ta da, just finished reading a general text book on modern handwriting and calligraphy. I have learned much. One thing is that it is near impossible to have nice Modern Round English script, the script I was taught at school. It looks crap for nearly everyone and is hard to get to look right with thick and thin lines with a pointy pen.

Books on Italic handwriting scripts have been ordered. ๐Ÿ™‚

Today I also watched Young Fronkensteen. I think comedians often make movies with their friends so they can make jokes. Which is great too. ๐Ÿ˜ธ 3.5 hobbits .

Any ideas on where to go out tomorrow night for drinks? Usually I'd go to a bar or live music but wondering if anyone has summer evening suggestions

in this heat? arbory afloat or pony fish.

[โ€“] indisin@aussie.zone 5 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Yeah in this heat those sound like decent suggestions other than Arbory being stupidly priced, I'd only add Riverland or maybe Boat Builders but more of a walk for something even more casual.

Otherwise you're looking out for well cooled rooftop bars that are further out. There are some in the CBD like the rooftop cinema but others are a specific vibe.

Completely forgot that the Queenscliffe music fest. is on over the w/e.

Been hearing them do sound checks all day.

Brought up the line up.. only name I recognise is the wiggles sound system.

Not exactly slammin' Drum and Bass but I hope they play this Certified banger with none other than DJ DOROTHY

Last chance day for cupboard sales, all the leftovers are going out on the naturestrip. There should be a buyer picking up one this morning which means only two left over. It's been a bit tedious getting rid of them. but it is good to get the space back. Now I just need to move the tent - I've sold it three times already to people who never showed up.

Edit: plus a bonus typo for the day: just got asked if the cupboards are lovable (instead of lockable)

[โ€“] Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I guess if they were loveable you wouldn't be abandoning them on the side of the road

I have to visit a sort of lecherous client today (long story).

Then that's basically it. Just free roam around lol

5/10 - a couple of lucky guesses, but more unlucky ones. Story of my life.
