goodnight fluffybutt π
I really really love electric blankets. In the top ten of humanityβs greatest inventions for sure.
Fam from Queensland visit on occasion, are in awe of the electric blanket during winter visits
Telemovie review. Burning Patience. A sweet movie about people in Pablo Neruda's village. My question is, did he become a poet because everyone in his village was a poet and they lived in a beautiful place or did they become poets after reading his poetry? Maybe a little of both.
Everything I've seem from Chile has been good.
I really recommend this. 4 hobbits.
Beers, music, and the new update to Slice n Dice. Perf Saturday evening
What beer? I'm downing Pirate Life XPA and it's goooood
I have so many pain meds can't drink at all. π
We'll drink on your behalf, worry not friend.
Plans for the day abruptly derailed by realisation of failing silicone job at base of shower wall right in the splash zone.
Try getting through marine epoxy grout you fucker
Still, shower pan under tiles should keep things waterproof unless the membrane has failed?

60 year old house, 40 year old bathroom

failure was at the transition between wall tiles and pan

grout attachment on an oscillating tool?
Old stuff was straight silicone, so lots of swearing, picks, blades.....but l'epoxie be situated in lovely clean voids and curing merrily away since 8:30 pm.
I can't speak to epoxy grout, but I've been grouting recently and read on /ausreno that it takes a week or so to cure fully.
Yupples.
Was that for me? Generally f yuppies, but I don't see the grout connection.
that's an L, not an i. Yup-ples
Tell it to respect your boundaries. If it doesnβt itβs getting cut out of your life.
This kids gonna drive me insane and if he doesnβt the wife will. I said a 4pm nap was a bad idea, lo and behold who was right? 8pm and he wonβt go to sleep. Heβs gonna be up till 10pm again I can tell. And im a bad dad if I donβt do my part in helping fix a totally avoidable situation of my wifeβs own creation.
Lie on your bed with baby in your arms. Breath slowly and rhythmically to imitate sleep . Baby will copy and fall asleep.
great advice, and he does for about 60-80 seconds before he fights it.
Bad dad, no.
Bad partner...maybe.
Parenting is full of mistakes and misjudgments.
You and your wife are in the same team and need a united front.
One fucks up, the other fixes it.
It gets worse when kids become toddlers and older.
Take it on the chin, help out and keep it in your pocket as a favour in the future π
I used to stay up late and play video games with my son next to me on the couch when he was little.
You got this mate.
Up early today. Cleaned house (family effort), mowed the lawn, went to the gym, had GyG for dinner....now chillaxing with beers with my feet up.
Gotta appreciate the little things.
Feels like I've been going flat out even after settlement day, so this is the first chance I've had the space and energy to have a little celebration.
Couple of dishes from the little Chinese cafe which is a bit of a local institution, the bottle of bubbly the estate agent gave me when we sold the house, and sitting down to finally watch Bridgerton. Ahhh.
Jeez. Massive house fire a few doors down in kew.
Thing just collapsed in front of us all...
Everyone safe.
Poor cop telling everyone to stay away. Not an easy task when there are 200 people watching on she gave up.
Jeez that's what the structure fire warning I saw earlier today was... middle of a hike and got to a rare spot with phone reception and an unexpected ping.
Holy crap. I was meant to go for a short nap and fell asleep for 4 hours :(
There goes my day :(
Edit: fixed spelling mistakes while I was groggy
This is the closest I've ever been able to get
