    Coming home from the city today there were all these cops milling around at the gates to the station. Seeing all the cops just milling around with the vigil for the guy behind them made me want to say to them, “bit late now you useless cunts.”

    There are posters and shit around demanding the police station be open 24/7 as a result. It makes me ask, where the fuck were the cops the night all this happened? They’ve shown they can increase their presence at the station whenever they want, and our wannabe liberal member got a hold of my email address and was harping on about the crime at the station months ago.

    So if this was a known issue, how was a kid able to be mugged in the first place? And why was a regular passer-by the person to intervene. The demand is going to be for increased police presence, but I feel this whole incident and the police response shows how useless and ineffective they are.

    Like really, do they expect kids to try mug anyone at the train station so soon? What do they think hanging around at the station will achieve aside from justifying their own existence?

    The only time I’ve seen the police at the station before this was at 6pm on a week day to catch fare evaders. Who do they think they’re stopping at 2pm on a Thursday? Bunch of useless cunts, the lot of them.

    Still at the hospital.

    Stuff is back to normal but they did a thyroid blood test and they think it’s over-active which might have led to the heart stuff.

    Feel bad, the strays will be waiting and I ain’t getting home anytime soon

    I visited the new Rosanna library today. The balustrade pictured here is 10mm thick steel. Obviously it wouldn’t be a single piece but it looks like one. It’s quite astonishing. I’m puzzled by the fact that it’s painted though. If you use a material like that in a way that’s a bit unusual and clearly meant to be a design feature, don’t hide it with paint 🤷

    That’s a spoonbill at the beach, they swish their bills in the water to feed. I don’t see many of them as seagulls hate them and will drive them away.

    I also saw fairy wrens, some big ducks, pelicans, seagulls, terns, stilts, moor hens, red cap plovers, topknot doves, sparrows, willy wag tails,

    and lots and lots of star fish .

    It really was good to see all the wild life even if it was so cold and windy today

    The other day my building’s fire alarm went off, and it wasn’t a test lol I spent 5 minutes chasing Mickey with a towel to get him in the carrier and then hustled downstairs to hang with all the other resident cats in their carriers.

    Took about half an hour, but it turns out the cafe they’re putting in downstairs on the street, they’re doing renos, tripped it accidentally. No actual fire.

    We got back upstairs and Mickey promptly nipped my ankles and calves, until I plied him up with a tube treat mixed with some dry treats.

    This is him afterwards

        I don’t think Mr Woof would go well in an appartment, but in a house he’s great - he self-evacuates to the back yard every time there is a noise he doesn’t like. Which includes smoke alarms, blenders, crockery clinking… He evacuates multiple times a day when I’m home!

        Miss Meow would be a problem if she gets scared and goes into hide mode. She’s black and can melt into shadows, there is a good chance I wouldn’t be able to find her in an emergency.

    Organising win for the day: the box my fit watch came in is the perfect fit to go in my bathroom organiser and tidy up my unruly packets of dental floss picks.

    I’ve tidied up the bathroom cabinet a bit, and a section of the pantry that was a chaotic mix of vitamin pills, pet supplies and a few random things that were far better off elsewhere.

    I’m continuing to work on the area of the study that became a dumping ground for all the miscellaneous stuff I wasn’t sure where to put when I moved. The plan is to clear out all the excess clutter and tidy everything up and create space for the new fitness stuff.

      When I was in Perth last October, my partner and I were waiting in the car, in the carpark, and we saw and were approached by American Mormons on a mission lol. They tried to convert us, we politely declined and they left. They were two young women, maybe barely 18-21?, and there was an older man close by keeping an eye on them, I assume like a chaperone.

      It was very strange. I didn’t think they came to Australia, I thought their missions usually involved going to the global south, not the actual south lol

    My new fitness watch is arriving today arrived as I was writing this message, so I’ll be able to start actually tracking my steps. My initial goal for steps should be quite achievable: wear the watch for a week and figure out what I’m actually doing now.

    Some weights are expected to arrive today or tomorrow, most likely they will arrive tomorrow with a whole bunch of stuff that will be piled up at my door for me to struggle to move inside after getting home late from Melbourne. Any time you only have one day you’re not home that’s when the parcels are most likely to be delivered!

    As well as the treadmill I’m also waiting on some new scales, as mine died last week after I finally got around to putting new batteries in. It managed one last weight measure, then got stuck trying to connect to wifi and passed away peacefully overnight. Plus some little miscellaneous things like a little whiteboard to write down my plans and some new shoes.

    Every night I wake up into this awful sickening void. Melbcatless. I loved her. Unsure if I’m giving myself a break to heal or self isolating.

    The trigger of the spray cleaner bottle wasn’t springing back after being depressed so I got in the habit of pushing it forward with my ring finger to keep on spraying… doing that scraped some skin off my finger and it’s now trying to get infected. I’ve attended to it and it’s starting to look better but I’m watching.

    Haven’t seen the shadow around. It’s a mix of relief and guilt.

    I’ve sent a get well package to someone, I forgot if they’re a tea person 😵‍💫

    more PHM and physics

    I had an image of the universe being like hills and troughs , a non euclidean spacescape

    and another image I had is of countless overlapping spheres with geodesics

    both these are products of the way time time space is depicted in books

    but once I remembered that each illustration is meant to describe only one instance, one body, then those constructs are obviously wrong

    space is just space, there are no hills and troughs or spheres

    all that is happening is one object behaving like it’s on a hill or trough or sphere , there are billions of objects out there each going on their own specific paths

    I’m still not good with gravity and time dilation, I will study more 🙂
