Have a good day!
I haven’t had one mozzie bite this summer.
Where’d they go?
Why aren’t I attractive to them anymore? I work out, wear revealing clothing so I know I have a operational circulatory system.
So I’m having an affair with March flies instead. At least they know my worth.
same here. Bloody chiggers in the long grass have been going to town though.
I got bit last night! Then before that the last bite I remember was on my leg up in Albury nearly a month ago.
Now that you say it I have seen maybe one mozzie all summer
It’s odd. Down here at the bellarine I’m at a sort of mozzie hot spot.
Last year was epic but this summer not a single one.
keen to start planning my next camping trip. heck, I could even do tidal river again. Its just so nice down there.
Go do a blood test 5 minutes before opening time. Notice there’s already 10 people in front of me. Go get a coffee and croissant. Will fast another day.
A blood test is #2 on my To Do List tomorrow. I will be there fairly early and expect I will also run in to a bunch of people, both because before work is convenient and because the earlier you get the test done the earlier you can start eating. Hopefully it won’t take too long, but if it is too quick I’ll be early for #3 and #4 on the list and will probably end up buying coffee and cake myself just to pass the time.
The regulars are always there early. I’ve found it pretty easy to fast to 1030 and go then.
Got meetings all morning today and probably wouldn’t make it without food until the end. I’ll try again tomorrow or Friday. It’s not urgent, just wanted to knock it on the head today if possible.
I have only stepped out my apartment once in the past 3 and 1/2 weeks and that was to go to hospital . Can’t wash my hair and have mostly been subsisting on frozen food. I missed xmas and nye with friends and fam too.
But I have recovered from depression so that is good.
I have so much to do. :)

Pizzas are in oven
Does anyone have any experience with changing owner’s corporations? It’s been two years since the townhouses on our block were moved in to, no AGMs or meetings, no responses to emails or phone messages.
Pizza dough is rising, pizza sauce is made.
man I really wanna try that slow cooked lamb meatlovers from dominos. Even though I know its gonna suck.
maybe lamb kebabs from a local would be better
they would be, but I’m chasing that “I really wanna hate myself afterwards” kind of meal.
ffs, reddit is so full of paid political trolls it’s painful
this place is a blessed relief
I can never understand the anger people have on reddit. The cattiness and the back and forwards is just not for me.
Anger is the right word. So angry and for what purpose? 🤷♀️
Some people take things way too personally and resort to name calling and derogatory terms.
I have gone back and forwards maybe a hand full of times but I have since curbed my ways.
Grabbed some hummus chips from Aldi to try.
Inhaled the bag within minutes. They’re that good.
I watched the movie "Mr Bojangles. I remember watching William Robinson movies growing up, old black and whites with Shirley Temple. Such beautiful movies.
People used to get up and walk out of his boundary pushing live shows and movies because they were so offended!!
Fuck 'em.
Sherlock Dan has solved the Case of the Crumbly Bread.
And like most cases, the reason is pure idiocy on my behalf. I thought I put in 340ml of water. But, the measuring cup is 200ml and I put in 200ml and then another 40ml thinking I’d already had 300ml in there.
So did another one last night with the correct amount of water and the result was pure, heavenly breadiness worthy of Jesus himself.
Maths. Every. Single. Time.
Be careful of recipes on the net and buying measuring utensils. make sure they are Aussie.
Our American friends use Freedom Units. The cups are 240 ml and the tbsps are 15ml.
Still not feeling great, the nausea is hanging around from god knows what, but thankfully the headache appears to have disappeared after a long sleep (got up before all my alarms! Hooray!) I’m going to try sipping a little bit of coconut water throughout the day in the hopes it eases the nausea.
Didn’t get around to re-reading Shades of Grey yesterday, BUT… to my absolute chagrin, even though Red Side Story is supposed to be released today (6 Feb), the ebook is not appearing in the app - then I call and find out that release date is based on American timezones 😑😒😔😩 So 4pm here at the very earliest. Possibly 7pm. I guess I was being naïve and overly hopeful… but still, in the absence of any other information, with digital releases/information isn’t it reasonable to think 6 Feb 2024 starts at 12:01 am in the local timezone?
Oh well, personally that works out well as I can blast through Shades of Grey now while waiting. Wrote a strongly worded feedback message anyway, about being clearer about this on the website/preorder info for next time.
My parents keep taking their dog away in the caravan then realising that taking the dog with them sucks because they can’t go out anywhere together because they can’t leave the dog alone. This leads to me being asked to house/dog sit at their place, which I’ll be doing from tomorrow until Monday. Doggy is being driven home from Yarrawonga and dropped off today. Sigh.
Can’t they take their dog everywhere with them?
Nah they go out to the RSL and other clubs. No doggies allowed.
Can we please have doggy tax when you get him?Thanks
Absolutely!
hmm. Anyone played with home automation?
realised when stashing something in the basement that I expected the lights to come on automatically like I set them in the laundry. Which got me digging at motion sensors, specifically ones that will trigger a connected socket (running 100m of LED rope light will light up anything) and now I’m looking for a motion sensor that will trigger a connected socket and preferably not need to constantly be connected to an outside cloud network because fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that
I’m not sure if one that is just wireless will do the job? I’ve not dabbled but noticed that Ikea has some bits and bobs
Is this anything https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/tradfri-wireless-motion-sensor-smart-white-90370469/
mmm problem is most of the time when they say “wireless” they mean “not physically connected but requires your wifi to tap into a gigantic backhaul that passes constant data back to our servers to operate”
I’m gonna build a hubitat (I swear I am mum really!) but the box itself is backburnered atm, as is wiring up the basement network-wise so was hoping I could find even some cheap shitty plug in adapter like the remotes you can get for power points.
I have a doorbell that plugs directly into a socket but is wireless to the akshul door. No web anything. Maybe something like that could be reverse engineered to work a light switch instead of a doorbell.
no passthrough :/ the socket part just pulls power to run the receiver and noisemaker parts that pick up the signal from the buttonpress.
Yeah, that sucks. It really feels like a self contained “dumb” (ie not smart appliance) motion activated light should or does exist…
There are those lights that are made for sticking in gardens beside paths (though often those are solar), or the outdoor lights that come on but it depends on how far you need the motion detected and the second one might need to be hard wired.
Ikea does have self contained motion lights that run off rechargeable batteries and may be stick on (intended for cupboards or drawers) but they might not be powerful enough for a room and obvious drawbacks with batteries.
There was a self contained outdoor light but it was meant to be attached by a bolt and was solar powered.
Woolies/Big W also has a self contained battery thingy which might work for temporary use until you do the hubitat https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/1074588760/crest-rechargeable-led-with-motion-sensor-medium
Or this little motion sensor emergency torch guy https://www.amazon.com.au/AP-Emergency-Sensor-Light-Rechargeable/dp/B00AC1K3Z4
Have fun in the Arduino or Raspberry pi rabbit hole you’re about to go down…
just finished Killing It s2…jeeeeeeeeeeesus chriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiist
