    There’s so much good music in this city. Unexpected for a place that is at the end of the world. Hell yeah Melbourne.

    Behold, my $275 wooden spoon

    Image Assembly was required. Fortunately there was an expert instructor and all tools required. It started out as a chunk of firewood, then we used an axe and various carving tools to turn it into a spoon. The wood is from a nectarine tree. Once it has dried out fully in a few weeks time I can sand and oil it to finish it off.
    It was rather hard work, and I am definitely cancelling tomorrows planned weightlifting session, as I am unlikely to be able to grip anything, let alone lift it.
    I also got a bonus couple of garbage bags full of woodchips to put on the garden.

      Did you do that? Nice job.

      I was wanting to learn how to whittle but not sure I can be trusted with a proper sharp knife

        They were very big on safety procedures and they also had cut resistant gloves. I did not cut myself or come anywhere close to doing so. I did however cut myself last night on a piece of dried chicken marinade baked onto a baking rack, so I think it’s fair to say that washing the dishes is an inherently more dangerous endeavour than spoon carving.

        It’s the ‘Rare Arts and Lost Trades’ centre at Ballarat. It’s next to Sovereign Hill, in what used to be the gold museum.

    Fuzzbutt was crying outside so I hurriedly made up the tent… but he got impatient and left. Didn’t get to give the meds. Hopefully he comes back.

    I got the tent and set it up inside just in case. The little one has forgiven me for last night and came back this morning for food and gloved pats. Was meowing to come in.

    I’ve got a big birthday coming up but am sad Melbcat isn’t here to share it. I’m probably just going to do normal stuff (or as normal as things get around here).

    Ah shit. Despite posting about it 2 years ago I haven’t been shopping around between energy retailers or applying for discounts.

    But I’ve had so much on my mind. It’s constant survival mode with no time or space to really sit down and get anything sorted.

    Time to hurry up and chill

    Question: If someone was staying at your house on their own for 2 weeks what might they find strange?

      Bed in a non-bedroom room because of upcoming works.

      The random tent inside. Either to be used as emergency ringworm cat accommodation or I can sit or sleep in there to save on heating bills this winter.

      What a weird layout the joint is, it’s a whole lot of renovations cobbled together. It’s a rabbit warren in a trenchcoat 😂. Maybe also all the weird noises and stuff in the main part of the house. But mainly the quantity of art and craft supplies crammed into my part of the house, a fairly small space. I’ve got enough stuff here to power a small primary school 😆

    Good morning migraine. And somehow I need to do a fresh install of Windows today because Windows 11 can suck a dumpster of disease ridden dicks.

      I grabbed the one off AN (of all places) and have to say that version is fine for me. Been going for 7 months now w/o a problemo. Only use it for DAW / photo stuff though.

    Is anyone here, or does anyone know, a builder in the Preston/Thornbury kinda area who can do commercial fitouts? Nothing high spec, just enough to satisfy council permits and get me started pouring beers. 😊
