Drains blocked again, second time in 6 months this has happened. A call out fee on a Saturday for plumbers does not come cheap. And if it’s tree roots again in the same spot as last time, I’ll have to get the drains re-lined to plug the holes that the roots are getting in. Which is $$$. I did say if this happened again I’d do the re-lining, now I have to. Crap start to the weekend.

Movie Review. Live and Let Die. 1970s Bond movie with Roger Moore.

a Bond Blaxploitation movie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaxploitation

I like how Black Americans* ( insert latest phrase ) are masters of their own lives, they make choices

But some of the racist and bigoted depictions of people made me gasp.

Just had to remind myself that this is pulp fiction/men's sex adventure genre, it's not high art.

The motor boat chase was really excellent and Bond was a good detective, he solved the case and also kinda saved the girl.

I don't care what Paul McCartney said, the song is lame ...lol. Maybe his voice is too sweet.

Day three of no computer. I'm boredddd. Waiting for my leave and last pay to be paid out and I'll go buy one of my own instead of relying on workplace provided one

Spent half the day in the garden. Mowing, weeding, fertilising, whippering and snippering, pruning and so on and so forth.

Had a nap, a kebab for lunch and Viet Spicy beef noodle soup for dinner

Lounging with some drinks and watching a flick with the fam (may have puffed some magic herb too)

Life good

The boys were very interested in the remote control car so I'll charge the spare batteries during their nap and we'll fund somewhere to drive it this afternoon

That sounds like so much fun.

Morning. Porridge, coffee, put the laundry on and then I think I’ll go out

I've been absurdly tired lately and now it's happening even in my dreams. I had a dream where I had free reign over a theme park and I could barely keep my eyes open in the dream >:(

Well she's still alive.
And she hasn't thrown up.
But she's definitely not her snuggly purry self. 🙁

It's so hard when they're sick.

I have decided to sell my guillotine. It's really good, but I just don't use it enough to justify keeping it. I might turn some A4 paper into A5 paper first.

This decluttering thing is hard.
