   F-bomb Freddy, at the other end of the landing, is in fine voice today. Nothing serves so well as a reminder that one lives in #AU as someone farking saying farking farking all the farking time.

   @tregeagle I'm not sure. Maybe the guy I'm regularly mistaken for at #work has really lifted his game, so I'm getting called in more often. Best not to question it.

   Seven hours yesterday, nine today at weekend rates. My body's borked, and I've still to get up for a 7am start tomorrow, but that's my holiday paid for. #work

   I think it's ironic that somebody finally managed to silence John Bolton, at the first time in his life that he had something to say that was worth hearing.

   @tregeagle I love a bit of scaffolding. When I came of age, striped-shirt suspender-wearing yuppies were tearing down lovely old buildings all over #Sydney. Then suddenly the entrepreneurs were all in countries without extradition treaties with #AU, and their holes in the ground surrounded by scaffolding became permanent fixtures. Last I saw the holes were all replaced by App…

   #Sawtell is drying out now. On my way home from work today, on the verge of the street where yesterday there was a shin-deep lake that ruined my shoes, I spotted a stranded turtle. It's shell was about the diameter of a tin of peaches. I stuck it in my shopping bag and carried it round the corner to the nearest creek-cum-drainage-ditch, setting it gently on the bank with it's…

   By the time I got home, bom.gov.au reports, we'd had about 70mm of rain since 9am. #weather https://microblog.mjd.id.au/attachment/34077

    Was lying about in the lounge room, listening to a #BBC #podcast, thinking "This isn't very professional. You can distinctly hear the clinking of cups of tea." Opened my eyes and saw #Kitty cleaning my empty ice cream bowl.

    Rarely get anything like insomnia, but last night… Had that thing where you can only drift off for long enough for a dream about getting up and ready for work. Repeat for the entire night, then get up and ready for work. Felt like death.

    I want to be positive, but Jesus Christ that was terrible. A plot would be nice. Or failing that, just some running around in corridors. Come back Terry Nation, all is forgiven! I'd sooner rewatch Time Flight than this thin gruel. Looked expensive though. So, there's that. #DrWho S12E06 #review

    Jesus, that was painful. For some reason the LMTP port is no longer defined in /etc/services in #Debian 10. I owe the maintainer of etckeeper a beer. http://etckeeper.branchable.com/ It hooks into apt to do a commit before and after every upgrade. I don't know how I ever managed without the ability to do a `git diff` on my /etc. If you've emailed me in the last few days, please resend it.

    Feck I feel good today. Walking to #work, listening to Accelerate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerate_(R.E.M._album)) I felt better than I have done in twenty years.

    Saw our old chum #TW at #work this afternoon. He looked quite sprightly, and seemed pretty cognitively sharp (well, no worse than me; it's all relative). That makes two old friends I've bumped into at work in recent weeks who aren't dead yet. Feeling pretty happy about that.

I couldn't write them the way you do, I couldn't – making nightmares into living daylight...", but I've had "Rake at the Gates of Hell" going through my head for the last couple of weeks: "I'll be with them asleep and dreaming I'll be there when they wake with screaming At the hour …
