This is an interesting youtube video about Australia, called “Why is there no crisis in Australia?” done by a British guy.  Interesting and informative.  It only goes for 11 minutes.

Just going to leave this here:
 

Woohoo.  Australia now holds the new world record for having gone the longest without a recession, which is 26 years, and still counting.

Realised my nipples were rather sensitive today.  I have no idea what that means.  Just as long as I’m not pregnant!

Having lunch at McDonald’s today with mum, and the young, attractive teen-aged girl at the counter was happy and smiley and giggly while serving me, and was checking me out the whole time we were there, constantly.  And this isn’t the first time I’ve noticed teen-aged girls checking me out, and they’re always attractive.  And I’m always puzzled!  Why the hell would an attractive teen-aged girl check out a 40 year old man, 45 as I am now?  And there is definitely no mistaking it for what it is.  I guess I should be more flattered than confused, but confused is much more accurate.  Girls are confusing!

Happy Mother’s Day, from my lair to yours! 

When there’s going to be a long weekend, why the hell do people react like the apocalypse is coming and stock up on 12 weeks worth of food and supplies?  Christ on a motorbike, it was a madhouse down the street!

23rd of March is 5 years since my dad died.  Sometimes that seems like so long ago, other times it seems like only yesterday.  At least I now know you never truly get over the death of a parent, no matter how much time passes.

Computer my computer back today but after 3 days of solid testing, they weren’t able to replicate the problem.  The only variable was that they used their on monitor rather than mine of course.  But if there’s a problem of some kind with my monitor then they clearly wouldn’t have found it.  I have a feeling the problem hasn’t gone away so now it’s waiting time to see if and when it does it again.  If it does then I’ll take the computer and monitor up and they can check things that way.  Damn this is frustrating and stressful.

I’m back… again.  But it’ll take a bit of time to work out if everything truly is running normally again.

And I’m back in action again.

My C drive is failing so I’m going to be offline for a bit until everything is sorted.  Computers, I have a great love/bitter hatred affair with them!

Oh it got up to 112F today, not 110F?  Thanks Mr Weather Man, that makes me feel so much better.

So yesterday I knitted a bobble hat for the dog. You can’t tell, but she’s really impressed.

Is anyone really surprised that Trump doesn’t like (or even understand) intelligence? After all, they’ve got nothing in common. It’s like a bad match up on a dating website. This is the guy who probably still thinks he can “turn off” the internet. The guy who’d have more money now if he’d just saved the loan his father gave him, instead of fannying about with it, making as many people miserable as possible.
Much as I dislike certain aspects of US Intelligence services, if I was about to be President, I’m still damn sure I’d trust them over Putin. What a complete and utter wazzock… I wonder if he’ll be able to bring himself to trust the intelligence services the first time they say: “Get down!”
I must stop watching the lunchtime news.
