Nearly felt suckered into buying a couple of books at the airport store… but nope, as much as I like the feeling of pages through my hands and not staring at a screen, I ain’t paying full RRP and I don’t have space for more books anyway. And I had a $50 Amazon voucher so phone kindle it is.
How do you feel about e book piracy?
Haha I have a stack on my ancient kindle. Been using Calibre on library ebooks for over a decade. I’m really bad at concentrating on reading these days though…
Airports are pretty much the only place I buy books (except on Audible). Consider me a sucker 😭
Man, there is just something romantic and satisfying about having a paper book at the airport and on the plane

So, I’m not normally a fan of Christmas fruit mince pies, BUT the local iga didn’t sell them all during Christmas time so they had them on clearance for 50c for a 6 pack last night!
Certainly beats the other thing they had on “clearance” which was a packet of shapes for $4
missed out on those 50c marshmallow santas this year. those things slap!
Bummer! They are pretty good!
I just dated a file for work “14.10.24”. I have no idea how I came to write this as today’s date, it’s so horribly wrong. I’m still struggling to date 2025 instead of 2024.

My stupid question of the day.
What is Sherlock Holmes’ first name?
Luckily I stopped that one before I said it out loud to Mr Seagoon, he would never let me live it down 🫥
Not really related, but you reminded me that one of my workers from 2 places ago (the last resi) called me “Sherlock” for 4 and a half years. She told me how to do something I was already in the process of doing, so I said “no shit Sherlock” (I was 12. This was 2019.) Then I became the Sherlock lol. I saw her a few months ago, and I was still Sherlock lol
You coulda doublebluffed him, ACD sketched out some stories with the character not named Sherlock but sherrinford holmes. So technically that was his first name.
Anyone delt with a conveyancer whose name implies doing precise things to punctuation? They are the major problem here.

Not here my friend
Think they’re making a joke about me using hyphens instead of a colon or semicolon
I think, anyway
feel like the day is awastin except I was up at 6and did 1.5hrs housework, then watched some telly and had the rest of my sleep
the rest of the day I’ll just potter in the garden
I wouldn’t call it a waste of a day.
I’m sitting here watching the women’s odi cricket today since 10am and it’ll end probably between 4-6pm.
I’d say you’re super productive compared to me.
What’s awastin
you raise an interesting to me trait of the english language
why and when do we put an “a” in front of a word 🤔

Um, isn’t Aotearoa New Zealand pretty much the same as Mount Fujiyama? Like doubling up when there’s no need to do so? I think I’d pick one and use that rather than both. Would depend on context I guess.
And we live in a city with a street named “High Street Road” which can be depended on to crack up visitors until they get familiar with Melb’s weird but practical road name conventions.
It is, but it does also seem to be what it’s often referred to as

Went to a gig at The Forum last night and it is a stunning theatre. Could not see much because short and squished, but was a nice night of music. I hope to go see more live music but local acts next time, and I might actually be able to see the band.

I can relate. I only hate being short when I go to a gig, because everyone else seems to have gotten the tall gene 😂
I haven’t measured my height in ages, but I’m pretty sure I’m between 150 and 160cm, so not terribly short, but tall people like gigs so it’s a pain anyway. Suddenly all the 6ft-whatevers come out of their vaulted-roofed houses 😂
