OK. I'm not an expert on free speech legislation, but if you can't get Christian or Muslim authorities to agree that it's good, it's probably not good. Just sayin.

Things I could have done without on my birthday. A heat wave. A very ordinary brunch. A three month notice to vacate. A social event where apparently I failed to impress anyone. Now home. Gonna play Skyrim and console myself before despairing at the property market. #FML

Getting up with the sparrows for the first gym session of the new year - tricky. Having the place entirely to myself for an hour - great. No 'new year, new me' people yet - priceless.

Ah, that magical time of year when the Internet needs to remind me I have a birthday coming up. AKA the week that my sister asks me, "How old are you now?"

Heck, it is good to hang towels out on the line, get fresh air and sunshine on them. Here comes the sun #dodooododoo #itsallroght

Ugh. I've lived in this city long enough to learn that when Siri says "there's no chance of rain today" that I still may have to rescue my laundry #melbourne #melbourneweather

No new pictures, were you at mentally?

Today's management tip: the Teams emoji for (coffee) and (coffin) are very easily transposed. Be extra careful when posting your "good morning" post to the team...

At the GP, checking blood tests. Diabetes markers improving, Dr M shrugs. Next screen - cholesterol much improved. He raises an eyebrow. Next screen - liver enzymes… normal? Dr M damn near fell off his chair. He wants to check diabetes again in three months. I told him to brace himself #soberjourney

Message from Amazon driver - “How do I access your building?”. Message from Amazon driver standing at the front door of said building, staring directly at the doorbell. 99% of them are sharp as tacks, I swear.

Are you really a 50-something gym enthusiast if you aren’t mixing Metamucil with your pre-workout? Asking for a friend. Um. Anyway, life goes on.

Another Sunday

CN: Um... housework? The endless struggle with entropy? I think existential dread deserves a content warning.

It’s official - there are few things more humbling to a foodie than reorganising your spice collection. Garam masala from 2016, out you go.

Feeling good on a Sunday. Feeling positive! Let’s put a piece of IKEA furniture together… it’s been a good life

Had performance meeting with boss today. He assessed me at my higher level, announced that I have exceeded expectations and he will offer me opportunities to act at an even higher level. “Careful, you’ll give me a big head", I told him, which is how my people say, “Thank you”.

Yeah, working out is great (even at stupid hours of the morning) but have you ever turned up to a 24 hour gym that’s completely dark? Then, you swipe your phone for entry, all the lights and the TVs turn on, the Godawful music starts playing and you have the entire place to yourself? Bliss...

Not to blow my own horn too much, but this weekend I learned how to reverse sear a steak AND fold a fitted sheet. Still single, ladies… #nurturer #provider #linenfolder

A metaphor about candles - where I talk about work, life and where the two refuse to intersect. I'm sorry, the art is out of date and I can't fix it yet. Also, my Substack is there if you wish.

[CN: discussion of health. I’m fine right now, I promise.]

I love the review of Sandman Season 2 that complains that the series is “so pretentious it ruins everything”. I assume the author a) hasn’t read the original work or b) loves the original work way too much. I’m enjoying it so far.

crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their consultants

Saw Bring Her Back last night. Holy crap. I don't like to write "if you like that sort of thing" reviews of horror movies, but even if you think you do, think again. A remarkable film, but a whole lot to take in.
