I was going to post a picture of my sunset kransky in bread on the beach to show off but..

Then this happened on the way back:

I was riding back from the dog beach on a very loud trike.. this little one just walked in front and headed to the dog drinking bowl. It did not care about me at all.

Took this from about 50cm away. Guessing it is an orphaned juvenile. It did not give a single fuck. I've never seen that. huh.

Might be sick or very stressed.

I wonder.. no flight response at all.

Seemingly in good condition:

Hopefully it’s just somewhat used to humans and was just very thirsty. The ones in my front yard are happy to sit on the nbn cable and watch me water the garden from only a couple of metres distance

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you attempting to fast forward Halley’s Comet?

Ok so I've hand balled this to the resident space nerd and he said " what the fuck. You don't want a meteor. They destroy shit. You want a shooting star". I don't know what this means. I get the feeling I'm about to find out. Thanks bacon.

The tipsy lecture? I’ve been subjected to those before. I now know all sorts of random things, mainly about guitars and various musicians

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Hahaha. You know it sister! The concentration that's involved.

Wish I could say the same, got a headache though so the feeling might be the same in the end.

Typing is getting harder and harder

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago (6 children)

I'll give you two tips for headaches. 1st have a paracetamol and a little nap. 2nd don't pay for panadol at the supermarket. Buy a pack of 100 panamax at the chemist. I paid $3.30 although my mother doesn't mind if I pocket a few slabs out of her supply when I visit.

Hope you're feeling better soon.

I find a sleep or a coffee helps. But you gotta work out if it's lack of sleep or hunger or stress.

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s muscle tension, I can feel it in my neck and shoulders. Usually cracking my neck releases the pressure but I’ve been unable to do that.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (6 children)

That's a hard one because sometimes walking around sipping on coffee and paracetamol helps or sleep helps. It's your call.

Please do not take paracetamol when boozy.

If you take them occasionally perfectly fine. If you take handfuls at a time not good.

Any protanopes/anomaly here? (Peanut butter is green & purple is fictional.)

I want to ask the usual annoying questions but about a specific art project of mine.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I love peanut butter β™₯

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Good for you. Have some celery sticks with that.

I'm back in Melbourne and can confirm the Hume heading north looked like a nightmare.

Miss Meow coped better with the trauma of a pet sitter visiting this time - the sitter never saw her, but she was waiting at the front door when I came inside instead of hiding so I take that as a positive move. Mr Woof was apparently very happy with the visit once he realised food was involved, even though this was a stranger he had never met (this was a fill in as the original sitter that came last time injured herself and could not come).
