Can you visit? I find trees are very calming too, maybe there is a large park easier to get to than the beach. Walk through a park with large trees is always refreshing for me.

I swear bandaids used to be better. I’m talking like 20 years ago. They seemed to stay stuck better and weren’t as goopy when removed. Perhaps it is in my imagination, or I’m the only one that’s noticed the great bandaid enshitification.

We have uniforms at work so what we wear isn't generally an issue, but if someone 'important' is coming we get instructions to tidy up our desks. Usually they don't end up coming anywhere near us, at best we see them on the other side of the room.

May the time your legs are entirely enclosed be as short as absolutely possible 🙏

spring -> autumn means shorts only

How? How do you not feel the chill? I see other people out and about with shorts or a shirt on on days like this and I'm stunned every time.

First impressions and all that, it was worth all your effort

I'd forgotten about the whole long weekend thing - the joys of shift work!

Technically I guess mine's going to be really long, because I have 60 hours of work scheduled between Friday and next Thursday, so it's going to be long in all the wrong ways.

It's good you've got the shopping done already, people seem to love crowding the shops at the start of a long weekend.

winning 🙂👍

I bought a giant bottle of mateus at costco the other day, been very slowly working on it

Good morning Seagoon. The world smiles at you today 😊

Maybe it's time to invest in one bro.

You can get little portable compressors, easy to keep in the boot. Often have multi function like flashing lights for emergencies and usb to charge your phone from. Handy.

I found this too, with riding my bike. So many places had broken air hoses that I started carrying my own bike pump in my backpack!

You have inspired me. I have my own compressor and my tyres were well overdue for checking, I went out and did that just after reading your post!

Then I got on a bit of a roll, I've now cleaned the windscreen (which had way too much bug residue) topped up the wiper spray fluid and checked what sort of headlight bulbs I need so I can replace those. The manual is useless and just tells you to replace the bulbs with the same type, but doesn't tell you what that is. And it turns out to get to the bulb is a bit of a pain in the butt - it looked like it should be easy, but where it is positioned is jammed against other parts which make it really hard to manoeuvre, so that took way longer then I anticipated. But at least now I can find out what sort of bulbs to order. I don't really want to wait for one to burn out, given I'm regularly doing night drives along the freeway now, only having one working headlight would be pretty nasty.

It's so frustrating, right?! Am glad that a Reddy close to work has a working one that I've even seen a tech attending to lately. Feels like a fuckin' unicorn! My car loves to throw a pressure warning as well, need to get that checked at it's 10k service.

I remember watching the 'making of' and behind the scenes for LoTR movies, on the dvds. I think it was a ridiculous amount of bts lol. It makes me miss the days of practical effects being the foundation, with CGI being a cherry on top.

I joke that my partner read the Bible (Catholic boi) and I read The Silmarillion/LoTRs.

I saw a short the other day from one of the bts, and the tech was talking about how they wanted a different, ethereal reflection in the eyes of Galadriel/Cate Blanchett, so they constructed a huge ring with Christmas lights on it to have it seem like she had stars in her eyes. She is by far my favourite character in the books, just ahead of Turin Turambar and Beren and Luthien. I reckon Turin Turambar's story would be such a dark movie adaption, I'm dying to see it made with love like LoTR!

I love the books so fucking much, I love the movies (not the Hobbit movies, they didn't need to add a lady elf to be a romance for Fili? Kili? One of them lol), I love the art book of John Howe, the maps he painted and the scenes he added are stunning. It's such a vastly rich world.

My only complaint is the lack of female characters; it's a very male-centric tale but not misogynistic; I think Tolkien wrote what he knew and he knew his wife so she's Goldberry, but other female characters (besides maybe Galadriel) are quite limited.

That's so cute, I love this kind of interaction! I'll bet you made their morning so much brighter!

🙂

just good people interaction 👍

It's all over the place. I don't feel 49. I'm a mother of a young adult which is still unbelievable because I feel youngish.... until I speak to those young adults and realise that yep I am in fact old.

It bounces around. Some days I feel level 11 old, but I reckon I’m a currently a 5. Do not have shit together that I should. And it’s an effort to climb back.

about a 4 , that's how I feel

I know I'm a 10
