    Can I just have a fucking break? I put a cat down three weeks ago, and now a dog has fucking cancer?

    Can I just get a month where nothing fucking goes wrong?

      My cousin used to sell those fire-fighter calendars. Before he met his girlfriend online, she had actually gone up to him when selling the calendars and asked if he was a fireman. Invisible string theory.

      You need to let it out sometimes. It’s better than bottling it all in.

      It can really help knowing you were able to speak and talk about it even if nothing changes.

      The sun is beautiful outside. Maybe take 5 mins to go outside and soak it up a little.

      Hope you’re feeling better soon.

    I’ve just caught up on the Australian breakdancer. It’s so very bad. The sprinkler and the play school kangaroo hop moves were great, but the sprayed roach was glorious. I watched on repeat laughing. 5 stars.

    On my street, the massed chorus of lawnmowers, whippersnippers and blowers has just started up. Right now it’s fairly minor, but I predict it will reach a crescendo later on today.

    Something just clicked for me with this “raygun” contraversy: Its the outfit. I mean the dancing is… whatever look I’m not one to judge anyones dancing I still cant figure out “Big Fish Little Fish Cardboard Box”. But the green and gold getup is OK for a a cricketer or something, but just embarassing for a dancing routine!

      Someone mentioned that to me as well, really did look like a part of the cricket team.

      It was interesting to say the least but I don’t think it was up to the same standard as her opponents.

      Did anyone actually watch the whole event? She had both the Gold and Silver medalists among her first battles. She frankly never stood a chance.

      Not that I could really get through the event, a lot of it was too weird for me, I kept skipping through the routines. She was by no means the only weird one. But yes, turning up in uniform was a bad choice. A few of the girls had “street” versions of their uniforms, but Raygun was the only one who turned up lime she was at the opening ceremony.

      My favourite bits were the sign language the girls employed and the sassy things they were saying. The US dancer signed that the neat moves the Chinese dancer did were choreographed and not freestyle. The Chinese straight-up said ‘that was shit’ to something the US girl did.

      Nobody said anything about the Aussie girl’s stuff. Maybe it was genuinely too weird to even comment on? Maybe the girls she was facing knew they were in another class and didn’t feel the need to comment?

      As a sport, I don’t know that it’s my thing. But there are plenty of traditional sports like dressage and fencing that aren’t my thing either.

      The Chinese girl was great - I actually agree that she had pre-programmed moves, but those moves were quite good. The Japanese girl (Ami) who won it was a little battery of joy and energy. I’m very glad she won gold. She was the favourite in our house.

    *shitty mood COVID rant

    Still no smell or taste. Busied myself with laundry and mopping to try and stop being angry. Can’t go out in the backyard for too long because MIL had a dude over to cut down the bottlebrush tree and rip half the garden out. She hasn’t got a plan really, just felt like replacing half the garden beds with more bloody lawn 🤦🏼‍♀️. It wasn’t necessary and looks shithouse, just like the barren wasteland of a front garden I try not to look at. Still strongly positive test, looks like I’m out of work until at least Wednesday. As a casual worker this isn’t good.

      I generally despise lawn. It’s boring, water hungry, and itchy. Use clover or chamomile or something instead.

        I’d love to do something like that out front. Eliminate lawn altogether, it’s boring and redundant in terms of our particular household. Nobody plays on the front lawn, it’s just useless. Out the back I’d have food production for humans and native birds as my priority. And as little lawn as possible, preferably none! I have to admit, the back lawn is about 60+ years old and has been well looked after (bout the only thing that has lol) and it is pleasant to walk on, but for the amount of time anyone spends actually doing that it’d be better off as something else.

    Oh no. While constructing my mega mousse I think the chocolate cooled down too much and it looks spotty. It tastes delicious though. Ah well. You live and learn and laugh.

      I’ve always read JSON as Jason in my head. Now that I found out what it stands for, it could still be JaSON.

    People in Carlton shouldn’t be allowed to wear black if they insist on jaywalking.

      Bane of my life is cyclists in tarmac colored clothing. You’d think they WANT to end up in the ER.

        If I was riding at night I’d wanna be lit up like a Christmas tree.

          Oh I am. Hi-vis vest, lights fore and aft, and gold sparkly duct tape on my bike carrier and wheel rims. And hi-vis gloves for signalling. Just wish more people did likewise. Worst I ever saw was a young woman with her BABY in her bike carrier - black/charcoal grey clothing, no lights, no helmet and wobbling down the centre line of the road and not stopping at stop signs or signalling. And wearing a long long scarf that was easily long enough to get caught in the wheels, Isadora Duncan style. I’m cool with her decision to risk her life, but her BABY??? Not cool.

        and without even any lights on?! Suicidal… I wish I could say I’ve never seen any but they’re really not uncommon.

        That is very true. I can’t understand why people would stop in the middle of a two lane road that’s poorly lit wearing dark clothing. It’s rampant here.
