Aaaand I changed my mind again and I'm now at a resort in NSW which looks suspiciously like a motel. Nice though. Has Foxtel so I've got the NRL on and a nice cold beverage.
They even have stubby holders! Cheers!

Almost finished restoring the kukri (gurkha knife) last night. Interestingly when placed in vinegar several times overnight, it's the edge (hardest bit) that's most affected chemically.
A word of advice is don't tackle the edge after a few drinks. Looked like a murder scene.
Told ya.
home now, it's getting cold, sat down with some hot coffee and those nice strawberry wafers . oh noes, I accidentally picked up the peanut flavoured ones ๐ต
Coffee so late? Isnโt that going to make it hard to sleep?
Bummer about the wafers :(
half a cup and weak
reminds me, I better take some nurofen while i have that little bit of caffeine in me
Pretty therapeutic cleaning out my carport after 3.5 years ๐ฌ binned a whole lot of old crap from my old work car, swept up a huge pile of leaves, dust and debris, removed the years of neglect. Now it's unrecognisably clean and tidy! So much less depressing to look at! I'm sure my neighbours will be happy too.
Aint much for a Saturday but I definitely feel like I've earned the right to chill for the rest of the day. Not gonna push myself too hard this weekend...

Coming away was the right choice. Just pulled $1000 profit out of the club.
Motel was $160 and this trip uses about half a tank of fuel so let's call it a $790 winner. I've got enough points on my RSL member card to get a big free breakfast tomorrow.

I fully fell asleep on the couch in my oodie while I had the radio on listening to the footy.
Just started to feel waves of drowsiness taking over me then I was out like a light for maybe an hour.
Also the garlic toast I made and had might have had too much garlic.
I have the breath of death now.
Sounds like your body needed the rest to recharge from the week's stress? It's good that you were able to relax though. This weather definitely makes it easy to not do very much at all. It's not even 5pm and I'm seriously feeling like falling asleep as well. Low power mode...
Today's question: i know you can get sub-meter circuits for mains. But can you get ones with safety switches built in? ๐ค
In other news, mordialloc vintage market was a terrible place to take me to and his lordship has no right to complain about what happened when he did. Not when I literally just bought a pikestaff
A medieval pikestaff type pikestaff? Cool. ๐
technically a pike pole I suppose, but this looks like a home built jobbo of the kind designed to do horrible things or possibly someone who got way into their kid playing Roman Centurion #3 at easter and had genX levels of child safety in mind.
......but let's be honest, who's gonna argue semantics with the woman wielding a chunk of spiked and curved metal on a 50mm diameter shaft?
