    MissGod has completed the work experience week at the police station and courthouse. None of it super exciting but has made quite a few acquaintances with the local constabulary.

      That’s probably the single most useful thing anyone can do on work experience. That is, learning that cops are people too (off duty). Police stations and courthouses is where the rubber meets the road in terms of peopleology too.

      It’s learning experience. You’ll get the one you want when you want it.

      Sucks now, but opens up more opportunities.

    Tonight’s wave

    No one there which I know is a bad idea but it’s very calming for some reason.

    Miss Meow decided to check if I was awake with a claw to the nose. There was blood.

        Normally I get a gentle paw touch to the face, followed by sitting on me and purring loudly into my ear. Not sure why a claw came out today but I was not impressed.

    Well, first week is over.

    Pretty tired but not in a bad way necessarily. Will be nice to have some time to just relax tonight and not be on a timer.

    Have a few errands to run then it’s home sweet home.

    As beach pictures are popular here I thought I should share a photo from my once-in-a-decade trip to the ocean the other day.

    Bit rough out there.

    So jumping in soon for the sunset swim. I believe this might be the arse end of the weather system / swell that hit the east coast a few days ago. Sometimes goes over that wall but like that not often.

      That’s so cool and totally different to where I am. There’s a coral reef off the beach and rocks here and the water is always very calm.
      edited for pic, i think we get the tides about an hour after you

        That is a loooooot of kittens. So much chaos and mischief lol

        I have become a cat gentleman it seems. So be it. As long as they’re fed I’m happy :)

      You are a kind soul. Any luck finding a rescue organisation that could rehome them? The 11 could turn into 50 very quickly if the cats are not desexed. Cats can become pregnant very young.

        Only 1 bothered to respond to my query. They said to try again in 2 weeks.

        Another responded and said call the council.

        No way. They’ll euthanise them. Better they stay strays than that.

        I don’t know what to do except keep feeding them. I can’t take in any more cats. I’ll be leaving here in 6 months and I’m worried what will happen then.

    My biggest client decided to call for a Friday late afternoon pow-wow which has properly fried my brain. Ready to check out mentally for the weekend. This week felt like a lot for some reason, but not as shitty as last week so we’re on the up.

    the little back yard is full of bird nests

    I suppose that helps explain why there are so many birds around 🙂

    First look at the chilli patch after 2 weeks away:

    spoiler


    Enough there to start fermenting now :)

    Can see a fair bit of leaf curl but no edema. Overwatered but not the worst, will dial that down. Habs a bit shit this year but the thais pulled through alright.

        Yea with this controller you can. Can also get it to talk to a weather station and the BoM. But sometimes you have to take a step back and think hrmm… ‘will I fuck that up’ and for me the answer is ‘most likely’.

    I imagine there won’t be many people in the office today.

    Guys that’s handing over created a confluence page with all the info I need. Turns out we pretty much have 1 week to handover.

    The CEO and my line manager came and apologised to me about the situation and said he basically blind sided them with his resignation as he was supposed to move departments.

    I appreciated that. They’ve also been completely transparent with their financials, which I’ve never experienced before.

    Let’s see how things play out.

    Enjoy your day everyone :)

      the difference between a good place and a bad place is so obvious once you experience it

      this is really good , you need this and you got this 🙂
