Work is extra slow right now, but definitely on cards to ramp up after the long(ish) weekend.
We're also in the midst of the a restructure and it's very obvious which people have been made redundant. Completely disengaged (can't blame them) but still in critical roles.
Mask making continues. I'm at the sewing the sides together stage.
I think I have the start of an idea for the weekend. I haven't taken my drone out of its bag for about 11 months so maybe I'll go find somewhere pretty to fly it. This time I'm going to be smart about it and remember to fire it up at home first to make sure I have all of the latest updates it needs. Got caught out last time I flew and had to do some IT in the field to get it flying.
Edit: got it worked out. The weather is going to be meh down here until Sunday so I'm going to go and chase the sun. I was looking at the NSW coast but the weather sucks up there too. Same deal along the Victoria southern coast. It looks like the good weather is along the Murray (27/28 & sunny) so I'm about to have a shower then spend 2 nights in Yarrawonga and reassess from there. Maybe I'll come home Sunday, maybe I'll move along the border up there for another night or two.. who knows? Guess we'll find out. ADVENTURE!
Since Dr Who has been brought up. I have some books to possibly sell, but am mega not looking forward to the online faff about. Anyone?
already have them all :P
TARGET novels do pretty well on ebay, as do some of the older tie ins.
My wife named her cat's Alter Ego "Time And Space Kitty" because when she loses the plot she pops in an out of reality like a timelord.
Ha! I’ve always been fond of Heinlein’s describing a cat as having a head full of random numbers.
Just a heads up slower/cheaper nbn plans (25 to 50 Mbps) across all providers will go up in price very soon if they have not already by 5 to 10 dollars a month.
So that best seller La Roche-Posay sunscreen is $3.60 for a 5mL dose. That's enough for just your face for just 2 hours of sun exposure. Who the hell is buying it?

I wonder when The Strokes and AM will come back to Melbs. I went to the Arctic Monkeys concert earlier this year, best time of my life. They were unreal live 😍

Long weekend! I have a lot of cleaning/domestic duties to take care of, as for the past month I’ve been saying that job X and job Y can wait to the long weekend. And now they’ve banked up. For tonight I will be knocking back a few and chilling. So very needed. Burger craving to be satisfied.
