I bought 3 big sacks of dry cat food yesterday but since I can't lift heavy objects they haven't been put away.
Bill and Ted have been guarding the sacks all night. ๐บ
They didnโt gnaw their way in?
too lazy
Someone called me โresponsibleโ today. Rudeโฆ.
Oh my god go to sleep child. I love you, but go to fโing sleep!
Aaaand I'm done. Wasn't as taxing as I expected! Still pretty warm out too. Gonna be a nice scoot home.
FF 7 Rebirth disc is in and installing/updating. PS5 ran out of space so I nuked a couple of my games for her. Should have a very impressed wife this evening.
Ah that's true love!

Hmmm, so Police can't march in the pride parade but they are expected to show up to maintain law and order. Interesting.
The parade board uninvited the police, who usually march in their uniforms, because it was deemed to be insensitive following the murder of a gay couple by one of their colleagues (with a police issue revolver no less). Individuals who happen to be police were still allowed to march just like anyone else. Now an agreement has been reached that police can be in the parade as a representative group, but in plain clothes.
As for the police that are maintaining law and order, that's their job, as it is for any large scale public event.
There's questions to be answered about the gun situation but I do think it's heavy handed to un-invite the police as a group in the way that they have. After all they didn't instruct or condone it. In this situation someone killed someone that just happened to be employed by Police, it wasn't a Policeman acting as Police who killed. And the guy is obviously not all there. Sounds like he would have killed anyway through some other method eventually.
Would they uninvite Qantas as a corporate sponsor if one of their employees murdered someone? What about Optus, or Coles?
Personally I don't care for virtue signalling, which is what it looks like when Police march. But then again there's virtue signalling all around. Those big corporate sponsors would drop Pride faster than you could blink if it seriously hurt their financial bottom line.

Slept well, got up to the alarm easy, not too hot for my run - doggo was good company - new PB. Felt pretty good
Side note - if i was to compete against the 4 minute mile record holder, they would beat me by almost exactly 4 minutes.
I hate traffic. Spent way too much time waiting to get onto the Ring Road this morning, then way too much time waiting to get off it this afternoon. It's been a long day in general with way too much driving for my tastes, so I'm glad to be home on the couch now.
This dinosaur water colour exercise is becoming a project of it's own.
I admit I love how it's making me think of what colours I should use, for example, what colour was the sky in the Permian ( it was greenish) and how to use shading. What colours are the animals , what colour the plants and the dirt.
I could also just make it all up and not go with realism!!
I keep obsessing, thinking of going to the art shop and getting brushes and inks and paints but I can't walk well yet.

Hello possums
Hello and good day to you too.
Driving my old gentleman client for shopping today. He's a very pious old Greek man and prays before we set off and along the way - I notice we get a smooth run and good parks so I'm all for it!
I know it's not super popular these days, but the crypto space is back in its "exciting enough to keep people awake watching charts" phase. It has been quite a while since it was going as hard as it is at the moment and my modest portfolio is doing quite well.
This means the market will likely die in the arse tomorrow or Friday because that's just how it goes. I'd love to live in fantasy land where it just keeps going like it has been and I end up buying a house in cash but the world just isn't good to me like that.

Only about 350 books to cover with contact paper.
Will I go insane before I finish?
Can you put some music on while you do it? If so, put a disco/rave/party mix on haha.
I like putting my Eurovision playlist on when I do tedious shit (doing the dishes, vacuuming, life-admin, etc), it makes the time go faster :D

Final Fantasy Day!!!
What's the best powdered chicken or beef stock I can get at Coles/Woolies/aldi?
I use salt reduced Massel, but that isnโt actually chook.
Continental chicken stock powder. It comes in a red container. If you don't mind stock cubes get Oxo.
