    Good news is nearly all my taste is back. Bad news is I have this lingering taste and smell that I can’t seem to shake off.

    Little dog comes trotting out of the kid’s bedroom “look what I found mummy” and he has a wafer biscuit hanging out of his mouth. He is such a dibber dobber.

    Decided to take the rest of the week off and head down the bellarine.

    Shout out to the train inspector / announcer…

    “We are now arriving at the magical station called geelong… station”. He has seen things.

      The weirdest thing I’ve seen in Geelong is a toddler having a poo under a tree and her dad bag it up and pop it in the bin. It may have been my own family. I pretended it wasn’t.

    Feeling extra tired today. Can’t place if it’s mental or physical fatigue. I have played 8 hours of tennis over the last 3 days. But I could play all day long if my body allowed me to 😅

    Super excited that my new apt has a tennis court!! Moving there in a couple of weeks 😇😇

    Sometimes I long for the days when you had to be on your computer to get online and it felt like a treat. we have been utterly spoiled by smartphones. I don’t know if I can ever quite untether myself.

    1st November means it is time for the next phase of The Diet. Aiming for another 5kg by Christmas/New year.

    I can’t say I did well on the exercise phase, and completely failed to get in to a routine of doing strength training. I did do a decent amount of exercise in the form of gardening, but I need to reassess my ongoing exercise plans.

    The cat just griefed me in Minecraft

    Edit: She’s a great player for someone without thumbs. Autojump was on so by sitting on the keyboard she was able to run the character around and flatten some grass with the shovel. But then she threw the enchanted shovel away somewhere and kept running. I never did find it to get it back

      Miss Meow likes to lie on top of the nice warm computer when I play. Unfortunately the power button is also on top of the computer, and a well placed paw can lead to my computer suddenly turning off mid game.

      There was a good one: ezedvd was fantastic - good range, decent prices, fair shipping rates and speedy delivery.

      It’s a pity almost everyone stopped buying DVDs and Blu Rays.

    Already friggin November… I’m barely used to writing “2023” and it’s almost done. I feel like I ‘just’ turned 40 but that was back at the end of April. Time doesn’t march on… it can jog on.

      A “friend” once told me (when I turned 50) that as we get older time seems to go faster because each passing year represents a smaller percentage of our lives. So for example, for a 10 year old a year seems like a huge amount of time because they’ve only experienced ten of them, but for a 50 year old a year seems much smaller because they’ve experienced a lot more of them. I can see their point and it feels like they could be right, but gee fucking thanks, fuck.

        This has certainly been my experience. And doubly so talking about events with kids. I’ll talk about photos of them and the days they were taken. They often don’t remember events that feel really recent for me. I don’t mean baby photos, but photos where they were 5+.

    I’m actually out of work I can do at the moment, and will likely not be able to do anything for the rest of the week. No more meetings for today either. I’m going to have to find some training to do or something! Or… *looks at golf clubs*
