Had some stuff done a few months ago on the roof. Turns out the dudes just cut the downpipe and used a brick to keep it in place without reconnecting it. I only worked that out the other day after that rain.
Was wondering why the rose next to it was having a great time:
Should be an easy fix (was just gonna use PVC glue and that PVC rubber tape stuff) but jeez a bit of a poor effort. Getting people in for such small jobs (or getting them back to fix their fuck ups) is hard today.
Alright, lamb shanks are in the slowcooker! Excited af about this. Never had them at home before. Well, except for the frozen pre made ones.
Overnight (our night) there have been strange reports coming in from agricultural hubs around the world. Cows and similar bovines appear to have all at once changed their signature "moo" sound, puzzling farmers, biologists, and even physicists. The sound these bovines are now making has been described as follows:

GOOOOOOOONseeGOOOOONseeGOOOOOOON
Edit: it appears that birds capable of producing human sounds have also begun what can only be described as a chant
Big weekend for him, doggo sleep now.
I've got a few pretty politically conservative types in my extended family. Mostly we've always been able to have decent conversations but more and more it seems like the information they quote is so different from the information I see about the world I don't even know where to start. No ...I don't think Trump helped the American economy last time but I don't even want to start to explain why I think that. And no we are not being held back by Greenies .... I just can't even find common ground.
Very slow start to cleaning today but I've cleared out a lot of junk hiding in the kitchen (years of plastic packaging that I meant to throw at redcycle, old teas and boxes of nuts) and tidied under the sink which is the one set of cupboards I know they'll check with good reason.
Off to meet friend and try to keep spirits up...
I have Monday off, figured I'd do the vacuuming + mopping + mass laundry to get rid of cat hair that afternoon after sox leaves. When I get back today I'll just continue with the decluttering and wiping surfaces so that it looks neat and tidy enough. That's doable.
So nice to have Fisk back on as a cozy Sunday night treat. Just lighthearted and relatable and low key. The North Melbourne trams are like their own character. Also: I have been guilty of steaming milk so loudly it sounds like a pig being slaughtered 🙋♀️
Looking forward to Aaron Chen's character's grandma next week.
Speaking of other cozy shows I binge-watched Ludwig over the past two nights; nice little romp as well. Recommended if you like David Mitchell.
Shrinking S2 is on too and I'm looking forward to that on Wed/Thu now that Slow Horses s4 is over.
Goodnight everyone ❤️
The bass is fucking awesome!
Sunday got unsurprisingly lit, surprisingly early.
I’m reorganising my National Geographic collection, and I’m missing random ones
✅ Breakfast
✅ Groceries
✅ Post breakfast nap
🔳 Cook
🔳 Meal with friend
🔳 World Domination
🔳 Maybe laundryNow earwigs want a piece of my seedlings… unfortunately for them I employ an organic pest control system called ‘yeet’
My only regular shift that they cancelled would've ended at 10. It's 11 and I just woke up. So nice to not be waking up at 6 on a Sunday.

30/50 could easily be worse.
