Welcome to Numbat Facts.
Numbats are the only member of the family Myrmecobiidae. This saves them a great deal of money not buying presents this time of year.
I shot my first fly!!!
Only 17 quadrillion flies to go!
It's cocked and loaded. I'm ready.
Dins!
Again not a soul on that beach was perfect.
None of us are
Rothenburg Christmas market! Unfortunately it closed so early that we didnโt get to go to it after dinner, which was sad. Also the famous Plonlein. Rothenburg is so beautiful. If you like beautifully preserved medieval walled cities, this is a gem.
I don't want to take anything away from the numbats appreciation week but can we spend a moment admiring the late David Bowie's fashion sense. It's quite a mild look this month.
Walking the doggo and a fly went up my nose....and didn't come out. I guess that's it then. It's been nice knowing you all.
You need to get @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone to shoot it out.
๐ซ
you should change your name to CEOvonFlyShooter
That's 2 flies down today. 16.9 recurring quadrillion to go!
Dinner has been eaten and I'm still hungry. I was very close to eating the portion set aside for lunch tomorrow.
I think this calls for an emergency apple crumble. With custard.
Geez this flight to Canberra is packed and hot! Pretty chuffed with myself that I got everything done on time - dishes, bins, all the packing, really glad for this baggage scale I got from my brother as the gate staff were steadfastly checking all the carry on bags... For a 42 minute flight. Even though I don't have the satisfaction of having finished all my work projects I'm glad to be getting away!
This is a PSA. The BBL (big bash league) starts tonight at 7:30 with Brisbane Heat and Melbourne Stars. I know what youse are thinking yeah we love cricket but for those who have never watched it's a 20/20 game that's quick, fun and you get to watch a lot of slogs into the stands for charity.
Some players are mic-ed up and have a little banter with the commentators for a real feel good game. So guys get on it and support one of our Melbourne teams. Either the Melbourne Stars (green) or the Melbourne Renegades (red).
P.s. Stars home ground is the MCG. The Renegades is at Marvel. Melbourne and Sydney are the only 2 states to have 2 teams in the comp.
when netflix fucked off password sharing, we cancelled our subscription.
I'm house sitting for a friend for a few days, and have just spent about half an hour mindlessly scrolling netflix and can't find a single thing I want to watch that I haven't already seen.
I feel even better about my decision.
Edit: I lied, I half-heartedly watched the Beckham thing
The Minipeelers have a curriculum day today due to the school concert last night, so I have one element of my morning hustle eliminated. I get to enjoy breakfast, get myself ready for work and swan off ๐ฆข
School concert was pretty funny in parts.. hats off to the enthusiastic fortnite dancing of grade one boys dressed as spiderman, brought the house down!
Work Christmas party tomorrow. 12.30 knock off and free calories. excellent ๐ Edit: it also seems to be the season indeed. Few work mates and I all wanted after works drinks and the first two places we tried were reserved for private functions!
So I finally finished Only Murders in the Building. Maaaan that was not the best season hey. It lost so much of itself. I mean, they hardly did any podcasting at all. Hope they can right the ship for season 4.
๐น going through my folders and found this old collaborative thingamybob. Peacocks, cowboy aliens, dinosaurs, and a FSM dispensing much plonk.
Welcome to my brain, it is a tad different
It would be really nice if something encouraging happened. Just saying
the weather is beautiful and the evenings are soft and warm and the trees smell sweet ๐
Be me,
Kinda chillin', a little nervous as the first of a new server build is shipping to site today (and this thing is an entirely bespoke build, from chassis to OS)
husband bursts in

Punkin: I am a cat. I detect this is now the perfect time to be an arsehole, for I am a cat with finely tuned reflexes, let me JUMP ON YOUR DESK AND FLATTEN YOUR KEYBOARD AS IF FIRED FROM A CANNON mwahahahahaha moustache twirl
Bastards are lucky I got the mum friend gene is all I'm sayin'.
Sat as a passenger in a Tesla for a fair bit today and it's honestly mind boggling how so many people want to have a car with a giant arse touchscreen and almost no physical controls. There is way too much going on in that screen.
yah, I was in a Toyota hybrid the other day, it was nearly all touch screen, including starting the car and brakes, it was also very quiet
Google's Gemini is seriously impressive. It's insane how quickly this AI boom has progressed and I can't wait to see the next 12 months of it.
Darebin Library has stopped using Libby and just supports BorrowBox now. Kobo's can't run BorrowBox - this was the whole reason I bought a Kobo for my kid - boo Darebin - booooooooooooooooooooooo
You can get a library membership from basically any other library in Victoria so try the others :D I think Merri-bek offers Libby. Sign up to their libraries here: https://www.merri-bek.vic.gov.au/exploring-merri-bek/libraries/join-the-library/
