"Your parcel is coming today"

My what now?

Oh, threads. Yeah I remember ordering those. Sounds like something I would do, to be fair.

Slack Friday

Good Morning Tiny Dancers.
This morning's coffee and shopping run was an exciting QUEST.
A massive low loader taking up the whole width of my narrow road.
No worries, thinks I, I'll turn off and go the backroads.

Nope. The backroad is blocked by a thingy whatsit, massive machine at 2km an hour.
Dodgy turn around (mostly avoiding the deep gutters) and back out the long way. Home a slightly less long way, with my triumphant coffee in hand.

At the cafe:
Sam: "Are you taking away again?"
Me: "Yep, work today"
Sam: "Ew, why?"
Me: "So I can afford to buy all these coffees"
Sam: "Ah, yeah good choice"

They're thinking of opening the coffee window on Christmas Day.

The school just sent a text message saying don't try emailing them today because of the Microsoft outage.

Is that even a word #Wordle 1,973 5/6*

Hi folks - there was a brief outage this morning when a local power failure initiated a controlled shutdown of our servers.

Things powered back up normally, and we should be fine now unless the power grid has problems again and what's the chance of that? 🙃

One of the assumed reasons to use Bitcoin is its alleged stability.

The current value is about 30% lower than it was a year ago.

If it had been a country's single currency, this would likely have been classified as hyper-inflation.

I try not to get caught up in the argument over what is our Australian culture, but I think I realised what it is. The egalitarian nature of our beaches and coastline. Almost universally free, all welcome, we look after each other and don’t steal towels. The Bermagui Blue Pool is nearly 100yo and worth a search on its history.

"Basically, it's a really bad year."
In a world of understatements, that one's a classic!

What in the TikTok generation bs of no attention span… is this 10-17mins per TV show episode?! 🫩 44mins no ads is how it should be. Probably more for stuff actually made for streaming.

They actually made a Camp Rock 3? Without Demi & it’s already dead to me.

*actually watches trailer*

Executive Producer Demi Lovato?! 🤯 Did not see that coming in million years. What.

It's taken me all week, but I'm ready to face Friday tomorrow.

My favorite scooter trick is not crashing while I say hi to random cats. 😂 the urge to turn towards them however 🙈
