Logged into my email and teams this morning just to check. Manager said, to log off and enjoy my day.
Ps5, music and cat cuddles it is!
Edit: Playing titanfall 2 atm, brings back so many memories. Multiplayer is surprisingly still alive.
freakin LOVED titanfall 2. Probably the best shooter of the last 10 years.
Yeah man I gotta say, it beats any other except maybe doom 2016.
Fluid movement, great guns and the multiplayer is fucking amazing!
Some fuck has been flying a quad-copter over my place for a few months now. I want to build an RF jammer thing but it’s a $1.5 million or up to 8 years in prison penalty :( My only option is to convince the resident magpie to take it out.
Is flying the quad-copter over your place not illegal?
+1 to the magpie taking it out.
I thought it was. I think it’s a racing FPV drone. Noise is basically like a giant mosquito.
Slingshot?
That’s a $47k fine right there or up to 2 years in the slammer :(
Still thinking about that option. Place backs on to a lot of uninhabited empty space so no one would be at risk.
You’re not even allowed a potato gun or a glove gun… damn.
Got any garden stakes? How good is your throwing arm?
Ahaha, spud gun was my first thought, too.
Oh shit, I’ve got a potato gun. Seriously, are those things illegal? 😧😳
Oh man idk, I’m getting conflicting info
If it’s so strict I wonder what the ruling would be on those salt guns made for shooting flies. Those seem silly btw. Just a matter of time before someone gets salt propelled in their eyes
After reading a bit, I think it’s based on whether it uses combustion as propulsion of the potato missile, whether it obviously looks to be a kids toy, whether it has potential to cause bodily harm or is over a certain size. Was a very entertaining read!
I wonder about net guns. That would certainly make a drone fall out of the air.
hehe what a throw love that.
very powerful hose?

They are so annoying, aren’t they? I get DoorDash drones flying over my place, I absolutely hate them. Door Dash claims they are really quiet and fly high enough they are not annoying, but I am regularly being annoyed by the sound so that claim is obviously rubbish.
The band Dream Evil are playing tonight at the Leadbeater. It would be some good, campy Swedish metal fun, but the boys were so exhausting to deal with this morning I don’t know if I’ll have the energy come this evening to go out
If they go down alright I might just do it. I need to see The Book Of Heavy Metal performed live
Time for a nanna nap
Horsie?
If his nanna was a horsie, she would have had a nap… Or something 🚲
He might miss the race 😔
My bad I missed it :( I would have picked 11
The man threw
Will he take it? Probably not. That’s another story.
👀👀👀👀👀
And did he take it? No he did not. Idiot.
Another night, another screwdriver
Cheers mate🍺
Cheers 🍻
Flat Head. Thank you Tech school.
At $60 a kg it’s still superior although I have beige spot for rainbow trout or hammer head.
🔵How does it feel
💙to treat me like you do?
🦋When you’ve laid your hands upon me
🌀And told me who you are
I was in the between stage of going out and getting something to eat.
Was umming and ahhing if I should do it or not and ended not doing it.
Maybe tomorrow if things are open as I have to work half a day.
Extreme pollen again tomorrow and then 35 degrees on Wednesday. I should do all of my errands today but I seem to be moving very slowly.
Aus Vs Pakistan ODI is on right now!
Thank you very much.
Spent 2.5hrs cleaning labels and glue off 20 jars to give to a colleague who is lending me some boxes for packing. Jeez what an ordeal. Especially the really stubborn glue that I needed oil to remove (rubbing alcohol might’ve been better). Not keeping any more jars after this…
It was a great day otherwise though, cooking was well received and it was definitely great to get away from the city and be with others, off my phone (but also be able to leave before hitting my limit). Felt like I had permission to just take it easy and relax. Roads were nice and quiet too. Really glad I took Monday off, the extra long weekend is good for my nerves to recuperate.
Today I’ll drop off the jars/pick up the boxes, then head off to help a relative cook and pack a whole bunch of food for the homeless.
That sounds like a fantastic way to spend today!! I hope you have lots of fun!
I am also a jar hoarder, I have been reminded of how many I have that I don’t use 😅
I did a complete overhaul of my jar collection a few months ago - I had them in a bunch of different spots and once I rounded them up into one spot it was a bit alarming how many I had! I now have a space limit and only jars that fit are allowed to stay - I’m working on collecting sets of matching size jars sizes and when I manage to get a jar I prefer one of the others has to go. I do a lot of preserving so can justify a lot of jars though.
Take lids off, soak in sink of hot water
The ones that don’t have heat / water reactive glue ya hit with de-solv-it and leave soak ten mins then rinse off easy peasy
Yeah I would sometimes soak them in scalding hot soapy water until it was just hot enough to touch with gloves, and then scrub all the paper and glue off with a scourer I was about to replace.
Big ol green ones are the best
Yeah if I was gonna keep doing this I’d probably get a special product but seeing as I’m downsizing and won’t have space for keeping bottles, I made do with a hot water soak and elbow grease. All future bottles going to recycling. For the next six months anyway
Peanut butter also works and it’s tasty.
I tend to keep some goo dissolver on hand in general because it’s a very good degreaser as well
Ugh, between still suffering from Saturday’s hayfever, and my cafe being closed (no time to try another one), WFH today is gonna feel like hell.
For some reason it’s taken me six goes to post the kid’s pick.
Oh jeez. Just spoke to (78yo) mum and she had another fall. Last one was 2 weeks ago going down 2 stairs. She’s just not stable on her feet and her vision is poor. Main thing I’m worried about are hip and head injuries.
I’m going to have to convince her to wear a fall detection device which will be a difficult convo. I succeeded convincing her to give up driving (when I’m looking) but it just feels like I’m robbing independence / making her feel old.
Please have her get a full check up. Falls are a symptom of something else going on 99% of the time. My mum reluctantly agreed to wear a Live Life alarm around 18 months ago, and she wears it daily. I can check her location, and when she fell while out at a bbq Saturday night it alerted me and my brother. We had a quick chat with her through the pendant, and all was good. My MIL on the other hand refuses to wear hers, and spent a night outside after a fall. ETA: if she’s accessed My Aged Care, she might be able to get one for no cost through a program called GEAT to Go.
and spent a night outside after a fall
Gawd that’s awful.
And thank you kindly I’m going to look into that.
I can’t tell you how shit it made all of us feel. Ultimately it is and was her choice, but I’m on her ass every day now to wear it. We don’t care about the false alarms (they do happen) but I’d rather 400 of them than that phone call from her neighbours again.
At least my mum has the brains to wear it and she even said it gives her security and the ability to get out and about, and all she has to do is push a button for help.
I’m sorry to hear. It’s often a difficult conversation that doesn’t always end the way you want it to.
You’re also trying to protect her from having a horrible accident without a means for someone to get to her in time as well.
I hope things go ok for you.
Thank you. I think I’m just going to try and reduce tripping hazards when I see them and work out how to do that conversation.
Hope it goes ok…I know how hard it can be, as I went through this with my mum and OH did with his, too. MOL (mother-out-law) had emergency services break in one time when she collapsed and was unresponsive. Lucky the cleaner found her in time.
It was also very lucky that neither of them injured anyone (or themselves) by driving when no longer competent.

If she isn’t already using My Aged Care, get that process started as soon as possible.
Thank you for that, that’s a great suggestion.
Its monday and i still have a whooole weekend to go w00t w00t
Working Monday to Friday here 🥲
Time off in lieu or sweet sweet holiday pay?
2.5x pay
Niiiice. And in time for Christmas
I’ll take it. Four day weekend would’ve been lovely though
As someone who transitioned from public holiday pay to an office based role that gives me the day off… I miss the extra $$. It was a nice little boost.
