Here's the one that was sitting on my truck the other day.

Miss this girl. She loved trying to herd the waves when we took her for a swim in the lake. Half kelpie, half border collie. She would try and herd anything.

Had this little guy sitting on the back of my truck today. Pretty sure it's a moth of some kind, but don't think I have ever seen these colours before.

Got this far. That's the easy bit of the floor that's going under the bath. On to the shower recess next, which will involve a few tricky cuts to get the right fall down to the waste. For now though, it's time for smoko. My ears are ringing from the noise of the grinder I use to cut tiles.

Big day of tiling coming up so it's time for a substantial breakfast. Egg, bacon, a bit of chorizo and toast, all washed down with coffee.

All done. 4 chicken breasts simmering in a yoghurt and korma paste sauce, with carrots, broccoli and spinach because that's what I had in the fridge. Let it simmer down for half an hour then put some rice and naan bread on.

It all goes in one pan, chicken, korma paste, spices and seasonings. With a generous dollop of yoghurt.

Back to the bathroom today. Trying to get my head around how I'm going to tile around the waste and get my fall correct. Lots of cutting and measuring in my future.

And that's enough renos for today. Self levelling cement floor poured for the bath. Still have to cement the shower recess. Now to shower and get the cement dust out my nose and mouth. Good progress today.

Having finished the vanity last week. Now we're on to the bathroom proper. First step, get a bit of render on to give us a nice even surface for tiling.

Give me a single image from a film that immediately makes you hear the song from the soundtrack in your head

Found on FB. Apparently first spotted in Baltimore. No idea on the artist sadly.

Stencilled graffiti done in the style of a cave painting. It shows the silhouette of a Tesla Cybertruck with a swastika on the side. It is surrounded by simplified human figures posed as neolithic hunters with spears and bows and arrows attacking it, as shown by the spears already embedded in the vehicle.

Feeling better today and sick of being indoors so we took ourselves off for a ride. Ended up near Toowoomba and had a nice Devonshire tea, topped off with some sunshine, a nice garden and some old motorbikes.

Back on this bullshit today. Got some more tiles laid up the walls. And the mirror in place so we can tile round it. Then it's just the actual bathroom itself. Can I just win lotto so I can pay someone to do it all for me.

That's about it for today. We have to cut a timber kick panel for the base to match the top, fit the mirror and tile around it and up the side walls. Good progress for a few hours on a Sunday.

Starting the tiling on this vanity. Just getting everything lined up to start. First course glued in and looking reasonably neat by my standards.

Reaching into the freezer, he draws forth an intimate quantity of dried mushroom remnants. Psilocybe cubensis time. Head in a reasonable place, so we'll see where I am in an hour or so 😁.

This town occasionally scrubs up ok.

A tree lined boulevard stretches into the distance. It's night and everything is slick with rain, light reflecting off the ground , in the background a pair of high rise buildings, lit from within shine and are silhouetted against the rainy sky, which itself glows softly with the reflected light of the city beneath.
