No impact to domestic gas. Only liquid fuels come out of the Geelong refinery. Specifically the petrol plant was on fire. They say they can still produce diesel but at reduced capacity. Natural gas for homes comes from different sources and processed at gas plant at Longford, so is unaffected. However the cost of running the electric appliances might be cheaper, so could be worth it from that point of view.

The refinery fire is unfortunate. I hope we don’t have to go to restrictions but I’m not sure the government can encourage people to voluntarily reduce consumption by 10%. Might affect VIC disproportionately because can petrol be redistributed from the other states quickly anyway. Hopefully free public transport is extended, and increase frequencies would be good too.

Could it be that they use a back door, or drive in out of garage, so haven’t seen the food? Also not everyone checks their emails everyday, so possible they haven’t see your message either. I guess that’s the optimistic view. If not, maybe you can ask them if they still want to keep the cat. Tell them you can organise a rescue org to collect it for them. It’s sad, but some people just hope their cat will go away if they keep putting it outside.

Good news on the meds and grief counselling. You are taking steps to recover even though it’s really hard. Melbcat would have wanted you to be well. Maybe you can look at it that she’s giving you strength from beyond the rainbow bridge. You got this.

Went to Book of Mormon over the weekend. It’s a great show, so many laughs. The actor that played the sidekick (forgot the character name already) was absolutely brilliant.

Heater is on. Hoodie deployed. Porridge for breakfast.

You’re doing amazing. Sounds like the suboxone was the right choice at the time, things could have kept spiralling had you not made that choice. Be proud that you looked after yourself, no regrets. The medication has now done its job, you’ve moved forward, congrats on the one year! It’s a huge achievement especially in the context of those stats. Wow. Well done.

I’d keep it. The law is probably meant for the wildlife trade, so people don’t kill endangered animals for their feathers/fur etc. If it’s a naturally shed feather you found in your yard it’s fine.

No mercy. Stealing someone’s office mug is a heinous crime. Stare her down and demand it back.

What do you mean by illegal? To collect a feather from the ground?

 

This year I grew tomatoes, and found rats are stealing them. I am certain it’s rats because I have seen them. Have tried netting the tomato plants, but rats found ways in. Called an exterminator to bait in the roof and under house. Feel ambivalent about it, because if a predator bird takes an affected rat it may get ill. But I’m located deep in suburbia and have never seen an owl or eagle so I think it’s unlikely. Didn’t work though, still have rats. Have given up on the tomatoes, plants are destroyed. What are your strategies for ridding yourself of ratty pestilences?
