Well that’s annoying. I woke up super early (for me anyways) to go to Echuca on the train for the day and 10 mins before we got to Bendigo they told us the Echuca has been cancelled and the train will terminate at Bendigo with a coach to Echuca

I don’t really want to do the coach but they said it’s at least 20 minutes away anyway

Fancy going into labour in the mosh pit of a Pink concert.

Six places on the list viewed (plus two not, but they’re out of my price range so they don’t count), four boxes and two pictures dropped off at the op shop and a quick Aldi run done.
I think I’ve earned a prosecco.

Anyone here old enough to remember when Rage would debut a new “unplugged” show?.. I used to tape them, both on the VCR and cassette for my Walkman. Currently listening to STP Unplugged - I remember thinking Scott Weiland was so classy sipping that huge glass of red through the set, in hindsight it was probably like 3/4 of a bottle in that glass.

Edit - thinking about it, I had a DiscMan at that point but no way to burn cds. Hence the Walkman - with the auto reverse magic.

It was time to upgrade the Xbox One, so I took the Nintendo switches (which haven’t been used as much as we all thought they would be) plus games and traded them in for a new series X. Ended up costing me $126 with the traded stuff, so I’m pretty chuffed about that. Not as chuffed as the Elder will be on his birthday when he gets it! The switches were just not as enjoyable to use as the 3DS was.

I was born in the year of the snake so yeah that’s about right. 🐍

Happy Lunar New Year!

I’m playing Mass Effect 2 and being evil. My god some of the lines are hilarious!!!

I forced a shop assistant to give me a discount by standing outside the store and yelling about how they were discriminating against me because I was poor 🤣

It has been enlightening listening to a spine specialist , McGill. Really changed how I think about my back, the pain and what happened. There is no such thing as an achy back, there are injuries and aggravating weakness.

seems I have stress fractures of one or two L vertebrates and a touch of a disc hernia on my left side. Ten hours a week of walking on hard footpaths, walking thru pain, with hard shoes will aggravate a weakness from prior injury or re-injure.

The Fire Pig 🔥 🐽 has chosen to go into the city so I the Fire Snake 🔥🐍 and the Wood Rabbit 🌳🐰 will go and deposit some bottles 🍾 and do something with the rest of the sunny☀ day while the Water Snake 💦 🐍 runs around outside barking.

I’m having so much fun with this. 🌳🐰 isn’t. He assures me he is indeed a 🦁 and he’s sticking to it.

Resting with the cat. She loves being in bed all day. She’s the little spoon, being cuddled like a teddy bear. And when I rustle for a peppermint she’s instantly alert to get her own treat from a packet.

We’re a pair of tired oldies who sometimes share a hot water bottle

I’ve been avoiding the news but saw something awful just now. What’s going on in Gaza is sickening. This shit has to be war crimes.

Watching some telly before I get a little rowdy tonight, and one of my favourite costuming tropes is when a character out of their depth goes to the tropics/a hot place (it doesnt matter what they’re there for) they must have a huge hiking pack paired with some sort of plaid shirt and singlet, for men you can throw in a henley, for women it must be a skin tight spaghetti strap singlet.

Bonus points for inappropriate footwear, khaki cargo shorts (cargo booty shorts of the ladies), some sort of head wrap, they gain a collection of “handcrafted” bracelets during their tropical/hot place adventure.

Legs at the gym and 1.5 hrs tennis after. Send thots and prayers pls everyone 🙏

I seem to have misplaced my debit card. Searched high and low and can’t find it at the place I’m housesitting, my own place, or the route I walked to the shops earlier today (the endpoint at which I realised I was sans card). Nobody’s used it in the past 6 hours either.

Found out I could put a temporary lock on the card and I’ll try looking again tomorrow. I really don’t want to get a card replacement, so many things I’ll need to change 🫤

Normally I would feel panicked or frustrated but I still feel numb (not necessarily comfortably).

I do have a mysterious craving for salmon and pizza that’s come out of nowhere though. None of the pizza places here in Preston seem to do in house delivery :( not having a car sucks like that. Old Kodak it is. And just a marinara pizza with garlic bread.
