Heading back to Melbourne after 10 days in the tropics. Pray for me 🙏🏻

Not for the specific kleen kanteen one I had. Tried emailing the distributors and everything (they sent me one and it was the wrong size). Will keep my eye out for a generic replacement then give it away

For the Monash Legal Clinic in assisting me to get that 9 year shoplifting charge off my record once and for all.

That’s great news! Another step into the future and out of the past 👌🏻

I am grateful for rest and being old and smart enough to occasionally take time out. It’s been an emotional and tiring couple of weeks (visiting family is great but there’s always some grief waiting) but I taking a couple of days before I head back to work and I really needed it. Just exercise, rest, nature time.

I just had the same experience with water bottles. Thought I had a good simple stainless steel option until I lost the lid o-ring in a dishwasher while travelling…eventually gave up trying to get a replacement and just bought a new one (with an all in one lid).

Weird nightmare crew represent 🙌🏻🦠🧞‍♀️💍🩺💥

Helpful staff at Specsavers. My glasses frame just randomly snapped(!) he couldn’t fix it but found a similar pair of frames in his box of spare parts and popped my lenses in there. I am grateful for helpful customer service people and the ability to see again

Sorry to hear that. My mate’s parents did that trip when the mum got diagnosed. His dad used to say at least he could go back to old favourite spots that she would normally be bored with because they were all new!

That is the definition of snuggled

Thanks. You are very right. I find it hard to see her struggle (early stage Alzheimer’s). But I think we all looked after her and she had a ball

I have been on leave in the last week, travelling with an old family member (a farewell tour of sorts - I don’t think she will be doing more big trips). I am feeling very melancholy. So glad I have been able to help her, and sad to see someone so strong and independent getting old and frail.

Anyway this is your lil Wednesday reminder to say thanks to your body, no matter how much trouble it gives you. Getting old sucks arse

Go Simon!!

Hugs. Biggest hugs

😎 the future is so bright I gotta wear shades …

Happy solstice!! 🌻

Yeah I now wake up every day between 5:30 and 6:30 pretty naturally. I reckon as long as you get up and do some basic wake up thing you can then go back to bed and not wreck the habit. I do that on weekends.

Too damn early crew checking in 👊🏻

Yep. Apparently that’s not enough!

So I reported a profile on Facebook because it was using my name and my profile picture (and different personal details ripped from someone with my name but a higher public profile). I just got an email to say it’s been reviewed and doesn’t go against their guidelines.

The profile picture is literally me. From my old website. And it’s my name. But that’s not an issue?! WTAF?! Can I do anything about this?

Oh I 100% understand (both about the research-as-coping-mechanism) and fear around discussions. You can only try (and understand it might take a few goes)
