tossed in the towel on today as I had the grump. Still somehow managed to dig out another greenhouse footing trench, repair the tanks (minor leaks) and irrigatia system, and do a fuckton of washing.
Also went fucking terminator on an ants nest after the little shits invaded the house. Shoulda stuck to the compost heap, boys.
Watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I saw it as a kid, but donβt really remember it. The movie was famous for the technological first of mixing animation with live film.
Also for having Warner Bros and Disney characters together. That was also a first. Piano battle with Daffy and Donald ducks. Parachute scene with Mickey and Bugs etc.
I don't know that could be done today. IP and branding is so much more protected these days. Licensing the leading characters may not be possible.
I got a bit of planting done today, and got my potting area & indoor growing area sorted out so I'm properly ready to do more. LED grow lights are so cheap and efficient these days, it makes it feasible to raise a lot of plants indoors. I've had some herbs growing over winter, and have a couple of shelves with varying lights and a heat mat for the summer seedlings. I added a couple of fans today for air circulation and to stop too much heat building up around the lights. It can get a bit too bright because it is open shelves, so I have put a curtain around it with a forest print which cuts the light and looks quite nice. Now I just need to get the garden beds outdoors done so I have somewhere to put all the plants once they are ready.
Omg @Seagoon_@aussie.zone the man slipped in Weezer - Africa It's better than Scuntmo's version π

Just in time for the footy!
I made the fish sandwich. Added 2 hash browns, lettuce , cheese and lots of tartar sauce.
Time to eat!
Fish burger with hash browns and lettuce and cheese!
What an arvo. Beach sunset, quick fish&chip dinner and now kicking back cheering the Dees.
Sooooo I bought some groceries to make a fish sandwich. I nearly accidently ran over my budget doing it and almost didnβt have enough for a haircut after finding out it went up in price by a few dollars.
I however did manage to grab some juice, coffee supplies and magical hash browns. Sadly the price of the hash browns also went up slightly.
Anyway I managed to fit in my haircut and get my food so I can self help myself early though I did have to give up a pack of lollies until next week and now Iβm pretty much broke until I get paid next week.
Now starts the rest and Iβm well equipped to bunker down and enjoy it all!
Also the hairdresser was pretty chatty. Took an hour to have my hair cut I think and nearly went over the limit for parking! Was a very nice person though so I donβt mind that at all and we had a good chat about things in general.
