I’ve seen the ads for the Cartier exhibition at NGV and I know the setup for a heist movie when I see one

I’ve been to see it, it’s worth going. The pieces are stunning, incredible artistry and workmanship. Not to mention the awe of how much $$$ it must all be worth! But yes, I can see the movie plot unfolding too!

I’m thinking classic fake-out. Someone does an obvious bungle trying to steal them and the rest of the crew scoop them up when the jewelry is being moved to another location

New Adventures in Train Travel
This time the train made a quick track change to avoid collision with a slow freight train ( train driver told us personally once we got to the next station and stopped, she was a bit shook up )
we ended up on a different line and going to different stations
that was a 1 hour extra trip
at least no one hurt

avoid collision with a slow freight train
Gawd that must be rare (and a bit worrying).
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Ooh gosh, am glad it didn’t end up any worse!! Good on the drive for reacting accordingly, hope no one was grumpy about the change of direction!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
it would have been a dramatic crash, a very heavy slow moving freight train and an accelerating passenger train. Luckily the train had very few passengers, maybe 2 dozen
once we knew what happened we were all grateful to the driver and happy we were safe
Catfish@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Yikes! So lucky you were near a shunt point
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
coming out of Newport rail yard toward Seaholme there are many shunts and sidings
I imagine there will a safety investigation. Why were the signals green? Why was the freight train there?

Today is Bin Day. I know this is overseas news but it effects us all. Here’s hoping the overlord count binface wins his election and removes the the racist facist farage from power

Make your vote Count!
Actually his policies are measurable and quite do-able. I look forward to having him as part of the UK government. If a comedian can fight and pretty much win a war against the Russian Federation, then another should be able to manage being a local representative.
We as a nation should take notice of this phenomenon, as comedy/mockery is the one weapon a dictator simply cannot counter without adding to his/her problems.

Both Zelenskyy and James Harvey are highly educated writers and performers .
Zelenskyy is a lawyer and Harvey an Oxford graduate in Literature

I don’t understand why my feet are cold.
I have socks. No other part of me is cold. It’s just my feet
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I was feeling super cold when I was low on iron but if its just feet maybe circulation. I stopped wearing my sneakers because my feet were getting cold on the dog walks.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Since taking iron supplements, my hands don’t get as cold as before. Definite improvement.

Getting cranky with courier companies today, they’re getting lazier and lazier. And this is from a pick up POV, not even drop off which I know is worse!

Another cheeky day from home because I’m feeling a tad off colour. I did a full week last week so consider this a make-up day

Morning

I’m holding myself back from reading the Wikipedia entry for Expedition 33 lol
I’m about halfway through and the story is amazing.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Do not spoil yourself!! Have you finished Act I?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Nope. I’m pretty sure I’m just about to. I’m at the bit where I need to get the rock for that puffy dude that flies lol
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I bought it a year ago and haven’t even started 😞
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
It’s really fun!
StudChud@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
While I’ve had this cold, I’ve been lowkey obsessed with the game How Many Dudes by Butterscotch Shenanigans. It’s on the play store and it’s just so fun and funny.
Like how many dudes vs 2 horses, 2 cougars, and 4 wolves? Lol and the classes are great fun, there’s so many cool characters like the Dude Rancher and Dude Merchant. My favourite classes so far are Druid Dudes, their bear form is ridiculous.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Well, that should be everything for Fairtrade Fortnight done. I did a sneaky mostly working on Coffee stuff today, but that means no late night tonight, which will benefit regular work tomorrow
SituationCake@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Such a dreary day. Looking forward to the BOM Sun prediction for the weekend.

Dear polyrhythmic metal,
I love writing you but I absolutely fucking hate recording you because I forget what bit comes next.

Good morning to everyone except my cat who thinks 4:30am is a reasonable time to attack my feet.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
after listening to audio book of Project Hail Mary and thinking of Relativity.
This is Rocky’s problem. So if mass and length increases as velocity increases , and when velocity is very high, at least 50% of the speed of light, then distance to target increases and newtonian physics becomes too inaccurate ti use, so how is velocity measured at all? ( I think )
am now in reading more on relativity 😵💫

Omg I just finished watching that 5 minutes ago! Lol.
