  • Just got back from a hike in Kinglake, the whole place was covered in a super dense fog. Also had to cut the hike short because the leeches were insane, so much so it began freaking my hiking partner out.

  • My assignment is submitted and Science of Gardening is now officially over. My garden plan is nowhere near as pretty as the example we were given due to my lack of artistic talent, but hopefully covers everything.

    If I was good at drawing I had some awesome stuff I would have liked to do - in particular I wanted to mark the location of the neighbours yard with "Here be Dragons" with a picture of a blackberry vine that looks like a dragon (as in the twisted stem forming the body, leaves for wings etc.). Instead I had to just use words to say that area needed to be monitored regularly for blackberries, which is way less fun.

  • I have finally finished the main work of my assignments that are due today. I still need to go through and do some editing and tidying, but the bulk of it is done. But my brain hurts and I need a break before I can do that. Afternoon tea and a dog walk should help.

  • Final assignment for my gardening course is due today, a plan of my garden. I have cleared table space. I have dug out the coloured pencils. I have found a ruler and printed off some graph paper. It feels like the old school assignment days - I haven't done work on actual paper instead of a computer in years!

  • Day 57/70: First day of week 9 weigh-in.
    Down 0.5kg. Second week of half kg drops. Nearing the end of the diet, though truth to tell I've let the foot off the accelerator these past two weeks. There are just too many special occasions breaking the diet.

  • With binge watching and streaming of series an sitcoms I noticed we don't get Xmas episodes anymore. 😟

  • The bot fails on a Sunday, yeah? Bot boss ( can't remember who it is) have you double checked whether the days of the week count should be 0-6 or 1-7? POSIX time (e.g. if you have a cronjob set up) is 0-6 where sunday is 0.

    Just a thought (and thanks for the Bot in the first place).

    • It's not consistant in failing on Sunday, and it has posted the thread in the Food Community today with no problems. It does seen to fail more often on a weekend, either Saturday or Sunday but I have no idea why.
      Once I have finished today's assignments I will have a bit more time and hope to get some new programming sorted. And possibly rescind the bot's work from home priviledges, maybe it will not slack off if it has a structured office environment.

  • I have a 9am dental appointment tomorrow, and the prediction is for heavy rain at that time. I don't think it is going to be the most pleasant walk. At least it won't be cold and windy.

  • Dins!

    Calamari with 5 sauces.

    1. Tartare
    2. Kewpie
    3. Nandos chilli jam
    4. Nandos perinaise
    5. My own "I can't believe you don't have botulism yet" habanero hawt sauce.

  • This came up in my YT algorithm - clothing decisions Succinct and useful. Might even follow as Justine seems clued up and sensible. Also French which adds a layer of credibility in clothing decisions.

  • Oh no tonight's match has been abandoned. Apparently the pitch in G-town is too wet and unpredictable. Can be dangerous. I was looking forward to seeing de Kock. They still let off the fireworks though.

    Also I shot a small moth for excitement. 🔫
