lol great pic.

getting some master's voice vibes from that

ooh.. hrmm. this is good to know. thank you :)

All I can say is fuck moving bluestone, feeling it today. Stupid volcanos.

Heading down the bellarine today for the break. Gonna start building a pizza oven out of the heaps of sandstone down there. I have no idea what I'm doing but it seems like a good idea.

Looks like the perfect day for it!

Needs all those neurons to build TP forts!

Surprisingly most kids were okay. Little bit of altitude sickness for a few which led to a few issues.

The really fit kids suffered the worst which was odd.

Eee yaks

So the one thing yaks don't care about is everything. You get out of the way, they won't.

Ol' boy finally found the piccys from a school trip we did to nepal back in 1999 (I was yr 9 at the time). 200 kids, bunch of teachers, 4 docs who were parents of kids (and went for free lol). And a fuckton of risk, they stopped the trip a year after that as a few kids ran into health troubles. Cheap as shit due to bulk kids.

Was before digital cams so pretty much only the adults had proper cameras. ol' boy had a nice one and got heaps of shots. They're all on slides and negatives.

Looks awful for now until I get them properly imaged but fuck me the memories.

Over easter doing a slide show on an old school slide projector from the 70's that still works down the bellarine w/ the fam. Gonna be lit lol.

Just makin' sure it's level.

I think those that relate on a personal level.

I was most fond of the teachers who asked about where you're at outside the curriculum as well. Those teachers I listened to.

ooh that looks good!

I've had luck with, as dumble said, holes and poison namely glyphosate.

Problem is the stump.

And then the flamethrower.

religious nutcase didn’t throw away their food

Man that's weird.

Just had a quick squizz at which religions / cultures don't like cats and it's a bit of a mixed bag!

I'm hearing a lot of sirens where I am. It's lunacy out there tonight.

Yea sure.

About 15 years ago she had mouth cancer, a doc nicked the carotid artery, along with radiation therapy led to her losing her teeth over time as the jaw became necrotic.

Then she had glaucoma. They buggered one op over many, and she lost vision in 1 eye.

Then the rona hit and she didn't do any real exercise for 2 years

Another mouth op, made eating difficult..

Then she had a fall 6 months ago, her remaining eye ruptured, another 2 ops and the pressure was fucked both low then high, okay now but less vision than before

So it's a thing where it's difficult to eat, drink, talk, see, hear (which is unrelated to anything), exercise.

And it's compounding. Not getting enough to eat, lowers appetite, hard to eat anyway, makes exercise harder, which lowers appetite.. not being able to see clearly and poor stability / mobility due to lack of exercise and nutrition, lowers app... and around we go. The fainting yesterday was probs due to new blood pressure drugs and lack of water (hard to drink), which will increase risk of falls.. and around we go.

It's not really 'acutely' ill, it's just everything that's happened to her is working against her pretty quickly together since that fall and decline is x2 speed now. Personally I think she might have had a little bleed as her personality changed a bit afterwards but no one is investigating that.

There's also a lot of refusal which isn't helping her but what can you do.

She's had a lot of expert advice, but now it's hit a hard limit.

Thanks man.

I just wasn't prepared for all these things to hit at once. Vision (and the shitload of drugs), teeth / food, physical mobility (and the risk of falls), hearing, memory, depression. It's hard to know what's feeding into each problem.

Used to visit my gran all the time at a 'well to do' nursing home and I really didn't like what I was seeing. The thought of it for the ol' girl scares me as there's a bit of complex care involved and I'm not sure they (or she) would cope and decline would be rapid.

I suppose age comes for us all, if we're lucky or unlucky.

Bit of a health scare for the ol' girl yesterday. Fainted, collapsed went to bed. I was in the garden and had no idea. ol' boy was down the bellarine gave me a buzz to see where she was. I found her completely out of it with fever symptoms. He comes racing back directing me on what to do / look for over the phone. Fuck she's lucky to have a medico hubby.

but jeez ol' boys language / demeanor changes when there are problems like the ones we've seen in the last 6 months. Shit gets calm, direct and accurate. He's normally a grumpy old bastard. We have our differences but with mum's polycrisis, we're both on the same page which has completely surprised me.

1/2 teaspoon bicarb, 30 mins, rinse, done :)

It's one of the bigger line ups for the scene. If I was going to go the one set I wouldn't miss is Mefjus.

On the 26th april at the timber yard.
