    I’ve seen the ads for the Cartier exhibition at NGV and I know the setup for a heist movie when I see one

      I’ve been to see it, it’s worth going. The pieces are stunning, incredible artistry and workmanship. Not to mention the awe of how much $$$ it must all be worth! But yes, I can see the movie plot unfolding too! (I assume they will enter as normal, wait until the gallery closes, change into slinky black jumpsuits and dance through the lasers. Some tech genius will be hiding in an air duct to unlock the front door and cancel any alarms so the thief then just walk out and blends in with the crowd)

        I’m thinking classic fake-out. Someone does an obvious bungle trying to steal them and the rest of the crew scoop them up when the jewelry is being moved to another location

      Make your vote Count!

      Actually his policies are measurable and quite do-able. I look forward to having him as part of the UK government. If a comedian can fight and pretty much win a war against the Russian Federation, then another should be able to manage being a local representative.

      We as a nation should take notice of this phenomenon, as comedy/mockery is the one weapon a dictator simply cannot counter without adding to his/her problems.

            My fave quip in parliament

            Some politician stands up to give a speech, starts with

            “I’m a Country member” ( as in the Country Party )

            Fred Daly of the ALP yells out “I remember”

            Paul Keating used to torment John Howard with jokes all the time. Howard would get so angry he would be ejected by the Speaker

    New Adventures in Train Travel

    This time the train made a quick track change to avoid collision with a slow freight train ( train driver told us personally once we got to the next station and stopped, she was a bit shook up )

    we ended up on a different line and going to different stations

    that was a 1 hour extra trip

    at least no one hurt

        it would have been a dramatic crash, a very heavy slow moving freight train and an accelerating passenger train. Luckily the train had very few passengers, maybe 2 dozen

        once we knew what happened we were all grateful to the driver and happy we were safe

        in the train, immediately after the event , when we were safe, an announcement was made over intercom that the train was diverted , but no reason was given at that time

        once we were stopped at the next station and debarked the driver came out onto the platform talked to passengers in person

        coming out of Newport rail yard toward Seaholme there are many shunts and sidings

        I imagine there will a safety investigation. Why were the signals green? Why was the freight train there?

    I don’t understand why my feet are cold.

    I have socks. No other part of me is cold. It’s just my feet

      I was feeling super cold when I was low on iron but if its just feet maybe circulation. I stopped wearing my sneakers because my feet were getting cold on the dog walks.

    Getting cranky with courier companies today, they’re getting lazier and lazier. And this is from a pick up POV, not even drop off which I know is worse!

        Yeah same. I’m thinking before summer fully hits, I’ll shave another undercut. It’s been nice having long hair in winter; I tuck it into my jacket like a scarf lol

        But during summer it’s way too hot. I have fine hair, like the individual strands are fine, but I have SO MUCH of it it’s basically an incubator for my brain during summer. It’s just annoying because the undercut won’t grow out by next winter, so once I commit, that’s it until I shave and start over again lol

          I’m happy with warm clothes, but could use a break from wearing them all day. Just in the evenings would be fine.

    While I’ve had this cold, I’ve been lowkey obsessed with the game How Many Dudes by Butterscotch Shenanigans. It’s on the play store and it’s just so fun and funny.

    Like how many dudes vs 2 horses, 2 cougars, and 4 wolves? Lol and the classes are great fun, there’s so many cool characters like the Dude Whisperer and Dude Merchant. My favourite classes so far are Druid Dudes, their bear form is ridiculous.

    Well, that should be everything for Fairtrade Fortnight done. I did a sneaky mostly working on Coffee stuff today, but that means no late night tonight, which will benefit regular work tomorrow
