No waves in the ocean tonight which makes it SCARY. Waves sort of force you to jump under and takes the mind off the shock. You’re either cleaned up or not. When it’s still, like glass, it is all on you to make the first move and if I remember my teenage years at house parties I was always too shy to do that.
Scrubbed window down with alcohol wipes. I’m going to use neat vinegar on the painted sill because I am not colour matching gloss paint to fix it if it goes gummy. I have it open for a short time but this is a window where I can’t safely leave it or the blind open.
Avoiding the mending hamper…
Get a damp cloth and sprinkle some clove oil on it and wipe down where you’ve already wiped. And then wait. It will probably work.
Intermission

I’m trying to listen to a very serious audio book here 😹
love this song so much, one of my faves growing up hold your head up Argent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvfxI9yD2dM
I have a neighbour who’s a drummer. The marching band kind, not the death metal kind. I love hearing them practice. They’re a couple of houses away I think and it’s lovely and soft and rhythmic.
Just got curious and looked up an old train site I really liked - https://steam4me.net/. Unfortunately, it seems it’s been taken down. The man who ran the site - Yuri Sos passed away last year. He’d organised for his family to keep the site running through donations until 2030 (with the site fully funded to 2026 as of 2021). Unfortunately, it seems something fell through and it didn’t work out. It was shut down in March, apparently.
I was quite sad to hear of his passing, he had a large section of his website devoted to an old train sim from the early 2000s (Microsoft Train Simulator) which was run entirely out of passion, pretty much. AFAIK, it was also the largest host of Australian MSTS content still up. And even though it hasn’t changed very much since the pre 2010s, and most other comparable websites that still exist have download limits, popup ads, and bandwith limitations, it didn’t have any of that. It was, to quote the website, “where “stuff” just works, first time every time”.
I downloaded a ton of assets and packs from there in 2021/22 because I was afraid it might suddenly vanish and be lost to time, like most other niche sites from the 90s, but it just kept running and running, and I was also worried it might overwhelm their servers. I actually looked it up today, because I wanted to try and crawl it and slowly log all of its links into a spreadsheet, then make sure everything was archived onto the Wayback Machine. Thankfully, it does seem that everything has been archived onto WM (although it’ll obviously be subject to the wayback machine’s lovely 40kbs-ish download speeds
RIP Yuri
Wth’s happening with all the songs
I’m doing my best Baku. I’m not very good at typing.
I’m more confused about what they’re for and why they’re here. Are they to do with the football or olympic?
Yeah nah it’s just Aussie hour.
I’m so confused
I’m spamming the thread to reach 300.
Oh, ok. I’ll spam back at you to reach 400!
Maybe we could go a step further and pass 700, breaking our record for most comments? 👀👀 (75% serious suggestion)
This is hilarious. I acquired a best of Cold Chisel cd without case from a long ago party. Nobody ever fessed up to bringing it.
On the migraine train today…
Think this has been my worst one yet.
gentle hugs
cups of tea, toast, aspirin and a quiet dim room
Literally on the ground laughing
How did you know?
Compared against some mates around a campfire, you know how it is!
Lol 😂.
It’s like the divers Bacon/Cook. The Man cheered them on.
I don’t fold it in half for anyone so only work with feet and metres
Know what I am saying
Massive week in Hobart. My back is killing me. Nothing a frosty beverage can’t fix, Cheers 🍻
🍺
Bloody hell, it’d be literally frost down there. That’s cooked
Melbourne mornings have actually been colder last few days. Lucky you🍀
Booooooooo
I was in Hobart once in winter on a day when Melbourne was colder, and I knew because every single person I met told me about it. They were very proud.
I don’t know any other way to do it. Lol
See how do I do that without screen shooting it first. Please tell me master.
How do you do that?
I went and found an image on my phone. Copied it then came back here in the voyager app and pasted it.
Copy and paste always works on a desktop when I’m need emojis.
On my app though it failed a few times before it worked.
Edit: to clarify I did a Google search for an image.
Excellent. I will be asking more questions tomorrow.
I don’t like spiderbait, but I do know them. I sometimes play old hottest 100 playlists as background noise
