    Initiate rage mode

    An email from Netflix telling me the price is going up.

    Was not expecting this moment today. Glad I got it.

    What an epic Father’s Day battle. I started off strong, winning the first two rounds.

    Then she got Snape. She won two rounds quickly. It was all down to the final round.

    The battle was fearlessly fought with spells traded on both sides. But in the end only one could be victorious.

    And that was me.

    Kids made me breakfast for Father’s Day. It was delicious!

    Google is so bloody stupid now.

    I don’t use a VPN and haven’t left Australia since 2019. But sure, change my account to “South Carolina” from Australia. That makes perfect sense.

    The last day of winter yesterday was such a spectacular day I decided to head out to the garden to trim our camellias.

    I got 5/12 trees done, and I can barely move today. I have blisters on my hands and scratches up and down my arms…

    I am not built for gardening.

    When it rains, it pours…

    A couple of weeks ago, the car battery died. $$ Yesterday we serviced the car. $$$$ Today, the back tyre seems to be leaking and probably needs to be replaced. $$$

    Anybody want to sponsor my general feeling of disillusionment?

    Fun 2-player game of Ark Nova today with my wife. Kids went for a bike ride. Just a nice, relaxing day…

    Except I lost 😬

    Still a PB score though, so it wasn’t a total bust 🎲

    This week I discovered that even after about 30 years of not hearing - or even thinking about - the song I want your love by Transvision Vamp, I still remember all the lyrics.

    But ask me what I had for dinner on Sunday, and I draw a complete blank.

    I’m writing about Ghost’s ActivityPub integration, and I realised that deep down I really just want it to be more like Micro.Blog.

    The smell is incredible.

    Today I discovered my wife had never heard Rebecca Black’s Friday.

    Needless to say, she has now.

    It was fun, fun, fun, fun, fun.

    I like the idea of meal planning and cooking ahead, but it took me all afternoon to cook some freezer McMuffins and I am completely shattered.

    Saw Superman. It’s a great foundation. I wanted more Supes, though really enjoyed Mr Terrific and Guy Gardner. Lois Lane and Lex Luthor were solid. Unconvinced by parts of the story, though. Still… much better than Batman v Superman.

    Today I made a “continental” loaf of bread in the bread maker. It was the first time I have ever used a bread improver, and it came out ridiculously tall. Can’t wait to eat it though.

    I just spent (checks watch) an hour trying to setup a Windows review laptop.

    One hour. Just to get to log in and use the device.

    Maybe I should start charging an hourly rate to review Windows laptops. Such a ridiculous waste of time.

    I need to get car insurance quotes. I spend 5 minutes filling in a form of details, only to be told that they will call me to discuss.

    The phone starts ringing seconds later.

    To hell with that.

    Your number is now blocked and I will never use your services. I’d probably walk into the ocean before I picked up the phone to talk to an insurance salesperson. Pretty sure avoiding these people is why the internet was invented.
