Naughty Gladys has been found to be handing out funds whilst romping with her boyfriend. Tsk tsk

i feel like taking a walk but it is still dark but i am taking the walk anyway

well that was a very cold walk. I normally finish a walk feeling warmed up, but today I am still chilly - especially my poor nose.

I should probably drop a review for Burger king fries I had at CGK jakarta airport.

The dream was to compare KFC but had to settle for jackas..

They weren't very good. and for 38000IDR (about $3.80) I'm starting to wonder if they gave me a small instead of a large as some sort of 'in' joke.

2/10.

The truffle fries with a triumvirate of dipping sauces at the hotel however.. for an inflated hotel price of $9, were bomb.

9/10 for those.

Still haven't woken up properly, nor have I emerged from the oodie knockoff except for a quick change from pjs to clothes.
Thank God (Gouda?) I did the shopping yesterday.

G'day! Felt a bit guilty about not doing my workout yesterday on account of being absolutely stuffed from work and crashing early. Woke up to do it this morning and discovered that yesterday was a scheduled rest day! So it's day 4 and I've done my exercises. I feel different in a way I can't put my finger on, sort of a teensy bit fitter. Probably psychosomatic but it works for me!

Taking the Mini Peelers to Melbourne Central today, looks like a nice one out there!

And in the latest instalment of Fuck Nestle, they are upset because they don’t want tax transparency. It’s really bullshit how our economy is dictated by big business. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/jun/29/multinationals-including-nestle-and-roche-push-back-against-scope-of-australias-planned-tax-transparency-laws

Ah the joy of cats. Number ones in the tray. Big production of scratching at the side of the tray from multiple directions. Move next door to the covered litter tray. Number twos. Another big production of completely useless side of box scratching. Wander off happy. I get to clean out two litter trays. Thanks cat.

Surprisingly unpopular opinion in my household, I think St Patrick's Day should be a VIC holiday.

I just reckon enough people casually follow it, so it would be a better holiday than some of our others. The main issue is the placing of it.

Guilty pleasure - chewy oatmeal and raisin cookies.

New movie for today was Grey Owl. I read this guy's books last year and read some bios too. Sadly the movie was a disappointment. Just a run of the mill bio. He is an unusual adult with skills and an interest who becomes a writer. The only thing that makes him different to other writers about nature and indigenous peoples is he pretended he was one. That is all. It could have been a good movie, spend time on his childhood and his beginnings. On the secret , have him hunted down by a journalist. Then public reaction and his legacy. ( and it's a good legacy, he helped start the environmental movement in Canada ) Maybe 2.5 hobbits out 5 and nice to see something that's not a marvel movie.

Hello again 3am. We need to stop meeting like this.

@[email protected] did you end up getting your Asian blue design bowls?

I went into centrecom to get one tube of thermal paste. I assumed all would be well since I click and collected it.

All was not well. I spent an hour and a half in there and I now have 4 more Ethernet cables, a new USB stick I didn't need and yet another can of air duster

Edit: and I almost bought a new ethernet switch, even though I already have 3 I'm not even currently using
