    Rebuilding a gate atm. Lotsa little arguments w/ ol’ boy on how to do it. He’s the type where every idea is bad unless it’s his.

    Anyway we run into a problem where it needs propping up at the hinge. Not wanting another bs argument I stand back and watch, waiting. 20 mins go by nothing was working.

    My old black lab had a kong that’s been outside for probably 20+ years and still in good shape.

    So when he turned his back, I chuck the kong under the gate. Perfect height, perfect swivel of the gate. Kong is the same colour as the house looks like it’s always been there. Sturdy af.

    He goes back to the gate to try something else… sees the kong, tries the gate, tries it again, looks at the ground and walks away without saying anything.

    3 days later the kong is still there lol.

    Felt good.

    Never underestimate the kong.

      I can’t understand that, ideas and decisions are exhausting

      I’m always looking to other people for ideas, inspiration and sharing responsibility

      I hate people that act like that almost as much as I love gloating over them when I’m proven right.

      And of course remind them regularly.

      I’ve gotta rebuild half of my front gate. I don’t like digging the pits for the posts. I wonder if I can get someone with a post holer to swing by and drill out two big holes?

    I’m playing Bride and Prejudice and trying to teach Bill Cat to dance.

    He is having none of it.

    How can he be a decent cat and marry Pyaari if he doesn’t know how to dance.

        I’ve fallen into a Pyaari hole. I can’t decide if she is really that sweet and docile, or is plotting to leave a deposit in someone’s shoe.

      Same - I put it down to the amount of travelling I’ve been doing and the vague upset tummy I had a couple weeks ago. Loaded up today on vitamin D, iron - the two things I get low on first - and ginko which seems to help with post viral shenanigans 💪 . But I suspect its just spring blues. I need Christmas holidays

        When I was looking after elderly gran, my American aunt stated that I probably don’t want to be wasting my life looking after elderly relatives. I thought and replied along the lines of “isn’t looking after relatives one of the main points of life”. But somehow my dad and his siblings having grown up in the States are some of the more selfish got-mine people I’ve ever met.

          “happiness and feeling good is a right, anything that is a downer or difficult impinges on that right and can be called a pathology”

          it was a movement started in the 60s, I am not making it up!

        That’s totally wrong. Nah just joking. As long as it gets on the doona who cares.

        I prefer the starfish way. Grab the doona ends, get inside the cover, find the top corners, flop onto the bed, find the bottom corners with my toes, slither back out, do up the buttons. Adjust.

          I lay the cover flat on the bed, find the top corners w/ the doona, hold each corner w/ each hand, stand on the bed and shake vertically over the edge until the doona drops down.
