   @tregeagle Reserve the #DrWho / JFK shooting anniversary weekend in late November.

   @tregeagle I used to promise myself the most horrible junk food breakfasts to get myself out of bed and on the train in to work. Mind you, I'm too old to get the hangovers that would make that kind of bribery necessary, or the fat salt, and sugar so rewarding. Can barely touch that stuff now, but back in the day it was just laying down a foundation for the first beer of the morning. Ah, to be young…

   @tregeagle Know of any restaurants in #Sawtell or #Coffs that would appeal to people with a very 1970s palate? My parents are visiting next month, health scares permitting, and the only times I've eaten out in the last year have been when you've bought a bag of crisps with a round. [Brushes crumbs off belly] Oh, salt and vinegar! Why can I never say no?

   @tregeagle It was classic oven door #weather when I left the air conditioning. Then I crossed the railway line and got the #Sawtell 5℃ discount, and on my windswept promontory it was positively mild. But yes, it looks like it will be a harrowing summer. Blow wind, blow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI3tKFyux9M

   I don't know whether technically I live on a promontory or an escarpment, but either way, it's jolly windy up here today. #Sawtell

   @tregeagle I wish I had a fraction of my cat's hair. Growing on my head, that is. I've more than enough on my floor, my furniture, my clothes, etc. #WaterWaterEverywhere

   Absolutely shattered. Day off #work tomorrow. Think I might give my todo list the day off as well, and just snooze.

   Nothing quite so good as a strawberry Moove from the school canteen. https://australianfoodtimeline.com.au/1978-launch-of-big-m/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7E3MaiSeLo

    Have just discovered, late in life, the joys of Colby cheese. Previously I thought of it only as a fictional second division football club ("Colby Cheese one, Partick Thistle nil."), but if you want the endorphin rush of milk fat solids unencumbered by flavour, Colby should be your go-to cheese.

    Had a long-overdue haircut the other day. Within minutes I go from dotty old Professor Cycleclips to the character in a gritty East End drama who shouts things like "Oi! Who towd you to bring a shoota?!"

    @tregeagle Sounds like you're due for a holiday. Spend some time among people who have the luxury of aspirations beyond just making it to Christmas.

    I used my mum's typewriter to write BASIC programs (I can't handwrite in monospace, so it never looked right otherwise) that I would then enter into the school computers at lunchtimes, so I used shift lock a lot. Ironically, this was on a Microbee, the #AU designed pre-PC micro which - uniquely for the time, I think - had proper lowercase characters due to an 8x16px character…

    I remember how the shift lock key used to lift the carriage of my mum's typewriter like a dog raising its head in expectation of a treat. I feel like a product of a bygone age. https://medium.com/forwardtick/its-time-for-caps-lock-to-die-81c9eaa4dfa7

    Somebody in the next block of flats is #listening - loudly - to what appears to be Dire Straits' Greatest Hits. This is offensive on so many levels. What kind of monster wants their entire neighbourhood to sound like a waiting room? #Sawtell

    When you have decades of evidence showing how many civilians are killed by drone strikes, yet you continue to carry out drone strikes, there are no "accidental" deaths by drone strike. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-afghanistan-attack-drones-idUSKBN1W40NW #US #Afghanistan #PineNuts

    Often I wonder if I'm doing the right thing keeping a cat in a 2½-room flat. Then I find that #cats have no problem making the most of the space available to them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lbhSyMLR-M

    Today #Listening to track 20, Solo for Masonry Drill. Remarkably dissonant blend of bass and treble, with an unpredictably off-kilter rhythm that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
