I was lucky, someone came today and the vet was able to squeeze Melbcat in during that time. Waiting on another culture and she’s getting some extra tlc.

Edit: The vet also suggested brushing her teeth. Uhh, wish me luck

I love how the news re the sharemarket has gone from ‘bloodbath’ yesterday to ‘don’t panic’ today

on Saturday the blue wrens told me off, on Sunday a willy wagtail, Monday a flock of corellas, today I saw some yellow robins

and here is a pic of big swan footprints in the sand

The sun is shiiiiiiiining, so went downstairs and just stood in it for 5 minutes, felt absolutely lovely.

What's your most hated font? Every time I come across a document or email in Arial I just want to change it right away. It's so bland.

beeeeeach

trying to work out how to a linux version of sysprep. God I miss being able to search things on the net.

Dog is struggling with daylight savings. Why is my food late? Why is my walk at a different time?

Ha ha ha

Tech guy came to fix the stovetop, but he took one look at it and was like nope 😂 because the bench is stone (not wood), it has to be replaced with a same-size one. So he's gonna give a quote to the RE for that lol

Rangehood is still jacked as well.

At least it was a quick appointment 😂

I know it probably sounds stupid, but I'm a bit devo.

One of the strays, the little calico hasn't come to eat for the last 2 days and didn't see her today either.

I've gotten a bit attached to these guys and I think I need to take a little step back emotionally.

:(

So I was the pied piper on the weekend and took a troop of kids to see the Minecraft Movie. It was an experience.
The movie itself was pretty typical middle-aged kids' fare. Fairly awful dialogue and cliched characters. Jason Moama was a surprise, I thought Jack Black was the only famous star in it. I have a feeling that in the right role, Jason would have some wonderful comedy chops. This movie was not it. Stiffler's Mum was funny, but all I could see was Stiffler's Mum. I think the two female leads were great and a good foil for the Jack Black/Jason Moama antics. Pity the girls didn't really have a lot to do in the plot.

If I'd been watching it on Blu Ray or streaming, I might have turned it off. As a movie, it's not great. However, watching it in a cinema on opening weekend in a room full of kids really made it wonderful. They were cheering at obvious fan-service references that I didn't get. Screaming out at "Chucky Chicken!" and I can't remember other bits. But you get the idea. The energy in the room was great.

So while I didn't particularly love the movie, I loved the experience of watching it.

Is it just me or are people super inconsiderate at the moment? Had people blowing smoke (vape or otherwise) whilst walking in front of me, people stopping to chat in tiny sections of supermarkets, people pushing to the front of the line, talking loudly on the phone (or even worse on speaker!), microwaving eggs in the office, singing in the office and acting like a session on the loo is year 9 drama club audition. Violence doesn't solve anything but maybe we should make a gentle slap over the back of the head socially acceptable for when people are being a rude fuck.
