Our city is beautiful. I remember seeing Tokyo from their metro government building and thinking about how small Melbourne is in comparison.

It's big enough.

I have finally been able to harvest my first ripe tomato of the season
teaspoon for scale
That is a comically large spoon
Will you binge it in one sitting or save half for later?
Eating the whole thing in one go seems a big much. I think at least two meals.

Yeah so unintended side effect of quitting vaping is I need to learn to control my singing voice again.
Frustrating.
This is good tho , isnt it?
Long term absolutely.
But I have re adjust how I form notes in my throat. That's the frustrating part.
Doing what I normally do is off pitch.
I have gymed. Great success.
New trainer is lovely. I like her
Well. That was humbling lol
Teacher is cool but yeah, lot of work to do.
Singing lesson?
Yup.
When you're self taught it's easy to forget there are better ways of doing things.
Sometimes being self taught is worse up front because there are so many bad habits to break
That's what the teacher said lol
Cool. I did a few singing lessons back in the day but I really want to learn how to project my voice. Am considering doing a couple.
I'll keep posting about my progress to see if this guy is any good. I've gone there for technique and to learn vocal fry
Looks like my work laptop has won the Windows 11 brick lottery
Yep, so now it's home time and late start tomorrow
In person went OK. We'll see what happens.
Brother, your church bells are a minute early.
Alrighty.

2 first stage phone interviews.
Let's see what happens.

think I'll go into the city and get some walking exercise and do a few errands
I don't deny the news lately, life lately, has been tough, and it's hard to get motivated

I like my new car. Itβs fun to drive, looks cute, sounds great.
STOP BEEPING AT ME.
I just wish that it would shut the fuck up. I donβt need to be told every time thereβs a speed change. I donβt need to be beeped at every time I go 1km over the limit. Stop telling me thereβs a line near me. Why do I care if my door is open for a moment while I check something and the engine is off.
Thankfully most of it can be switched off pretty easily, but oh my god itβs so fucking annoying and has to be done every time I start the car. I want to drive a car, not have a car telling me how to drive.

There's this American guy (or maybe Canadian, I'm no good at telling the accents apart) sitting in the co-working open plan area today (in a group of 4) and he is literally SHOUTING his conversation. Non-stop talking since I arrived. I will be getting no work done today. I think I'm going to move for the day instead of asking them to STFU, I don't feel like a confrontation.
Canuks tend to be less cunty like that, sounds American to me.
True for the most part. There are assholes amongst us, but we tend to be quieter in public.
Yanks don't have indoor voices.

Vacuum cleaner has arrived as well I bought it for my kids to play with, aren't they lucky I'd upgrade my whole phone just to get them a new toy?
In happier news, one of my neighbours has an assistance dog in training, and I've just witnessed him doing something very impressive.
Abraham (and the L-Plates On His Harness) is figuring out lift buttons. He can call the elevator
Very clever boy!
The glass plate I made has just turned 7 (according to Facebook)
That was a very enjoyable afternoon class, and the plate is now my fruit bowl in the kitchen. It doesn't feel like seven years ago. I spent a couple of months long service leave staying at home and doing lots of classes and activities locally, it was a lot of fun.
I love the colours and style!
That's so pretty!! That sounds like a great way to use lsl. I want to try one of those painting or pour sessions.

Coming at you from the new vacuum cleaner phone
I heard that phone really sucks.
The accessories you can get for it certainly do
