    Hello, fellow kids. I’m back. Slept 16 hours after the flight from Europe. Amazing trip. Work stuff was great, Paris was lots of fun and the Alps were so beautiful even though I had a bit of a lurgy.

    But discombobulated now though. Need food, wash clothes and moooore sleeeeps. Happy to be home. We have the best food. And I missed my bed.

    The aquarium was lovely but it did make me a little sad in some ways. The kids loved it though. I got to see some sea dragons and horses (my favourites) and tonnes of their babies 🥹

      Aw, thanks for the photos! Glad it was a nice day, even if a little sad.

      Loved the jellys when I went ages ago.

      Felt a bit sad too when I saw the penguins. I know it’s a conservation thing as well as an attraction, both poor things really didn’t have much space.

      • PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        That’s what got to me too, and the sharks: they used to have a whole ocean and now they’ve got a tank. Still, one penguin couple had an egg!

        Image So they must be a bit happy. Though I think these guys wanted us dead

      looks great

      but as you both say, it’s also a little sad

      Are we at “Silent Running” yet?

      I think we are on the road to Soylent Green.

    Today we attack the remaining trellis and jasmine.

    Still no word from the neighbour on the fuckn fence that blew over. The builders doing the renos next door propped it up from their side (without telling me what they’ve done) so I’ve propped it up from our side (again). It’s like a battle to see which way it’ll fall over next lol. I will be victorious.

    In better news. Weeping cherry almost there:

    I have now confirmed I do not like the beach (loud waves, sand, I get over stimulated and annoyed). I’m a river girl

    Stayed up way too late last night after being at a friend’s place until midnight and it’s made today feel like a total write off. This is why we need three day weekends!

      they got one of the answers wrong

      it’s an ( often secret ) escape door in the floor that you lift with a wrought iron ring or a rope loop handle

      and it pertains to all structures, not just castles

    So I went to the optometrist yesterday, and they quoted $275 just to pop out a lens and put in a new one with a slightly stronger prescription. Ridiculous. Luckily we have private health, which covers most of that amount, but yikes

    source
    • princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      That’s insane, my local optometrist would pawbably do that for free. I recently got new lenses for my frames and those were installed for free as far as I recall. Though I did order the lenses through them.

    Headache cleared up thankfully.

    Decided to go back to basics with guitar. Sometimes you can get caught up trying to make something sound “clever” instead of expressing yourself.

    Too much thinking where there shouldn’t be any, or very little.

    More Marie Kondo-ing and laundry.

    I’m wondering if I should donate the normal cat food Melbcat shouldn’t be eating or keep it just in case… She’s currently on a special low phosphate food that she likes, but it could also be causing stomach upsets. 😢

    source
    • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I usually give unwanted cat food to neighbours with cats

      source
      • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        I usually donate unwanted stuff in good condition/unopened to the vet now because they give it to clients who need it.

        Maybe I’ll give them like half of it now and see if Melbcat’s stomach settles before donating the rest

    belated second review of the movie The Brutalist

    this movie stayed with me, I have been thinking about it a lot

    My second thought was it wasn’t about the artist or art but about the nature of freedom and the innate nature of human behaviour

    my third thought is it’s about the artist in different environments and how he sees the world, how he reacts and acts differently to other people, all artists

    Every character in this movie lives in pain, suffers abuse because of who they are, they might be a writer, gay, hetero, black, young, old, Jewish, male, female, a manual labourer, a desk worker,

    And the abuses the characters suffer are interpersonal, one on one.

    But in America there are no cats , whoops, wrong movie. In America there is freedom. ( any political abuses people are suffering now are masked in lies and are unconstitutional ) The federal government doesn’t restrict people because of who they are. yes, there is a history but there is also a history of more and more freedoms enjoyed by more and more people. It’s an imperfect but improving system.

    The artist is different because he expresses the pain in his art, not just his pain but the pain of all who suffer under a repressive government. And those repressive governments might make people suffer , even kill people but they can’t stop love.

    When governments and civilisations fall and are forgotten people will still see the art and see love.

    so I suppose it’s about the limits of freedom, freedom doesn’t direct all interpersonal interactions, and how some people are driven to artistic expression

    ( Opinion here, I think people will generally act the same regardless of laws, they will find ways to be good and to be bad within the laws )
