I have now been to the doctor for a checkup, been poked, prodded and bled, plus I have 2 more appointments to make for more specialised prodding. My special 'welcome to 50 years' celebration ๐Ÿคฃ.

The doctor seemed nice, and much more interested than the previous one I went to. Plus it was fully bulk billed, and I have some insurance that will give me a discount for having regular checkups so it's worth it from a financial perspective alone.

Lychees with the 9? Really?

Its the separate dessert menu. Much like our beloved chef's after eight menu - the numbering is not consecutive.

In the absence of any context or knowledge of your family I am going to guess he needs to break it to you that he's moving to Florida to marry a hooker he met in an online chat room.

And the hooker is a meth gator ๐ŸŠ

Pakige arrived. Mostly ok, but a couple of returns have been organised. Now I also have a $28 voucher that needs to be spent in 3 days, and only $8 worth sitting in my cart. Time to do some quality impulse buying - and worst case scenario I buy something to get to the $40 minimum spend and then return it. Ah, Temu. How you make any money is beyond me.

Rightyho, I have now ordered 2 oil bottles for the kitchen, a couple of tops, a couple of flat sheets and the frost protection covers that were already in my cart. $56 total. Hopefully the sheets are at least halfway decent. I could do with some more, but don't want to spend too much because Mr Woof keeps tearing them.

It'll take me a while to get home but:

CHEEEEERS!

Edit:

I need some help. I don't use my phone on public transport. But I also wear sunglasses.

What the fuck am I supposed to look at because most others are on their phone then there's me trying to sleep but looking like I'm deatg staring whoever I happen to be facing.

1.5 hours on the phone with Microsoft tech support for moving my domain email provider to Microsoft, and still not resolved!

Had to figure out how to access my domain name servers again and add โ€œTXTโ€ files to it, came flooding back to me from dealing with all this crap setting things up the first time.

Ran into an issue exporting inbox from old provider to new, and then the tech support guy had another appointment and had to go. Talk about leaving your customer in the lurch. I think I know how to fix but that was all the IT problems I could handle for one afternoon, will revisit when Iโ€™m bored enough on the weekend.

Look at that, it missed Ballarat again. The rain doesn't seem to like us much at the moment, the storms are all going around.

When I used to commute it was all books or the free newspaper (or the not free papers in the morning). Of course at that time I had the trendy little flip phone whose main selling point was polyphonic ring tones, so the entertainment value of that was pretty limited.

If it makes you feel any better they treat their enterprise level partners the same way.

I've got an undercut, and an overcut. I shave my head.

Stir-fry was my staple meal when I moved out of home, I'd have it probably 4-5 times a week. Very affordable on student benefits - lots of rice and veg, a little bit of meat.

beach finds

some nice shells and tiger shark tooth! The tooth is still razor sharp.

storm clouds

the air was so clear and weather conditions were just right to make the whole bay visible on the horizon, if you enlarge the picture you might be able to see on the horizon

Clippers or razor?
