My nephew just asked me who to vote for...stand back kiddo, aunty has got this πͺπ»
ted has a new cat tree, he has chairs and soft beds, this cardboard box lid on the balcony is his favourite spot
Sounds like normal cat behaviour to me
yup π±
Alright.
No big surprises it's music and cat cuddles this evening.
I'm doing some work over the weekend but it's actually fun adjacent, so it's not too bad.
Cheers π»

The band I'm in just released our debut album today! Eeeeep π± but also woooo π₯³
Slowly working down the moving checklist. Power & gas connection is organised, and mail redirection done. I need to look at insurance, which is a bit of a nuisance as my current policy ends 3 days before the moving date. Removalist is the next major thing to organise, and then lots of lots of address changes.
I looked at NBN yesterday, it looks like it has FTTP installed already. That will be good, as I'm looking at getting a Ring doorbell and some security cameras. Money is just flowing from my accounts like water at the moment!
Countdown: 1 week from key collection. 1 month from final move date.
here's ted
Haiiii Ted, you are glorious!
he is and he has a great personality too, I love him very much
I just opened Excel and the columns now use numbers as well as the rows. Formulas need to be written differently and now row number goes first instead of column.
What is going on? I feel confused, I feel sick, I'm dizzy, am I smelling toast?
very early breakfast for Ted, who woke me up by walking up and down my body
he's been on a diet too, lost so much weight, he must be real hungry to wake me up
so hugs and half brekkie for the little guy who is not so round anymore πββ¬
"walking up and down my body"
I would like to hire the shiatsu kitten alarm clock please
Unfortunately shiatsu kitty often comes with enthusiastic amateur acupuncture
yeah, today I found a dead penguin washed up on the beach. Called wildlife services and they said this area has loads of penguins and it's a natural event. Poor little guy.
Here's hoping the school down the road will have a barbecue going early tomorrow when we go to vote π€
Home early yay.
Let the journey of Expedition 33 continue!
Cheers voters πΊ and 'ave a good weekend π

Pah! Last election my local election booth had CAKE STALLS! I will have first dibs on the first passionfruit/cream sponge I see! Plus sossiges of course but compared to a nice passionfruit sponge .... no contest!
My local polling areas don't have anything πI have been known to visit a neighbouring suburb in the electorate who's local school knows how to do it right and vote there. Sossig and cake stall, come to mumma!
I'm going to the one my kid is working at purely to embarrass her.
She'll be working for the greens. π
All the exciting things I've ordered lately and the first thing to arrive has to be the mop bucket. Still, it is a very nice mop bucket. And it has wheels, so it can roll with me as I move around the room. Plus it's in a nice bright hazard warning yellow with "wet floor" warnings on the side, so Miss Meow and Mr Woof will know to be careful. Although it would probably be more useful if I actually had the mop.
Back in the day (mid 90s, Saturday night) my local night club was The Grand Hotel in Essendon. Where was your's?
P.s. Friday night was Shooter's in Glenroy. $2.50 drinks.
The Chevron in St Kilda Road! Also the Croc, the Parkview, and the Dan O'Connell. But just about any pub had live music on Fri/Sat albeit of varying quality and volume back in the early 70s. If you could be bothered with a long tram ride, then the Three Weeds on Plenty Road often had good bands just starting out.
I like it when clients ask a lot of questions but my god, this one has gone to absolute town. Getting their money's worth I see.
Managed to squeeze in a real full-body massage that had me being knelt on and every last knot massaged out, every finger and toe and every muscle in my shoulders and even my eyebrows got a massage. Ahh, bliss. I can sleep well tonight
Oh shit, is the election tomorrow? And the ballot has to be completed on or before it? Even with the constant spam texts that snuck up on me. Iβve been really sick for weeks.
I guess I just do it tonight and mail it tomorrow, and hopefully even with the weekend it arrives within 13 days.
Edit: Iβve filled out the ballot slip and voted above the line with 6 candidates. Already second guessing my choices but itβs done.
Tomorrow someone comes so they can witness my signature and take me to post it.
And if it is too late then they can just fine me. I donβt care. Iβm struggling severely with my health and am doing my best.
Ticket inspectors southbound on St Kilda Rd @ commercial rd
On day two of βonboard for delivery within 24 hoursβ and you know, you KNOW the instant you poke them it shoots to NO DELIVERY FOR YOU
β¦but on a far more hilarious note hubs just tried to infolecture me on DNS somehow completely forgetting that I have worked for multiple webhosting companies and know way, way more than he does. Oh and sweetie, you are incorrect.
Iβm having a quiet night in watching the footy, as Iβm expecting a busy quokka filled election day. Bought a salad and a Woolies quarter chicken and settled in.
Also bought Masters spearmint milk, because thatβs A Thing over here apparentlyβ¦and itβs legitimately great? I donβt understand why we donβt also have minty milk?

FRIDAY!!!!!
Working on building an internal LLM agent for work. Pretty exciting tbh.
I've started off with removalist quotes by getting a couple online, hoping for a rough ballpark figure. One was over twice the cost of the other. Accidentally including a trampoline in the list of things I am moving may have had an impact, although the total m3 they estimated was roughly the same. I almost added 35 outdoor umbrellas to the list on the other, due to resting my finger on the touch screen, but fortunately realised before I submitted it.
