There was someone playing a song from Interstellar on the piano just now in Melbourne Central. It was beautiful! I was totally entranced, stopped my youtube, stopped eating, just sitting there totally caught up in it. I didn't get to see them before they disappeared, wish I could've said thankyou.

Made it just before sunset.
Blarg. Very little sleep thanks to hole in the gutter making incessant drum noises. Really sick of this house.
I'm about to vacuum. He is not going to like it.
Hello, RSPCA? Iโd like to report a vacuumingโฆ
mowing, laughing children, vegetables, cats, flies....
Downpipes cleared!
So some lessons learnt over the years..
- Fuck leaves and debris in gutters and putting it off
- Fuck too much water
- Right angles in downpipes can get fucked
- Use your ears to ~~see~~ hear if you've unfucked it
- Having no plumbing plan is bad and fucked. Write it down, all of it.
:)
Wise words friend, our overflowing gutters kept waking us up during last night. Looks like one of them has rusted through as well.
I hate that so much. If you're unlucky it could flood your ceiling/eaves. In the end those bristle things were installed in the gutter to keep leaves out

I'm crafting the resume with a "Christian" first name. Let's see how this plays out.
Jesรบs ?
๐คฃ
Chris?
My husband has had a "Christian" name for 30+ years now.
He's middle eastern right? If so, I totally get why.
Yep. His Arab name is only short and you say it how it's spelt but hey whatever gets you the job.
Exactly. I love my name but it is what it is for the moment.
Choose a name with the same number of syllables, the same hard sounds and if possible the same end. That way you will respond in a natural way when your name is called.
for example. Hasim becomes James/Jim
That's a great idea!
Names are precious. Keep your real name for with your loved ones , in private of course.
They're more likely to go with Harry or Sam

I swear on my mum's life...if my neighbour is out watering today I'm dropping him.
He was out there with the hose yesterday at lunchtime.
I nearly did that with mine yesterday after his dog bit mine again for the second time in 2 years. I mean, it was a jack Russel vs a Kelpie, I like my dogs chances, but told him if it happens again his dog will have the honor of being the second dog in orbit cause I'm punting it at the sun.
I cannot imagine not having a dog on a lead or behind a fence/gate.
What a knob.
Yep, his defense was "I only turned my back for a minute" but when the wife went over to play "Good cop" to my "Pull your head out of your fucking arse you C***!" cop, he admits the dog has issues. So why was it allowed out the front unsupervised at all?

First day of work since I got the lurgie. Managed fairly well.
Fortunately it's the quiet week.

A baby huntsman moved in last night. Nice, I want him to eat the bugs. I also hope this one has the commonsense to stay out of range of Melbcat's punches. (Nothing bad happened to the last one. He was just a dumbarse who had to be evicted for his own safety.)
Up all night playing Surviving Mars. Don't mind me, I'm just colonising mars in the far future ๐

Have a few regrets not cleaning one of the gutters before last night. Not a happy downpipe.
If there's one thing that comes up in convos seemingly every time about problems with a house, it's water.
It giveth life, it taketh time and cash monies.

I woke up to no power and had to get ready for Mr Woof's morning walk by phonelight. It turned out to be just me, something caused the main switch to flick off and I now have power back on.
that's some pretty big rain
Walk out the front door to start walking to the train station to see two huge purple flashes of lightning on the horizon. Yeaaaaaahhh might wanna haul ass to the station!
I hope to have a nap when I get home and settle down. I think I only got one hour's sleep last night :(
I just want to give a quick shoutout to the unsung heroes of Easter: Thumbnails. As in the fingernails on your thumbs. Is there any other time of the year when it's more important to have a good thumbnail?
If you're unsure what I'm banging on about.. check out my half-price post-Easter haul for reference:
