Last Notes npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser I took myself by surprise and did a housework. Please clap. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser I should be trying to sleep but I'll stay online until there's some clarity about What Is Going On. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser There are a number of familiar elements in this story. Solidarity. (Especially about the vacuum cleaner.) npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Gardening. Not as messy as murder. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Will there be scope for naps during the day? npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser 1:47am. Insomnia gets so tiresome. Might go and check on the leftovers in the fridge, make sure they're okay. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Good grief. I can't even feed a family of one for $50, and it's been a while since that was feasible without the cook having a breakdown. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Important bandicoot news. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Looking for a good reliable adblocker to run on an Android tablet. All recommendations welcome, but please don't tell me about any technical details (or Linux, for that matter) because my eyes will just glaze over. All I need to know is that it works... npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Ran out of money. I have about $2.50 until Thursday. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Thinking about the shortbread I left in the shop this morning. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser I'd say something about having to draw the line somewhere but I'm tired and can't get it to work. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Is it just me, or is time running very slowly this morning? The last three hours have been spread out over at least five hours and it's quite unsettling. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Redefining the borders of vulgarity. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser It's after 5pm on a Saturday and I'm asking myself why I'm slumped in an armchair alternating between reading a book and scrolling this site when I could go to bed and read/scroll with even less effort. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser 7am. I have been outside to see what SA Water has done. Half a job, apparently. No more fountain, which was the point of the exercise and is good, but the dirty great hole has been filled in a manner traditionally described as 'rough as guts' so they'll be back for more. They've set up a roadworks zone with a legally-enforceable 25kph speed limit and a corresponding "END ROADWORK" sign four (4) metres further down the street. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser 4am. Waiting for daylight to work out what SA Water did overnight. They were quieter than usual, but were they any more effective? npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser 8:18pm. The sound of heavy machinery outside, reversing. Could it be SA Water, come to prevent sleep? npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Very much so. No wonder they look bored when they get here. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser In my ancestors' case, the father of the family carked it soon after arrival. That didn't help matters. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser That is fun. Dad's male-line ancestors turned up here in 1854, but ended up in the destitute asylum (now the Migration Museum) pretty soon after that. Things have improved since. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Progress! A bloke from SA Water is out there now, painting arcane symbols on the kerb and on bits of the road that are dry enough to retain paint. He doesn't look happy. Fair enough, nobody looks gleeful right now. I'm just hoping that they don't send in the heavy machinery at midnight this time. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Any day now. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Oh how nice, a new fountain! Water coming up out of the road, a mere 5 metres from my letterbox... So I've spoken to my pals at SA Water, who claim that they'll be here within a few hours. Time for me to fill buckets and basins, again, it's a very damp form of déjà vu. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Should I go to the chemist today for routine stuff, or save it for something to do next week? npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Don't worry about it. What's the connection to Glenelg Town Hall? npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Migraine has mostly passed. Now I just feel generally unwell. Great. I must make some plans for tomorrow so I can cancel them. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser I don't recall, but I am a bit daft at the moment. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Halfway back to town. Not going to the market. I think I've got enough time to get myself home before some migraine-based fun gets a proper start. But I got out of the house and that's good. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser If you're ever in Adelaide and want a day at the beach, shun Glenelg. Go to Semaphore. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Could have been nice, but it was Glenelg. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Glenelg. New paving, new street plantings, some new pointless shops, some old shops missing. Still utterly charmless. There'll be a tram out of here shortly. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser I've blocked the entire instance. I don't think there were any himans using it. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser The rain is properly wet this morning. I'm on a nice dry tram, for the moment. Or maybe I should go to the beach... Yeah. I'll do that. Ten minutes at the beach, then the tram back to the market. Delaying the horrors. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser At the bus stop, so that's the hard part done. I am allowing myself $20 and not a cent more, so that rules out most of my usual market shopping. But the shopping's not the point, being out of the house is the point. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser I've thought of more things that I could do today, more places I could go, and have decided against all of them until payday. Stupid cashflow. I'm left with the possibility of going to the market to see if my favourite brand of ginger in a jar is available anywhere at all now that the biggest Chinese supermarket is gone. So I have a sense of purpose and that counts for a lot. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Thursday. It's a market day. I could go to the market, but would I just be annoyed by people? Yes. If I stay home, will I just fret and doomscroll and mope? Yes. So I have to decide which option would be worse. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser I am very tired this afternoon. Mentally drained. Can't think what brought this on. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser They're healthier that way. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser I went somewhere predictable and am now on the way home with baked goods and potato products and the feeling that maybe restocking the pantry isn't pointless and futile after all. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Bus stop. Two cheers for bus stops. Not entirely sure where I'm going yet, probably somewhere comfortingly familiar. The main thing is being out of the house for a bit. (A bit of what? Don't know. It doesn't matter.) npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser It looks like it's fresh out of the mould and ready for the green glaze. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser I was only ever whelmed by the flavour of choko, and the texture was that of something that had been boiled mercilessly. I could treat them more kindly now that it's my kitchen and my rules. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser I remember chokoes as prickly beasts. If they've bred the prickles out, have they changed anything else? npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser As the second, I feature in very few photos in the early 1970s family album. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser The bloke over the back fence seems to have a new hobby. Not sure if it's just repeatedly whacking one plank with another or if there's some deeper purpose. I hope he's happy. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Second child here. Yep. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser I don't often get thoroughly enthusiastic about a book, but I've just finished this one, "A Village in the Third Reich," and I'm going to give my brain some time off before I start another one. It's a sensitive and balanced picking-over of a hellish mess, decades after the event, with the input of many eyewitnesses. It reminded me a bit of "Montaillou" in its use of archival material, but there were no survivors to interview for that one. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Reality is awful this morning. I have to face the fact that I have nowhere to put more bookshelves. This means that I'll have to start culling before long. A terrible prospect. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Once again I've been eating healthy food and don't feel too good as a result. I'll learn, one of these days. The trick is not to buy it in the first place. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Yes, the local Germans have better veg than the local green ES. I'm still trekking to the good independent for first-rate veg, but I top up stocks at the German mob between expeditions. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Is it the green evil supermarket, or the red evil supermarket? My local green ES has a decent range of Indian foods, which makes up for their ironically awful fresh food. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Still, we do need more organ donors. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser In theory, I should get out of bed and do something with this day. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Do we score 6% just for being boys? npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser 6% for me. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Ultra-loud motorbikes after 1am. No. And there's nothing I can do about them without setting up cameras etc, and even then... Anyway. This is where I'd type up a good old-fashioned diatribe about those responsible and their misshapen appendages, if I could be bothered. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Important #Adelaide news... npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Home for emergency crumpets between outings. There's a new impromptu informal fountain up the street... npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Afghan shop wasn't open. Might go to the other, larger, slightly odder Afghan shop. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser I'm going to force myself out of the house this morning. It has to be done, so that I can then stay home until Tuesday without anything resembling guilt or regret. Might call in at the Afghan shop to get everything I need for Easter. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser I suppose I should make an effort to stay awake to hear what the PM has to say about things, but I could also have a good nap and not care if I miss it because the post-match analysis will be everywhere afterwards. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Dubai dreams are different now. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Italian Easter delicacy, marketing fail edition. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser The local service station, demolished a while back, is to be replaced with a Kentucky Duck joint. I was hoping for something nice. It's still possible to lodge an objection, though I suspect "ew, yuck" might not be sufficient grounds. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Life is good, if you ignore all of the stupid bits. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Thinking about dried fruit, which is probably a sign of middle age. How hard would it be to convince myself that dried apricots would be a tasty and nutritious snack with many benefits compared to chocolate... They're certainly more fibrous, I'll give them that. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser 4:10pm. Must be time for my ennui. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Might write a paper on the importance of chopsticks for hand wound hygiene. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Update: I am using chopsticks. It's easier than I'd thought 'cos chips aren't slippery. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser A Malaysian Chinese friend has been seen using chopsticks to eat chips. She also finds them useful while gardening, and not only as stakes. Early training produces amazing dexterity. Me, I'll just make another mess. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser I'd like some chips. There are chips in the pantry, just waiting to be consumed. I have fresh cuts on my dominant hand and have only just changed the dressings. My non-dominant hand is generally clumsy. Life is reliably cruel. Maybe I'll use chopsticks, if I can control them despite all of the Elastoplast. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser I have broken my favourite glass (from despair.com, the Pessimist's Mug, with "This glass is now half-empty" etched on it) and scratched the unscratchable floor, and bled on a doorframe while trying to stem the initial bleeding. The clean-up has been the worst day of rest I've ever had, and it seems I can't even drink tap water without supervision and PPE. It's hard being me. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser How nice of him to give them a treat. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser The bins are out, hurrah. Now I can rest until they want to come back in. That's all I'll be dealing with today apart from mindless scrolling and such. There will be naps. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Bin Day! npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser You'd have enjoyed ABC radio talking about an Emma Rittus professor this morning. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Looking over their left shoulder while turning right - crash! - oh, sorry, didn't see you. (No kidding.) That sort of thing, in various directions at various speeds. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser No commentary on today's supermarket experience, it was all too depressing. Not the products, the customers. I hope they don't drive. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Righto then, I'll delay paying the thing. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Still waiting for the result of the poll. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser It looks like I'm going to have a bad time with my [redacted] today.This is annoying. Still, it could be worse, it could be one of the other things that I routinely redact to prevent the offering of advice. The thing I'm redacting today is the least of them. And there are pills. Also crumpets, but technically they're not medication. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Should I pay a bill now, and spend the next week exploring new ways to be frugal, or put it off until payday? npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Quite a mental picture, Angus with a suspended POO. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser I spent a few years walking past that place every day. It always looked empty. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Let's see. I can keep scrolling for no good reason, or I can read some more of a very well-written history, or I can read some frivolous nonsense that I've read several times before. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser An exciting outing tomorrow. Getting a flu shot. I know I need to get out more, and I must find more amusing things to do than getting the local pharmacist to stick needles in me. He does seem to like it though, so it'll be fun for one of us. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser *Mental picture of Caity stalking a fridge so as to take it by surprise with a crash tackle.* npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Well, this is distressing. #saparli #auspol npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Today's main amusement is watching commentators fraying at the edges as their familiar environment vanishes. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser There's some counting underway but I wouldn't expect any major developments to be reported today. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser My eyes aren't happy with me after last night's epic staring-at-screens session. I'll give them a screenless day tomorrow, if I can. Today I'm too busy looking at electoral aftermath. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Horrid Pauline is claiming that informal votes will favour One Neuron, which fits with my theory that their voters aren't capable of completing a formal ballot. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser First figures from Torrens. Labor first on 40%. Libs fourth. ON is in second place, but the Greens are third, on 15%, and their preferences will go heavily to Labor, so we can guess that Labor will win it again. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser I'm seeing 'ALP ahead' but Dunstan is supermarginal so it'll wobble a bit for a while. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser I'm still not seeing anything from my own electorate (Torrens). Frustrating. But never mind, I'm not expecting any surprises. It'll be Labor. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser And there we are. Result called at 7:46pm. Labor is back, which was never really in doubt. The flaming wreckage will be on the conservative side. Nice. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Also, there's a minor party candidate in the seat of Black called Dianne Squirrel. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Yeah. A prime crop of nutters, splattering the conservative vote all over the joint. npub1untelp33wcstyvksa7lepttjf220w6yuza7aqhvg8jkq262p6jhqm8e5lx Mark Asser Mostly right-wing minor parties and totally random independents. It's usually lefty unity that's in question. This is a refreshing change.
