    I went off to Coles because I’ve been sugar deprived and wanted some Malteser bunnies. Saw a young chick stacking the Easter shit and she asked me what I wanted and I told her and she picked a bag and I said “oh no not the kitkat they’re shit. All I see is a sea of purple”. I swear it just flew out. I thanked her and walked away then it dawned on me that perhaps she was a Cadbury rep and that’s why she was wearing purple. Oops.

    Anyway “WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY MALTESER BUNNIES COLES? I ASK 3 DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND THEY SENT ME TO THE PURPLE. SOMEONE WILL GET HURT”.

    Someone stole the air release valve from my new watering system and a gecko from under one of the bricks I was putting in the car to take to the tip is now in the… car.

    I want that sentence to make sense.

    But who steals a $20 air release valve?

    Oh boy I’m real tired. I had some stuff in my hand to throw in the bin and I walked to the laundry, lifted the laundry basket lid and ALMOST released before realising that a moment earlier I’d thought about picking up yesterday’s tshirt and putting it in the laundry basket and that’s how that all happened. I think I might make the effort to seek coffee this morning.

    This coffee ain’t doing it. And the tiredness will continue for a couple of days more. 7am flight to Sydney tomorrow, and another early-ish morning on Wednesday before coming home. Easter break will be for sleeping.

    I have a crazy theory.

    The story of Ford vs Ferrari is exactly the same story as The Hobbit

    I’ve made the switch from Spotify Premium and have finally taken YouTube up on its offer of a free 2 month trial of YouTube Music which comes with YouTube Premium. I was already blocking YouTube ads on my PC but it’s nice to not have ads on my phone too.

    Not 100% sold yet on YouTube Music but I haven’t really put it through its paces. I’ve only played some of the curated playlists. I was concerned about the lower audio quality than Spotify but experts online swear that YouTube Music do some magic to make it sound as good if not better so here I am, trying it out. Quality sounds pretty good to me so far too.

      I’ve been using it for over 10 years. I actually much prefer the old Play Music service that Youtube Music replaced. No ads in Youtube is as important as the music service itself to me, now.

      It’s been my music streaming service of choice for several years after moving over from Spotify.

      But I’m starting to move back to physical/owned media because of the way YouTube interprets COPA.

      You can’t save music to a custom playlist if it’s “for children”, you can’t play it in the mini player.

      I’m a teacher, making curated playlists with children’s music is important for me, as I imagine it’s equally important for parents who want to put all their skills kids favourite songs in a private family playlist to keep car rides sane. It’s baffling that YouTube won’t let me do this.

      And because my algorithm is so fucked up if I start a “radio” from something like Aladdin or the Lion King (you know, show tunes that are appropriate for kids) it will start playing Beetlejuice right afterwards, because I listen to that album in my own free time, and the algorithm recognises them both as soundtracks, and doesn’t understand how that might not be appropriate for me to have as background music in my classroom.

      I’ve set up a children’s profile to avoid this radio issue, but then it limits music that is children appropriate but not marketed as such, songs like the Carpenters “Sing” or even Beetles here comes the sun, are “not for kids” so I can’t play them on a kids profile.

    Set in Medieval during the Black Death Sweden a Returned Crusader, his squire and a troupe of mummers meet Death.

    The story is about life, life is a mirror of our soul.

      About mummers ( medieval travelling actors) . If your name is King, Knight or Priest or some other title or religious title you probably had an ancestor who was a mummer who had that role in Passion Plays. I think I had an ancestor who played such a dramatic role.

    I finally saw another car the same as my own on my way to the supermarket! As in the exact same model (50 year anniversary model which only comes in 1 colour which is unique to that model). I beeped at it. Twinsies!
