    Lemmy is trying to help stop me procrastinating and refusing to let me log in to my Aussie.zone account on the computer. I’m going to show it that my procrastination cannot be stopped so easily and clean out the cat litter tray. The things we do when we should be studying. 🤣

        I expected it to, but it didn’t for some reason. I probably need to do a full clear of everything, but it was not a convenient time so I just left it. ☹️

      Procrastination achieved, so I’m taking a break from all that tiring procrastination. Cat’s litter box has been cleaned out, I did a bit more zucchini wrangling and the cucumber has been introduced to its new climbing frame (a clothes airer I picked up from hard rubbish this morning). My brain really really does not want to focus on this assignment. I was hoping to have a rough draft done by now, but I’ve barely touched it.

    I’ve started watching Pachinko and I have never craved a bowl of pure white rice more. Some of the show might be corny and Jimmi Simpson and his butchering of the Japanese language is totally unnecessary, but it’s so beautifully shot and such a compelling story of migration and colonisation. I never thought I’d see such mainstream depiction of Zainichi Koreans marketed to the West.

    I’m excited to announce that my wife’s cat and I have reached a tentative mateship after 4 years. She’s never “hated” me, but she’s always made it pretty clear where I stand with her and that Mrs B is her preferred human. But somethings started to soften, she likes my kid so I think she’s decided I’m alright based on that. She’s even started coming to find me for pats.
    The bitch of it all? She’s not even my wife’s cat! I’m the one who said “we can’t leave her here! No ones even looking at her! We have to bring her home.” But nope, Mrs b got all the credit and love.

    Cats: man’s okayest friend.

    Cops finally got in touch - investigating officer was unaware of the earlier break-ins and you could practically hear her jaw dropping over the phone.
    Trainned it down and went to a couple of other OFIs on the same street as well as touching base with the agents who were holding another - places were nice enough but smaller.
    Other party put in another bid at the top of the asking range while I was waiting. Agent advised me to wait over the weekend before I make any decisions about another bid. Will sleep on it before I decide whether to make one final bid or drop out of the bidding - even the estate agent who initially said “it’d be a shame to lose the property over $30k” said “it’s getting a bit steep.”.

    I’ve been listening to the ‘just ace’ podcast. It’s a look back at 90s Aus alternative music scene. It’s really good - lots of nostalgia but also interesting stuff.

    I have the day off and I’m supposed to be writing my assignment. Instead, I’ve been wasting my time on Facebook getting involved in discussions that involve me rewriting everything about 14 times in an attempt to avoid them tipping over into arguments. I have also hopefully helped bring some people new perspectives and options on FOGO bins, such is the exciting life I lead 🤣

          That makes sense - I was flashing on FOMO etc and wondered what Fear Of Going Out had to do with bins.

            Given we only have fortnightly collections I would think Fear Of Going Off bins would also be an accurate description, as the smell of food scraps sitting in bins that long is a major concern of residents here 😁

    Rain starting in 7 minutes.

    These new forecasts are like something out of Back to the Future.

    Forecasts used to be for 3 days and were very general.

    And yet we survived, we just let weather happen.

    Ooops. Put my head down ‘just for a moment’ last night and woke up fourish with the lights still on, the front door and various windows open and the tv on.

    Is it bourbon, is it whiskey,
    Is it rum, hold the cola?
    Orange juice with vodka,
    (I think it’s called “mimosa.”)
    Sniff and sip an Irish islay,
    Hold the ice, I like it straight.
    Taste the peat, feel the burn,
    Only for whiskey do I yearn.
