Help yourself to a free coffee ☕ ☕ ☕ ☕ ☕
Walk out the front door to start walking to the train station to see two huge purple flashes of lightning on the horizon. Yeaaaaaahhh might wanna haul ass to the station!
Free coffee? Don’t mind if I do!
🍩 have this to go with it
I am proceeding on foot, call in a code 8!
We need pretzels, repeat, pretzels.
🥨🥨
I woke up to no power and had to get ready for Mr Woof’s morning walk by phonelight. It turned out to be just me, something caused the main switch to flick off and I now have power back on.
Up all night playing Surviving Mars. Don’t mind me, I’m just colonising mars in the far future 🌌
Fricken love that game. One of the best epic store free games I ever got.
Meteors keep crashing into my pipes at choke-points… Not sure if random or “random”
[Insert suss Fry meme]
I actually bought that a few weeks ago, but I wasn’t a fan of it
Spiders
A baby huntsman moved in last night. Nice, I want him to eat the bugs. I also hope this one has the commonsense to stay out of range of Melbcat’s punches. (Nothing bad happened to the last one. He was just a dumbarse who had to be evicted for his own safety.)
Thank you for the spoiler warning here 💛
No worries, I generally try to give a warning for anything touchy like that
that’s some pretty big rain
Second night of constant droning noise. No idea what it could be, but it’s loud enough to be heard over the rain.
I can hear it too. They’re preparing the Sun for daylight savings ending next week - won’t be much longer
Blarg. Very little sleep thanks to hole in the gutter making incessant drum noises. Really sick of this house.

Careful saying something is free, the coffee’s gonna get OzBargain’d
Have a few regrets not cleaning one of the gutters before last night. Not a happy downpipe.
If there’s one thing that comes up in convos seemingly every time about problems with a house, it’s water.
It giveth life, it taketh time and cash monies.
Watching the guy from Site Inspections it’s nearly always water damage. When it’s not structurally unsound frames or fake Hebel.
The old homes from the 60s and 70s are looking better and better.
There was someone playing a song from Interstellar on the piano just now in Melbourne Central. It was beautiful! I was totally entranced, stopped my youtube, stopped eating, just sitting there totally caught up in it. I didn’t get to see them before they disappeared, wish I could’ve said thankyou.
Nice change from the guy with the Chinese ‘violin’ who seems to know 2 songs
Downpipes cleared!
So some lessons learnt over the years…
- Fuck leaves and debris in gutters and putting it off
- Fuck too much water
- Right angles in downpipes can get fucked
- Use your ears to
seehear if you’ve unfucked it - Having no plumbing plan is bad and fucked. Write it down, all of it.
:)
Before anyone blames trees for existing I’d like to suggest a gutter guard to help keep leaf debris from clogging up the gutters themselves and any downpipes.
Wise words friend, our overflowing gutters kept waking us up during last night. Looks like one of them has rusted through as well.
I hate that so much. If you’re unlucky it could flood your ceiling/eaves. In the end those bristle things were installed in the gutter to keep leaves out
I just want to give a quick shoutout to the unsung heroes of Easter: Thumbnails. As in the fingernails on your thumbs. Is there any other time of the year when it’s more important to have a good thumbnail?
If you’re unsure what I’m banging on about… check out my half-price post-Easter haul for reference:
Damn you got some premiums eggs in there. Score
Historically, my magic price-point has been $1/100g. I had a quick look at the easter stock this morning, nothing is below $2/100g. I guess I’m just not that desperate.
