This part of Mernda is a weird spot. The sun is out here, but it can be raining on the other side of Plenty Road or just down at the next train station. It might be the big hill to the southwest of here
Cherry blossom getting there through the wind:
Next to pop are the echiums. Both flower almost concurrently and creates a sort of bee super highway as they go back and forth that you can hear from 10m+ away.
Oooo. Ok it's getting dark here now.
Sunshine is back. I thought it had knocked off for the day but it turns out it was just smoko.
sunny and windy after the 3-4 blocks of darkness
Itβs disco inferno over here
dark light dark light
So I noticed a company had put up a poorly redacted screenshot of a customer order, so basically they just gave away a personβs name, email address and physical address on Instagram.

Things were ok overnight? Hopefully we donβt get hit by it after saying that.

There's a game called "my tamagotchi forever" on ios and Android. Huge nostalgia hit!
Today's adventure:
Crawled under the house and ran some Ethernet cables. Super janky hard wiring setup, the profs and assorted nerds that know what they're doing will probably yell at me for how I did it. I just ran 2 Ethernet cables from the router out the wall, under the house, and into a hole in the wall in both my bedrooms. Then joined them into shielded ethernet couplers, and that's my new receptacle. Also did a cable between my two rooms, in case I ever do a NAS (that'll live in my spare room)
This is a crude and simplified doodle of what I did:
Mostly tested, both the router main cables work, the LAN cable between the two rooms won't be tested until tonight or tomorrow.
I am absolutely fucking filthy though, completely head to toe in mud. Literally. There's mud in my hair, and my shoes. I need a good shower

I find wind gusts fascinating. The giant tumble dryer decides what stays and what gets ripped up. Big gum tree you're getting uprooted um your friend there can stay. Rusty tin shed you're on your last warning this time but I'm gonna shower you with palm tree fronds from somebody elses yard. Kids trike I'm gonna help you along there.
Of course I don't like that it can be frightening or that people can get hurt or the cost of destruction.
I got back home with my dental x-ray and decided to take a peek. Discovered an x-ray with more teeth than I actually have, in much better condition. Unfortunately they were unable to swap my teeth to match the x-ray, so I had to drive back and pick up the right x-ray instead. I should probably be annoyed at the waste of time, but I'm too busy being relieved that I discovered the error before my dental appointment tomorrow.
I have the central heating on, and I'm jumping slightly each time it turns itself on again. I may be a touch on edge.
Another front of big wind on the way around 11 apparently.
