My in ground pool is about to overflow……
And the lawns are all going to need mowing again
Seems like it’s a once a week job this spring and summer (takes hours, lots of lawn)
My grass is so lush out there.
Always is, then by mid jan it’s all dead
My lawns haven’t died off in the last 2 years……
My lawn seems to be like painting the harbour bridge lately… by the time I get to the end of it, I need to go back to the beginning and start again :|
A roomba mower would be great.

Strikers vs Hurricanes. My pick is the Strikers. Good luck!
Good luck to you too!
Hope the Hurricanes don’t make the same mistake as the other night.
All they needed was 1 or two extra runs.
Yeah it was a major stuff up.

Does anyone have suggestions for good catteries in Melbourne? I’m still having health issues and wasn’t happy with the one Melbcat recently went to.
Bonus points for fear free techniques, experience with older cats who have medical issues, cats who are stressed by other cats and especially ones that withdraw or soil in fear.
Cat shack in narre Warren. Used them a few times for my cats, including one timid kitty.
How did your timid kitty go? Was she well cared for or kind of just ignored and left to hide?
Timid kitty did well, they gradually built up trust and kitty came out of hiding.
Would a pet sitting service be more appropriate or less stressful for Melbcat? By pet sitting, I mean coming to Melbcat’s home to feed her and give pills etc.
I hate removing her from her familiar environment but am not really on board with someone I don’t know entering my house, and don’t want her left alone a lot. Also her pills are every day at 6am and 6pm so not exactly convenient hours

I had left over béchamel sauce from making lasagne. I’ve found out that I should have put it on the lasagne, I didn’t put enough on. Mistakes made, lessons learned.
Work phoned: “I know you don’t work Monday, but could you do one job today?”.
Ha ha ha no way.When I get called like that, it’s a minimum of four hours. I don’t get called.
Really getting into Dennis Lehane this year (ha), read Shutter Island and midway through Mystic River. I knew the Shutter Island ending, but still a great read and Mystic River has me firmly engrossed so far.
Never read the book, but I thought the film was great, both in fact.
Smashed through Chris Hammer’s Tilt last night and was impressed.
As much as I liked those two, the Kenzie-Gennaro books were my favourite of his. Kind of pulpy but written well enough to keep me interested.
This covid shit is no fkn joke, it’s absolutely gutted me, its kind of scary. The fatigue is also something I’ve never felt before, I’m awake for 30mins tops, and then I’m out again until I wake myself from sweating through everything.
Yeah that fever is a bastard. I hope it passes soon for you. I was taking pseudoephedrine and mersynofen every 4 hours (which I’ve sadly run out of, I might head to the medical centre for more now) and I’ve been sleeping as much as I can.
hugs, rest, drink a lot and take care. 🤗
Have you got plenty of paracetamol for the fever? Do you have anyone to help you if things get dire? Even just a slab of Aldi gatorade kind of help?
Yeah, by some crazy turn of events the housemate has not caught it, so they are playing nurse maid. We are also super lucky our house is designed in a way that allows us to completely quarantine from one another, including only them being able to access the kitchen.
Keep smashing the waters! Dont wanna get dehydrated cause that takes it from a bad time to a worse time.
Yeah, I feel ya. That virus knocked me about for six days. I rarely get sick, so it was a true eye-opener!
I think this latest strain is hitting people harder than anticipated.
Hope you get plenty of rest and feel better soon.
Hang in there.
Space fans: the new Vulcan rocket launches at 6:18pm https://www.youtube.com/live/wZ6KTFMHenA?feature=shared
Well it made it! (so far heh).
First launch and it lived which is a good sign.
The most frustrating thing about working in this small call centre is when people don’t take their breaks on time.
I am on the late shift (10am - 6pm) and when they don’t take their breaks/lunch on time, it ends up pushing my breaks/lunch out later and later. And I can’t go first because “eVeRyOnE sHoUlD gO iN oRdEr”

Finished the rest of Wool as an audiobook to give my eyes a break. That final twist!! I can’t wait to read the rest next two books.
❤️
No spoilers: I preferred the first and third, but the third made the second make sense so don’t give up on the second if it feels out of place! Fantastic read, and the TV show is pretty good too.
I have heard the second is a bit hard going since it goes into the background events and stuff closer to current times, but I’m really curious about what happened now. And today seems like perfect book reading weather!
I watched the tv show first actually and that’s what got me to start reading the books. Books are much much better IMO, hands down - except for one or two minor differences (like Bernard’s characterisation). I hated Juliette in the tv series…
Again desperately trying to not do spoilers: the second book is 100% worth reading as it explains a lot of the why, and the character you met at the end of the first book, tying it all together for book 3. It has been years since I read them.
Completely agreed with Bernard, and Juliette in the TV show; she was even a different ethnicity in my head when reading them which has compounded the problem for me.
Also agree the books are better, but aren’t they always? :D
Do let me know if you find any sci-fi books that you enjoy though as although I have a backlog of about 5 books atm, I’m always looking for more.
I can definitely see how it ties in to the lore and motivations. Am just starting Second Shift but I have my guesses about that character from Wool starting with S tying into the developments so far… it seems like a lot of the usual dystopian/post apocalyptic mind control tropes are at play, nothing groundbreaking but still an easy enough read.
I don’t read nearly as much of any fiction as I’d like to, let alone sci-fi, but I will say… I am absolutely dying to read Red Side Story coming out in a month’s time, the much anticipated (FOURTEEN years!!) sequel to Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde, a very British, surreal take on your usual forbidden-love chosen-one sort of dystopia.
It’s not exactly sci fi but I just love the bonkers world building - so much to guess about how everything works, yet it also doesn’t take itself too seriously. SoG was the first book I ever borrowed after coming to Australia, randomly picked off a new-releases shelf, and I have gone back so many times in the 14 years since, desperate for more…
Not necessarily everyone’s cup of tea but it’ll always have a place in my heart!
Yeah it’s all typical dystopian tropes and just an easy read, but it’s one of the first book series I recommend to friends that are interested in getting in to reading dystopian sci-fi .That and then for other books you can typically rely on the Arthur C. Clarke award winners to be brilliant.
I’ve made a note of that book, and I’m going to share it with my partner. The premise reminds me of a range of other sci-fi books and indie films.
Happy for you looking forward to the sequel :D
And as a fellow immigrant (10 years ago I was a Brit / am a pom), I absolutely love hearing stories like yours and those first memories of being here ❤️
