    I mentioned the other day that I knew one of the boys that was murdered in Sydney. It was Luke Davies.

    I had only known him for a couple of years, since his cabin crew training here in Melbourne, so I am not close enough to his friends or family to really be connected to their community in mourning.

    But in my own way I just want the universe to know that each and every word about how he was a beautiful soul are true.

    This is a fate that I am still failing to comprehend. My heart aches for his family and close friends. I will dearly miss him.

    Just one more big bear hug would have been nice, hey fella?

      Library trip!!! Or take a leaf from @baku’s book and go travelling to somewhere. St Kilda pier for cakes and coffee? Altona Beach? PT goes to a lot of places even if you limit yourself to trains/trams.

      If they taped shows or movies off the telly there will be old ads

      ( first show I saw on tape was Blake 7 , I borrowed a player from the library at school, it was 1978. )

      You might also need to use a tape head cleaner first .

      Ha. I have a VCR. I don’t think it has been plugged into power at any point in the kids’ lives. It’s just been there at the bottom of the entertainment cabinet, dark and mysterious and ignored.

      The only tapes I still have are Star Wars remastered (Han still shoots first) and 1997 editions. Widescreen versions.

      I should put them on one day. In this day and age of streaming and Bly Rays, VHS will be an experience.

    This weekend has made me moody and I don’t want to socialise much. I hate to admit that I’m trying to make food stretch as long as I can so it’ll be less of a burden to deal with food next fortnight, let’s hope I don’t get sick from doing it.

    Waiting for my dad to come by who wants to store something, will I be at home today? Yes I will.

    Thanks son, I’ll come by and put it in your garage, oh by the way, I need your help carrying it into the garage.

    Thanks dad, just make it all the more inconvenient and disturb me when I don’t want to see anyone and have a headache.

    sigh

        Yeah though I was left feeling annoyed.

        Clearly I wasn’t feeling well and I said I wasn’t doing well but he didn’t ask about what was wrong, just interested in putting the glass table top in the garage to store for some god forsaken reason.

        Pretty pissed with him that he didn’t a shit.

      I hesitated to post Life Of Boris, because with the Ukraine situation it seems really touchy. But while his cousin is/was in the military Boris himself is a civilian using a fake accent and likely not even Russian. (People speculate that he’s Estonian.)

      So here’s a playlist of extremely budget food ideas if you’re really stuck. This dude’s specialty is surviving the end of the month. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbS0HkS8Xsoq1j4kiZFLP9w1e3pQADR3g

        Not too stuck on what to do. Just wish I had money to actually do things with.

        I’m going to see if I can get some more cherry tomatoes from work, they add a nice sweet taste to my sandwiches at the moment.

        My rock bottom is just 2 minute noodles and a bunch of frozen veggies.

        I’ll have at it when I’m in a better mood. Videos don’t click with me when I’m not in the mood because I have to stop everything I’m doing to watch one.

            I’ll be ok. I have a lot of pasta and pasta sauce here and a lot in the freezer as well.

            Thank you for your thoughts and help

    I wish a bug was as entertaining to me as it is to my cat.

    That said, big day of interview preparation coming up. Got my friend to help me with some technical stuff this evening so that will help heaps.

    Enjoy your day everyone ⭐

    Presenting the beginnings of the metric polypipe DOME OF DOOM for the chilli patch.

    Garden ties and an old bike tube as lashing. I doubt it’ll be sturdy enough but we’ll see

    Think I might wait and think about the netting for the next week and just see if the frame holds up.

      This is giving off pyramid vibes. Maybe put razor blades under it to sharpen them up (and discourage the chilli thief).

    full offense to A Certain Workplace but me kinda drunk operating with a hand full of fruit tingles is a better fucking laptop repairer than their entire dedicated staff.

    (going over my loot so far not even a bung part. JFC. Corporations that do this need to be shot.)

      I know. It’s lucky I didn’t reef it across the room.

      I’ll take a rain check on those gummy worms. I’ve been very good on the sugar lately.

      Edit: whoops I replied to the wrong comment. I knew this would happen some day.

    The crazy yelling guy in my neighbourhood is getting quite deranged. He was sitting at a tram stop screaming incoherently at a bunch of people sitting outside at the pub for a good ten minutes or more, a cop car even drove past entirely unaware. He always sounds really hoarse and threatening, always loud, but I can barely make out what he’s saying

    Why is it so hard to figure what to write about difficult family stuff in a kind considerate way when dickheads seem to have no trouble finding the words to be nasty .

    Not enough brain for proper sewing so made twiddles. Very happy with colour match, but the advisability of usage near felines remains to be seen. tassels

    Just drove back home to the city from Ballarat. The smoke is absolutely disgusting there. Got into my apartment and promptly spewed my guts out. Not sure if it’s the smoke or something I had.
