    At the p’s clearing out their rain tank filters from on top about 2.5m up.

    Reminded me when I was a teen scaling them (wasted) at night without a ladder full ninja to sneak in when I forgot my keys as the laundry window which was never locked is directly above one. Used to get in so much shit for doing that.

    Now it’s sanctioned, with a ladder, sober and far less exciting.

      Twice I’ve locked myself out of my house. Had to take the glass slats out of the toilet window, scale up the down pipe, perch on the window sill and decide whether I wanted to take a giant leap missing the toilet or risk sliding off the lid and slamming into the closed door. We now have a spare key hidden in the yard.

        In those instances it’s better to see if you can hold on to the ledge and scale or drop down instead of jumping or making a leap.

        It would significantly reduce the height from which you come down if you did that or had room to do that.

        Learnt this from if we ever had to escape a fire from out of a window.

          I really wish they’d let us have spare keys. So far I haven’t locked myself out when nobody’s home, but if I do I’m probably fucked. I would just take the keys to Bunnings and get a spare one cut and hide in myself, but they’re those stupid security ones no locksmith will duplicate. I guess that’s good since they don’t change the locks when people move out, but it’s also a PITA because they refuse to authorise a spare key

          They gave some half arsed excuse about how people could break in by smashing a lockbox with a brick or a rock. They don’t seem to realise that windows can also be broken with bricks and rocks

      I remember being accidentally locked out as a kid, and having no trouble breaking in through the aluminium-framed bathroom window. Bit of a worry in hindsight, and lucky there weren’t more crims around at the time.

    How is it fair that I eat healthy for a week and feel like utter shit? Tempted to buy a cheesy crust pepperoni pizza from dominos…

    Also another 35 applications done today.

      Oh no, hopefully that’s not discouraging. Maybe there’s an adjustment period? Sugar withdrawal? (is that a thing?). I know that guts can go through some adjustment if diet changes to include more veg and fibre, but it will settle down fairly quickly. It’s just a bit of a shock to the microbiome.

        Definitely going to stick to it. The positive mental health impacts have been unbelievable. Once the physical subsides, all will be well hopefully

      Just reminded me, many years ago (around 2010 maybe), I ordered a pizza from dominos. It was awful, tasted weird and tangy.

      A few years afterwards, I swear I saw a TV ad for dominos saying “now with real cheese”. Turns out they were using cream cheese or something beforehand. Never ordered from them again lol.

      Not saying they’re bad now ofc lol

        I bought one last week as a sort of “last hurrah”. Not gonna lie, I inhaled it in one go lol.

        I read something that said the longer you e been eating like crap, the longer it takes to start feeling better.

        I haven’t been eating well since lockdown…

          my good diet motivation kinda got crushed when miss seagoon said I wasn’t eating well

          i was doing calorie reduction, she’s more into “health food”

          I should get back into it, set up my food cupboard with good food, get out of the habit of snacking

            I do the whole gaining and cutting thing during the year. Hardest part for me was making meals that I would eat even when I wasn’t trying to eat healthy.

            It’s such a change.

            It’s good healthy cheap food that has good shelf and fridge stability. It’s an excellent choice for people with not much money to spend. It’s also very high in protein. iow, it’s good food.

            I used to buy processed pepper jack cheese to make nachos, it was so yummy and melted very well. I grew up on kraft too. Walnut cheese from Germany is also processed.

    I think every movie with Tom Cruise could be improved by replacing Tom Cruise.

    I just watched Edge of Tomorrow. Sort of a bug movie and a computer game . Good movie that made me dislike Tom Cruise even more. What a waste, some other actor could have made that better.

    3.5 hobbits but minus .5 for Tom Cruise.

      Cocktail & Top Gun got into my brain before I could properly see the problems with them or him. Don’t think I’ve liked him since. Creepy midget 😝

        I haven’t watched either.

        I used to enjoy his movies, but then he just became a bigger and bigger arsehole irl,

        and I also started to see how he often just wasn’t good

        one positive thing is that he’s a very conscientious and hard worker

        I grant he was good in Tropic Thunder, I think he was playing himself

      I don’t mind him in action stuff like the Mission Impossibles or Top Gun. Not every movie has to be intellectual or every actor be Oscar worthy. Some movies I watch for easy fun, others I watch for more depth. Tom Cruise is in the first category.

      Having read the books, Cruise was a terrible choice for Jack Reacher. I think he’s a twat of a man and a passionate actor suited to action, but he’s no Jack Reacher.

    It may still be 18 in my room, but I’m still going to sleep in a hoodie under 2 blankets with thick socks

    18 outside = fine unless there’s wind, 18 inside = I think I’m going to freeze

    As much as I really want to live in Europe, I’m not sure I’d exist past the first week of autumn there

      This reminded me of the first place I lived when I get sober. The walls had a giant crack, so I had to wear all of my clothes and had a blanket but was still shivering so bad I couldn’t sleep.

      Good times, good times.

        Lol that’s a good point. It’s honestly a bit of a miracle my room was even 18 when it was 12 outside. My bathroom was most certainly not though, that was definitely 12…

    Oof. Walking to find ginger ninja cut into my physical energy so badly I crashed and woke up at 11pm, extremely dehydrated and late with Melbcat’s supper and meds. It might be that I can’t afford the energy and just don’t have the capacity to keep pursuing a cat I might not be able to catch. And I don’t have the comfort level to engage with rescue groups. Currently it’s really difficult to even care for my own pet and myself.

    There’s also online friend group drama which I didn’t cause and am not involved in but am still affected by. -_-

      Sounds like lots of signs to pull back and take care of yourself and melbcat. Rebuild yourself and let the universe find another way to care for orange cat and the conflict take care of itself. Hope you can get some good rest and cat cuddles

        Thanks, the signs have been there for a while (and there’s bigger shit I don’t post) but like a numbskull I keep pushing.

        I’m hoping orange cat gets picked up by someone else or recovers. I’d help if I was able but those orange buns are elusive.

      I’ve been on the hunt for a good regular spot to buy books from. Robinsons is a no go since the owner came out as crazy, and Booktopia can be a nightmare to navigate if you have a couple of privacy extensions and open more than one tab

        mine was having a boss of a workplace accuse me of something that I not only hadn’t done, it was literally impossible for me to do, and maneuvering to fire me from a workplace I haven’t worked at since 2019.

        So where the fuck is the sense of guilt coming from
