Dad called me upset that someone had stolen his delivery. Congrats arseholes, you have yourselves a month's supply of doggie insulin. It's totally useless to you.
Except that it cost dad $530, and it needs to be chilled. So even if you return it tomorrow, it's no good for the dog.
(It'll probably be covered by contents insurance because the delivery driver left a photo of it on the doorstep, but even $200 excess is not a trivial amount for a pensioner in his 80s)
Surely if life saving meds are being delivered it's up to the company to make sure they are actually safely delivered into people's hands. Doorstep is not good enough.
Am highly amused by Bob Katter Streisanding himself today. I didn’t know he had Lebanese heritage until now, although I reckon all the Lebanese aussies will be thinking oh god, no
I just wanna put it on record that the thick, curly, shower drain clogging head of hair my daughter inherited did not come from me. Pulling what looks like dead rodents out is gut churning. I need a strong mind altering drink.
In all honesty she does have beautiful envious hair.
I don't give it a name but I do give myself a pep talk as I'm digging in there. puppies and kittens and sunshine and rainbows and roses and I hope it fits through the hole and keep your mouth closed and try not to puke.
Had a nice catch up with some old friends after work. Very cold out. Decided to try a new dish, hand pulled dry noodles with lamb tripe, chilli, garlic, capsicum etc. way better than I thought it would be. The tripe was really clean tasting and really chewy and springy. Pleasantly spicy. Company was a lot of fun. Had some good laughs, serotonin went boing.
Tempers flaring around the office today, can we just not? Furthermore, I'm putting a ban on all "heyyyy, I've got a weird one for you" requests until my successor comes in next week.
adulting has been done, visited a physio to get an appt/program to get pt for strength building in my legs because of my sciatica. I'm great at walking, not so great at anything else, Hard to get appts, they are so booked out!
With days getting warmer I've been thinking of getting cheap fishing shirts to wear on the bike. They're full sleeved and made of sun resistant material. Get ones with sensible colours on them and you could even get away with wearing them in the office.
It’s been a miserable news week. Porpunkah, bus crash, Iranian religious attacks in Australia, shooting in US. And the ongoing wars in Ukraine and Palestine, and everything else. I like to keep informed but sometimes it’s better to just switch off for awhile.
there's one woman at work who drives one of those small MGs. It looks like a Suzuki Swift from a distance, which is fitting, because she is like the most Suzuki Swift driver coded person I've seen since a teacher from my highschool
Was that one of those 4wd style ones? They've been quite popular. This is one of those more modern, rounded looking mini style cars that brands do every now and then.

Alrighty. First song completely memorized no issue.
Taking a break for an hour then hitting the 2nd song. It's not that hard just has some tricky right hand rhythm parts.
Then rehearsal tonight. I want to walk in there completely confident in my playing!
you've got this ☺️👍
Welcome back Yarrabyte! I was beginning to wonder if you and Botbot had run away to sea, or maybe taken up a Life of Crime.
Botbot and Byte (Bonnie and Clyde)
Yeah I can hear both the songs in my head now without looking at the guitar.
Success!
2 and a half fucking hours repeating the same 2 songs until they're locked into muscle memory.
This is what happens when you don't practice every day like you promised yourself you would lol
Yes, yes I did.
😍
Now that is is one damn FINE raclette coming up. By the light of one zillion fancy candles. Save some for meeee.
I'm trying to give some away! It worked with the stinky cheddar.
Give some away directly into my mouth please

From the way he was talking it sounded like it was a routine delivery until it wasn't there.
I hate thieves. Imagine stealing insulin. Hoping your dad manages the costs
Rehearsal went awesome!!!!
Yayy!
that's great 😊
Yay!!

....someone bought their tickets to the Louvre this morning.
(Me..it was me...I'm doing it.....eeeeeek)
oo la la, trip to France! Exciting!!
You...it was you...whoa...whoa...flappy hands.
Congrats!!!
Oooh that's so exciting!! When abouts are you going??
SOON!!!
eeeeeeek, Awwwwwwwwwwwwwesooooooooooooooome
Is that your first time to the Louvre?
It's very very big, plan your trip, determine which galleries you want to visit ☺️
also, every cafe within 250m is full of grifters, pickpockets, dodgy food and gigolos.
I'll have an affogato and three gigolos please
tres gentil
Yeah first time. Been to Italy a bit but not France. I am very excited 😆. Not so much about the pickpockets but the gigilos 😏
Sushi, sushi, sushi, 🍣

My apologies if you're eating lunch.
Shower drain clean up is my least favourite chore and I'm the only in the house who has the stomach for it.
I call it 'Wookie fetus extraction'
Hahaha.
I don't give it a name but I do give myself a pep talk as I'm digging in there. puppies and kittens and sunshine and rainbows and roses and I hope it fits through the hole and keep your mouth closed and try not to puke.
I wear rubber gloves and have a disposal bag at the ready. Only see it for a brief moment and then it's gone from eyesight.
For the smell, when cleaning bathrooms, I'll wear a facemask or buff (leftover from lockdown days)
Gloves are a must for me too. I use paper towel to extract it off the wand and into the bag.
I got that little drain filter dish on so it never blocks
I do have some of those and they are going on today.
Cut through it then pour some citric acid down there so you don't need to deal with it at all
Will do.
Morcheeba makes a nice backdrop to productivity
Morcheeba is a nice backdrop to anything

“Hey I’ve got a weird one for you, can you do my job so I fuck around on my phone? Thanks! You’re the best!”
If you’re interested in what can be done with electronic musicians and a singer songwriter, try this.
There’s a live in studio clip on YouTube which is incredible.
Might take some of my industrial tracks and shop them around for a singer.
I found a few shells at the beach and found a rainbow too 😊
That is a likely place for shells to be
likely place for sea shells while land shells can be found in nearly every garden 🐌
Where have you been hiding?
Mrs Weasley Screech: "Where HAVE you BEEN?!"
soft plastic recycling now a goer
Yes the plant's in NSW, but they're taking plastic from WA and QLD so why not Vic? Time to go back to sorting the soft plastics out of landfill.
I have just bought a new alarm clock, an old fashioned one. My old alarm was just not doing it for me.
👍
I found the sound of an old fashioned alarm clock to be a bit too alarming.
I’ve been alternating between apple and ginger tea, and raspberry tea, all day.
Five huge mugs deep, I’m quite glad I chose caffeine free options

Brain age check. Do you know what Clarice and Clarinda are?
Clarice from Silence of the Lambs, Clarinda the suburb in SE Melbourne? That's where my brain went.
I'm with Spin.
Um, no. These two are much more proximate to each other.
twins from a dreadful movie
Also no. I thought this joke was more Widely known
I googled it and got shoes 😭 What's the reference?
Are you me? Because I did the same.
John Howard's eyebrows
Wat. 😶 I love that that's a thing.
Benefit of not really vibing with anyone in the office, is that I get a solid amount of work done.
So much, in fact, that I'm a few days ahead. Today and tomorrow should be very cruisy for me and from the comfort of my own home.
Meanwhile my boss and I are weighing up the pros and cons of living in the Faroe Islands within 15 minutes of the day starting...
Biggest cons for me would be having to eat mutton. And access to medical care.
Everything else seems blissful?
With days getting warmer I've been thinking of getting cheap fishing shirts to wear on the bike. They're full sleeved and made of sun resistant material. Get ones with sensible colours on them and you could even get away with wearing them in the office.
Have a look at golf shirts too. They've got a good combo of needing to look sharp and be able to be exercised in.
I'll look out for them too. Golf shirts might look a bit more professional than most fishing shirts do
Who's watching the Legends Game?
I'm not 🍻

another day scared witless by the news 😭
do youse guys remember me posting a video last week
"under authoritarian rule everyday life seems normal"
everyday life is normal until it's not
It’s been a miserable news week. Porpunkah, bus crash, Iranian religious attacks in Australia, shooting in US. And the ongoing wars in Ukraine and Palestine, and everything else. I like to keep informed but sometimes it’s better to just switch off for awhile.
Tony Zaret has put out another video and lets just save I've re-evaluated it in 2025 and it's a subversive underrated masterpiece.
I've shown my girlfriend a few of his videos as she's an Adult Animated Film watcher and the latest hits that demographic again.
ONLY Animation Is Cinema
The soundtrack to K-Pop Demon Hunters has eaten my entire brain. Please. Save me
I was sure I wouldn't like the movie and get on the soundtrack hype train, but I was wrong.
We were all wrong. It’s fun and catchy.
"'Cause I'm gonna show you how it's done, done, done"
Night all ❤️

We had a loaner MG awhile back. It was a nice drive but surprisingly tall to get into.
Was that one of those 4wd style ones? They've been quite popular. This is one of those more modern, rounded looking mini style cars that brands do every now and then.
Maybe? It was quite zippy .seemed taller than necessary
