    So nice to have Fisk back on as a cozy Sunday night treat. Just lighthearted and relatable and low key. The North Melbourne trams are like their own character. Also: I have been guilty of steaming milk so loudly it sounds like a pig being slaughtered 🙋‍♀️

    Looking forward to Aaron Chen’s character’s grandma next week.

    Speaking of other cozy shows I binge-watched Ludwig over the past two nights; nice little romp as well. Recommended if you like David Mitchell.

    Shrinking S2 is on too and I’m looking forward to that on Wed/Thu now that Slow Horses s4 is over.

    Ladies and gentlemen, enbies, kitties and potats…I am going to clean up from dinner and go to bed. I don’t even care how early it is. I am stuffed. Night all

      Ninigh. You gotta do what you need to to recharge. That’s often more important than the "should"s we tell ourselves to do.

      I’m gonna watch Fisk at 8pm and then call it a night too and do most of the cleaning tomorrow.

    Now earwigs want a piece of my seedlings… unfortunately for them I employ an organic pest control system called ‘yeet’

    Does anyone here own a weighted blanket?

    Was thinking of one with the idea that it might help me sleep at night.

      Does anyone here own a weighted blanket

      yeah but instead we call it existential dread. Still weighs heavily but it’s free.

        I might give the dread a pass.

        Does seem to come with a few negatives I’d love to avoid.

      No, but I have a cat that likes to lie on top of me in bed. Does not help me sleep. Especially when purring loudly into my ear.

      I do. It has worked at times, but not always.

      I am a heavy layers/blanket peep. I tend to find I sleep better with a bit of weight.

      I think I prefer the weighted blanket if I’m not feeling great, or maybe for a nap. Even after owning it for a few years, I’m still trying to figure out how it works best for me.

        Oh ok. I feel like I kick the light ones off too easily sometimes.

        If I was going to get one it was going to be one of those Kmart ones.

        Oh ok.

        I do like the additional weight. More worried that it might get too warm or something.

      I don’t have one but I do layer blankets with a doona for the same effect. It’s hot though, so I do want a weighted one as well. I think it will help you if you like the feeling of heavy doonas

        I’ll give that a shot. Got this bottom knitted cotton blanket which is surprisingly heavy.

        I’ll chuck that on top tonight and see how it goes.

        My winter doona is very nice on really cold nights but too warm to use in spring and summer mostly.

    I have some work to finish up before tomorrow but I am seriously thinking of just having a shower and going to bed. I am so tired today.

    Had some stuff done a few months ago on the roof. Turns out the dudes just cut the downpipe and used a brick to keep it in place without reconnecting it. I only worked that out the other day after that rain.

    Was wondering why the rose next to it was having a great time:

    Should be an easy fix (was just gonna use PVC glue and that PVC rubber tape stuff) but jeez a bit of a poor effort. Getting people in for such small jobs (or getting them back to fix their fuck ups) is hard today.

    Overnight (our night) there have been strange reports coming in from agricultural hubs around the world. Cows and similar bovines appear to have all at once changed their signature “moo” sound, puzzling farmers, biologists, and even physicists. The sound these bovines are now making has been described as follows:

    GOOOOOOOONseeGOOOOONseeGOOOOOOON

    Edit: it appears that birds capable of producing human sounds have also begun what can only be described as a chant
