It's lovely mild summer evening here in Carlton.

Released from hospital, referrals to specialists, on and on it goes. Back to hanging in there and trying to cope with pain while I wait. I’m feeling like hell and very wobbly.
Still trying to get a quick stick vacuum in while Moobeans isn’t here to get stressed or breathe floating dust. I also broke out the scented carpet stain remover to clean away the last of the stubborn vom spots so hopefully the smell *of the cleaner is gone by the time she’s back.
rest now, take care, lots of hugs for you both
Thanks. I’ve done a couple of things and should have help tomorrow
Many loud sky explosions, and everything has suddenly become very wet. I think the predicted storm might be here.
Edit: And now ther are chunks of ice falling everywhere.
Looks like Melton will get hammered, again too. Might rain here in Thornbury - I did water the garden but refrained from washing the windows just in case.
Nothing here yet. I think Gisborne and Sunbury might cop it.
Anyone here done speed dating? The thought of it is terrifying but I don't now how else to meet singles. Apps fucking suck.
I've done it. It wasn't terrible but lower your expectations would be my suggestion.
I want to give it a try, meeting people for the first time in real life is so much better. But the thought of it is very scary. I've found a provider that looks good, just need to sign up and do it.
Yep I have. Actually had a good time. Met a few people that I ended up seeing for a little while which was fun.
But I don't go anymore. Real life is so much better and also terrifying which I'm a fan of.
8th night without power, in the Yarra Ranges. Really not good. The Outage Tracker seems to say that maybe tomorrow night late the power will be restored. Not holding my breath.
Well, I didn’t need to hold my breath. The power is back on! Thanks everyone for your kind words over the past few days, really helped.
Of course, now I can hear approaching thunder crackling in the distance. Another storm… 😳
Was it down long enough for you to get the $1920?
Yes it was.
Got my power back today too. Thursday is looking bad weather wise. I’ve just come inside due to thunder now too.
The battery life on this ThinkPhone is spectacular. Also, I've been using gesture navigation instead of the 3 buttons for the first time and it's kinda awesome. Took a little bit to get used to but now I can't see me going back.
You get used to gesture navigation surprisingly fast. I had to turn it on my old phone I use for emulators as well because I got so used to it.
I'm going to keep an eye on these ThinkPhones, they're an interesting concept
For someone out of the loop, what's the difference between these and your regular phone?
They're just mid-spec Android phones, but Lenovo owns Motorola so they may have some of the durability of the Thinkpad laptops from which they get their name
w00t, I just cleared level 49 of Bubble Town classic
level 50 crashes the system but we'll see if I can do it this time
I went and had a go at it when I saw this comment. I got to level 6 and it crashed!
just another brainless time wasting match three game
but it's free :)
Try Family Island. It's free, the graphics are good and it is not a match 3.
once I do level 50 I'll try it :)
Found out yesterday morning that was going to be my last working day. Cue frantic tying up of loose ends and organising a handover. And that was it. Handed over my laptop. Now on gardening leave for 4 weeks. Emails and Teams already cut off. I’m not upset at this situation, just in shock that it was all so sudden.
Thinking of doing a short trip somewhere during this time. Otherwise there will be a lot of catching up on sleep, time for cooking, relaxing and preparing for what’s next.
Good luck for the future.
