Yep. The idea of up and down is just due to who made the maps first.

Yeah without any stated stake in this, this seems to be just looking for free smut to read. This isn't the place.

Terrible night's sleep but I've had a couple of leads on work (one is almost in the bag) and I just did a big walk in the sunshine and I'm not in pain.

Pretty badass even if I'm gonna go pass out very soon.

Yeah I checked - Aussie and I don't see it in PayPal

No particular hat obsession that I'm aware of. Think you just knew a weirdo.

All of those things can be avoided by following Australia's public health messaging that all kids have learnt since the early 90s. It started as Slip, slop, slap.

It's now:

• Slip (slip on a shirt i.e. Cover your skin in the sun)
• Slop (slop on sunscreen and make sure you reapply)
• Slap (slap on a hat, ideally a wide brimmed sunhat)
• Seek (seek shade - you shouldn't spend too long in direct sun)
• Slide (slide on some sunnies - protect your eyes).

While the country does periodically catch on fire over here, I love our summers. But to enjoy them, you basically have to remember that you're made of meat and if left under the grill in the sky, you will cook.

If you're morbidly obese I can understand summer being very uncomfortable. But for most people, taking simple steps can make even a 40°c day comfortable.

I've commented the following before:

That's the fun part of the far side.

When you don't immediately get it you have to wonder:

1. Is it a reference to something at the time that's not within my lifetime/country's zeitgeist?

2. Is it a play on an idiom or common cliche?

3. Is it literally nonsense and absurdity for the sake of it?

4. Am I just a big dummy?

I think this time it's 3.

There's a giant being outside the window breathing at a volume that the lady believes is her husband coming down with a cold. They're oblivious to the fact that the giant being is there. That's the intended humour -it's just absurd.

(It's never 4)

Drew their swords and shot each other. A deaf policeman heard the noise and came to arrest the two dead boys. If you don't believe this story is true, ask the blind man as he saw it too.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

I feel like that's already happening

I only got to institute this when I started working for myself. It took me a year or two to realise. For all clients or all agencies I sub for I have a strict no meetings before 930am rule. I haven't told anyone why - my calendar is just blocked out so each probably individually thinks I have some recurring appointment with another client. Nup. I'm in bed drinking my coffee. I'm a shit sleeper, if I manage at all. I spent decades working to the early birds' schedule. Fuck that.

But it is a privilege and very few can achieve that working in a company. It's gross to suggest to people they can just do it. I know my situation is niche. To suggest otherwise is arrogant and ignorant.

Or see a physiotherapist instead.

I've heard this called the 'dirty 30'. It works. Whatever needs cleaning up or tidying, 30 minutes is just short enough to not feel like you're using all your free time on chores, but long enough to make a real dent. Especially if your partner either helps with the same task or does a different one. Setting a timer can help and you start to almost frantically see how much you can get done. I like that competitive element even against myself.
