I was going to say maybe adopting a kitten/cat would improve your blood pressure.
But then I remembered reality.

clear skies today ๐
Good morning migraine. And somehow I need to do a fresh install of Windows today because Windows 11 can suck a dumpster of disease ridden dicks.
I grabbed the one off AN (of all places) and have to say that version is fine for me. Been going for 7 months now w/o a problemo. Only use it for DAW / photo stuff though.
Did you a fresh install or an in place upgrade?
Yea fresh.
Takes forever re-installing all the vsts though lol.
See that was my mistake. I was being lazy lol
So now I've got an extracted list of vsts that I'm collecting the installers for :(
tea and aspirin and sunnies and a gentle hug. hope you feel better soon

Thank you :)
YL is dog sitting (staying at the house). I got this text.

Question: If someone was staying at your house on their own for 2 weeks what might they find strange?
Absence of a tv.
What a weird layout the joint is, it's a whole lot of renovations cobbled together. It's a rabbit warren in a trenchcoat ๐. Maybe also all the weird noises and stuff in the main part of the house. But mainly the quantity of art and craft supplies crammed into my part of the house, a fairly small space. I've got enough stuff here to power a small primary school ๐
The amount of pointless shit in the shed.
Sometimes some stuff ends up being handy though.
so many books but very few novels
a complete mish mash of interior design styles
No microwave. Number of plastic dinosaurs? Number of things that are not black? Ask Witchy I guess ๐บ
Dinosaurs are not strange. Extinct, yes. Strange, no. At least for anyone that has ever had children in the house plastic dinos are normal.
Giant disco ball in the entry area.
Yep. This would confuse. Also the sex room extension.
I have been thinking way too much about this sex room thing lately and it just seems inherently creepy to me.
You gotta watch the show. Some of the rooms were done nice if you don't look at what's hanging on the walls.
The sheer quantity of tea
Me, because I never actually left and I'm watching them from the closet

Breakfast!

Oh yum.
looks delicious
Heater is on
yup,
had to turn the heater on for the fish ( haven't got his heater yet ) and now I've turned on the heater in my office
Just about to head out to the bakery on the corner for a banh mi and coffee. The word on the street is that they've just done a batch of coconut slice. Does anyone else want some?
yes please ๐

I wish to register a complaint. These hot twiggy sticks are not.
Decided I'm actually not going out today. The weather is just terrible and I want to sit outside lol
Will probably go on Wednesday arvo, as the weather looks better
Time to hurry up and chill
Give us all a heads up on the time cause down for some b'day drinks :)
Artemis II Integrity Capsule has safely splashed down. I admit I got a bit teary. ๐๐๐ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNFcP1QfSp0
So good. Textbook. I think I saw 3,200,000 peak viewers on the NASA YouTube livestream.
Is anyone here, or does anyone know, a builder in the Preston/Thornbury kinda area who can do commercial fitouts? Nothing high spec, just enough to satisfy council permits and get me started pouring beers. ๐
