  • I am constantly amazed by the camera on this phone - it was too small to see any detail with my own eyes, and the flowers were moving around making it hard to even keep it in the frame, and the phone manages a clear close up. And I once thought cameras in phones was a gimmick that wouldn't last.

  • Dropped my car with a hand car wash to get a bath and walked to the South Melbourne Market. The car wash dude said an hour and a half so I took my time. Got a gozleme, two freshly fried cinnamon doughnuts, stopped in at the nut shop for some yoghurt sultanas and then went and overspent on a terrarium for my sister. Oh then I saw the cutest baby coffee keep cup so I bought one for my niece so she can have pretend coffee while her mum has her real one.

    I'm not really keeping track but it's easy to spend a lot of money quickly in an hour and a half in South Melbourne!

  • Man, just woke up and realised I forgot to set my alarm. Leapt out of bed, rushing around to try and not be late for work - then realised I'm not working today. Mr Woof is so confused, he thought it was time for pre-work walkies, and now we're not going.

  • 4pm accountability: i am awake and about to go for a walk

    edit: pre 5pm accountability: charged the phone for a while, now going out

    • Moving comment to make more sense: Dear Bacon it is now 4pm. Scavenger hunt time! Kindly prove your awakeness by finding me something orange, something triangular, and something to do with parrots

  • argh, broke a delicate wire fitting on a vintage necklace now I have to restring the whole thing. 🙄

  • Need to go and hunt down a birthday present for my sister today. I was thinking of maybe getting her a terrarium, I know there's a shop in South Melbourne Market which does them but they just seem so expensive for what they are! If I think about the cost as not having to think of another gift then I think I can justify it because I'm terrible at this.

  • today’s goal: not take a long nap at 6pm, get up at midnight for dinner, and go back to sleep at 3am

  • Awake at stupid o'clock because someone left a window open and a gust of wind caused a door to slam. Not at all happy!!

    • That wind was bonkers. I stumbled around closing all the windows I had left open to let the place cool down at some stupid hour too

  • I will stay out of bed until at least 12 hours later. From 4pm I will be here hourly stating that I am out of bed.

    • Excellent idea. Do you think, maybe, that afternoon tea could be served? I am very partial to a slice of Victoria sponge and strong Darjeeling.

    • Proof of life tasks to be scheduled

    • Dear Bacon it is now 4pm. Scavenger hunt time! Kindly prove your awakeness by finding me something orange, something triangular, and something to do with parrots.

  • So I think I've mentioned it before, but I've been listening to all the Beatles' post-breakup albums.

  • Caught up with a mate today - we are both job hunting and they said they recently applied for a role, got through three interview stages, completed the reference check (from what they confirmed this was all positive feedback), but were then told the position ended up going to someone internal....this does not fill me with much confidence.

  • Cool change arrived in the last km off my run. Was a nice cool breeze to help cool the thermostat.

  • I might go down to the festival to locate my daughter and her friends. "Hey baby girl, mummy found you. What's for dinner?". ☺

  • Let's say there was a brand new Earth, uninhabited by humans, and you were to be placed in one location of your choosing. You have one backpack of survival gear. Where would you choose to be placed and why?

    Bonus question: would you do it if offered today?

    • Somewhere tropical so I can fish and there's no irritating pollens. I would need about a week to pack.

    • Oddly enough, I think I'd choose Melbourne - before the ecosystem was ruined in the 19th century it was quite a nice place to live off the land. Very productive. Good water. Lots of yam daisies and koalas to eat and fish and things. Rich in natural resources like clay and wood. Good stone for tools not far away. Pack would have to include a puffer jacket to last until I'd eaten enough possums to make me a possum skin cloak.
      Would not accept offer for today.

      • I don’t believe koala is pleasant. Skippy ion the other hand…

      • Picking Melbourne out of any other geographical location on earth is certainly a choice...

    • Wherever has the tastiest, least scary animals and doesn't get freezing cold over winter.

      And nope. I'm not built for that survival life.

    • somewhere with room service.

    • nile, fertile crescent, it being where civilization started it should be quite habitable. Absolutely not i want my soft bed, clean tap water, and hot shower water

    • Decent answers. I think I'd choose southern coastal Italy. Nice weather, good fishing, probably some friendly cows to eat idk.

      Id also go immediately.

    • southern France

      I would only do it if I weren't alone

  • So just watched the new Fincher movie “The Killer” and it was mid, which is pretty unusual. Anyway besides the original contributions to the soundtrack by Reznor and Ross, the movie was riddled with Morrissey classics.

    So anyway, I relay this very important information about Morrissey to MrsGod and she says, “Who?”

    I’m still trying to gather my jaw from floor. Shits wild.

  • Conga time! 🕺

    (reply with you then me and so forth e.g.💃🕺 add yourself to the conga line!)

    edit: maybe I didn't explain it right.. it was meant to end up looking something like this with the replies:

    💃🕺

    🕺💃🕺

    💃💃🕺💃🕺

    🕺💃💃🕺💃🕺

    etc.. no matter

    • Hope I do this right.

      You don’t win friends with salad, you don’t win friends with salad.

      🕺

    • The hips aren't like they used to be but here we go. Everybody conga. Everybody conga. Are we doing the limbo stick next because I might have troubles?
