    Went out for dinner last night, got a porterhouse. Some drinks, more drinks at another bar. Aldi beer.

    Then I promptly fell asleep at 11pm.

    It’s fun when my partner’s birthday is within 10 days of mine 😂 he is my best friend, I love how we can make each other laugh.

    I hope everyone has the best day!!

      Sounds like an excellent evening!! How fun is it when your partner is your best friend? Boyo and I were in bed last night, unable to sleep and just talking and laughing about the stupidest stuff, it was excellent (aside from the lack of sleep thing).

    I used to love going to guitar shops. But I get treated like some kind of fucking exhibit these days. I went to one in Brunswick. I’ve known the owner for like, 20 years and he’s super chill but rarely in store.

    Not every musician is a lanky white dude.

    I don’t complain about racism pretty much ever, but it irks me in this context.

    My 10 years sober present to myself.

      I have no idea what it is other than you bought it in the guitar shop and you really like it

      therefore, nice 🙂

          Dude seriously. I’m dying to finish work and plug this into the helix.

          I’ve got a stereo tube amp setup as well, so I hope it sounds fucking awesome!!!

    Bluestone moved! No monolith / stonehenge today :(

    Moved some biggish bits of bluestone yesterday. Feeling that today. 2 more to go. One of them is about 1.5m long 30cm wide and 20cm high. Chuckin’ it in a bluestone slab weight calculator it’s over 250kgs lol.

    Not sure what to do with the big one (or how to move it safely). Tempted to bury it a bit, upright in the middle of the lawn as a sort of a space odyssey monolith thing for no reason.

    Did some adulting with bank accounts. Not only has the old Bond paid for the new door but there is no need to double count pennies unless we find a Must that has to be ordered Right Now. Utterly astonished.

    Several buckets of paint stripper it is.

        Different name, but orange based stuff we got from the mob you recommended. Takes a bit to cook but nowhere the awful stench of some others.

    Can’t sleep, too hot, angry angry angry at having my work schedule upended last minute and not having the time I really needed and now running behind on things again. Forced back out into site visits when I had other stuff to do and planned everything ahead of time. I am firmly putting my foot down next time.

    I’m going to be extra grumpy from being sleep deprived as well…

      Good luck. Had a minor reaction to this year’s batch. Nothing major just felt iffy for a couple of days.

          Maybe they added some spice in anticipation of a bad flu season.

          I was fine two days after, but I rarely get side effects. This one definitely was extra

    bangs table excitedly TRIPLE PAY MONTH TRIPLE PAY MONTH and yes I have carefully planned my leave to come around the bonus pay. Half of it to savings, the other half to buy me some fuckin’ treats and I have now ordered the Bigtree I have had my eye on for years

      My brain just does not compute budgeting that way. I budget on my fortnightly pay cycle, with monthly and yearly payments averaged out.

        Same. A fortnight is a fortnight, every bill or estimated bill gets divided into fortnightly payments even if it’s $3 per fortnight. Getting paid 3 times a month makes no difference at all to my accounting/budgeting…

        I just run a spreadsheet. Pay1 on X pay 2 on Y, reoccurring bills all colourcoded in accordance to what pay cycle purview they land in + half a mortgage payment = total for that pay. Subtract ones with PAID next to them from the total for a running idea of how much moneys I need to have before next pay rolls in

      I plotted this out in calendars when I got paid fortnightly as well. It feels good knowing its happening but I wish my bank account felt the difference more
