      I played the recent server slam beta and the sound design is great. I solo’d everything though so once I got downed that was it. It would be great with a squad or if they added the ability to self revive

    Big afternoon of washing up outside - washed the car, windows and my very dirty undercover area and outdoor furniture. Now I can actually sit outside and enjoy a beer 🍺

    Next task is hanging up some fairy lights in my undercover area, it’s a decent size so thinking about best way to go about it. And how many lights I’ll need.

    Had a mate over that I’ve known since high school. We came up together in bands and music in general.

    Fuck it’s good to catch up with him :)

    New soil and tomatoes are in! watering system for the stupid grass tree (even though it does look nice) in. Found a 50cm tall apricot tree in the veggie patch (which is next to a mature one). Had no idea what it was until now lol. Not gonna bother grafting it so just transplanted it as is and hope for the best assuming the worst.

    I have been to the gym, met a friend for coffee and done my weekly shop.

    Much productivity, so now many relax

    Miniest has been saving her money for rollerskates, so a trip to one of the local shopping centres was in order. Geez that sun’s got a kick to it! Now I have a small child awkwardly but happily rolling around the house 🤣

    Went to [redacted cafe] for a cocktail and they had a staff member dressed like a nazi, red swastika arm band and all. I raised issue and I think they hid until we left.

        It looked pretty home made. It was a younger person and kinda petite so I tried to politely tell them they shouldn’t be wearing that. I was also concerned that if they’re just an idiot, someone more punk rock than me might hit them with a brick. I just finished up and left.

      What the hell… I fail to understand the thought process. Even if it was due to Halloween they should know that’s a no go

      maybe the costumes of past Halloweens were just as terrifying and offensive to the people then, us now, we just don’t believe in the devil or ghosts anymore

      iow, it’s meant to be offensive scary , not something we are meant to agree with

      but we live now and people don’t understand halloween anymore, so it’s definitely inappropriate

        You’re absolutely right about the costumes. It’s one of the reasons I have an issue with the whole trick or treat thing. The watering down of something serious and important into flimsy plastic costumes and candy.

        If interested, you might want to read up on the Mari Llwd - thoroughly pagan, intended to terrify, and also intended to remind the power-holders that the great unwashed also held power over them and the means of production. Even if that power was confined to just one day a year. Christianity turned the Mari Llwd into hobby horses and rocking horses, yet the folksong Widdicombe Fair still reminds us of some of it’s original power and might.

    Had a dream that a giant passenger plane from a banned airline landed in my backyard upside down. Somehow the whole aircraft fit into the confines of my backyard that is arguably too small for a plane.

      Part of my dream that I remembered was using a photocopier at work. Between pages I looked through the glass and saw a tiny human spy taking photos of everything I was copying.

      I dreamed again that I was at work and couldn’t find my laptop. Someone had taken the monitor from my desktop and I couldn’t remember what floor I worked on. Whenever I dream about work, I always have a weird keyboard layout that isn’t Dvorak (which I normally use).

      I haven’t worked for nearly five years.

    The kids loved this toddler muesli bar that disappeared off the shelves recently. Turns out they’re two thirds sugar so that explains why they were so popular and probably why they stopped being made

      I just bought some bar molds to make my own. You could make an event of it with the kids tweaking the flavours. Nuts, oats, dates and coccoa are good base ingredients. I used to make caramel to drizzle over them for a bit of sweetness.

    Drove over to Geelong for cheese train, ended up at a gem show! So cool to hear everyone geeking out and how each of the stalls had their own niche interest. Plus the canteen had fresh made scones, but I was sadly too full from cheese train.
