The second round of Weather has coincided with the thankful resolution of 2 hours of panicking over losing my phone and retracing my steps a billion times.

Fittingly, it turns out my phone was lodged in my umbrella... I must've dropped it in there when I left it loosely open and upside down while going to the bathroom or something.

that was a very stressful 2 hours though fuck me.

Power came on and it was a shame in a way because we were having a discussion about the internet: which would you rather, shitty internet or none at all?

A big thank you to @[email protected] for hooking me up with an optiplex. It started without a problem and I've got it running how I want it to now.

Time to check out some of the selfhosting communities and see what I can do with this thing

I had roast pork for dinner and it was amazing. There is just something special about a good roast.

Movie Review. Man with the Golden Gun. 1974 Bond Movie.

So boring I feel insulted. Not even Saruman could save this movie.

Sometimes the only reason to pay some attention to these movies is to see what was the fad at the time, in that movie it was king fu, and the gadgets, which at that time would have been really whiz bang and ahead of their time.

lol, in Live and Let Die 1973, bond had a digital watch, it had a red LED display , a few years before the general public had even heard of digital watches

The Hamilton Pulsar P2 2900. Very cool watch but also unusual, in that, Bond traditionally wears Omega or Rolex.

5 hours on PT today to see a doctor.

I'm getting myself a cheap car in a few months if everything goes well. Been so fucking long since I've driven. Might need some lessons I think.

Another protest in the city.

But the one thing that caught my eye is the number of Toyota Klugers in the police fleet lined up on the street. And then there's us having to wait months maybe years for a delivery lol.

Market shop great success. I have veg for the week, salami, meat for the week, raspberry tea (love you Polish Shop), dumplings, tortellini and fresh library books.

The guy who runs the Wesh van must really like me. He gave me free mint tea with my lunch

Never realised that Platinum Qantas get shown different flight and pricing options. Was tentatively considering travelling end of yearโ€”which I used toโ€”but have avoided like the plague for donkeys. The difference displayed in pricing was 2:1.

I shouldnโ€™t be surprised. I get better treatment on a lower tier by partner airlines internationally compared to flying domestically at home and Qantas planes wouldnโ€™t know what a deep clean was if it hit them on the head.

You know what...if I could choose my job again I would be a Minecraft streamer. It relaxes me so much, and I actually find it useful as a mindfulness exercise.

Check out Waxfraud onYouTube for some extreme background chill.
