Melbourne

Gorram it, fake nails lasted until I tried to open my beer can. Bad, sad, and mad.

It's a sign from the Universe that I refuse to acknowledge. pfft

Have a friend going to Olinda tomorrow, might suddenly become ill and go with. Had an incident at work when I started earlier this arvo and it's extremely soured my already diminishing taste for the place.

have decided to take tomorrow off and go somewhere for the weekend. excluding Daylesford (its lovely but I go there all the time), where's a nice regional town for me to visit this weekend?

edit: someone mentioned wandi in a different thread, strong contender

Someone just found and liked a Facebook post I made in 2017. Things really do hang around on the internet!

After much procrastination I took the first step in my plan to make instructional videos by doing a short video of how to darn a sock. I really don't sound like I think I do when recorded, it is very odd. I also put some apps on my phone to filter for colour blindness visibility, it was a bit tricky to find colour combinations that would work well and provide good contrast for different types of colour blindness.

I think I've got the basics down about how to use the editing software, but managed to delete a section in the middle (fortunately not an important bit). I also need to work on keeping what I am doing centred when filming, I kept moving my work into the wrong spot.

Overall, lots of areas to improve on but I'm fairly happy with it for a first effort.

Dimmies. Piles of steamed dimmies. Great night for it

Woke up from a nap, now when am I?

Tax return came though. It’s a juicy one this year!

I'm going home to make fish and chips

It looks wimdy but yesterday was so warm I overheated in a long sleeve top and jacket. 🤷‍♀️

Bleh

wind’s howling

Pondering buying an old car in case I have to drive into the city - can’t park a large car to save myself. How many km is too many ? Looking at $5k or less. No Uber or taxi where I live. Was $145 to book a private car to get into the cbd a few weeks ago. (Was emergency medical)

Day 19 of exercise program completed minus the jumping jacks and the mountain climbers due to mysteriously injured foot. Day 4 of tummy exercises also completed. Pain spray liberally applied. Ibuprofen taken. Let's get this bread!

My left rear car tyre has a slow leak and I just can't right now. I pumped it up last night, it was down to like 14psi.. I'd pumped it up 3 weeks ago and it was down to about 17psi then. Just.. urgh.

I actually slept a full 8 hours last night, no wake ups. One day in the office and it kills me haha.

Run to the shops for bread and coffee accomplished. I am prepared to satiate and caffeinate tomorrow morn.

🍞😘👌☕

edit: who am I kidding, I am totally having some bread now lol

I have now spent way too long learning to do captions for YouTube videos. Then I discovered that the default position for them blocks the video of what I am doing. After much investigation I have discovered that you can drag the subtitles where you want them when you watch, unless you are using the app. Which of coarse automatically opens when you watch a video. I have now disabled the app, as I apparently can't delete it, and now videos are opening in the browser. It is frustrating how many companies put out apps with extremely limited features and then push everything to open in them. If I wanted to use the blasted app I wouldn't be in my browser.
