      That’s a view and a half.

      Weird story. Went to St. patricks cathedral with an ex and her aunt (who was a devout catholic). She was bangin’ on about how god was everywhere ‘like the internet’. ‘In walls, in the air’. A few hours earlier she asked me to set up her wifi / chuck in the router password on her phone to use ex’s internet at ex’s home… so I asked her if god forgets his password too.

      Didn’t go down too well.

    Good sirs, if you are going to have the balls to charge 25 dollars for a Calabrese salad then, for the love of god, the tomatoes better not be CRUNCHY. And the cheap arse everyday toms from the supermarket. 😡 It’s only three ingredients FFS.

    This is what I get for thinking I am going to have a little early treat because I have been disciplined this year so far. Back to home cooked.

    Okay I’m going to officeworks. What pens do you want?

    Edit: ok I’m back from the shop. I have pastel highlighters, 72 pack of Derwents, erasable ink pens some with double eraser, 4 colour pens enough for everyone, a Windsor and Newton purple, fancy green fountain pen, pack of pilot pens, and an mega multicolour pen. Also box of Bics because they are an icon, and everyone gets a multi pack of coloured post-its because they were near the cashier and who can resist them.

    New phone probably arriving today. As a kid would’ve been excited but not these days so got an el’ cheapo crappy one (oppo something or rather).

    Old iphone refuses to charge I think because of bringing into the ocean so many times and the charging port has corroded lol. Worth it though. Had to be replaced anyway but I’m glad it kicked the bucket doing what it loved.

        this is the leading argument in my mind to jump ship every so often. Samsung to iphone? Huge. Samsung to Samsung or iphone to iphone? meh. Running my poor 13 into the ground till theres something worth upgrading, like the 120hz display on the new pros.

      30-60 minutes with a new phone, and it looks identical to my old phone. If I took a screenshot of my phone from 10 years ago, it’d be close enough to my present phone as to be indistinguishable.

      Where they differ is the quality of the photos I take. I still took my DSLR around most of the time 10 years ago. I rarely bother these days. It still takes better photos, but the difference is not worth the effort unless I’m specifically going some place to take photos.

    Rode into work today for the first time and it’s a pleasant ride. This is also comparing a 15km ride to a 33km ride into the city. I also don’t have to cart a laptop to work, and I’m not towing a trailer full of kids which I usually do on the bike

    At least I’m up early, and hopefully I’ll sleep tonight.
