Oh that's nice. Woke up to a notification from my camera. 7:13, somebody I've never seen before walked down my driveway and then down to my side gate. I don't know if they opened it and went beyond there

They look dodgy, maybe homeless, but not really robber material. Sleeves that went beyond and covered their hands, baggy half fallen down pants, and dirty shoes. Their face wasn't covered, and it doesn't look like they stole anything. Only stayed 20 secs or so

I don't necessarily think that they came to cause harm. But it still freaks me out. My side gate doesn't fully close, either, but I'm waiting on it to be fixed. Some rusted metal has pushed part of it out, so the latch can't be put into place, so I can't padlock it. But it does close somewhat if I push it enough

Can you put a floodlight in?

While waiting for it to get fixed, maybe a bike lock if a padlock canโ€™t reach, to lock the gate? Or even a chain with a padlock?

That always a bit scary. I always wonder if I'll wake up to a weird notification from my doorbell but fortunately it hasn't happened yet

Whaaaaat, catch.com.au is finally shutting down after being around for so long. Barely used it but I wonder why, I guess they can't compete with the likes of amazon/temu etc

That's a shame. I've used it a bit and I will miss it.

Tonight I am listening to Wonderful Wireless, an old LP with all the old Aussie radio shows. Here's the 1937 Dad and Dave https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3b9MYqLATY

They have the radio version of You're Shout ๐Ÿป https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65qdMttVaEo

Assessments knocked out. 3 of them are 13 hours late, but oh well. I had to read through a bunch of fictitious workplace policies, which just wasn't happening last night

I've still got some time and motivation, so I'm gonna try and get a little ahead on a couple of things

[โ€“] Baku@aussie.zone 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm not going to post tomorrow's DT, so if anybody else would like to, go for it
