    The Seagoon has landed.

    It’s like a jump in Sliders, it looks the same in nearly everyway , just has these little differences.

      My kitchen smells like earth and hippies. This soup is so nutritious it’s veering into self-righteous territory. I slapped some crispy chilli oil on top to put it in its place.

    3 hours. Now that the stores are closed, they’ll attempt their IT requirements.

    Here comes the tsunami

    Edit: I feel awful because the strays will be fed 3 hours late but there’s nothing I can do :(

      I’m now curious how the whole cat thing went down. Did you kidnap a random cat and now don’t know who it belongs to? Did you have a delusional moment where you thought you found a cat but it turned out to be a pair of balled up socks in reality?

        😹 there was a random cat in my yard yesterday annoying my boys through the window.I took pics. This morning somebody put up a lost post that looked the same, but after extra detailed pattern analysis of the two it was not the right cat. Sadness.

    My hair has grown to that annoying length where it pokes me in the eyes. Too short to tie it all back without still having a mop at the front, and clipping it back… I need more clips than I possess due to it’s wavy chaotic nature.

    But I don’t want to cut it, I want to grow it out longer, so here I am whinging lol

      Been there. No fun. I haaate having hair falling in my face or into my ears or bunching up at the back of my neck. Also have wavy hair that’s a pain to control. I found in Kmart a circular hair control device - its a circle of zigzag plastic an inch or so wide and a bit stretchy, big enough to go around one’s whole head. I think its intended to hold back one’s hair with an Alice band over the top of it. Put it on around the neck, then slide it up and it holds hair back from the forehead and up off the neck. Front of hair is held sleek and smooth, then the rest of one’s hair runs riot behind it. Fairly comfy to wear, and you can put a bike helmet or hat over it if need be. Game changer for growing out hair past the annoying stage. And you can cover it with a ribbon or similar if you don’t like the look of it.

      the priceline version

        I haven’t heard “Alice band” for years; that just brought back a rush of emotions! It’s what I grew up calling it. Inherited from my mum’s generation and the slightly older-fashioned English she learnt in a heavily colonial system.

      I’ve just made peace with the fact that my fringe is permanent now. If I couldn’t deal with growing it out in lockdown, I’m stuck with it.

    How fortuitous!

    People say that the weather is boring small talk. However, since many kids believe things like rain is teardrop shaped, or heavier things sink and lighter things float, I’ve been reading quite a bit of physics and earth science stuff, and it’s so cool and weird how we have clouds and rain and other weather phenomenona. How does lightning happen? Thunder? Natural disasters?

    It’s so weird that we exist on a land with these things, and I am dying to learn more. I wish I had studied this stuff earlier. But I guess it’s not too late. Excitement ensues.

    I love learning when it’s for fun and not for grades.

      Lots of youtube stuff - I recommend Ozgeology for a local slant on this stuff. Melbourne based too. At least until he ‘discovered’ a river of gold underneath Melbourne. But seriously, this channel fits with everything I’ve learned so far about this town and continent.

      All this stuff used to be called geography - but they don’t teach that anymore as it was considered boring and irrelevant back in the 1990s. I have NEVER agreed with that verdict. Where we are on this planet and how everything works is something I been fascinated by since early youf. It’s basic to understanding where we are and what is likely to happen in the future.

      Well my knowledge of it is limited to highs and lows and how stupid it’s been one week from another.

      Nothing really in-depth though tonight’s low is 3-4 degrees if that’s of any significance.
