Melbourne

juuuuust ducked the rain to bunnings. I now have a post jack. No more will we fear the star pickets.

I survived the electricity. I woulld like to thank my rubber soled shoes. I'm not sure if that's a myth but so far still kicking.

Am at the vet with Sammi - poor love has been vomiting on and off since yesterday and hasn't eaten more than a mouthful at a time.
Interestingly, she's been a lot calmer coming up since it was just her so I had her beside me on the passenger seat instead of behind me in the back seat like I normally do when I take both of them.
She was calmly sitting in her carrier watching the passing traffic until the practice cat came and now she's sitting up on alert. 😂

Thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightening.

oooh, I heard some thunder

omg, my allergies are driving me crazy, so itchy everywhere

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!

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.

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

Actually raining out here where we normally don't get as much. Been feeling really shit today. Have movie on at 9:30pm in city but seriously having second thoughts. I'm so fucking tired

This turned up on a different feed. Somewhat @RustyRaven@aussie.zone topical. End of the arvo to ye 😝
