    It's warm enough in the evening that instead of sitting inside and listening to podcasts I can sit outside and listen to podcasts. Interrupted every few minutes by trainee pilots circling #Coffs airport at a radius of roughly my distance from the airport. #CoffsLifestyle

    Really enjoyed #DrWho 2018 ep. 4. Coming together nicely. Special treat seeing that young lass from Dinnerladies again. As Yaz's mum. God, I'm old. David Tennant being a couple of months younger than me I could just about take; the increasing unlikelihood of anybody older than me ever being cast as the Doctor will take some getting used to.

    @tregeagle That's why I so often get lost here. My navigation system evolved to be entirely dependent on relative proximity to pubs, bookshops, record shops, and newsagents.

    Why don't you go out and make the pub a miserable place to be, like decent degenerates on a Saturday night? Oh, right: somebody's parents are out of town and most of you are under age. Still, are there no carparks? No playing fields?

    Saturday night in the Colorbond open air prison. There's a lot of shrieking and bass notes coming from the cell one over and one behind us. Now why TF do I live here, again? ("Don't tell me I'm still on that fecking island!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIY9WCRAVZE) #Sawtell

    'After listening to [the recording] and talking with Turkish officials, Ms Haspel returned to Washington. The White House declined to provide details of her briefing, saying only that she had informed the President on her "findings and discussions."' i.e. "Total amateur hour, Mr. President. It's like they never ran a black site before. Only one target to neutralise and they cocked it up. Why aren't we sharing best practices? Gimme a week with the top Saudi brass and I'll have them running as smooth as the CIA." http://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/19696 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gina_Haspel#Torture_and_destruction_of_evidence_controversy

    1. More than 350,000 households at risk of property being worth less than mortgage
      from Financial Review
      Think this won't happen in your suburb? A growing number of households will be in the red if property prices fall 20 per cent.

    I was called "young man" at #work today. Like buses, that term comes around far less frequently these days.

    Oh, lordy. @tregeagle, do you feel the need for a "Patient Experience Improvement Toolkit"? http://apo.org.au/node/191596 Personally, as an occasional patient, "not dead yet" is my metric for satisfactory outcomes from a medical service. Having to fill in a feedback form at every interaction would only serve to take the shine off that achievement.

    @andyc My Mum's always used #Windows, but she's never installed it once; she simply couldn't. The barrier isn't the software, it's the availability of professional support.

    I used to do some bookkeeping for a pub in #Sydney. The owners had a policy of not employing men behind the bar, and not employing women over the age of 20, or below a certain bra size. One day some young girl accepted a tattered and distinctly dodgy paper $100 note long after #AU had gone plastic. She was young and innocent and the pub's owners thought it would be a lark to slip that same bill into her pay packet. As an almost entirely cash business where the official accounts were mere froth upon the waves, they could well afford the loss, but they chose to be c***s. It's great to learn. It's another thing entirely to have your nose rubbed into your mistakes for no good reason. Employers suck.

    Bought a bike pump. Got on a bike for the first time in years. There is no way my brother-in-law was the last person to ride that bike. All of #DLW's family are vertically inconspicuous, and that seat was lifted to BeeGees falsetto height. Now I need @tregeagle to explain how the gears work. When I were a lad, state of the art was two cogs on the front and five on the back, and you were bloody grateful. Now I can't tell what's going on; whenever I try to look at the machinery in action I'm about to crash.

    Last time I was in #Sydney I was waxing rhapsodic to my parents about the great middle eastern food in Auburn, the fantastic Korean food in Strathfield, and the general joyful vibe of street life in immigrant-rich western Sydney. My mother nodded, pursed her lips, and said "Don't go to Hurstville now. All asians. So sad."
