Made it down the bellarine. Disco LED chilli back in the game!
I hope they enjoy those sweet sweet 300w cheapo aliexpress fire hazard rays.
sativas or indicas?
Tried those Oreo coke biscuits. Not sure I want to taste coke when I eat a biscuit; and the aftertaste lingers. 2/10 from me.
Watching 7+ because it’s the only channel showing the show I want to watch.
Being subjected to the 4th run of 8 ads in a row. Like the pretty much the same 8 ads. I can’t even…
where protest? Husband said at exhibition, it’s not here, it’s at the expo centre?
It was by Batman Park and outside the Crown. There wasn’t a huge group, despite the coppers spending $10,000,000 on blocking traffic for it.
The cops were absurdly violent to people who did show up though. Tear gas, someone got shot in the face with a rubber bullet, lots of shoving.
They’re both called exhibition just for funsies. It’s at Jeff’s Shed, the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre if we’re being formal.
But I’d stay at the Royal Exhibition Building and chill in the nice gardens, much better vibes.
Ooh I didn’t realise you were going
I stayed home cause I’m still feeling crook and really don’t have the energy, but I’ve been reading the ABC’s coverage, and it seems like it’s winding down now, but has split into 2 groups
From a bit over an hour ago:
Crowds outside the Land Forces expo have now shrunk to a few hundred from their initial thousands this morning.
ABC reporter Jess Longbottom is at the protest, and says demonstrators have mainly split into two groups — one in front of Crown Casino, and one on the north side of the Spencer St bridge.
More recently:
ABC reporter Natalie Whiting is on the ground at the protest and says protestors on the Batman Park side of the bridge have largely pulled back.
“They have said they are assessing and recouping before deciding whether they will return this afternoon or wait until tomorrow,” Whiting says.
“There is still a group of protestors gathered on the other side of the river, closer to the convention centre.”

I just discovered that the girl at the deli last night gave me 2 kranskys but put them through as 1. Free sausaaaaaaage!!
Meanwhile when I offer people a free sausage, it’s rarely met with a positive reaction.
Well, kranskys are delicious; you can get any old, wrinkled sausage at Bunnings but it won’t be a kransky 😅
The Bunnings snags are not even snags IMO. I’m talking about a proper, European wurst type offering.
How dare you imply I would offer such low quality products to unsuspecting individuals.
Well, any consumer will need to see and assess the product before purchase 😂
Everyone loves a girthy wursy
Where rain?
I’ve been away for a couple of nights and now Miss Meow has decided I need her constant supervision.
Is she a good supervisor?
No. After shadowing me all evening I rolled over in bed too often and she has decided to give up and left the room. Hard to get good help these days.
They’re funny creatures. One of ours who we didn’t think really liked any of us has pined for our boy away at camp. He came home this afternoon, she hasn’t left this spot. Also note the JRT who is miffed, because she’s usually the one with the boy.
That is super cute!
Awww
I don’t have para social relationships with celebrities, I just really enjoy reading about their shenanigans and weirdness. They’re humans too, elevated on pedestals, and it’s interesting to see what humans do when they are so rich and famous.
This whole David Grohl cheating scandal is delicious. People who elevated him to the position of “one of the good ones” (alongside Keanu and Pierce Brosnan, maybe Jack Black too), are losing their minds that he not only cheated, but now has a baby on the way with the other woman.
People are taking bets on how old the other woman is, with the running theory she’s in her early-mid 20s.
It’s just so entertaining to me. No one is so good, or will always be so good, not will they always remain bad. They’re humans trying to navigate having their lives out in the open, with every minute action critised or admonished.
Anyway, I’m all here for the juicy drama. If I had to place a bet, I reckon the other woman is 25. David is 55, prime time for a midlife crisis and to try and wet his dick with someone younger.
I am so glad I’m not under the microscope. I wouldn’t survive a day. I was military. I’ve been on the dole!! I have tragedies. I have estranged family who would sell me out for pennies and anger. Oh noes, Mr Seagoon was in the military!! Etc etc etc
The press is totes into black and white thinking, everyone is either all good or all bad, there is no nuance.
I think they build up the pedestals just so they can topple them.
And all for ratings and sales.
If David wants and needs company that’s his business.
Yeah, you couldn’t pay me to want any of that.
100% agree. It’s easy to judge people from a distance. Who knows what the reality is?
No one is perfect. And to pretend otherwise is misguided at best. We are all people, capable of the most and least noble actions.
Should we take a magnifying glass to anyone’s life, myself included, there would no doubt be plenty to deride them for.
All the sewing is finished. Don’t think I’ll drag out my machine for a while. I’ll take pics in the morning when the light is better. So much getting rid of stuff still happening. :) Been so busy haven’t really watched any tv , movies or news and worse, haven’t been posting here much but I do read everything you all write. 😘.
Today’s protests are hypocritical. Protesting violence with violence? Some of those interviewed seemed to think what they were doing was ok because they believe they have moral superiority and therefore assaulting people attending the expo is ok? Hmm where have I heard that before.
I’m sure there were some genuine decent protesters there but so many were disgusting animals.
The decent people always get drowned out by the aggressive ones.
It’s comical to me that they held a weapons expo in Melbourne of all places, the protest capital of Australia.
Generally it’s a very safe country.
Am in all-day team training, being made to watch videos
save meeeee!
had a crack at that sausage roll roll for lunch (that’s a sausage roll on a bread roll for those playing at home). Honestly? not bad! I only had 3 sausage rolls left over from kiddos dinner last night, and it was a great way to pad them out a bit.
Buttered and sauced I hope 🤞
Yep! Had no idea this was a thing till the other day but when you only got 3 mini sausage rolls left over its a great way to pad them out.
Thank god because I would’ve disowned you.
Next up, potato cake roll if you haven’t already.
More a sandwich kinda guy. Potato cake goes less soggy on bread for some reason. LOVE a chip sandwich! Especially charcoal chicken shop chips!
It’s a roll in a roll, or that’s what we called it on high school. Your next challenge is a dimmy roll with soy sauce.
oooof yeah nah not a huge dimmy fan, but it has been a while so maybe I should try 'em again.
Hehe, TIL I can hear NFC through my headphone cable
I had my headphones plugged into the cable from my PC, but was also using my phone when I started hearing a series of clicks and then a short high pitched squeak. Played around with airplane mode and eventually narrowed it down to the NFC. That’s pretty cool!
Now I’m tempted to go chuck some data on an NFC tag and see if I can hear the data 🤔
Probably a bad idea, could end up being super loud or something. Who knows. Anyway I’m bad at resisting bad ideas, will be back later with a status update
I thought there was something wrong with my wired earbuds I plug in to my laptop, because I was hearing clicks in them at random times. Turns out I was because I was putting my phone back down on the cables. I always theorised it was my phone trying to charge itself wirelessly, but it definitely makes more sense if it’s NFC related.
I did it! It wasn’t super loud, even on max volume. It’s super cool. Also TIL my NFC tags have a size of ~500 bytes
Good night everyone. 😘
I got my kitchen cleaned, dishes washed, shirts ironed (yuck), tomorrow’s to do list written and bags mostly packed! Night night.
like a reverse tornado 🙂
