Man she was pissed when I dared wake her up so I could have some space on the bed. The nerve of me.

Mrs's cat came over and went "I want a pat... wait, your not mrs B! Wait..... is she around? Can she see us? hmmm, ok, you may pat me but ONLY if you dont tell her I am cheating". Her cat and I have a very complicated relationship.

The thing I love the most about cats, and maybe Gibson in particular, is the sheer fucking audacity and attitude for a ball of fluff that is literally 1/20th my size.

Zero fucks given. "I do what I want, when I want and too fucking bad if you don't like it. If you try to stop me in any way, I will make your life miserable for as long as I deem necessary".

I respect the confidence lol

My Pepper has that confidence. All 3kg of her, and it'd only directed at me. Every one else gets lovey Pepper, I get spicy bitch cat! I still love her, and suffer multiple scratches from trying to show her how much.

Spicy bitch cat ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚

Her nickname is Pepperoni. There is also a home made song about her being the spiciest of all the sausage cats.

So I think we solved the mystery of the rabbit: a tiny hole has been discovered by Miniest on the fence line. Last night Mr P heard someone next door calling something before the rabbit disappeared again. The neighbours must have gotten a rabbit at some point and put/built a hutch on the other side of the fence, perhaps using the fence as a wall of the hutch ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ After a couple of visits this morning (it wasn't happy Mr P had rearranged things in his man cave; it'd started making a cozy little spot for itself under his couch near the warmth of the heater) Mr P said he's going to block the hole. I'll pop a note in their letterbox telling them what's happened and suggesting that they reinforce their side of the fence where the hutch is.

Had a mate whos neighbors had a rabbit they just couldnt contain. The thing was like Houdini. No matter how hard they tried it would always escape. A different neighbors kid apparently went to their parents as were like "mummy mummy, there is a loaf of bread in the front yard! now a bird is attacking it!" It survived that one. It sadly didnt survive the neighbour with a greyhound. The greyhound owners were super apologetic, the rabbit owners were upset but said "we tried so hard, but we knew this day was gonna come, unless we kept it chained up this was gonna happen".

I had a pet rabbit once upon a time. He lived inside with me and my partner.

His name was Totoro and he had floppy ears.

Miss that little dude.

Interview went well! Hopefully hear if I'm onto the next stage tomorrow. Will also include a practical test, but let's see what happens! Thanks for the good vibes, peeps!!

Really awkward time to wake up feeling fully rested and refreshed.

There's nothing like having a nice relaxing bath with........ an audience and running commentary. I provided the entertainment now they need to make me a cuppa tea.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Audience and running commentary?

What were you doing? A bathtub performance?

Did you at least score 9s?

They owe you a cuppa for sure.

Today, or I guess yesterday, was such a nice day. Not a huge fan of this new day we're doing with cold and rain again, though.

Sitting in an online meeting and we're on our 4th presenter. Every single presenter has made a point of doing an acknowledgement of country. It's beginning to lose it's meaning.

...pakidge.....

Ran out of monthly audiobook hours on spotify half way through listening to Reaper Man (part of an ongoing quest to finally read/listen to all the Terry Pratchett books). But I had a voucher for amazon from a stuffed up delivery so I bought an actual book copy because it's probably my favourite so far.

Is it an RDO in the construction sector today? Not a single ford ranger on the roads.

Rain predicted, plenty of sites will be shut. Cause you know...if one trade can't work, none of the others can either.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Does make for a pretty lonely circle jerk of only the sparkies show up I guess...

Looking up ideas to make a new 3d filament rack...and seeing a lot of clearly "man putting hobby in closet so can hide to please wife"

...so glad I'm the wife. And the resident trashpanda. And we have our own offices that the other person gets zero fucking say on.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I don't know what any of that means but I can tell you if you leave anything on my kitchen (my office) table it will be seriously pointed at until it is removed.

The spelling bee show on abc has the potential to be entertaining, however, the host Guy Montgomery is exceptionally creepy to me. Thereโ€™s something about his voice and mannerisms that gives me uncanny valley murderous vibes. I am probably alone in this but feel better now that itโ€™s off my chest.

I know not of this cold basking in 22C and full sun out in Bestern Australia. 29C tomorrow, then a Melbourne-esque pivot to 19C and rain on Friday before I head home.

I'm not really that keen on going back to work at one of my jobs after this...

Horizon Zero dawn remaster, despite you know only being released and perfectly playable on the ps5. What about the original ratchet and clank trilogy? Infamous 1 or 2? Jack and Daxter remaster? No? How about some stuff that ISNT playable on ps5 instead of a title that absolutely IS playable?!

Turns out I haven't been drinking enough water for the movicol to do its thing.

Apparently 8 sachets in 1 day is a lot lol

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Ummm. Yeah. That is a lot.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Gives me the shits when that happens.

I might have a slow day today, just do stuff slowly and without stress and also try to finish this dinosaur lego thing I have. ๐Ÿ™‚

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Rainy today. Iโ€™m sitting here with the heater one and the sound of traffic and rain on.

Donโ€™t know is this is of any interest to you because it comes from a video game ambit late last night I started a game called Death Stranding and the vibes from the intro sequence which was mostly cinematic reminded me of you and what you might enjoy watching.
