Last night, I was probably a bit more intolerant of people than what I usually am, so apologies for that rant. I ate a donut for breakfast, which may or may not help hehe :)
It’s one thing to be tolerant as I believe you need a good amount for relationships but sometimes it goes a little too far and you have to let them know that some stuff it out of line.
If you’re feeling that now and before your feelings are going to come back again as they add up.
Donuts and pizza are the breakfast of champions.

yup, assert yourself
Thanks Duenan. I just think I got too angry, but I will definitely talk to her about it.
So, I don’t want to sound harsh, but you need to not minimise your feelings. Your home/space should be your sanctuary so you can have whatever rules/boundaries you want. Forcing yourself to accommodate people that you don’t really want to is stressful and doesn’t turn out well in the end. Trust me. Been there, done that plenty of times until I learned my lesson.
Back yourself! It’s a new year!
Absolutely, thank you :)
Getting a nice long walk in now seeing as I won’t be leaving the house for the next 2 days. Except for cat duties.
This is our rules. 10 cards each. If you pick up from the middle you’ve gotta pick them all up. And if you pick them up then you’ve gotta put down 4 of a kind. That’s it.
Second layer of jelly has been poured. I’m ready to take on the weekend now. As long as I don’t have to go outside. And as long as the power doesn’t fail.
Ooh now I want fancy multi-layered jelly. But I’ll have to buy more crystals.
If you want extra fancy, have you heard of Stained Glass jelly. Chunks of multicoloured jelly set in white sweetened condensed milk jelly. I remember it from when I was a kid but hardly see it anymore.
Set up a cheap telescope Miniest got for Xmas. She wanted to know what that bright light in the sky was and I told her I thought it was Venus. She insisted we set it up and take a look tonight. I don’t hold much hope for a great view but it should be interesting anyway.
Wallace and Gromit for me thinking about how there’s a tradition of British men inventing something in their shed that’s a specific answer to a problem no one had before.
Things that come to mind are the Brompton folding bicycle, that 3 wheeled car from Mr Bean, and the L96A1 sniper rifle.
Does anyone know of any others?
Not British, but my late grandfather tinkered in his Melbourne shed and invented a Golf Thing. Some kind of magic device to fix a particular swing issue.
This is the sort of thing I was thinking. Especially if it’s overly elaborate and complicated to fix a specific problem

The patron saint of the tinkerer
He came up in some articles I was reading. I’ll need to look into him more
Thomas Midgely. The inventor of both leaded petrol and ozone destroying CFCs subsequently invented a rope system to help himself get out of bed because he had issues from past polio. The ropes killed him by strangling him.
Aside from that unfortunate end this sounds very Wallace and Gromit
I put a cheap Kings Gazebo on the north side of the house yesterday morning.
We didn’t need to put on the AC at all!
Despite the builders best efforts, our Zero Energy designed house is doing pretty well.
We have an 80th Birthday Party here this arvo with 50ish guests. I think that we may need to turn the ACs on.
so tired,
good night everyone, sweet dreams 😘😘😘
Night goongoon
Eee 5pm rave choon time
🤘🏼
So… it’s only been recently (within the last 1-2 years) that I’ve really started shredding aeons old paperwork from primary school reports to medical files. I’ve been lugging around this expanda file that I don’t really use any more and finally pulled out all the paperwork today.
It’s not a huge pile by any means, but wow, you really can tell the story of someone’s life with this information. It’s kind of simultaneously cool/creepy. It’s also wild how people’s identities can be stolen with less.
The shredder is going to get a workout.
Ona funny side note, finally got around to start wiping my old computer. For something that was running WIN7 with 3 drives (don’t ask me), it was surprisingly quick.
Like better than the majority the PCs I work with. It made me wonder why I stopped using it… Likely portability/outdated hardware.
Waiting it for it to finish ShredOS so I can take it to recycling… Honestly, attempting to do all the right recycling things has made realise how time consuming it is. Nothing is simple!
WIN7
I still have a soft spot for that OS. On my win7 'puters, every time chrome says ‘gotta update to 10+’ I feel sad.
Three movies, the Beatles did three movies.
Something reminded me of Yellow Submarine. 👍
That’s not them though is it…?
You are right, other than the songs it used voice actors, same as in the tv series…

Barry Lyndon is free on YouTube at the moment. I’ve watched half so far, and whilst it may not be Kubrick’s best overall work, it’s one of the most technically impressive

Actually, I think it’s taken down now. I’ll just have to acquire it through other means to finish it off
