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.

Blarg. Very little sleep thanks to hole in the gutter making incessant drum noises. Really sick of this house.
Made it just before sunset.
I'm crafting the resume with a "Christian" first name. Let's see how this plays out.
Jesรบs ?

Chris?
My husband has had a "Christian" name for 30+ years now.

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....
Your image broke my boost
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?

Maybe he doesn't like his wife.
I'm pretty sure no one likes his wife.
Bang. There you go.
I knew an old bloke who bought a shop just so he could sit out the back and listen to the races without the wife nagging. She was forbidden from entering the shop. Fuck he hated customers.

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

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.

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.)

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!
that's some pretty big rain
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.
I still haven't had the energy to go looking for the ginger ninja again, and as the weather gets colder and wetter he'll probably be hiding away somewhere. :(
Melbcat's ears are still looking a little sus. Unfortunately I need to clean her ears so antibiotics can work better and she hates having it done. I'm not managing the ear washes twice a day but will aim for at least one, and talk to the vet about restarting the drops.
I am really struggling with mood and energy.
Lie on back. Sit cat on chest (if you have boobs this is a big cat comfort plus). Gently rub ears, paying attention to cat grinding towards where they want rubbings. first two fingers on the back, thumbs at the front of the ear, circular motions, some gentle pulling out towards the sides. Misha gets her ears cleaned then a massage that starts on the ears and goes down the cheeks under the chin until she's drooled a puddle six foot wide and no longer complains about ear cleanings.
Downside: the little shit will expect ear rubs on demand.
