painting of vintage furniture continues
today it’s sand the iron outdoor table, then use some some rust killer, wash then paint with some lovely bright pastel aqua blue. It’s very Miami pastel .
then wash some more of the vintage bedroom setting for the spare room. Can’t sand and paint furniture that is dirty.
i bought gloves because my hands were getting shredded and now I’m off to the op shop later to get some old clothes to paint in. I threw all my old clothes away when I was packing.
i’ll post pics when it’s all done 🙂
Don’t forget the primer!🙂
the paint has added primer 👍
I’m looking forward to see the finished product.! You definitely chose a classic beach colour.
Happy Earth Day everyone. 🌞🌏

Slow, sleepy morning after a night of shallow sleep and crazy dreams.
Accidentally clicked on an nutter antivax conspiracy facebook link sent by a cooker inlaw. RIP my phone from whatever the algorithms serve me for the next 3 months. What level of exorcism do I need to decontaminate my phone?
I click “see less of” and “hide this post” on everything that Facebook suggests. My feed is now mostly just the subscribed groups (plus the ads, you can’t get rid of those).
If you want to completely decontaminate your phone you’ll need to get rid of Facebook entirely.
I am finding this to not work. Ads I hit hide on turn up again straight away. No idea why the bloody thing thinks I want to buy an inflatable kayak.
I don’t think it has any effect on the ads. But hiding the “suggested” posts seems to work for a short while.
I really wish more people would embrace moving away from Facebook though, I’m primarily there because of some of the groups, and until there are enough people willing to participate in the same type of groups eelsewhere I’m stuck with either using Faceboook or giving up on the groups.
My hope that we can create an easy-to-use fediverse alternative to FB groups and events is literally why I’m here. Help me make this happen!!
Yeah. I gave in to using it in the first place because of Events being on there and nowhere else. Some of the communities are fantastic, others utter poo. Blue sky and Lemmy aren’t big enough to do the same stuff yet.
I welcome the chilly mornings. It’s almost trackie time, but not just yet.
I have to go back to work tomorrow but screw it.
Got myself a coffee to treat myself.
Back from the bellarine from a thankfully mostly stress free easter. Got blamed for bro and SIL not coming down though (usually a tradition thing) lol. Pointed out a few things and the subject changed pretty quickly without a fight.
But in more positive news the old slide projector worked great for the nepal trip slides. There’s a big white wall down there that was perfect for it. Felt so old school. That tech is a bit before my time so was good fun trying to work out how to work the thing. Image quality was surprisingly excellent. A lot more fun than just flipping through files on the 'puter.
Slide nights are def fun 🙂 and you had beautiful pics too
computer pics are just not the same
What’s a family gathering without some blame being thrown around.
Glad it was mostly stress free for you, hope you’re a bit rejuvenated.
I think it’s the first easter without someone having a meltdown of some sort heh.
Client is getting shirty because the report I had planned to finish last week but couldn’t due to my manager’s shenanigans is now overdue. Manager is looking really guilty. I have been mostly giving him beatific smiles and continuing work at a steady pace. Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine 😇
My job and workplace are problematic, there’s no doubt about that, but I do appreciate that my boss doesn’t mind me sitting at my desk and tuning into CDawgVA’s Cyclethon. Event even inspired me to clean up my bike yesterday and get out for a quick ride!
Annoying neighbour has cottoned on to Boyo owning a fair few tools and made noises that sounded like a cash hire attempt. This isn’t a good idea for many reasons.
There is exactly one neighbour I loan tools to. He’s one of the good ones and honest to a fault. I’ve borrowed gear from him before (his suggestion) and we’ve helped each other out.
Anyone else can admire my tools from a distance.
Pretty sure he wanted the man and the tools. Much more time required on that to not be perceived as ‘The Help’ or whatever nonsense
Oh hell no. That’s a slippery slope and a half.
You help out, person is unhappy, and somehow it’s your fault.
I fell for that once not happening again. Stay away from that whole situation if possible.
Exactly!
Friday 2nd May the Thornbury Local is having a country rock n roll evening. I think I could get into that on election eve. And Missing Link is playing at Shotkickers on election night. OK, who needs to doomscroll when you can dance!
I decided to put the winter doona on the bed, even if the nights are still being a bit warm. It meant I finally got to use the fancy patterned sheets as a top sheet. I’m trialling using the doona between two sheets instead of putting it into a cover. I cut open the covers so I can use the patterned piece as a top sheet, and the patterned sheets I got from the Buy Nothing group are underneath and folded over to show at the top. Mr Woof thinks it’s ok, although he has a propensity to throw all the pillows onto the floor during the day so probably does not have the best credentials as a stylist.
bed
The boys are sick so it means I’m bedbound as soon as one needs to sleep because he has this sixth sense about you not being there.
My girlfriend said she wouldn’t stop working about being away from them but I said this could be a break for her to and I hope she’s enjoying it. She would be the one stuck in bed with him otherwise if we were home
aw, poor little guys, i hope they get well soon
I took them to a doctor up here and got them some prescription medicine so I’m hoping they recover by the weekend
Decluttering. Fished out the man’s books. Found this riveting bed time story.
Brian Cox is a god!
That’s hot
😂
