality is very high - natural fibres, well made and in perfect condition. The current stock is clearly skewed to the young adult male - say 20s to 30s who want to look stylish and wear a variety of quality clothing at a cheap price. Most of it is smart casual/casual. I reckon they're targeting office workers with very little closet space and who haven't the space/time/inclination/skills to do maintenance on quality clothing. Colour range is about half office-uniform neutrals, and about half brightly coloured.
If you're a standard size this might actually be a way to dress nicely at a predictable price without getting bored with your current wardrobe. Plus the laundry service of course. Short term business visitors to the city might also find it useful.

Some nice Japanese rice and furikake as a treat?? I could eat just that for ages. Pls report back, I haven't been to a Japanese shop in aaaages because I'm trying to use up all my existing pantry items
I've got a sore gum. I think it was from a very hard sausage roll crust. I'm salt watering, nurofening, bonjelaing and tomorrow I'll numb the cunt with booze.

I had the opportunity to see Ozzy and his band play live in the 90’s. He was very energetic and sounded great. Other bands that played were System of a Down, Rob Zombie, Black Label Society, P.O.D, and Deftones. Many others I can’t remember. It was a great day and at least I got to see him play.
I wish I had all the info to do mine. I have some ETFs (investment funds) and it takes them a few months to do all the end of year accounting so I have to wait. I'm expecting a decent refund so I'd really rather get it done and have the money back in my pocket sooner.
guys at broadbents bemused and somehow suspicious I would be unable to drag 60kg of paving sand down a hill on a trolley. Why, I have no idea. I am not a small woman. I'm built like a fucking mack truck.
Bamboo heavy duty thick work socks from Fantastic Variety, worn fluffy side in. Was very disappointed in my last Explorer socks, they just ain't what they used to be.
Japanese supermarket adventures update: I was toooo keen and went before any of the fresh sushi or hot food was available, but there was still cute things to check out. They had beautiful plates and bowls! Came out with furikake (thank you for the suggestion, Kitten!), miso soup, my favourite Pretz sticks. Already planning on going back when I'm on leave so I can try their sushi.
I am jealous, I definitely need glasses for driving. Or walking. Or sitting. Basically my vision sucks at all distances, so if I am doing anything that involves my eyes being open I need glasses.
I may need glasses to ensure I hug the right person though...
My close vision has deteriorated to the point I got reading glasses this year. It's a bit of a pain because I have to swap them constantly for my multi-focals every time I do something else, but it is definitely worth it to be able to read. The other main downside is that when I want to stop and think about what I read I am in the habit of staring off into the distance, and with the reading glasses on that means staring at unfocused blobs instead of trees and clouds.
Well you did choose to move to Ballarat. On the bright side, Mr Woof will probably shed out very quickly come springtime due to the cold weather. And his next year's winter coat will be extra thick and plooshy. Ditto Miss Meow.
Can I please have a big serve of that thing where you have some ingredients on the side and a bunch of lettuce leaves and then you make your own lettuce cup thing with the ingredients?
Correct to be scared imo. And I reckon things will get worse before they get better. Distinct possibility that that creep Vance will end up in the White House before term's end - and that's a horrifying possibility.
He's more clever than Trump BUT does not have the same cult following. There's still the hope that senate and congress will flip blue during the midterms, which means nothing new gets passed and impeachment can proceed (provided enough dems grow a spine).
Vance will not have the blind support that Trump did, despite being associated. Takes years to build up a base like that, and he has absolutely zero charm.
when trump dies his blackmailing dies with him, the new leadership might lose control of the gop politicians and thus the politicians will vote against leadership
so how would evil keep power
congress no longer sits, no legislation, only orders
kind of like hitler burning the reichstag ( not literally )

YAYYYYYY!!! Grats!!!

Amazing! Worth all the hard work.
Congratulations! 🎇
That's fantastic! You worked your butt of and it's deserved 🎉
Yay! Congrats!
Beast. Data: collected
The data fought me hard but I won in the end 👊🏽
my white orchid is at it's peak, it's never looked so lovely, it's just a mass of flowers
You must be feeding those things Brawndo or something
yup, I feed them handfuls of osmocote fruit and vegetable food 3 times a year
literal handfuls
That looks so beautiful!!
Thanks, it has just as many flowers at the back of the plant! There must be a hundred blooms. 😊
Beautiful!
Wow, that's stunning! I didn't know they could do so well in this weather
Wow, that’s really flourishing!
That is absolutely gorgeous 😍
That’s just beautiful! So lush
Goodnight all. Got a 7am start, which means I've got to get up at.. counts on fingers early. Starting early because finishing early to take Miniest to a meeting at what will hopefully be her (and my) secondary school of choice. Sweet dreams 😗
Good luck tomorrow!
sending you both best wishes and lots of luck
Good luck for the school meeting 🤞🏼

omg
this reminds me of a pawn shop
I imagine some kind of deposit will be required so people don't just take the clothes
The bloke I spoke with in the shop didn't mention anything like that.
90 minutes into the work day and I'm already ready to stab people.

Rebreak it and leave

Absolute fucking tools.
oh yeah. "I have issue" "please XYZ to resolve issue" "NO RESOLVE. JUST ISSUE"
Gets better. I've only been in this role like 4 months AND only 2nd time going through this process.
They've been at it for like 6 years and about a dozen projects.
It's the same process each and every time.
Catapult the fuckers into the sun
it's the same friggin' users too, and yet somehow YOU'RE the problem.
You don't have a cousin Paddy
YESSS I have an excuse to leave the office today and will happen to be going right near the Japanese supermarket I've been so so so so keen to visit!
ooo, what are you going to get?
I'm not sure yet, I haven't been able to get into it before so I'm very excited to see what they have!
Some nice Japanese rice and furikake as a treat?? I could eat just that for ages. Pls report back, I haven't been to a Japanese shop in aaaages because I'm trying to use up all my existing pantry items
I've always wanted to try a good onigiri. Wonder if they taste any good?
Ramen!!!
Always ramen.
I've got a sore gum. I think it was from a very hard sausage roll crust. I'm salt watering, nurofening, bonjelaing and tomorrow I'll numb the cunt with booze.
Got any cloves or clove oil? It can be numbing.
I've got cloves. What do I do with it?
Haha !
Meanie
I’m not sure what you mean
Chew the cloves into a little poultice then keep the clove-mash over the sore gum spot. Cloves have numbing stuff in them.
Oh right. I'm feeling a bit better now and I'm not that desperate yet. I've got medication that can numb if it gets really bad.
Yep. No one gave 2 shits about the presentation. At least it's over till next month.
I've got like a million tiny things to do around the house and stuff
I will make a list tomorrow and just spend the day crossing them all off
I want to go to bed right now.
you are the best cat dad 😽😽😽
A craft night sounds fun. That sounds like a great way to meet people.

Great shot

I'm waiting for all of S3 to be available via means before diving in. It's a very bingeable show.
Stronger than us, we get a couple eps lead max
I really really enjoyed the first two seasons, but have others things to get through first. I can wait until I cannot.
Oo what else is on the mwnu? We're cruising for fresh meat
Enjoying Dept Q on the Netflix, despite the Scottish accents (nicely turned down though).
Boondocks. Only ever seen S1 so going through 2 and 3.
Nathan For You, only ever seen the first season and a half.
Gonna watch Ironheart, cause apparently it's not that shit.
btw if you haven't already, check out peacemaker. s2 finally gonna drop, and it was actually pretty amazing.
Loved S1. Really happy there's another one coming.
It's such a bonkers show.
gymed 🦾

Captains log 634:
I wish I was at home but I need to give a pointless 10 Min presentation to people that don't remotely care about the topic.
Lame.
I had the opportunity to see Ozzy and his band play live in the 90’s. He was very energetic and sounded great. Other bands that played were System of a Down, Rob Zombie, Black Label Society, P.O.D, and Deftones. Many others I can’t remember. It was a great day and at least I got to see him play.
Was talking to workmates about Ozzy today - he definitely went out with a bang. Wish I’d seen sabbath live
I actually wish I saw Ozzy in the 80s after he left Sabbath and had Randy Rhoads as guitarist.
Alternately, I would have loved to see Sabbath with Dio on vocals, which I consider just as good,
That would've been awesome to watch 🤘
I've seen deftones live and they were amazing!
I’m not a huge deftones enjoyer but I get the appeal. They definitely have their own cool style of sound but it just never hit with me.
My old hound used to shove his cold nose into my elbow at wake up time. Never missed waking me up.
Tax done 🥂

sand now in back yard waiting pavings.
Explorer socks. Furry side in or furry side out?
It's never even crossed my mind to wear them furry side out. I guess you could, but I reckon it'd be less comfy.
Bamboo heavy duty thick work socks from Fantastic Variety, worn fluffy side in. Was very disappointed in my last Explorer socks, they just ain't what they used to be.
Furry inside of course
Furry in, for extra comfort
I've always gone with furry side in, but I checked with both Mr Woof and Miss Meow and they are adamant that furry on the outside is always correct.
velvet socks from daiso, velvet side out
Finally got my bike fixed after two weeks without. Looking forward to a commute where I'm not stuck behind a string of cars the whole way.
But first, coffee on the couch and then a chilly dog walk.
I have already done the walk and am doing the coffee now. The walk was definitely chilly, including some very crunchy grass.
Japanese supermarket adventures update: I was toooo keen and went before any of the fresh sushi or hot food was available, but there was still cute things to check out. They had beautiful plates and bowls! Came out with furikake (thank you for the suggestion, Kitten!), miso soup, my favourite Pretz sticks. Already planning on going back when I'm on leave so I can try their sushi.
Enjoy! Hope you like the furikake, it's great on freshly steamed rice 😋
Japanese dinner ware is so beautiful, last year I bought a large set of blue and white and I love it
Joined a gym and omg the amount of technology there. I think I’ll actually go.
I’m not able to stop napping 😴
Melbcat seems pretty happy though. Yesterday she was playing with her toys and smooching a visitor 🥰
yay, today's big errands are done
Went for a check up and I don't need driving glasses. I have better than normal distance vision. 👍🚗
a few more things on my to do list and then I can rest
I am jealous, I definitely need glasses for driving. Or walking. Or sitting. Basically my vision sucks at all distances, so if I am doing anything that involves my eyes being open I need glasses.
hugs , you don't need glasses for hugs 🫂
my near vision is slowly getting worse, it's not too bad , I can read but it's a little unclear , so I'm ordering new reading glasses next week
I may need glasses to ensure I hug the right person though...
My close vision has deteriorated to the point I got reading glasses this year. It's a bit of a pain because I have to swap them constantly for my multi-focals every time I do something else, but it is definitely worth it to be able to read.

Getting glasses changed my life in a really, really big way.

Edit: 5 mins later
I think I'll rest up too. Back is sore and I need to lie down.

would the gop do it? maybe
GOP would definitely try and do it, but I would hope the cult turns on them. We'll have to wait and see I guess.
Gravitas??? Um no
Yeah, dang you're right. That is definitely not the correct word.
