Off to do some errands. ๐Ÿ˜˜

Camping gear has now been mostly sorted - there are a couple of tubs of stuff like cooking gear that will need to be sorted out to either donate or throw out, but all the bigger bits I intend to sell have been photographed. Now I need to do the listings and cross my fingers.

Cupboards are all moved. I am now exhausted, but still need to put away a few things and sweep the decking the cupboards were moved off (and have some stern words to the encroaching blackberries there). And just for fun the people who have made offers have not got back to me to acually confirm a pickup time โ˜น๏ธ.

Where the cupboards are now has more space so I should be able to take better photos to relist. I might try Gumtree this time.

Finished listing my stuff on Gumtree. Have received two scam messages so far.

Oooh can we have a scam counter? Like, the ratio of scam calls? All in the name of science of course. So far is 2/2 as per your post.
EDIT: don't if it's too much like work though.

Events dominate the net and its farken crazy how many people are blaming harris for trump winning.

The fuck is wrong with that country. Chunks of them chose not to vote, or to purity politic, half of them were stupid enough to vote for the persimmon emperor, how the fuck is it 'the dems fault'.

Absolute abrogation of personal responsibility.

Decided to have a movie day with the Minipeelers. They wanted to go out and do something, but I didn't because $$. I'm kind of sick of all the free stuff we do, to be honest. It's free money wise but always takes planning, preparation. I've worked a hard week and selfishly just want to relax. So far we watched MIB 2 and Bullet Train. The latter was totally up our alley, we all loved it.

Grocery shopping and then napped.

Was Meaning to make lunch with the stuff I went out and bought but the nap got in the way so need to reshuffle a few things.

I know Iโ€™ll getter but Iโ€™m going to brew a coffee fresh now then have a pizza for dinner later which will be absolutely stacked.

Things I really really learnt this week.

Most people are average. After watching Shadow of a Doubt for the umpteenth time I see that Charlie, who is constantly watching the world around her and looking at people and tries to make sense of it is the exception. Her mom, who is a sweet mom and not stupid, just average, sees the same facts but can't add it all up.

And I see now that Germans in the 30s really did believe the Blood Libel and other lies. They really did believe the lies that Jews were committing genocide, tho they didn't use the word genocide as that word hadn't been coined yet. It took decades of small lies that people were just not smart enough to discredit, see above. I used to think they didn't believe but because they were prejudiced they went along with it. They really believed because they thought they had facts and they thought it was the right thing to do. They believed the people in authority.

And no, teaching how to analyse won't work. They just can't do it.
