Well it happened again.
About 15 yrs ago I was playing with my cat and I fell over and fucked my lower back / hip.. 2 yrs ago I fell off my bike and I could feel it almost unfucked my back (counter intuitive, but it rearranged something). Then.. when swimming in the ocean a few times straight after it felt like something had really changed.
Had a big stretch and there was an almighty 'clunk'.. something popped back in. It was extremely satisfying. Woke up to zero (0!) back pain. I've been dreaming of that 'clunk' ever since even though the back / hip was all good.
Anyway that 'clunk' happened again this morning.
Dreams do come true.

Just a little message between the man and I.
Noted with thanks.
We're very fucking professional here.
It's 2am, I should be sleeping, and all I can think about is how absolutely awesome it would be to drive or work on one of the super long distance trains, like the ones across the nullabor or up north. I mean, probably not that awesome for most normal people, but I love trains, love being in the middle of nowhere, and hate people. Going on a 40 hour train ride through actual nowhere is genuinely a dream
It sounds like being a train driver would be a job choice for you. Not sure if you need to be qualified to drive metro trains before you can get to do the long distance ones (given they also run in towns). But you'd probably enjoy metro trains as well - even though there are a lot of people on the trains you don't interact with them as a driver, the only interaction is putting out the wheelchair ramp as needed. Downside is hitting the occassional person which can be stressful.

I've thought EXACTLY the same.
I've gone down the occasional rabbit hole of watching YouTube videos of this kind of thing, and I think there may have been a TV series a few years back following drivers and crews of different trains around the country, these Nullarbor ones included. Plus the whole Ghan slow-travel thing on SBS too.

It's Friday Fritter Day!
Corn & zucchini fritters, served with salad and mint yoghurt dressing. I made enough to feed a small army, so the freezer will be filled with many future fritters too.

Man I hate mornings after a big fight with my partner.
Turn Back Time plays whilst they sip their coffee....
Both my references were contact today, one missed the call and will call back Monday. Not celebrating yet, but definitely getting closer to victory!
Just used a Container Deposit Scheme machine for the first time, easy and fast to use, quite fun actually. I got $7 back and now there's less to go in our home recycling.
Done with work, I am ded.
Gonna eat dinner,
Then play mobile games in bed.
Work again

I'd better order my coffin
Before all the sales end.
Take care out there Teddy bear
Th*nksg*v*ng is the clearest reminder that the internet is American and the rest of us are just visiting.

Yah or nah for the lighting? Please ignore the massive mess.
It's also not as bright in the photo. Like maybe 30% ish of that
Oo i'm a fan. Planning on actually diffuse lighting the bathroom and laundry eventually
(Convincing His Lordship we also need to home automate an intruder alert protocol that cuts all lights to deep red and starts playing the imperial march)
That will be awesome...but also scary lol!

Had a chat with the housemate and she's keen on adopting a cat!! Now to ask the REAs permish. Any tips on how to approach it?
I do know you are legally bound by the Australian Constitution as well as state and local laws to submit photographic evidence of your adorable kitty to the Melbourne DT community.
Also consider “Baby Jeebus” as a name for aforementioned kitty.
Ask forgiveness not permission. They cant legally say no. Also Neko cat rescue are amazing! check them out.

Ask them how much the pet bond is. It is the most efficient way to ask permission for a pet, while also being aware that there are costs associated with it that you won't give them hassle over.

Wildlife Update: I’m located under a bat flight path. They are currently travelling North to feed. The bats return home around 0515. My guess is they live around Yarra Bend Park.🦇🦇🦇
Finally back home after 104km of driving round town. I forgot how tiring this can get. Missed all the excitement of the m1 bullshit thankfully. But it was nice not being on my phone all day..
My vacuum cleaner repair held and I have now finished the vacuuming. Miss Meow turned herself into Missing Meow for the duration, and is now demanding extra lap time and pats to make up for the trauma.

new dishwasher day. Thank god. I didnt realize how much we relied on it. We're washing the big stuff by hand, but given limited drying space (and the fact that the dishwasher died with a full load of dirty dishes) it feels like we're never gonna catch up.
