Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
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
spoiler
___ in my defence, the USB stick was $8 for a 32gb USB 3.2 HP stick, and the Ethernet cables were $2 each
Edit: and I almost bought a new ethernet switch, even though I already have 3 I'm not even currently using
Thank You @Seagoon_bot for posting the Daily Rippa!
The Bach cello suites I’ve been listening to while I work have ended. It was lovely, but I need something else now.
DJ DT, spin me a track
Oh joy, Emergency Room. Only 4 hours by some miracle. Wear your damn safety goggles people!!
Maybe that extra large coffee late in the afternoon wasn't the best idea...
I'm trying to find the right balance between effort/time and money in terms of feeding myself. Sadly no money for FairFeed this week or next. But I have caved and bought some frozen sliced green beans. I shall be making a pot of dal and I'll stir fry the green beans with a bit of chilli and plenty of onion. That along with defrosted curry should see me through to the weekend.
Any canned fish aficionados here ? Prior to Reddit shenanigans I had recently discovered /r/CannedSardines and I felt like I was home. All canned fish is welcome. Personally the King Oscar Briesling Sardines in Olive oil that you can find at your nearest Coles are excellent. I am sceptical of fishes canned in oil other than olive but perhaps that's an unfair baseline
Well, since no one is helping me with my vertigo issues (it's real) I'm going to plough through a bit of duty free since I'm not working until monday and try and buy a bread roll from woolies for a peri-peri chicken burger a bit later.
hey
Another Marketplace sale today - lots of beer bottles out the door, and more space inside for me, yay! My old bottles are going off to bottle some samples for someone starting up a new brewery, so an exciting new future in marketing for them too!
Good morning
Progressed to Tchaikovsky
I saw Indiana Jones earlier. I liked it. I feel like it was a fine full stop to the Indiana Jones saga.
The treasurer is not gonna fire Philip Lowe. The government makes it a point of order to make their forecasts wrong. Just look at BOM for crying out loud. Those with mortgages are encouraged to accelerate when you see him on a pedestrian crossing though. "Sorry mate, I was forecast to break but then suddenly slammed on the accelerator and screwed you"
too cold, have progressed from jumper to wearing oodie
