All good now?...Bloody Powercor

I live in a court that's on 2 or 3 power grids, and seems like we were the only ones in the immediate area to lose power

It cans back on fully around 3am, but it was crazy how there was still a little bit of power coming to the house

I could turn the tv on, but the aerial didn't enough power supply to work so no reception. The lights were on for the NBN device thingy, but couldn't actually connect to wifi. While the oven clock stayed on, but it kept flickering & making weird noises

So after 2am one night and then after 3am the next night before i finally fell asleep, I'm hoping tonight will be earlier

Hey Spazz, I’m so so but overall been pretty good.
Tbh if Quartararo hadn’t of gone out when he did I was about to switch it off, luckily I persisted with it and saw Jack get the win!

Eddie McGuire was really good on Classified just before, his tribute to Frank Costa was very well said.

Is good your good. Don't see you much these days.
I was flat out hoping Fabio's bike would f**k up. And he did!
Was so awesome to see him get the win.

It's not yet midnight and I'm nice & snug in bed with sheets all nearly tucked in

Now to put the TV on sleep mode, and drift off to sleep myself as I watch The First 48

And maybe aim for more than a couple of hours sleep

The one i bought for covid is still in the cupboard untouched

 

[Shell]

It sucks, because the built-in desk in my room is something like 5-10cm too narrow for the width of the puzzle.

Otherwise I would have given it a go by now.

 

[cats_09]

I bought a MDF board from Bunnings for about $10 and use that to do puzzles on - easy to move around if needed, and keeps the table free

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

I got mine on the table I bought to build my Titanic this time around bc it’s a smaller puzzle. Where is my other puzzles were all big and have them on a card table but then put a big board on top of that especially made for doing my puzzles on, someone Ik made it for me!

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

No wonder I can’t get motivation to start my puzzle when it’s 10.6 degrees but only feels like 3.8 degrees…

 

[Shell]

Yeah I reckon I'll have to break out the jacket from now on.


Not quite glove or scarf weather yet tho.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Got my Geelong Cats hoodie on today. Always good when it’s really cold, best jumper I bought from Cats Shop. Too bad haven’t really got to wear it to the footy yet though. Haven’t been this year either.

 

[Shell]

Ive still got a grey geelong hoodie- bought it from the family day at the Zoo in 2001. Day after my 21st.

I ****ing love that jumper- its my go to one around the house, or when im sick I'll wear it to the doctors. /only time I'll pretty much wear it in public lol.
