Huge pot of chicken broth on the go. Probably last chance before weather makes this unfeasible, and I need dumplings.

Can't claim sewing course is going well. Nobody is horrid, but I'm highly dubious my result will fit, and can really do without the graphic prego stories!

Opposite result of hoped for really.

Goodbye old house and old life!!! Onto the transitory period before the next big thing... interestingly just yesterday I hear from my cousin in regional Vic that they're seriously considering moving (back) to WA...

E: I also wish to mention that my fingerprints aren't working so well on my phones. Must've been cleaning too hard lol.

I loath going back to an empty place for the final clean. It's an emotional kick especially when you got the place in a worse condition.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 44 minutes ago (1 children)

I can totally see why people just get bond cleaners to do the job. By that stage of the move you're already exhausted and cranky. If you had to leave because you didn't want to it's easy to feel resentful when cleaning. I'm so glad it's over. I never want to think about that place again now

[–] [email protected] 2 points 31 minutes ago

I do too, but I want my own photographs. Not trusting any company cleaner to match to intake ones properly.

Spotify should have a tempo sort button. It'll make editing a playlist easier and quicker. This makes sense to me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 29 minutes ago

Was it really March when we spoke about this?

Not sure if my walk/run/cycle playlists are of any use, but feel free to plagiarise the hell out of them. πŸ˜€

Breezy in the shade but the direct sun's hot as.

Compared to the week ahead it is.

I think this vaccine is knocking me about

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

Well, you are still coherent, so it could be worse!

Hopefully it won't be too long and you will be back to normal.

Oh dear πŸ«‚

i think i am in a long distance situationship and that is exactly right at this point of my life

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

so long as the long distance isn't so long that you cant occasionally get into situational activities with them, sure! Edit: everyone deserves a good activity ever now and then.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 hours ago

We will be in nearby universes that makes activities possible

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I'd like to be one of those people who feels compelled to buy a book every time they go into a book store, but they're like $20 for even a basic paperback. I don't want to drop that much every time I go look at books

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 hours ago

They're free at the library :)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 hours ago

i usually prefer ebooks, cheaper and doesn’t take up space

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Depending on how voracious a reader you are, Kindle Unlimited may be worth investigating. I go through about 4 books a week, so the service ($14/mo) must have saved me about $1,000 by now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 minutes ago

Unfortunately I don't read as much as I'd like, which is part of it. I get my ebooks from 'other' parts of the internet and that's what I went to check.

I'm reading The Crying Lot of 49 and my version has some weird formatting. I wanted to check if it was just an eBook thing or a deliberate stylistic choice. Turns out it was just a weird eBook formatting thing

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

One day I''ll get around to finishing it...one day

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Your only denying yourself. Its amazing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I might just start another play through to be honest. Both times I've played a paladin, but this time might change the class a bit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I was recommended by a mate to switch shaddowheart to a light cleric. Made her SO much more useful if you have her in your party

[–] [email protected] 1 points 56 minutes ago

I have in my party 90% of the time.

Especially boss fights. Usually run her, Gale and Karlach. Might sub Karlach for Jaheira later, and use Astarion for exploration

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I've been playing it a little (I'm only like 2 hours in) and I love it, but just haven't had the brain power for it!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

yeah its certainly not an "any time" game. You really gotta be in the right mood.
