Spent 3 hours at the hairdressers today, only 45 mins of which was the actual cut. Think I'll try somewhere else next time. Recovering from some dead lifting today and just gonna do some bathroom and kitchen cleaning at pace.

Oooooh momma.

I've mentioned that the house is built on a hill, so it's raised. I've also mentioned we have the 6mx3m underhouse basement area that's plumbed and wired as it was a ground level laundry (now claimed by His Lordship as his brewery) . But. Uh did i mention the subfloor area separate to that? About 2m head clearance that expands literally under the rest of the entire house?

'Cos when i said 'working on basement' today, that's what i was talking about. Ima gonna need more shelves......

So I was born a stone's throw from Highbury, the Arsenal home ground in London, and have followed them all my life. I have held a season ticket for decades, and go to games whenever I'm in London (niece gets the ticket the rest of the time).

I find myself in the very strange position of hoping that Spurs do well under Big Ange next season.

Random morning musings while reading The Guardian.

Has anyone used a phone app or YouTube for home workouts? Any recommendations?

Well this is depressing.

I thought I’d have a little relief itch the tax return looking and I’ve just had a quick look at what I’d get back and it’s ended being nowhere what I thought it was going to be.

I’ll be lucky to get back 150 dollars.

I really needed something good to happen in light how tough it’s been supporting my partner and this just is indescribable.

I still have HECS that get paid down every fortnight via my salary, it’ll be interesting to see the reduction in my pay thanks to this next Wed.

I’m doing my Apollo migration and noticed that !melbourne@aussie.zone (am I doing that right?) had more subscribers than almost any other community I signed up to.

Is this a case of massive well done, or wefwef fetching incomplete data?

Edit: Apollo just died, it was fun while it lasted

At the airport for a Virgin flight and it is CHAOS. Finally made it to the front of one line to ask a question about an oversized piece of baggage, and then got sent to the back of another long line without having my question answered and to a line where my question won’t get answered. They’re trying to prioritise people whose flights are leaving early, which I get, but I bet I get shit from gate staff about my oversized item.

I wish I had the energy now that I did at 5 a.m. when I was trying to get back to sleep. :(
Still, first load of laundry done and have gone through two bags of put aside until later while listening to a podcast and getting drive-by snuggles from Sammi.
