    Let the joy be unbridled! My neighbour’s windchimes have FINALLY broken through their string and have fallen! And said neighbours are away for the next week so I’ll have at least a week of blessed silence. Happy happy happy!

    Puppy dog eyes won out and we went for a walk. It was as cold and windy as expected, but fortunately we managed to avoid being rained on. Miss Meow now has me pinned down on the couch to make sure I don’t try to leave again.

    Off to buy a shitload of aerogard from the chemist lol. CW seems reasonable price-wise.

    Was reassuring to find this today. Seems like they do the multi DOOOM approach too, so I’m not going completely mad. Their language does appear a bit defeatist though heh. No mention of weed burners :( .

    Checkout person will think I have a massive unhealthy phobia of insects.

    Sleep has been acquired and My Hello Fresh box is inside. Mr Woof thinks that means it’s walk time, but the weather is miserable out there. Cold, windy and likely rain coming. I am not feeling enthused.

    Chill day today. Haircut, wander around for a while and grab a fitness tracker maybe grab a pair of hightops or a pair of dickies.

    Then it’s guitar and singing all day.

    Perfect Saturday.

    Edit: success! Cheap fitness tracker and an awesome large black hoodie with a massive hood. Taken me ages to find one.

    Currently in the middle of a power outage. I didn’t manage to get the heaters on for long enough to warm up the place.

    Hoping the sun can warm the place up a little.

    Lucky I charged all my stuff for last week but not knowing this was going to happen has screwed me up.

    Oh well washing for tomorrow instead.

    Now to get make some food. Thank god I still have a gas stove.

    I’ve caught some virus, feeling crappy this morning. Couldn’t sleep more than a couple hours in a row last night. Had a birthday party to go to tonight which I was looking forward to, think I’ll have to cancel 😞 If there’s a bright side to being sick on the weekend, I’ve got a lot of TV to catch up on so going to do some binge watching.

    I’m pretty proud of our local train youtubers here in Melbourne. I was able to find a bunch of original content on the train derailment at Clifton Hill. I found videos on the derailment, freight trains coming to take the train apart, and the derailed carriage being lifted off the track by a crane.

    And we don’t even have the most comprehensive public transport network. I wonder what the train youtubers in other cities are like?

      We went for a train ride down to Reservoir and saw one of the yellow SSR freight trains from the video.

      It kind of feels like meeting a local celebrity

    Grocery run, chores and other productive things all done by 11am. Definitely need a nap before dinner out tonight! This wind is putting me on edge though.

    Since I bought my ipad pro I’ve been leaning towards going back to iOS for a phone

    Fuck they’re ridiculously expensive. I would be buying outright this time and yeah, holy fuck I’m not paying almost 2k for a phone.

      I bought my iPhone outright but I wait for a deal (ozbargain is a great resource) and I have my phone for 3 - 4 years before I upgrade. I use it all the time. It’s worth the splurge for Apple for me. But I agree with pricing, everytime I upgrade the outright price has gone up a fair bit.

        I’ve had my Samsung almost 4 years so I hear you about keeping a phone for a while.

        IPhones seem to hold their value a hell of a lot more than Samsung’s do.

        I’ll check out ozbargain, thanks for the heads up :)

      yeah I just wait until my sister upgrades her phone plan and gives me her old one XD.

      Last phone I bought was literally a nokia 3310. It’s a phone. I don’t care. I get everyone’s hand me downs.

      Phone prices have been getting ridiculous in the last couple of years. I’m almost swinging the other way and I think I’ll get a mid-tier Chinese phone next

        You can usually pick up last year’s model for a major discount and it’s often not much different to the current model.
