Trying to prod the instances alongโ€ฆ posted a โ€˜whatโ€™s free this month in Melbourneโ€™ but deleted it for obvious reasons. Iโ€™ll wait a day for it to update for September and post again.

The bathroom cupboard sort out has been complicated by discovering a slight leak in the bathroom drain pipe has been slowly soaking the chipboard in the base of the cupboard, which has become saturated and is starting to fall apart. As best I can tell it's a long-term dodgy plumbing issue, so not repairable without re-doing the pipes . The good news is that the flooring underneath looks fine, the chipboard has been soaking it up like a sponge! I don't think it's worth fixing at this point, so I've just pulled out the soggiest chipboard around the pipe to allow a bit of airflow and make sure there is nothing touching the pipe to absorb more water. I've got some vinyl shelf liner to put down to cover up the worst visible problems (once I've let it dry off a bit) and the new storage units keep things off the base of the cupboard.

Other than that things are going well, the storage units fit in the cupboard and let me access things a bit easier. It's a corner cabinet which means that it's hard to actually see or reach the things in there.

Ooh. Apparently the dodgy blokes for the gates are here too! At the end of the day, I may have a non cracked door frame, proper surveillance, and a closable gate

the best thing about the new Rings of Power is it doesn't have lenny henry

even with this improvement so much of the story/characterisation makes me either angry or exasperated

and they have persisted with keeping the audience guessing a bit regarding Sauron's identity

and orcs have Cockney accents

but the show is so beautiful to look at

Pakige!

Lots of good stuff, a couple of returns. Now I am ready for stage 2: organising the bathroom cupboard.

[โ€“] Baku@aussie.zone 3 points 2 months ago (3 children)

OMG me pakige too!

Nothing exciting though, just a water bottle from Kmart cause my last one broke

[โ€“] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They don't make things like they used to. My current water bottle is older than you are!
