      That’s a view and a half.

      Weird story. Went to St. patricks cathedral with an ex and her aunt (who was a devout catholic). She was bangin’ on about how god was everywhere ‘like the internet’. ‘In walls, in the air’. A few hours earlier she asked me to set up her wifi / chuck in the router password on her phone to use ex’s internet at ex’s home… so I asked her if god forgets his password too.

      Didn’t go down too well.

      I went to St Patrick’s in November, visiting from Adelaide. An amazing building, very beautiful interior

    Okay I’m going to officeworks. What pens do you want?

    Edit: ok I’m back from the shop. I have pastel highlighters, 72 pack of Derwents, erasable ink pens some with double eraser, 4 colour pens enough for everyone, a Windsor and Newton purple, fancy green fountain pen, pack of pilot pens, and an mega multicolour pen. Also box of Bics because they are an icon, and everyone gets a multi pack of coloured post-its because they were near the cashier and who can resist them.

    Good sirs, if you are going to have the balls to charge 25 dollars for a Calabrese salad then, for the love of god, the tomatoes better not be CRUNCHY. And the cheap arse everyday toms from the supermarket. 😡 It’s only three ingredients FFS.

    This is what I get for thinking I am going to have a little early treat because I have been disciplined this year so far. Back to home cooked.

    phone up and running. Oppo A18. Pretty painless. Not bad for $180.

    First piccy:

    Nothing to write home about but it works.

    New phone probably arriving today. As a kid would’ve been excited but not these days so got an el’ cheapo crappy one (oppo something or rather).

    Old iphone refuses to charge I think because of bringing into the ocean so many times and the charging port has corroded lol. Worth it though. Had to be replaced anyway but I’m glad it kicked the bucket doing what it loved.

        this is the leading argument in my mind to jump ship every so often. Samsung to iphone? Huge. Samsung to Samsung or iphone to iphone? meh. Running my poor 13 into the ground till theres something worth upgrading, like the 120hz display on the new pros.

      love new phone days! But yeah a cheap oppo is probably a bit hard to get excited about. Wont you not have a backup if your moving to a non-iphone?

      30-60 minutes with a new phone, and it looks identical to my old phone. If I took a screenshot of my phone from 10 years ago, it’d be close enough to my present phone as to be indistinguishable.

      Where they differ is the quality of the photos I take. I still took my DSLR around most of the time 10 years ago. I rarely bother these days. It still takes better photos, but the difference is not worth the effort unless I’m specifically going some place to take photos.

    Yay, I have clearance to “piss off” early today. Just have to make a site visit quickly, spend a little time there and go home from there.

    Should be home before 2:30 today.

    Just in time for the cricket and a late lunch!

    finally got to a ripe strawberry before whatever is eating them (despite being net’ed I might ad). God it was good! Only 1, and not massive but it was so sweet and flavorful how do you ever go back to store brought ones after that?!

      You don’t. Homegrown strawbs have spoiled me for life. As has homegrown asparagus, tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers and green beans. And quite a lot of other veg that I haven’t grown for a while now. But home strawbs a pretty damn special.

        man dont talk to me about tomatoes at the moment. tomatoes are probably the biggest stress point in my life right now. Got a decent amount but still very very green and the plants are clearly in distress.

          Yep. Once the solstice happens, the plants start to go all yellow at the endy bits. Mine are looking pretty sad but the toms still keep coming. Still got a few still to ripen.

          Yass! Nothing compares. I would suggest planting in pretty much pure compost in a barrel or similar. Once it starts to yield though be prepared for asparagus for breakfast lunch and dinner for a few weeks. But so so good.

            I shall pickle it! Haven’t been able to find the supermarket one I like for ages. I have several Hex beds. Once I get the sunlight pattern figured out this is happening.

    Friend: You should get married someday. You seem like the type.

    Me: Why?

    Friend: So you can give us red pockets. 🧧Married people are supposed to give them out.

    Just now:

      Can confirm, have received these at Chinese(ish) weddings.
      The time I was Best Man at such a wedding, I probably broke even - which is saying something as I spent a fair bit on that wedding (good friends).

      [Chinese(ish) because not all the couples were actually Chinese. The Best Man one was Malaysian; another wedding was Singaporean]

    Everyday, I wake up and I feel like I haven’t really woken up until night time. So I go the whole day metaphorically staring into space.

    Maybe I need to start taking iron tablets again.

      You can get the 100 pack of Maltofer for ≈$53.90 by price matching at Chemist Warehouse at the moment. There’s also a new catalogue starting tomorrow and it might be on special, usually they take it down to $55.
