Big Bash grand final on Sunday!! Very lucky to have tickets it seems. Here’s hoping Perth can claim another championship!
Stepmother died, my father’s a wreck. Basically on standby waiting for him to reply for the last 48hrs so I can tell him I’m headed to the airport. He’s a stubborn bastard that doesn’t know when he needs help, but he eventually cracks. Just gotta give him space and time.
Sorry for your loss. I’m glad your father has people like you around just, there, and ready to be there when he reaches out.
Ah, it’s fine. I’m celebrating her life. Hell of a person. My father is a finer wine of me, so I know he’s the same. But I know all that death admin will be draining him on top of the massive life loss—in a time when someone needs to be left alone to reflect thale most.
If we could steal the body back, viking funeral it or something, everyone involved would be having tears of love and joy. But…that’s not how society allows it these days because of assholes, so paperwork it is!
Yep, the paperwork is significant. Especially when dividing assets are involved. Even when there aren’t any fights it takes days to work through it all. I remember when a great aunt died, my dad was named executor, it took so much longer than i’d ever thought. Wrap me up and bury me under a tree for me.
Be up in the ceiling removing old blow-in insulation. Might be able to get it all out this weekend, which would be nice.
The paper type? Has it all compressed or gone mouldy?
Yep, its long past useful lifespan, at 60 odd years old. Not much mould, but plenty of rat 💩
Two boardgame nights.
Acquired a bunch of new games over the past month.
Now is the time to try them out.
Oooh. What are your new ganes?
Got a bunch, the intersesting ones are:
Riverside - Artctic tour-boat, roll&write
Agricola - Medieval subsistance farming, worker placement.
Stroganov (deluxe box) - Explore Siberia in 1600s
Plus some Oink games. Flotsam Fight, Moving Wild, and Whale to Look.

Tried out Riverside tonight, which has a nice theme, and a heap of choice permutations on each turn.
I am waiting for the kids to go back to school next week. 9am to 3pm bliss 😆
