Buenas Noches all. I came here cos it was linked from the old reddit one which is alright sometimes but has some trollers. I see some names from the old lockdown days and pre-reddit "protest" purge. Hope you guise are all well.

Getting there! One bed's soil is fluffed up and looking pretty. Added some dynamic lifter too for good measure. Soil will subside a bit so going to throw on somefing on top and give it a another scratch before spring.
That bed has never been more empty. Feels good to have a clean start. Also felt good standing on that retaining wall on the right with all my weight and it didn't budge.
Cheerful morning people should be shot and fed to the early bird
I'm gonna be cheerful if all my body parts are working as they should. Ya gotta take the small wins.
I’m not a morning person, some of my friends are very cheerful in the morning and as much as I love them I always want to strangle them at times.
Hearing one of the kids on the hockey team introduce his great-grandma to my son. Totally wild. My great grandmother lived 1867-1952.
I didn't even really get the grandparent experience as a kid, let alone great-grandparents.
1867-1952
That's a great innings for back then!
Finally found all my micro USB cables, and a watch I've got looking for about a month or so.
My girlfriend will collect things up in a grocery bag and dump it in the front room, or even on my desk, when she wants to clean and feel productive.
Unfortunately that just moves a bunch of unrelated things into a bag together that becomes harder to go through and I lose things because nothing is in a place that makes sense anymore
Ugh Mr P does the grocery bag thing too, just takes everything he feels is superfluous to the room, bag it up or toss it into random containers and dump it in a cupboard or under a bed. I hate it as it then becomes a separate more involved job to go through all the containers and bags and put stuff away like it should have been.
That was the situation with my watch. There are two places I usually put my watches and it was in neither of them so I couldn't find it. Then I'm looking for a USB cable that will actually transfer data and there it is in a bag with all this other stuff
welp, today I learned first hand just how hard it is to get vanilla slice custard off a cat
Peanut butter off a kelpie's back - I've been there. Not fun for anyone involved.
we need the back story on this
I was eating a snotblock, cat was interested, sniff sniff, paw paw, glob of custard down her front.
Oh dear. Pretty sure I already told the beetrooted white cat tale.
wiggles on bed alongside a pair of wiggly cats
They got breakfast when i had a five am pee, but they managed to swindle a second breakfast on Friday so now they're being extra coquettish in hopes of a repeat performance
It’s a slippery slope. We fed ours at the table once and the pestering then continued for years
My kid and her friends encountered some cookers today so they stopped, read their little signs, had a giggle then as they moved on yelled "you are all a bunch of morons". ☺
I wish I was able to do more stuff
House is clean. Time to crank the amp!
Gibson got a new wand toy today, so let's see if she completely ignores it as usual lol
Whoo, what a long day. Out to the city for movie, chat with friend, lunch at a HK cafe to satiate my cravings (Ovaltine! And yu xiang eggplant and you tiao), then sitting with my friend for hours of driving as she just bought a car and only recently got her licence and wanted to practice driving various routes including all the way across town... had a video call with a family member in between... I'm ready for bed now honestly. Also it's cold again. zzzzzz.
This will be my monument....
This will be a beacon when I'm gone.....

4/5 stars. Food is great if you ever get it, skilled and charismatic chef, but chef sometimes falls asleep after opening the food truck resulting in multi-hour delays. Worth the wait if you have nothing on.
Still not really anything done today. Lots of sleep deprivation related blues. But at least I went to the gym. We shall persist. There is another chance tomorrow.
Get the openwrt core router working, taken apart and old school serial hacked a tplink to get the first WAP up and running, get it integrated, go to do the second one and...motherfuuuuuu i did not check the version number it is unsupported
whine leya want make mesh wi fi
That's it! The heater is going on.
Same. Electricity bill ain't so bad with a job.
Just finished putting together one of those Kmart trolleys.
I feel like I've been stomped on by a troupe of tapdancers.
Cleaning the house top to bottom. It's a big place and it's so easy to ignore until it's too messy.
Not exactly exciting, but necessary
Went down to the Burnley Brewing taproom for their closing down takeaways sale. Filled my little 9.5L homebrew keg with IPA at $5/L and bought three cases of cans too.
My sternum is sore.
Plz explain.
In other news I am suitably stuffed from lunch and I’m up for le mini-golf this evening. Still buggered from Uni, but otherwise excited.
I have now been relegated to my much loved Savoys, but fear I have fallen in love with Jatz.
Another eBay item sold. If my postage calculations are correct I am now $12 richer in money and one shoe-box size richer in space.
So tired today. I only worked 2 days this week but they were pretty physical days and I'm knackered. Managed to get a load of laundry done and the kitchen cleaned. Forgot I've been playing nurse to covid sufferers this past week, which has been oddly stressful and emotionally tiring. I just feel spent.
That and you are still recovering yourself! Feet up and rest woman!
ffs, Ted Cat is a smoke persian and so godamn fluffy. So very cute but he bites and claws the whole time when I brush him, I wear gloves now, and he is a bit of a stinky dag. Def not a neeb cat like Bill.
I got scattered sleep last night and probably only slept for five hours. Today was meant to be assignment day. We shall seize the day regardless.
I felt like I got the same amount despite trying to go to bed early last night.
Didn’t feel rested when I woke up.
Went to a cardio class where we had to accumulate distance on the bikes and rowers as a team. My team came second last, but the team that came last had their bike reset the metres in the one of the rounds. Was a good workout regardless. Feel better than I would have if I didn't do anything :)
