    Ugh. So sick of my weeping face… it’s sloooowly getting better but this hot weather is pretty hard. Cursing myself and my nighttime stupidity every day. Everyone starting work early Monday and Tuesday in order to finish early. I can’t because school run. So I’ve got Monday off that I know of because there’s no point in them having me go in for a couple of hours. Possibly Tuesday as well. Nice but need the moolah. So between cursing myself and being skint I’m a miserable bitch lol. Going to look at animal pictures 😄

    So the praying mantis is still hiding in my studio. I believe it’s a male and I don’t have the heart to tell it its head could be devoured upon sexy time. If it were smart it should get a little mantis helmet.

    It is doing a wonderful job with flies though.

    Spent the day with a close mate. Sat around talking all day in front of the aircon. Was fucking awesome! He’s a really good guy, super chill and has a very grounding presence.

    I’m going on a blind date with a friend of a friend of his which could be really cool. We have similar interests which is always nice. It’ll be an interesting experience regardless of what happens.

    Hope everyone is doing OK out there ❤️

      That’s a nice way to spend the day, especially when it’s so hot outside.

      When you going to be going on your date?

      Good to see you’ve got cat tv on in the background.

        Going on Thursday night. I’ve found a nice bar down south Yarra to grab a drink and see if we get along.

        I pretty much talk to anyone and everyone who I feel wants to talk so meeting new people is always fun regardless.

        We’re both part time musicians so there’s plenty to chat about.

        I don’t go with any expectations and I think that’s the right way to approach things. Always up for making a new friend :)

    Hilarity from the Other Place. No you should not ask your Ex to use a clone a Willy kit! Reminds me of the running bet I had with myself about how many pages into a thesis by a male sculpture student I could get without finding a replica of their cock.

    I made a bit of headway trying to get a not to work on here. I figured out how to edit read-only files on linux. I just need to get docker to work now and I should be able to post to testing

    After spending big money on the recent bike service they still didn’t fix the puncture I brought it in for. If I need to replace the tyres I’m going to get the very sensible Schwalbe Marathons instead of these temperamental and expensive racing tyres

      It’s a ripoff. I was shocked with my last one years ago (was $400 and I’m not even sure what they did). I just do it myself these days w/ the help of YT. Not for everyone but once you do it once it’s easy.

        They replaced the chain and rear sprocket, which makes sense since I’ve been towing a trailer. Its more that I took it in to get a specific thing fixed and they didn’t do that, whilst charging me for everything else

      I’ve been happy with my marathons. I used to get continental gatorskins but they dropped in quality - I tore through the side wall on three in a year. Plus the marathons have the reflective stripe, I’m big on cycling visibility.

        That’s what I want. Nice, simple tyres that just get the job done. I mostly use my bike for commuting so I don’t need fancy race tyres
