@catguruniks.bsky.social Hello, I keep forgetting to check in here and have been wondering how you are. Good I hope. X

I happened to mention at work that I dislike the expression "nothing is certain in life except death and taxis", as taxis can be famously unreliable and hard to get hold of at certain times of day. They laughed at me for a solid half-hour and my nickname is now "Uber".

I am attending a social activity on the north side of Brisbane. I feel like I need a passport. So not my side of town.

Unbelievable. The staff of the Washington office of president Putin are desperately trying to curry favour with head office. What a dreadful performance from Trump and Vance. www.brisbanetimes.com.au/world/north-...

Because the current eight opened bottles of various anti ageing serums haven't provided miracle results, ninth time is the charm.

I really like the new Morcheeba single, We. live and Die. youtu.be/Vj7MjK_jggw?...

A young person has just offered me their seat on the train and oh how I hate them.

I would be totes cool jumping on my Jetstar flight with my Hermes cabin bag. Want. I hope they have Afterpay.

I have washed another odd number of socks. Today was 45. Besides having too many socks, my matching abilities rival the.exoerts on MAFS.

How utterly embarrassing.

Big day for the cookers, the Magna Carta is back on display at Parliament House in Canberra.

Years ago, I went to a birthday party in a small town. I went to a general store and asked if they had balloons. The fellow said yes. I asked if they had any in fun shapes and he said, "depends on how amusing you find circular". For some reason that's lived in my brain for years.

Emmanuel Macron should insist Trump calls the Statue of Liberty, Statue de la Liberté.

Someone should start compiling a list of collaborators

Colonoscopy went well. Seemingly no issues but will wait for pathology. The worst thing was the three litres of prep I had beforehand didn't entirely work and I had to have another litre this morning. Hospital staff placed me on a bed about three metres away from the loo.

Commencing colonoscopy preparation now. If anyone wants me, I'll be on the loo for a while.

For Australia Day I put up some photos of some famous, high achieving, Australian figures. One photograph was of Tilly Devine. No one said anything.

A glorious Depeche Mode anniversary today. Two years ago the band returned with the superb Ghosts Again. A taut, joyous and melancholic masterpiece. youtu.be/iIyrLRixMs8?...

Out doing my Saturday grocery shopping. I'm having a colonoscopy on Tuesday. It would behoove me to stock up on toilet paper.

I have recently been using Grown Alchemist skincare. The night cream is probably the thickest stuff I've ever slapped on, but it absorbs amazingly. I am hoping for a significant reduction of the 7 signs of ageing: wrinkled, cranky, surly, tired, rigid, right and old.

New experience for me today. On all the bus trips I have taken residents and clients out on, never before have I been on a bus that's broken down. Anyhoo, back to the office for me. I hope the residents can make it back too.

I may have* just flooded the office by filling up the sink and walking away. * Did

Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them at one point as “targets.” The website lists mostly Black employees.

At some stage, all the cocksuckers of the media, all those who swallowed their morals and hitched a ride on the Trump train will have to atone for what they have done. The Emporer is mad and all these people think it's ok. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/04/u...

Today's film at the Old Folks' Home Cinematheque is Erin Brockovich.

My friend lives in a part of LA that has a pretty big wild peacock population. You’re welcome!

I hope they take Afterpay.

It's unbelievable Trump is going after "diversity" hires in the US Federal Aviation Administration without one shred of evidence.

For the life of me I'll never understand why Facebook commenters make comments about celebrities/artists/singers/actors they dislike. Jog on, there is no need to be a waste of pixels.

Today's film at the Old Folks' Home Cinematheque is Driving Miss Daisy.

I am trying to explain to one of my residents when I call her an old GOAT, it's not a bad thing and she is the greatest of all time.

I am the boss this week. So for morning meeting we are going to have a little chat about the divine right of kings. 🤴

I have so many pairs of socks I really only have to wash them every few weeks. When I do, I play a game and guess if I will take off the line and odd or an even number of socks. I even do a special sock load of washing. Today's result was 39 individual socks, which as you can see is suboptimal.

Tomorrow is the fiftieth anniversary of when I started primary school. I distinctly remember being terrified by Mrs Johnson, who was a giant of a woman, hundreds of feet tall. She much more regular sized years later when I had her in grade 7. The first thing I remember being taught was the plus sign

Today's film at the Old Folks Home Cinematheque is Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl. I may have told my residents the film is a zombie splatter flick so I can watch it in peace.
