Melbourne

One of the things I really don't like about being work at home is that I feel guilty when I get sick and take time off.

Captain, your pillow is hailing us..

You ought to be congratulated. Onya Botto. 👍

Have tickets to a Spanish Love Songs show tomorrow, started feeling dizzy and sick today. too late to resell them, and I probably can't get a refund.

grrreeeaaat. Waste of $50 I guess. I was looking forward to it too.

Edit: got through in 40 minutes; record!

After an epic battle that has left me exhausted and somewhat bloodied I declare victory in my personal War of the Roses. I have had a few climbing roses that have teamed up with the kikuyu to grow up through some established bushes and trees, making it extremely difficult to get to them to pull them out. The roses are extra thorny and catch on everything, and the kikuyu works like anchoring ropes tangling everything in further. I have now reduced the prickly bastards to a large pile and have access to where it has been cut off so I can poison any regrowth.

I've had some sad news today.

Vale EAL. Thank you.

Argh. After the very first wash the Sherpa fleece of this new blanket has matted into clumps. That was from a quick wash in cold water on the lowest spin. (Front loader. Minimum detergent. One rinse.)

Don’t tell me I needed to use wool wash and the handwash/wool wash cycle? On an Anko blanket?

When it air dries I can try to fix it up with the cat’s slicker brush. But that would be quite a job

Second-last Report Type That I Really Really Really Hate Doing out of the way, after dragging my soul through it for the whole day. I have to update the very last one for a disaster project next week - one of the worst I've ever worked on - and then hopefully that's it forever.

I'm not quitting my job per se, but it does feel like serving out your notice at some places. Continuing to go through the motions feels particularly painful when freedom is around the corner.

Has anyone got an oil spray bottle? Gimme a review please.

I am after a refillable oil spray bottle like this decor one but at $13 I want it to work. Big w and kmart have cheaper ones but again if it doesn't work properly it's a waste of money.

Is there a blog/social media page type thing for alternative sports/activities in Melbourne? Where they might review the sport, what's involved and the culture etc. Seems like there are a lot on offer in Melbourne, but no out there trying them all and documenting it(?) Thinking things like axe throwing, Trugo, larping, bike polo, roller derby and so on.
