I realised today I'm living my life sort of backwards. I wasted my 20's being drug fucked dealing with a shitty home life so didn't get to travel, go out, do normal stuff.

But I'm doing it now. And I have to say, it's a hell of a lot of fun. I've got a shitload of energy despite being 41 and yeah, who said anything about slowing down lol

Nuremberg Christmas market this morning. It was HEAVING all day, too busy to properly enjoy. We went to the castle and wandered the city instead, just went in for a little while to check it out this evening before dinner.

Just got back from a hike in Kinglake, the whole place was covered in a super dense fog. Also had to cut the hike short because the leeches were insane, so much so it began freaking my hiking partner out.

My assignment is submitted and Science of Gardening is now officially over. My garden plan is nowhere near as pretty as the example we were given due to my lack of artistic talent, but hopefully covers everything.

If I was good at drawing I had some awesome stuff I would have liked to do - in particular I wanted to mark the location of the neighbours yard with "Here be Dragons" with a picture of a blackberry vine that looks like a dragon (as in the twisted stem forming the body, leaves for wings etc.). Instead I had to just use words to say that area needed to be monitored regularly for blackberries, which is way less fun.

I have finally finished the main work of my assignments that are due today. I still need to go through and do some editing and tidying, but the bulk of it is done. But my brain hurts and I need a break before I can do that. Afternoon tea and a dog walk should help.

Final assignment for my gardening course is due today, a plan of my garden. I have cleared table space. I have dug out the coloured pencils. I have found a ruler and printed off some graph paper. It feels like the old school assignment days - I haven't done work on actual paper instead of a computer in years!

Day 57/70: First day of week 9 weigh-in.
Down 0.5kg. Second week of half kg drops. Nearing the end of the diet, though truth to tell I've let the foot off the accelerator these past two weeks. There are just too many special occasions breaking the diet.

The problem with those big stemless wine glasses is that you end up having a huuuuge glass of wine....

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

This is a good problem.

Hot on the heels of SASSPANTS SATURDAY I now present SHADY SUNDAY

Now that can mean something that is illegal or you can throw it at someone or something that isn't getting sun.

For me today it is the latter. my horizontal banksias are in the wrong spot and I'm going to have to dig them out this summer and we're not looking forward to that.

Edit: Which of course bring us to the rave:

I want to call out circadian rhythms for being so easy to change in one direction, and yet so hard to change back.

Fuck you rhythm.

When all the servos in one area are selling petrol for the same price. It's not collusion just a coincidence alright.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Remember that "failed experiment" fuel watch? Well, it started in WA and never left. The servos obviously hate it, but they're forced to publish tomorrow's prices online by 11pm, and must stay at that price the whole day.

That means you can go to the Fuel Watch site, open map view and it'll highlight the cheapest fuel today and tomorrow if it's evening.

Pretty sure we have cheaper fuel as a result. It's something about WA that I missed living in Melbourne, and you've reminded me that I take it for granted now that I have it back.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Shady cartels definitely count.
