UTC+10, the best zone

On my afternoon off, I took Nanna and a couple of her children for a drive around Nannup, Kirup, and Brazier.

It’s very pretty there at this time of year.

As dv has, seemingly, jumped the gun in launching this month’s new thread, I can only wish all of those Forum members residing in this wide brown land a Happy New (financial) Year!

I am assuming this is the thing that fell on the Chinese village a few days ago.

Turns out static rocket tests aren’t supposed to leave the launch pad.

That’s fine, only poor people lived in the “landing zone”.

The survivors can’t afford law suits anyway.

Moving on, nothing to see here

It has been very dry over that way. Good to see some green.

Good morning Holidayers. Two degrees at the back door and still dark. We are forecast 11 degrees with a shower or two.

I haven’t decided what to do today yet.

Morning it’s 2.7°, heading to 9° with showers.

Dreary Day. I’ll be staying inside doing guitar practice and astronomy reading.

Temperature has dropped to 1 degree and there is a fog rolling in. A decision has been made – I will start on a pantry clean today.

Good decision, we have a slight mist here.

Good morning forum. 3°, max 11°. Minimal activities today bc tomorrow I will outernet: several medical things plus supermarket and liberry. Brekkie muffin is ready to be split and toasted and consumed with pate.

When I moved I organised the Melbourne pantry before I started unpacking the Wod pantry. Now it’s tidier than it’s been for yonks. Threw out some ancient items whose quality was suspect.

Good morning everybody.

14.8° C, 86% RH, overcast and calm. Forecast: 23° C and rain this arvo.

Doctor’s this morning. Mrs V tells me that the wound looks much better.

Public holiday today, so slept in until 6. Read for 2 hours, then emerged to a very foggy day.

I usually go taking photos of puddles, usually in buckets of discarde opal.
Maybe I’ll go look at them after I finish this coffee.

Possibly dates from when those tasks were part ofthe pantry-maid’s duties.

Update on the pantry clean: I’ve cleaned the section of the pantry which has the grog, the nuts, the cocoa and the drinking chocolate in it. Goodness knows how a basically non drinking household acquired two bottle of kirsch, both with only a third quantity in it. All in one bottle now. And I seem to have two bottles of brandy. I must have thought I ran out at some stage and got another one. There is also quite a selection of drinking chocolate, because a friend “donated” some that she had bought (several sorts) that she didn’t like and I said I’d try them. So far, they are fine.

And on to a wash of colanders and strainers. I may be able to discard one of them. But most of them I use, different sizes for different jobs.

I knew everyone would be so jealous.

We are currently experiencing a higher than normal number of calls ….. What a surprise….

my reading, amongst others
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dog_in_the_Manger
“The story and metaphor of The Dog in the Manger derives from an old Greek fable which has been transmitted in several different versions. Interpreted variously over the centuries, the metaphor is now used to speak of one who spitefully prevents others from having something for which one has no use. Although the story was ascribed to Aesop’s Fables in the 15th century, there is no ancient source that does so.
Greek origin
The short form of the fable as cited by Laura Gibbs is: “There was a dog lying in a manger who did not eat the grain, but who nevertheless prevented the horse from being able to eat anything either.” ….”

How’s he settling in? My grandmother said to my mum, a few days after moving into a facility, “I’m lucky to be here.” May your dad also settle well.

Update: I don’t like the look of two cans of food so far, so they will be binned. Everything else still seems sound, except one jar of jam I made a couple of years ago has got a white mould top on the jam. I think that also can become compost.

Dad said the same thing! My sister and I thought he would hate it – but he is very settled. Problem is there is Covid in the facility – so no group activities…..and he got Covid (Friday)- but only mild symptoms of a cough – and he doesn’t remember he has covid either!

That’s great, apart from the whole Covid thing. He’ll love it once activities start again.

I’ve had enough. I’ve cleaned the mantelpiece and the kitchen trolley thingy and I’ve done about 2/3 of the pantry. I need to change the sheets on the bed, so I think the other part of the pantry can wait for another day.

Lunch report: Found a couple of tins of asparagus that are Quite Old. So I’ve opened one and I’m going to have them in a white bread sammich. So very 1960s.

I have the tenth edition (1934) of Now We Are Six, which belonged to my father, which contains the poem ‘Forgiven’, about Alexander Beetle. It has my grandparents’ message to him on his sixth birthday, plus he has written ‘good’ on all the verses he must have particularly liked. ‘Forgiven’ did not earn a ‘good’, surprisingly.
I treasure this battered little book and the other three AA Milne books that were his, as he died at the very early age of 34, when I was 7.
I very much liked ‘Forgiven’. I used to sometimes put beetles into matchboxes. No nanny, so I had to let my own beetles out.

Doing some work out on the back patio and heard a “thud” a few meters away on the lawn. A quick investigation revealed a thick chunk of well-done steak and an obviously agitated whistling kite way up above.

Interesting news.
ut this may be the difference:
Purple-gaped Honeyeaters inhabit the mallee scrubs of far southern Australia from mid-Victoria west to near Albany in W.A. Fairly sedentary, they don’t form flocks but small groups do concentrate at rich sources of food – usually flowering mallees. Adults live together in pairs in permanent territories and no long distance movements are known. As well as nectar they also feed on invertebrates found amongst bark and foliage.Young birds lack the purple gape instead it is yellowish.

Juveniles are similar, but with duller facial patterns, slightly browner plumage, and a yellow gape and gape line. The Kangaroo Island subspecies is considered to be larger and darker than the mainland subspecies.

Erk…fellow from next door just came in for some worms. I had warned him they were in the compost bin with the dog shit (and our food scraps). He was happy to dive in with his hands. Often they are swarming around the top of the bin, but Mr buffy put another bucket of scraps in there a couple of hours ago and they had congregated in that. Separating it with a spade revealed a trove of worms.

It’s not a problem. He wants to try to catch one of the trout in the ponds in the gardens over the road. I’d rather he left them alone for me to watch, but rainbow trout are not native to this area anyway, so in a way he is weeding.

Oh, and I was glad to read that your leg is possibly looking better in your earlier post.

Just one more week and I can have it uncovered. They don’t want to see it again unless something unexpected happens.

Excellent news.

Yes, that bit was. The bitt about th viral middle ear infection, not so much. (I’ve lost balance.)

Yeah dizziness or blacking out isn’t nice
I’ve blacked out a few times, damn lucky I only hurt myself a little bit

CV joint boot split all around, installed May 2022 the CV joints/axles complete, one on right is original removed is quite a bit different, possibly vehicle original, not sure. I’ve pushed it off the step on the shaft, to see if it had a step on the shaft. Anyways little car need at least one axle assembly, might do two yet we’ll see .

It looks like it split before 12 months were up.

Is it an original part or some Chinese copy?

shit boots, and too stretched in normal operation, notice old boots look quite different

anyways whatever, if I wasn’t a lazy shit I would have replaced boot when saw it cracked all around, quite a way back now, I have a set of good proper boots here, not cheap

the CV joint axle assemblies were ~$516 for two, certainly not the cheapest and nastiest

Just writing tomorrow’s to-do list has exhausted me, so I’ve already decided it won’t all get done tomorrow. Two items are not negotiable. Well really one, but if I don’t do the other tomorrow I’ll have to outernet on Wednesday too.

Turning over in bed is not much fun, either – you stop turning, but it feels like your body’s still rolling.

I have BPPV, Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.

BPPV occurs when crystals (called otoconia), normally located in one part of the vestibular (or balance) system of your inner ear (the utricle), become dislodged and collect in another part of the inner ear balance system (one of the semi-circular canals).

As your head moves, the dislodged crystals also move and incorrect messages are sent to your brain and then to your eyes.

The brain receives the messages that the head is moving although the head has only moved position slightly. This will cause symptoms such as an illusion of movement or spinning with common movements or changes in position such as rolling over in bed, getting in or out of bed, or looking or reaching up (for example to the top shelf or to put drops into your eye).

I wonder if I have a bit of BPPV. For quite a few years now I have experienced vertigo on getting out of the surf.. sometimes a very small one. I’m fine in the water but when I stand up in the shallows and walk I move like a drunk. Sit down for 5 minutes and it fixes itself.

Fair Enough but he can still be shown how to attract worms to a spot for collecting at is own back door.

He knows all that. He is not at home. He is working on the house next door, and has been for many months now. The owner of the house is his partner’s aunt.

i’d reckon most attendance here by most is meant to be inconsequential, lot impact ya know, I guess sometimes a person might expect to extract some social status from the attendance, but consider that humorously for a moment, just the possibility a person like the people that participate here are accepted here, what that means, off the bat, your chances of extracting any social status, what it does for your credibility

She wanted her cat back or was going to call the police

I think she heard me talking to the cat but didn’t see me.

It was funny as I was picturing the police turning up and ordering this cat to go home and the cat being a cat would just sit there ignoring them.

What have I done to hurt you?

Roughie, it’s nothing to do with hurt. I find you go a little bit click happy, but your posts are generally innocuous.
Wookie’s posts on the other hand do cause annoyance as he has gone down the propaganda rabbit hole. Easy to do by the number of previously sensible people I know who now want to tell the world about their special knowledge of how the world really works. That having been said, I do love people with knowledge who are enthusiastic about sharing what they know.

It went to her when she called it and she threw it what seemed to be a sliced of polony
It was back this morning as I fed it before I went to work.
I’m not going to keep it or steal it, I will feed it though as it was quite underweight when it turned up

Has anyone seen any water rats of late?

I recall often seeing them where I lived when young but I stopped seeing them after about 1970. Before that, the main irrigation canal had wild spots along it. Water rats were plentiful.
Particularly where there was no concrete and no weedicide use on canal banks.

This has all changed and I’ve not seen a water rat since the late sixties.

If people could just stop saying “ammune” instead of “immune” I might be happy.

You might have to move to Australia for that.

Move to Australia to hear people talking more correctly?

Surely you jest, old chap.

You should all listen to the Pete, Dud and Pete sketch posted earlier so you can learn how to speak the lingo correctly, like what I do.

Yep. But my IBS can be even worse than bowel prep so it doesn’t really bother me – at least with bowel prep I know what’s caused it.

Do metamucil or psyllium husks help at all?

It’s Winter here…we presently have 7 degrees at the back door. Feels cold.

Psyllium twice a day helps, but not completely. Tried low FODMAP diet too, but apart from lactose (which has been a problem since 2007) it didn’t make a difference. As of my last scope two years ago there was nothing sinister. These are being done for the nausea and some unintentional weight loss.

Ancient artefacts suggest Australian ritual endured for 12,000 years

Wooden sticks found in an Australian cave appear to match the accounts of a 19th-century anthropologist, suggesting the GurnaiKurnai people practised the same ritual at the end of the last glacial period

Gosh!

How amazing.

Thanks.

Dudes at work switched on something they should not have switched on. Likely no damage, but a direct 33kV short circuit to ground is not something you want to do too often. If you noticed the lights flicker this afternoon, now you know why.

Time to stop shredding records and go to archery. Back later.

Heck!

My angiogram will be first thing next Monday morning, LGH. Have to be there at 7:30am and I’ll be the first patient of the day.

Luckily a local community car will be able to take me in, but I don’t know what’ll happen afterwards. It sounds as though they might not let me go home until the next day, because they usually only discharge the same day if the patient has someone to stay with them overnight (which I don’t), due to a small risk of arterial bleeding.

Community transport lady will be visiting me tomorrow morning to go through the paperwork.

At the redoubt and it is raining and cold, been raining all day.
Over.

Also waiting on a urologist. (High PSA.)

Ta. As the cardiologist assures me, if I do have a stroke or heart attack during the procedure, I’ll be in the right place for it :)

do they put you on a rack and stretch you until you break?

I walks over dam while chips cooks, getting very colder cold fast quickly not comfortable homeostatically challenging, fortunately indoors I have a dephlogisticater removing the phlogiston from the carbonaceous burnable combustibles to create some local heat and offset the entropy, you could I suppose think of it as a negentropic device, i’m not sure how useful that would be given burning the materials is probably entropic, but won’t discourage you the generic unspecific reader from contemplating the contemplatable, anyways the local heat maintains an energy gradient, I sort of stay away from the maximum gradient, the boundary, more I stay toward the inside nearer the heat source, and I reckon this paragraph is getting quite long, has plenty commas so might try a full stop soonish, had me a little typing practice, keep the digits limbered up you know, so how about that full stop I mentioned earlier as I hear the gravy being stirred, yeah seems an ideal time.

Their was a terrible joke in there.

Too many medical procedures in our near futures. May they all be reported as unremarkable.

Meanwhile, kabana, smoked cheddar, pickled onions and olives for nursery tea.

I’ll be doing a hot vegetarian curry but with quinoa instead of rice.

Coles delivery on Thursday which will include the ingredients for a big vat of beetroot & tater borscht with smoked hock, which I’ll slow-cook and divide into sensible portions.
