    Big afternoon of washing up outside - washed the car, windows and my very dirty undercover area and outdoor furniture. Now I can actually sit outside and enjoy a beer 🍺

    Next task is hanging up some fairy lights in my undercover area, it’s a decent size so thinking about best way to go about it. And how many lights I’ll need.

    Had a mate over that I’ve known since high school. We came up together in bands and music in general.

    Fuck it’s good to catch up with him :)

    Went to [redacted cafe] for a cocktail and they had a staff member dressed like a nazi, red swastika arm band and all. I raised issue and I think they hid until we left.

      What the hell… I fail to understand the thought process. Even if it was due to Halloween they should know that’s a no go

        It looked pretty home made. It was a younger person and kinda petite so I tried to politely tell them they shouldn’t be wearing that. I was also concerned that if they’re just an idiot, someone more punk rock than me might hit them with a brick. I just finished up and left.

      maybe the costumes of past Halloweens were just as terrifying and offensive to the people then, us now, we just don’t believe in the devil or ghosts anymore

      iow, it’s meant to be offensive scary , not something we are meant to agree with

      but we live now and people don’t understand halloween anymore, so it’s definitely inappropriate

        You’re absolutely right about the costumes. It’s one of the reasons I have an issue with the whole trick or treat thing. The watering down of something serious and important into flimsy plastic costumes and candy.

        If interested, you might want to read up on the Mari Llwd - thoroughly pagan, intended to terrify, and also intended to remind the power-holders that the great unwashed also held power over them and the means of production. Even if that power was confined to just one day a year. Christianity turned the Mari Llwd into hobby horses and rocking horses, yet the folksong Widdicombe Fair still reminds us of some of it’s original power and might.

      I played the recent server slam beta and the sound design is great. I solo’d everything though so once I got downed that was it. It would be great with a squad or if they added the ability to self revive

    Miniest has been saving her money for rollerskates, so a trip to one of the local shopping centres was in order. Geez that sun’s got a kick to it! Now I have a small child awkwardly but happily rolling around the house 🤣

    Great service from BCF these past couple of days.

    First I saw they were doing $20 off orders over $100, so I found 2 fishing shirts that could pass as business shirts. Then on signup I got $5 credit that stacked with the discount.

    The shirts were on clearance so they could only be picked up from a store with local stock, that was fine, whatever.

    But then the shirts arrived in the mail, and they were still telling me to go collect my order.

    So we rocked up to the BCF today and they couldn’t find the order, so I could pick any two items from the clearance section regardless of price. So I pick out two more shirts similar to the ones I got. Then at the register, not only did I get these two extra shirts, but a further $3 refund on the original purchase price.

    So, brilliant service from BCF. Definitely my go to fishing store I would recommend to anyone here.

    I have been to the gym, met a friend for coffee and done my weekly shop.

    Much productivity, so now many relax

    New soil and tomatoes are in! watering system for the stupid grass tree (even though it does look nice) in. Found a 50cm tall apricot tree in the veggie patch (which is next to a mature one). Had no idea what it was until now lol. Not gonna bother grafting it so just transplanted it as is and hope for the best assuming the worst.
