    Thinking about that quiet holiday suggestion from yesterday. I reckon it would take two weeks minimum for my brain to switch off.

    or half an hour

        Yeah, ISP. But this is the first credit they’ve given me, and I’ve been with them for about 15 years I’d say.

    Twice in 5 minutes my dog’s arsehole got too close to my property. First, he sat on my pen. Second, he back his arse onto my drink bottle lid. 😡

    Feeling like I’ve got jetlag from a 1 hour time change. Just did a pre-lunch walk in the sun which has made me feel better. Timed well as ominous clouds approach.

    Watching SiteInspections YT again.

    I can’t help wondering how many dangerous buildings are out there without the owners knowing

        Master builder who does private building inspections, he has a YT channel.

        It’s really put me off buying anything newer than 20 years old.

        And has made me look at the housing built in the 60s with new admiration, might be fuckin’ Melton but those houses are made well. Made with real bricks and roofs that don’t leak!!

          I think our house was built in the 50s with extensions added in the 80s (though I’m not positive on that). I’m sure there’s probably a term for the sort of style, but it’s basically a wooden house on stilts. There’s been a few issues, especially with leaky roofs, but usually it comes down to something breaking 2 years ago, the dodgy tradies the department hire coming out to fix it and doing a really bad.job, and then their half arsed fix falling apart as soon as there’s a bit of rain

      The thing I have learned from that channel is that very few builders know how to do a box gutter.

        And rain heads.

        Wtf are building inspectors even doing though? The number of approved busted or wrong spec houses is scary.

        Do your best and silicon the rest….

    Headed out last minute to catch a comedy show as a friend had spare tix. Was alright getting there, but leaving… Ahhh that biting winter wind of Melbourne. Without a puffer or any thermals. 🥶

    Renewed appreciation for my warm and comfy bed just hearing the rain fall after a very exciting and hectic afternoon.

    Would you believe I had yet another offer come through… at my current workplace?! Temp extra days for several months. On the one hand I could build some good cred/exp. It would probably round me out better.

    OTOH, I honestly don’t think I’d like most of role I’d be filling in, and the commute… I’m weak. If I didn’t have this other option just nearby I’d have gone for it. But I just ain’t doing 6:30 wake ups every weekday and dealing with disgruntled members of the public to boot 😬

    Stumbled onto something on insta that has become my comfort watching. Opening sports card packs from the early 90s (north american leagues). I used to collect cards around that time, and the nostalgia hits hard, but in a good way.

    So if you’re pretty certain you have rats under your house, and you have a dog so poison is out of the question…what do you do? Baited traps in dog safe areas?

      I don’t know who that is but I’m watching highway patrol and I hope they all go into some sort of Aussie hall of fame. What happens when a cop with an attitude who very clearly became a cop just to be on tv meets a bloke who s never been told ‘no’ before? Hilarity, that’s what

        I’m watching it too. I love how the guilty argue with cops like it’s gonna solve their problems.

            Yeah. Back in the oldens days he would’ve been given a few laps of the round about in the divvy before he got back to the cop shop.

              I heard many stories of cops doing that to the other kids at my last place when they’d run away. Usually they got held at a cop shop then brought back by a worker, but a few times they got brought back by cops

        I watched a few episodes of Dark Winds this morning. Such a beautiful show. No cringe, no anger, doesn’t make me feel dumber.

        The best aussie show I’ve seen lately was mr inbetween, and bluey of course
