So this is the set up we have going. 2 boom boxes synced together on opposite sides of the room. When they die the big boys go on. 2 Philips hue overhead light globes in disco mode synced to the music. Microphone connected to the old computer speakers. Lyrics on the TV. I could get more flashing lights going but I don't want to. It's like a comfy night club for old people.
This is one of the computer speakers.
This reminds me, I tried to fix the speaker lag on my tv, can't fix it because it's wireless. π
Oh that would shit me to tears. Up there with a not quite tuned in properly radio.

I'd like to thank yesterday's me for baking banana cake. Yummy.
Fucking had it with these gall wasps in the lemon tree. I let it go too far so have been taking the kukri to it (surprisingly very effective). I'd like to call it shaping the tree but in reality it's wasp genocide.
Spraying the holes and galls with WD40 works to kill the little bastards if you don't want to chop off a particular branch/trunk.

The kid came home yesterday from a function with a tray of food and the man said "I can take some for lunch tomorrow" and I said "No you can't. That's our dinner". I feel really bad now for being a cunt.
I'm gonna share my Spotify playlist for tonight. Thanks for all those that involuntarily contributed. Hopefully I do this right.π€

Sky pretty. Much pink.
It was like fairy floss
Ok, after an hour's lie down I've recovered a bit and making myself go in to watch the film. I likely won't have the opportunity to watch it anywhere else, and it's good to expand one's horizons and get out of one's head. Especially prior to a holed-up weekend of reading and rewriting (as now my proposal is somewhat different)... Wearing a mask to at least slightly reduce the chance of getting some new shitty infection. Can't afford that this weekend!
Cultures not back yet. One vet was willing to give Melbcat the stronger pain meds but another has decided against it, so the compromise was giving an extra dose of her existing medication.
Theyβre saying results will probably be in on Tuesday so baby girl will be going the weekend without antibiotics and only pain relief. Sheβs got fussy and peed on stuff tonight so I gave her the last dose of the strong stuff.
She will no longer eat wet food if it has extra water so maybe I can try some tuna juice or weak allium free broth.

Gonna fuck around and set up my gaming PC again to try Deadlock. Gave away my monitor, chair and desk, so gonna be an interesting setup for the time being.
Also, BBQ Samboy chips detected at Aldi in the CBD.
Aldi's bags of popcorn are pretty good. I need to tell the world so they stay in circulation forever.

Belated Movie and TV Reviews.
**The Kingsman movies. **I like these homages to the Bond movies, the sound, the fast editing, the villains, the cold war, the cross the pond alliance, the costuming are all reminiscent of 60s Bond and the most recent Bond.
And like the Bond movies there is no blood and that bothers me. I know it's for the M rating but it bugs me. That train scene in Argylle should have been a blood bath. Literally 2 cm of blood on the floor and everything else spattered with blood guts and bone.
Also has running gags and scenes across all the movies, which is cool.
3.5 hobbits . -.5 because no blood
**Rings of Power Review by Charlie Hopkinson. **YouTube. Reminded me how much I hated the fucking Hobbits in RoP, especially Lenny Henry. And what they did to the greatest elf warriors is embarrassing, made them look like accountants.
here's Charlie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fj2bn1Rvac8
4 real Hobbits.
Taken. Yes, that movie again. Having seen it a few times it's a really good exercise in seeing all the red flags/arsehole behaviour from lennie and her rich git husband that made the daughter disrespect her dad and make unwise choices.
The moral is be good parents, ay, teach respect or your kids will suffer for it.
3.5 hobbits
**The Union. **netflix. Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry
Pretty standard spyfi movie , the latest story lines in spyfi seem to of an organisation within an organisation and the old race to find files of names before the bad guys get it.
But it's really about people taking risks, pushing limits and achieving potential.
3 hobbits.
**Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. **
Loosely based on real events. Fast paced action , quite enjoyable. Nazis are bad guys.
3 hobbits
