Good morning Holidayers. Presently 19 degrees. Going for a 36 in Casterton where I am going today. Then high twenties to low thirties for the next week-ish. February is running late…

Currently 23.0°:C, 73% RH, 3/8 cloud (which will likely evaporate in the next hour or two) and calm. The BoM predicts 28°C. I expect hotter. They’ve also been predicting rain every day since Saturday. We got about 5 mm one night, and that’s it. Now February is all done and dusted, and it adds up to 8 mm. It’s average approaches 300 mm…

I borrowed a pressure cleaner from a neighbour. It works well – definitely better than my little one, but is pours water out the bottom. I dismantled it and found a broken inlet spigot. (I didn’t break it.) So some fixing’s in order today.

We got rain! Eight or nine drops of it fell out of one of those clouds. I can see (and count) them on the roof of the shed. No watering for the next 20 minutes!

I like that name. Pretty much like that shower (which’d be better described as 4 inch rain).

It’s my last morning shift.

First customer: Gimme a 4 pack
Me: Our smallest pack is 6 *gives price *
Customer: I’ll just get 4
Me: *bags doughnuts *
Customer: Can I get those in a box?
Me: Sure *puts 4 doughnuts into a 6 pack *
Customer: The box is too big, can I get a smaller box?
Me: We don’t have smaller boxes, our smallest is a 6 pack
Customer: Then I’ll just have the bags
Me: *puts doughnuts into 2 bags *
Customer: Can I get a plastic bag for those?
Me: *puts bags into plastic bag, which is big enough for a 6 pack *
Customer: Oh that bag’s too big, I’ll just carry them.

I woke around 3am, stayed awake for about an hour, fell asleep and dreamed my dad was picking me up for a camping trip, woke again 2 minutes before my alarm was due. Traffic was pretty bad this morning so I was three minutes late.

I hope I have enough doughnuts :-/

Tomorrow and Friday afternoons, then I’m done. Officially, that is. I’m supposed to come back next week for a “proper handover” to the new me, but I have plans to wash my hair that day.

Aaaargh……I hate people.

I’ve had this conversation in the bookstore version.

C: I don’t want a bag!!!

kii: Watches me take the books out of bag.

I hand the books to them with the receipt tucked in the cover of the top book….it’s hanging out and clearly visible.

C: Did you give me a receipt?!!!

kii: It’s tucked in the first book.

C: I want the receipt WITH me!!

So…I take it out of the book and hand them the books with the receipt on top.

C: I need a bag!!

This is when I need a can of mace and/or a mallet.

You’ll have to set the alarm earlier for that.

My posts are a mess….I’m going to go take a nap. Between no sleeping too well (like DA) and this horrendous wind and the passive aggro at work…I’m really exhausted. Plus I had some special choccy an hour ago :P

G’night and good-bye!!

How are you these days anyway SS?

stumpy_seahorse said:

Didn’t even get to the camping bit, he just came to my house to pick me up and the whole dream was us chatting.

There’s an old 4wd in the car park which has been there for about 3 weeks. No rego plates but covered in signs saying “For Sale, $5500” and a phone number. Yesterday when I came in, the car was gone. Yesterday when I left, the car was in a different spot with signs saying “For sale, $5800”. Still no rego plates. I think I’ll take a marker out and write on it, “Tell ‘im ‘e’s dreamin’”.

I had a short visit from the boss, who dropped in for coffee on her way down to the factory. Also had a phone call from John Wayne. He’s not dead, apparently.

I just tagged you in a post on Thug Kitchen. Your favourite subject – liver cleansing diets :D

I’ve seen both versions of True Grit. I had to watch them for CMM220 which was all about Westerns.

All I remember from that unit was some Western with River in the title where John Wayne and Montgomery Clift were the embodiment of repressed homosexuality or something.

Time dilation is all to do with how much information you have in your brain.
Time goes slowly when your brain is laying down information, time goes slow when you are young.
When you’re old and full of knowledge and wisdom you tend to daydream because your brain is just on idle, so you muse and navel gaze and then you say “goodness me is that the time”

so I finished watching the first season of Stranger Things

a little unsatisfying… I get the Eleven doesn’t really understand her powers, but I’m guessing the idea was that she and the monster went back to the upside-down and in doing so she closed off the portals from our side… not really a fan of the Alien face sucker and egg combo either (it’s been done to great effect in another franchise already)…

well there is that as well.. presumably she’s been made a host for some monster baby

and the whole “boy who came back to life” thing… did they not exhume the body in the grtave to check what was going on??

It’s got some great thriller/suspense elements and that makes it fun to watch… but there are also some great glaring plot holes…

I hope those glaring plot holes are fixed in season two.

if they are intentional then great… but I don’t see quite that level of intelligence in the writing as it feels a bit too hap-hazard for that…

like I said the other day, it’s a cool concept and it’s easy to introduce all this mystery but it’s much harder to close it out in a consistent way

cos english is a really hard language with all its strange rules and exceptions.

So, pick an easier language. The aliens are smrt enough to get here and know stuff, they can surely learn another language.

What is really interesting is how they are quoting him using soundbites from him. One I heard yesterday contained 3 different parts of “speeches”. He says nothing of substance and the media has to work with what they get, so they are.

I mean in terms of showing appropriate respect and deference to the President, I’d respect her more if she took a huge dump on his desk. The man is a complete arsehole.

Many years ago I remember my cousin’s Canadian boyfriend squatting on our antique lounge in a similar fashion. My mother was horrified. That photo brings back the trauma of that day.

A UV light would produce an interesting picture.

Today just before I left work, a huge cloud of dust rolled past the door. Upon investigation, A lady had apparently either been pulling in or reversing out of the centre parking in a land cruiser, in the main drag. Some idjit in a Korean copycat vehicle slammed into her rear door and slid along buggering both doors. Spun her right around and bent his left front wheel at right angles to everything else, tearing huge hunks off his car. I don’t care whether she was pulling in or reversing out. The nature of the street is that even when there is no traffic, 40 Kph should be the absolute maximum and trying to overtake turning cars is just ludicrous, right?

Which is why Harley Davidson won’ break into that market. When you compare the price doubled up against the price of a Chinese bike.

And I supppose there is that Harley’s are very much a touring style rather than a commuting style bike.

i did see quite a few bikes. But they weren’t big bikes.

Two men were arrested for going through a McDonald’s drive-thru on a moving sofa at 3:19 a.m.

The home furnishing, also called a couch, was being towed by a 3rd man riding an ATV, also called a deathtrap. The passengers went over to order some McEdibles.

Apparently going into a drive-thru on a towed couch is illegal there (I had no idea this was such a common crime that a specific law was needed) so a police officer pulled in behind them and turned on his lights. This resulted in the ATV guy and couch driving off (down a frozen river, no less) leaving his partners behind.

The two men, not surprisingly, were intoxicated.

Cpl. Lorri McEachern, of the New Brunswick police, commented that, in spite of riding drunk on a towed sofa in winter in the middle on the night, both men were wearing helmets “so obviously safety was somewhat important.”

It’s the noise one makes as one coughs up one’s lungs.

Given the length of the speech, it was remarkable (for DJT) for the low number of outright falsehoods.

The only claim that the CNN reality check team marked as “False” was “The vast majority of individuals convicted of terrorism and terrorism-related offenses since 9/11 came here from outside of our country”. There were others they marked as “mostly true” or “true but misleading” but that’s pretty normal for a politician.

Yeah, the army pension is indexed to cost of living of which I suppose inflation is a component, the increases have been pretty small. Against that is that costs of most things in my experience have gone down, God bless China.

Once they lift the majority of their people out of poverty wages will increase and then it will be God bless Africa. China by the way is investing biggly in Africa which to my mind is a pretty good idea. Resources out the ying yang and lots of poverty.

SubSaharan Africa is a varied place and there is not much similarity between the economies of Gabon, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Somalia. Poor governance remains a major impediment but some places do better than others. Gabon’s oil wealth has mainly enriched the oligarchy whereas Botswana has managed to achieve general improvements in standards of living.

Hello Holidayers. It got to 33 in Casterton today and sat there for hours. My little portable aircon did a sterling job in the waiting room/office. I had the stand fan going in the consulting room. I could have got out the second portable aircon but decided we’d manage.

I have the sprinklers on the veggies at the moment. I’ll go out and move them shortly. And water the babies (seedlings).

In hot weather like this all watering should be deep watering done when the sun is away. If you have to use sprinklers, again best done while the sun is not looking.

I went out to water. there was a euro wasp in the dog dish. There were lots of them buzzing around. I ran away. I shall sneak out after last light and get the dog dish and water him inside for a while.

Yet a few weeks ago it was hell on earth.

We are definitely raising a HHGTTG Boxer puppy here. She belts around at full pelt – which is now getting pretty fast – and hurls herself at the ground. She hasn’t yet managed to miss, but boy is she going to be surprised when she does. She’s very keen on chasing butterflies. I guess they will need to be more careful when she starts flying…

I went out to water. there was a euro wasp in the dog dish. There were lots of them buzzing around. I ran away. I shall sneak out after last light and get the dog dish and water him inside for a while.

i nearly died last time I battled one and I am not game to try again.

Frightening. Do you usually have that many around the place?

It is the time of year for them to be everywhere. We need to have some heavy rain to wipe them out. In the old days Brett would hunt down the nest. I can’t be that brave.

Hello Holidayers. It got to 33 in Casterton today and sat there for hours. My little portable aircon did a sterling job in the waiting room/office. I had the stand fan going in the consulting room. I could have got out the second portable aircon but decided we’d manage.

I have the sprinklers on the veggies at the moment. I’ll go out and move them shortly. And water the babies (seedlings).

Over 30 here today, heading for a minimum of 17 overnight. Then another hot one tomorrow with showers and possible thunderstorm in the afternoon.

I wonder how much pest control people would charge for that.

I had a nest in Casterton, right by the ramp that the patients come in. I tried the spray stuff that is supposed to kill them. In the end, the best was flystrike powder, usually used on sheep’s bums. I went out at dusk, after they’d gone inside, and sprinkled the powder down the hole and around it. Worked quite remarkably well. A few weeks later, I put a spade into the nest – carefully, and after making sure there were no longer any coming in and out. It was incredibly big, that underground nest. I just spaded and spaded and spaded and destroyed all structure.

Too much probably. I should have an epi pen but I never got together working out how to get to see the specialist. I should have anti histamines in the cupboard . But I don’t. I’ll just hide.

Brett would pour petrol in the hole. If he could he would leave the upturned bottle in the hole. Worked well.

Hope you disposed of it all in the correct manner.

I doubt they would be interested. There was a time when the council was interested. Euros are everywhere now. They have lost the battle.

A bit like fruit fly here when in my youth we were proudly a fruit fly free zone.
