It is! I had to tinker with the photo on my phone to try and get it to look like what it actually looks like and it's still not exactly the same as in person, but it's pretty close
Maybe borrow a dog for a while. Hambam? I would imagine being licked to death by a border collie would be enough to discourage even the most ardent feef.
I'm sorry mate. I've had cooked people repeatedly try to get into mine before and it is an awful hypervigilant feeling.
Time to Home Alone it? Whatever makes you feel better. Perhaps with luck a pile of pots and pans in front of the entry point will alert neighbours/break the intruder's neck.
At least someone told them to go home. Been in a workplace where the boss didn’t care. Everyone kept getting sick from this guy who would refuse to stay home when sick.
Patted this seemingly friendly boi while visiting a friend (stray/neighbourhood cats are common in this country), he was enthusiastically rubbing himself all over me and enjoyed being picked up by my friend, but once I scritched his cheek he loved it for 2.5 seconds and then flipped a switch and gave my hand a very deep chomp that literally struck a nerve 🥲 went to a GP just to be sure and got some oral and topical antibiotics.
I have been having shit luck with cats here this time which is sad.
So last night's attempted home invasion has brought me to bringing a golf club to bed. I have chosen a 5 iron.
But seriously worrying about this shit was not on my 2023 bingo card.
So I'm now in the process of working out how much paranoia is healthy. Like do you set up a little random timer for a light(s), a camera would be pointless after the fact. The motion sensor out the front works but wasn't a deterrent.
Rationally, statistically it's not common. Seeing it first hand is making me irrational.
I had an attempted break in a few years ago during the day. They ran when they saw me appeared at the window. Never returned. If the attempted home invasion was more of a thief nature rather than a robbery nature I’d say you’ll be fine.
Cameras can sometimes be a deterrant, and the ones you can see through an app on your phone can quickly reassure you that a sound was just a possum. Or can let you know if there's anyone sus outside, giving you the jump to get out the back door and/or call the cops.
Give yourself a break. You've been through a shaking experience and don't need to beat yourself up about your reactions
Well i feeling down and couldn’t resist therapy shopping and eating wven though it makes me feel awful that I’m spending money when I’m trying to save.
I’ve spent the last of my money on chicken wings and a pack of half price kranskies to drown myself into oblivion over the coming days.
Playing around with the vplates website for a laugh (I can't see me bothering with custom plates) and this is available for someone who wants to express their road rage through their plates:
I'm so tired of trying to be positive all the time. There's now actually a genuinely shitty attitude bleeding through because I can't seem to be treated respectfully or catch a break.
Went for a night cruise to get better acquainted with the car. I had concerns that the subwoofer wasn't doing much but once I jiggled with some settings and found the right music the bass came to life big time. She rumble. Also, I'm not sure what dark magic controls the headlights but it was able to use auto high beams while behind a car without high beaming the car. Technology is rad. OH and speaking of.. adaptive cruise control in this thing allows going all the way to a full stop which is nuts. I was using adaptive in the USA and when that got below I think 28 miles per hour it just turned cruise control off.
My neighbour is out trimming their tree on the fenceline. Which is a good thing, but a bit confronting as he is on a ladder and can see directly into my lounge room. I will have to try not to do anything too embarrasing for a while.
Sometimes I feel old because words don’t have the same meaning they used to. Cute used to mean adorable like a kitten. But now people will call a glamorous dress cute, or a sunset, or almost anything at all that looks vaguely nice. But now what I don’t know, is what is the new word for cute?
Flat day today, cold, I'm tired and been told that I have to work at another site one day a week for the rest of the tear, which I'm not very happy about.
Guess I have to do what I'm told as it's been pass through all the various management channels.
Watching Life on Our Planet and have to say, it's a bit shit... It's not really even pretty enough to excuse the lack of cohesive story. The first episode was probably the worst, it was like some never ending trailer that cut just as you got interested.
