Got tired of my yt-algo so I looked up how to delete my history, pretty easy actually. Hopefully whatever it re-learns about me doesn't send my down a pile of right wing kak. I'll need to watch a bunch of lindybeige and philosophy tube to refocus it on my interests.

I seem to have been cursed by smoke detectors. There is some humour in this one seemly being able to read a calendar.
Wide awake at a quarter to five. Loving this cool weather, the heavy doona is so comforting.
I need to move back to the heavy doona, I've still got my light summer doona on the bed and needed the electric blanket last night.
As a bonus that means I will get to use one of my new (to me) fancy patterned flat sheets I was given, which will match the doona covers for the heavy doona perfectly. I have king sized wool doonas for winter & have moved to folding them between two sheets instead of using an actual cover, which is easier to change (especially because the covers have shrunk or something and don't fit well). I like the patterns on my covers so I have cut and hemmed them to be the flat sheet on top and the two patterned sheets I was given will match them really well as the folded over top sheet.
I've also moved to having flat sheets on the bed instead of fitted. I was getting frustrated with fitted sheets that had been cut without enough fabric on the sides and with dodgy elastic, so I was planning on making fitted sheets from the flats, but I have found that just using them as is has been working fine too so I think I'll just stick with that.

Does anyone know of an animal rescue or shelter that takes strays?
The ones I've tried just say to contact the council and that's not going to lead to a positive outcome.

Thus ends the late Sunday night adventures for the forseeable future.
Goodnight all β€οΈ
later dudes, π
I've taken the next step in reducing Microsoft's presence in my life: I've just notified my mother that I'm cancelling my subscription at the next renewal and she will be back on the free plan.
It is not much of a sacrifice as I still have full access to all the programs through both work and uni, but I won't be paying them (which was primarily for my cloud storage). I might look at LibreOffice at some point, but the main thing I use is a complicated spreadsheet for my budget and it is highly likely something will break if I try it in a different program.
You can load the spreadsheet in libre office and check it out for free. Load up a copy in case it fucks with the original and ruins your life.

LIbre office is good. It can do everything Office can but the layout is a little different so you may need to just find where some options are. It's good to have Office in some form available as a backup

Vehicle finances are worked out and I have a short list of vehicles to look at on Wednesday. Hopefully number 1 on my list will be ok (and still available) and I don't have to keep looking. I don't really enjoy looking at cars. Don't tell the salesmen, but I'll probably pay more just so I can get it over and done with.
The one I am looking at is just out of warranty period and is sold through a Ford dealership that offers a three year mechanical warranty on the used cars. Would it make sense for me to skip the vehicle inspection in this case?

Iβve removed and hidden that brick :/
The pumpkins have been hand pollinated and buds/leaves wiped down where necessary. There were a few more female flowers open so I hope I get some fruit.
I weighed the remaining foil pan down with a partial brick to prevent the wildlife water from tipping over but given my area Iβm now wondering if thatβs a good ideaβ¦ one of the druggie fuckwits could impulsively throw that right through my window. It would be on camera so I could get them charged and have proof I wasnβt responsible for the damage but itβs still not a nice thought.
My stomach is so angry -_- Being stressed all the time just doesnβt help. Having another test today.
Good luck with your test β€οΈ
Thanks
still got tons of buds on my butternut as well but only 1 fruit so far.
Butternut are the best
they would be if they grew haha
Next time I plant early π
I find they really started to get going when I gave them more fertiliser though.
mine were planted cup day. I think yeah crappy soil and not enough fertilizer was my mistake.
The police won't do shit about footage of a junkie throwing a brick through your window.
Probably not. Iβve done this dance before.
But I would need the police report and proof of it not being me so I donβt have to pay for damages or get kicked out.
Didn't sleep last night, at least I felt like I didn't
That will serve me right by making two brewed coffees yesterday.
This is going to be a long day and painful day.
windy here, trees are making tree noises π
