After much procrastination I took the first step in my plan to make instructional videos by doing a short video of how to darn a sock. I really don't sound like I think I do when recorded, it is very odd. I also put some apps on my phone to filter for colour blindness visibility, it was a bit tricky to find colour combinations that would work well and provide good contrast for different types of colour blindness.

I think I've got the basics down about how to use the editing software, but managed to delete a section in the middle (fortunately not an important bit). I also need to work on keeping what I am doing centred when filming, I kept moving my work into the wrong spot.

Overall, lots of areas to improve on but I'm fairly happy with it for a first effort.

Someone just found and liked a Facebook post I made in 2017. Things really do hang around on the internet!

Have a friend going to Olinda tomorrow, might suddenly become ill and go with. Had an incident at work when I started earlier this arvo and it's extremely soured my already diminishing taste for the place.

Woke up from a nap, now when am I?

Gorram it, fake nails lasted until I tried to open my beer can. Bad, sad, and mad.

It's a sign from the Universe that I refuse to acknowledge. pfft

Day 19 of exercise program completed minus the jumping jacks and the mountain climbers due to mysteriously injured foot. Day 4 of tummy exercises also completed. Pain spray liberally applied. Ibuprofen taken. Let's get this bread!

Pondering buying an old car in case I have to drive into the city - can’t park a large car to save myself. How many km is too many ? Looking at $5k or less. No Uber or taxi where I live. Was $145 to book a private car to get into the cbd a few weeks ago. (Was emergency medical)

Looks like the oil leak is an defective oil filter.

[–] dumblederp@aussie.zone 7 points 2 years ago

should be a cheap fix at least.

I actually slept a full 8 hours last night, no wake ups. One day in the office and it kills me haha.

My left rear car tyre has a slow leak and I just can't right now. I pumped it up last night, it was down to like 14psi.. I'd pumped it up 3 weeks ago and it was down to about 17psi then. Just.. urgh.

I thought I'd take my break outside in the sun and it's be nice and warm.

Nope, it wasn't warm enough and the cold wind was blowing quite strongly....frozen again :(

Well I've survived the night, Mr Peeler didn't manage to kill me with insufficiently cooked chicken. Foot is still sore but not quite as bad as yesterday. Luckily I've got a mostly sit down job today, making lasagna sheets. I'll take my pain spray with me and hope for the best.

It looks wimdy but yesterday was so warm I overheated in a long sleeve top and jacket. 🤷‍♀️
