    Photo of hams on our last ball throwing today:

    This was just after the last ball throw and he just gave up and stood there. Such a doofus I love him.

    Today’s the kind of day where I’d like to be buried in and trapped by a multitude of soft, purring cats

    Oh no, The Other Site has finally forced the new design on mobile browser and it now has that dreaded infinite scroll on main pages. I hate that so very much. Antisocial design.

    Aww yuusss Christmas came fucking early my friends.

    Clearing out a back corner i notice hey, there’s a path under here. Well i gotta clear it for the eventual pool hall anyway, and i’m on the hunt for concrete chunks to crazy pave the bbq area, so let’s do this, biiiitch.

    The ‘path’ is a bunch of gravel loosely held together by kykuyu-riddled cement that’s four grains off mortar and gone to utter shit. Levers up in segments that explode into 50-7mm chunks as soon as you drop 'em.

    Well i gots me a retaining wall that i need to finish filling behind with aggregate and all this removal has left me a lovely fat hole that’s perfect for a bunch of clay-heavy excavation i’m running out of storage tubs for (soil goes into The Heap). Perfect to stuff that shit into with a bunch of gypsum and compost and by the time we dig it back out for the cement slab it’ll be delicious soil for my garden beds.

    And i even got some decent chunks for my paving out of it.

    W00t fuckin w00t.

    I love changing single bed fitted sheet.
    Back home bed was 5 feet up and a pain to change.
    And then I had been sleeping in Queen bed and it was a pain to change.
    Then I used queen sheets on single bed and it was a bit annoying.

    Now for the first time I have a single fitted sheet on a single bed that is knee level not eye level.
    I love changing my bed sheet.

    I mourn for my younger self that I only discovered how good oat clusters & yoghurt is in my late 30s. It’s way better than any of the kids milky cereals.

    Just ordered a dashcam for the car. I promised myself I would, so I have. I have this affliction where I have to buy the best of the best when it comes to things like this when in reality the 2nd or 3rd best would absolutely do what I need, so I end up overspending. The worst part is knowing that I’m doing it but not being able to stop myself. $500 gone and I’ll still need to pay someone to professionally do the hardwire installation. Just need to keep telling myself it’s a good investment even though I’ve successfully driven for 25 years without needing one.

    Also my friend has rainchecked today/tonight. It’s real nice outside so I feel like I should probably go out and get some sun… but… Spider-Man 2…

    I was singing along to Wake Me Up When September Ends
    “Twenty years has gone so fast”
    The song turns 20 next year.
