Successfully put holes in the wall. Pinboards hung. Too many years as a renter makes it so hard to believe I can just hang stuff.
Guess what? You can put in network cabling
Actually this apartment actually has MULTIPLE Ethernet ports. That and the dishwasher were the first things I noticed in the inspection!
but where do they go??
Oh the network cabling is all there. Connected to a little switch and the router. It saved me so much hassle
Ohhhhh that is sweet indeed
The dog’s outside barking at the thunder. He’s not coming back in until it’s over. You might think that’s cruel, it’s not. What’s cruel is him startling me with his barking two feet away from my ear.
Can you hear, can you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover.
Resident magpie has turned into a no fucks given thief. Stole my toast.
I’ll forgive her as she’s taking out the resident mudlarks (which are very hard to get out of the house when they get in).
But I think the oddest thing (and I might be imagining things) is that she understands the concept of ‘inside’ is a no go zone. She’s come in a few times but it seems like she respects the boundary and just hangs outside the open door.
The few times she has come inside she’ll just waddle out no stress involved. Never chased her out of the house, she just casually follows.
She’s a sneaky one food-wise but I swear they know difference (b/w inside and outside) which is pretty wild to think about. Very opportunistic creatures but with self imposed limits.
Released the 2nd single off my upcoming album today :) This is the music vid, featuring clips from a Europe trip earlier in the year. Hope you enjoy! https://youtu.be/XWzt0QLNFiM

Alright.
Work Xmas thing is starting at 7pm. Clothes are sorted, various cats will be fed shortly.
I reaaaaaaaalllllyyyyyy dont want to go but it is what it is.
Do the meet and greet and then skedaddle.
This is the way. Make sure the managers see you, wish them merry Christmas and be on your way.
Have to stay for the meal. It’s a fine dining place and they paid in advance :(
After raining just enough to make my washing wet again it’s cleared up into sun and blue skies. 🤷♂️
I’ve spent a productive morning in the kitchen. A couple of loaves of bread in progress. I’ve done the sauce to go with the fish curry, made a salad/raita and put the rice on timer so I just need to take a few minutes to cook the fish and add the sauce for dinner (and there are 7 more serves in the freezer ready for future me too). I’ve also made lunch, breakfast and snacks for the next two days at work .
After lunch it will be planting time, the plan is to get all the tomatoes and beans planted. Then I can come inside for a shower and rest on my laurels for the rest of the day.
Fish curry was a success. I was a bit worried the sauce was missing something, but once cooked with the fish & marinade ingredients it was perfect.
At a party. They started playing never have I ever. Sister drunk to some things that I didn’t expect. I have deduced that she might have a crush on the co-worker she always talks about. He is ten years older.
Edit: 13 years older and she is more or less at a formative age. I am meant to be the stupid twin
That game is a doozy!! Gotta be sober enough to know when to lie!
Oooh storms INCOMING from the west. Woke up from my nap in time to close the windows at least. Now next job is some washing and chopping of framers market haul and then to stop second guessing about where to hang the pinboard and just do it.
Magpie sees cat
That was weird. There was a magpie sitting on the fence just chilling and watching me for ages. I didn’t make any wrong moves so it kind of relaxed and turned its back to me, had a sing, had a scratch.
Then Melbcat wandered out of her spot under some plants and it was paying a lot of attention. But not flying away? I told the bird it was fine, she couldn’t see it, be cool. I turned around acting like the situation was fine, and Melbcat already laid down in another spot. It sat there for a little while watching us before flying off the fence and I heard it singing next door.
She probably would have got swooped if alone though. Hopefully my presence vouches for her but if the magpie hurtles down I might regretfully have to umbrella it
A little bit of dry cat biscuits are apparently OK for maggies if not repeated too often. Feeding them - they recognize people’s faces as individuals so getting friendly is a good thing imo. Prevents swooping.
Also, once the stawm hits, today is not going to be a good foraging day for the maggies, so a bit of extra food will cement a friendly relationship with no swooping.
Magpies generally eat small animals and insects, so giving a little bit of dry cat food or a bit of meat is good and builds friendship.
My nan and Opa have been friends with a Magpie couple and they have seen a number of chicks hatch on their backyard. Maggie’s will come right up to their backdoor and eat out of their hands lol
My local maggies hatched 3 chicks this year - and the bubs are still yelling at parents to feed them, and still have fluffy feathers poking out here and there. I don’t mind helping harassed parents a bit.
Not all magpies swoop, and those that do only do it during nesting season, which is over now. Befriend your Magpie, they are awesome birds.
This morning I have rolled out of bed and Boyo has bad dream punched himself in the dick. Probably best stay away from power tools.
ugh . Was gonna fit together the corten and prep the area where it’s gonna sit.
them remembered I’m gonna inset it in ground, and ughhh out comes the sander pull of the surface rust now I clean and dry them and now I crommelin them and god damn humidity extends curing times means what shoulda been three of them done on a fine day is one done and I’ll do another one tomorrow and another one on Monday and then wait a week before putting the fuckers in so it’s got time to fully cure.
It’s time to put the air con on. First time this summer. Went to the garden shop this morning, bought some flower seedlings and strawberry plants. Will plant them out later this afternoon when it’s not too hot.
That is a good plan. I just finished planting my tomato seedlings, and it was definitely too hot.
