Melbourne

Welcome to Numbat Facts.

Numbats are the only member of the family Myrmecobiidae. This saves them a great deal of money not buying presents this time of year.

Just signed a new contract today.

Pay rise before Christmas, yaaaaas

I shot my first fly!!!

Sky pretty

Dins!

Again not a soul on that beach was perfect.

Rothenburg Christmas market! Unfortunately it closed so early that we didn’t get to go to it after dinner, which was sad. Also the famous Plonlein. Rothenburg is so beautiful. If you like beautifully preserved medieval walled cities, this is a gem.

Walking the doggo and a fly went up my nose....and didn't come out. I guess that's it then. It's been nice knowing you all.

I don't want to take anything away from the numbats appreciation week but can we spend a moment admiring the late David Bowie's fashion sense. It's quite a mild look this month.

Geez this flight to Canberra is packed and hot! Pretty chuffed with myself that I got everything done on time - dishes, bins, all the packing, really glad for this baggage scale I got from my brother as the gate staff were steadfastly checking all the carry on bags... For a 42 minute flight. Even though I don't have the satisfaction of having finished all my work projects I'm glad to be getting away!

when netflix fucked off password sharing, we cancelled our subscription.

I'm house sitting for a friend for a few days, and have just spent about half an hour mindlessly scrolling netflix and can't find a single thing I want to watch that I haven't already seen.

I feel even better about my decision.

Edit: I lied, I half-heartedly watched the Beckham thing

Dinner has been eaten and I'm still hungry. I was very close to eating the portion set aside for lunch tomorrow.

I think this calls for an emergency apple crumble. With custard.

This is a PSA. The BBL (big bash league) starts tonight at 7:30 with Brisbane Heat and Melbourne Stars. I know what youse are thinking yeah we love cricket but for those who have never watched it's a 20/20 game that's quick, fun and you get to watch a lot of slogs into the stands for charity.

Some players are mic-ed up and have a little banter with the commentators for a real feel good game. So guys get on it and support one of our Melbourne teams. Either the Melbourne Stars (green) or the Melbourne Renegades (red).

P.s. Stars home ground is the MCG. The Renegades is at Marvel. Melbourne and Sydney are the only 2 states to have 2 teams in the comp.

It would be really nice if something encouraging happened. Just saying

😹 going through my folders and found this old collaborative thingamybob. Peacocks, cowboy aliens, dinosaurs, and a FSM dispensing much plonk.

Welcome to my brain, it is a tad different

Sat as a passenger in a Tesla for a fair bit today and it's honestly mind boggling how so many people want to have a car with a giant arse touchscreen and almost no physical controls. There is way too much going on in that screen.

Work Christmas party tomorrow. 12.30 knock off and free calories. excellent 👌 Edit: it also seems to be the season indeed. Few work mates and I all wanted after works drinks and the first two places we tried were reserved for private functions!

The Minipeelers have a curriculum day today due to the school concert last night, so I have one element of my morning hustle eliminated. I get to enjoy breakfast, get myself ready for work and swan off 🦢

School concert was pretty funny in parts.. hats off to the enthusiastic fortnite dancing of grade one boys dressed as spiderman, brought the house down!

So I finally finished Only Murders in the Building. Maaaan that was not the best season hey. It lost so much of itself. I mean, they hardly did any podcasting at all. Hope they can right the ship for season 4.

Chag sameach For those who do 🕯️

Found someone selling these goofy ass posters. I'm thinking of getting the banana and the lemon one perhaps. Are they too goofy or just the right amount 🤪

Google's Gemini is seriously impressive. It's insane how quickly this AI boom has progressed and I can't wait to see the next 12 months of it.

Darebin Library has stopped using Libby and just supports BorrowBox now. Kobo's can't run BorrowBox - this was the whole reason I bought a Kobo for my kid - boo Darebin - booooooooooooooooooooooo

Don't forget errybody today is HOT TAKE THURS. Don't hold back.

I missed a few this week Sun. through Wed. so we're working on that for next week.
