well that was a very cold walk. I normally finish a walk feeling warmed up, but today I am still chilly - especially my poor nose.

i feel like taking a walk but it is still dark but i am taking the walk anyway

Nothing, let me stress nothing upsets me more than being thanked for my patience and understanding. The nerve of assuming you are entitled to either metro speaks fucking volumes about your service.

Naughty Gladys has been found to be handing out funds whilst romping with her boyfriend. Tsk tsk

ordered a new computer, it arrived at my door 90 minutes later. i'm scared of it and have put it in the cupboard

Can proudly proclaim that whilst I still hold out the tiniest hope of hearing from my ex, I know now that I couldn't have a relationship with them unless they owned their behaviour like I have reflected on my own and changed. I'm a completely different person now and I know what I want and don't want and how I should be treated.

Edit for context; what I'm trying to say is, I have this tiny hope, but when I have the thought I then realise I don't want to get back together with my ex and that I've come to that realisation. In saying that I want ownership of behaviour and change in behaviour I'm setting a boundary because I don't see that happening and it's stands I've now set. I see now that I wasn't clear in this. Lol.

Still haven't woken up properly, nor have I emerged from the oodie knockoff except for a quick change from pjs to clothes.
Thank God (Gouda?) I did the shopping yesterday.

firing up a new toy for the first time

And in the latest instalment of Fuck Nestle, they are upset because they don’t want tax transparency. It’s really bullshit how our economy is dictated by big business. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/jun/29/multinationals-including-nestle-and-roche-push-back-against-scope-of-australias-planned-tax-transparency-laws

Oh joy, Emergency Room. Only 4 hours by some miracle. Wear your damn safety goggles people!!

Hello again 3am. We need to stop meeting like this.

I went into centrecom to get one tube of thermal paste. I assumed all would be well since I click and collected it.

All was not well. I spent an hour and a half in there and I now have 4 more Ethernet cables, a new USB stick I didn't need and yet another can of air duster

Edit: and I almost bought a new ethernet switch, even though I already have 3 I'm not even currently using

Guilty pleasure - chewy oatmeal and raisin cookies.

New movie for today was Grey Owl. I read this guy's books last year and read some bios too. Sadly the movie was a disappointment. Just a run of the mill bio. He is an unusual adult with skills and an interest who becomes a writer. The only thing that makes him different to other writers about nature and indigenous peoples is he pretended he was one. That is all. It could have been a good movie, spend time on his childhood and his beginnings. On the secret , have him hunted down by a journalist. Then public reaction and his legacy. ( and it's a good legacy, he helped start the environmental movement in Canada ) Maybe 2.5 hobbits out 5 and nice to see something that's not a marvel movie.

The Bach cello suites I’ve been listening to while I work have ended. It was lovely, but I need something else now.

DJ DT, spin me a track
