    Well I have a problem.

    Had a new pump in the sump installed recently to feed the tanks and it is not turning off when emptied. I believe the float valve is giving incorrect instruction!

    I am not a plumber so I will shake the things and give it a kick and with any luck…

      There could be some shit in the float valve. Look for a part number and search youtube for service tips?

      last time my toilet was acting up i removed its helmet, gave it an angry stare, starved it of water and made it work an extra order. It said sorry won’t do that again

    It’s still not quite pumpkin soup season yet but the pumpkin can’t wait so I’m gonna have to make it today. Maybe. No promises.

    Woke up at 6 today because my body still thinks it’s 7 am. Laid about for two hours hoping I’ll fall back to sleep. Not happening.

    Meanwhile I see the weather is the usual Melbourne perma-grey. Thank God I’m going to Vietnam for a couple of weeks soon to somewhat extend my summer.

    I bemoan chicken and vegetables, but holy fuck do I feel good today.

    Like a different person.

    Energetic, focused, motivated.

    Crazy shit.

    Edit: Noticeable performance increase at the gym as well.

    Movie Review.

    This is my 3rd movie about tv weather guys. Ground Hog Day, The Weatherman and today’s movie, All Hail.

    All Hail, from some of the team who brought you The Revenant and Bardo.

    This movie has the same feel as Bardo. I admit I love this kind of cinematography/direction, it uses familiar ways to set the scene, it’s feels up close and personal looking at actors without making you feel uncomfortable, it all feels natural and it’s so easy to let the story happen. Every actor is perfectly cast. Every set and location is just right, every camera angle .

    It makes everyday life and our world look so beautiful .

    Seems to me this team loves to use the elements to tell a story, fire, ice, water, air, earth. There is always an interaction between people and the elements that is part of the story.

    It’s the story of a very well educated tv meteorologist who starts to believe the hype of his own forecasting record. It’s about pride. Not as bad as Bill Murray who brought a curse down upon himself by saying “I make the weather”. This guy, Miguel, brings a mild curse by saying “I guarantee it”.

    So he fails, is condemned and he must find redemption and grace by getting back in touch with real people and his family, not just users and stans, and getting back in touch with nature.

    I had to look up who Professor Neurus was. 🤔

    4.5 hobbits. So easy to watch, that’s why I think watching twice would be a good idea.

    Useful shopping this weekend for some winter clothes which needed replacing. 2 hoodies and a pair of track pants. Looking forward to coziness. Although it’s annoying that things just don’t last like they used to, quality is so much lower than it used to be.

    TIL that little flappy bird thing that seems to be everywhere is called Pam

    I’m not clicking because like, it’s the Harold scum, I’m not a boomer. But I’ve been wondering what the go is behind it

      Cool. I love Pam. The little birds make me happy as I go into work on the train and I was looking at the long chain near southern cross on the weekend

        I don’t really mind the ones that are painted on blank surfaces like on the backside of the freeway signs and near socro, but I do mind the ones painted directly on the trains. There’s a few posts on his insta where he’s tagged up an entire train with massive birds covering the windows, which forces trains to be pulled out of service and cleaned. He’s even done a few directly onto the drivers cab windscreens, which forces the train to be taken out of service wherever it’s noticed

      No idea, I haven’t seen one (at least that I took notice of) BUT, does that man have a dog or a goat with him? I mean dog makes sense, but it really looks like a goat.

    I was thinking: maybe I could be one of those people who goes around to schools and talks to the students about the realities of drug addiction.

    Maybe.

      Lol I used to have this am pm shift happening when I did rotating day/night shift. I’d wake up in a darkened room with an analogue clock and no idea whether it was say 2am or 2pm. Very disorientating!
