I went outside into my garden and looked at all my lavender (it has self-set everywhere, as a "weed" is wanton to do, and I've dug it up and planted it in some form of order) - there's plenty of flowers and yet not a bee to be seen. It was really fucking depressing.

Scary day today, I'm going to wear some new shoes, lovely very supportive soft impact easy to wear sandals, in orange!!. Always a little risky to wear new shoes when you have sciatica. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป

Well bollocks and crap and all that.

I've been asked to work at another site one day a week for the rest of the year on a temp basis.

I'm not exactly thrilled at having to be at another site, first off the drive there and back and not really knowing anyone over there.

sigh

I may not have a choice in this either. I did say it has to be passed through someone else and be ok with them but they're away at the moment, I could probably say to my line manager and suggest that it's not a good idea to transfer me but at the same time it leaves my site unattended as well for one day a week to cover for their absence.

I need to think through this and how I'm going to navigate this. In the end I may not have a choice but to comply.

I had some really good food cooking inspirations later on in the week early this morning.

Now I'm not sure I'm motivated enough after today to do it even though food is one of those rare things that brings me a lot of joy at times.

Went for a bit of a scoot to the supermarket after I popped into work to pick up a laptop. Banger of a day. People are out enjoying the weather everywhere and my washing on the clothes horse out on the balcony is drying up reeeal nice too.

I have my last meeting of the day at 4pm and then I'll get back out amongst it #gingerinthesun

I found a flea bite on my footโ€ฆ Melbcat is very annoyed Iโ€™m not letting her outside and traumatized her with the vacuum. Sheโ€™s not going to like when I strip the bed

ow, they itch like crazy

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

the r/MelbourneTrains sub always makes me happy, I smile every time an update hits my feed ๐Ÿ˜Š

I think it's because it's all posted in pure enjoyment of Melbourne and trains

Scootering along the Yarra's edge during peak hour = lots of pedestrians with zero spatial awareness. Almost cleaned up one girl who made a very sudden 90 degree turn while staring deep into her phone screen. That was a mix of stressful and relaxing 6/10 one thumbs up.

[โ€“] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That kind of zero spatial awareness makes me long for those ancient Briton chariots, with revolving scythes on their wheels a la Boudicca. I wonder if one could bolt scythes onto a scooter .... hrrrm.

[โ€“] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I had to look up what a Chebarashka cushion was. Ye gods Ted!

Incoming rant warning.

Sometimes it feels like the healthcare system here is one giant Ponzi scheme, with GPs constantly feeding new customers to 'specialists' who charge a fortune, who then sends the report back to the GP, so you have to pay to hear the results, which often leads to another referral to a different specialist, who sends the report back to the GP and the cycle continues.

The only point at which it feels less terrible is when you've spent so much out of pocket that you've hit the safety net limit and everything costs so little after that (but still a PITA to organise)

Why would I need to wash "prewashed" flax linen quilt covers and pillow cases?

[โ€“] dumblederp@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

You don't have to wash them, you can do whatever you want. What did you get? There hasn't been a good flax linen conversation in a while. My sheet society sheets were better than the Southland ones, but I wouldn't buy either again.
