have decided to take tomorrow off and go somewhere for the weekend. excluding Daylesford (its lovely but I go there all the time), where's a nice regional town for me to visit this weekend?
edit: someone mentioned wandi in a different thread, strong contender
After much procrastination I took the first step in my plan to make instructional videos by doing a short video of how to darn a sock. I really don't sound like I think I do when recorded, it is very odd. I also put some apps on my phone to filter for colour blindness visibility, it was a bit tricky to find colour combinations that would work well and provide good contrast for different types of colour blindness.
I think I've got the basics down about how to use the editing software, but managed to delete a section in the middle (fortunately not an important bit). I also need to work on keeping what I am doing centred when filming, I kept moving my work into the wrong spot.
Overall, lots of areas to improve on but I'm fairly happy with it for a first effort.
Dessert Story shaved ice 🤤🤤🤤 I should have taken a pic
Ice Ice Bby 🍨
Gorram it, fake nails lasted until I tried to open my beer can. Bad, sad, and mad.
It's a sign from the Universe that I refuse to acknowledge. pfft
Have a friend going to Olinda tomorrow, might suddenly become ill and go with. Had an incident at work when I started earlier this arvo and it's extremely soured my already diminishing taste for the place.
Pondering buying an old car in case I have to drive into the city - can’t park a large car to save myself. How many km is too many ? Looking at $5k or less. No Uber or taxi where I live. Was $145 to book a private car to get into the cbd a few weeks ago. (Was emergency medical)
Looks like the oil leak is an defective oil filter.
should be a cheap fix at least.
Day 19 of exercise program completed minus the jumping jacks and the mountain climbers due to mysteriously injured foot. Day 4 of tummy exercises also completed. Pain spray liberally applied. Ibuprofen taken. Let's get this bread!
My left rear car tyre has a slow leak and I just can't right now. I pumped it up last night, it was down to like 14psi.. I'd pumped it up 3 weeks ago and it was down to about 17psi then. Just.. urgh.
Well I've survived the night, Mr Peeler didn't manage to kill me with insufficiently cooked chicken. Foot is still sore but not quite as bad as yesterday. Luckily I've got a mostly sit down job today, making lasagna sheets. I'll take my pain spray with me and hope for the best.
