Now #Trump could have pulled this off. https://boingboing.net/2019/07/16/drug-smuggler-busted-with-half.html "Best ludicrous hair ever. A lot of people are saying that. I could be hiding all sorts of things. Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. And guess what? Nobody's ever gonna find out, 'cause I'm building a wall." -

Moved furniture across #Sawtell and up a dizzying flight of stairs. Then four hours #work. Still have to make a bed with an aching back, and Kitty currently hiding among the pile of bedclothes on it. But we have a '~/'. Hard to believe, actually. -

Got Kitty over to the flat. Not a happy camper, but she's starting to notice that such a lot of her stuff is here. Just a bed and a lounge to go, and then no more #moving for six months. Or a year. Or two. -

@mjd waves a smoked kipper towards the motherland. I hope this will now become the standard of transnational solidarity. I see a future where no foreign dignitary would dream of disembarking form an aircraft without holding a cured fish aloft in tribute to their hosts. https://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/28624 #UK #Boris -

And we're back. Or rather we're in a new place. To my right, a splendid view of #Sawtell headland and @tregeagle's ute. Yes, things could definitely be worse. Last stuff to move tomorrow morning, then I'm settled, and can exhale for the first time in eighteen years. -

#Moving my office this morning. With luck I'll have electricity and broadband by the evening. See you on the other side, #Internet. -

@andyc Not a bit of it, dear chap. I haven't thought of myself as part of a couple for so long that I never made the connection. -

@tregeagle Damn right. I've even got a shirt here somewhere that doesn't have holes at the elbows. But I don't like to put on airs and graces, and be thought to fancy myself better than the ordinary folk of our borough. It's a special occasion garment, like wearing a leather belt instead of a length of knotted rope. -

I don't know what @tregeagle's talking about. #Mastodon posts are showing in his timeline. Perhaps it's what he means by "able to interact" that we're misunderstanding. #Melbourne's cold, wet weather, and the ready availability of beer with flavour by the pint, is a heady mixture. -

@andyc The latest version of #GNUSocial _is_ ancient. The last stable release was is 2014. The last commit to the allegedly upcoming release branch (which we're on) was 3 years ago. It is an ex-platform. Bereft of life, it rests in peace… -

Moving house. Every unit in my new building has a table out on the landing with an ashtray. It's quite Vesuvian when the wind whips up. By the time I was done going back and forth this afternoon I smelled like a pack a day man. -

Some seriously deficient ℃ we've been getting lately in #Sawtell. I've a mind to write the manufacturer. We're supposed to be sub-tropical, but I think the "sub" is being overplayed. Don't know if it's because I've lost some weight or just getting old, but I'm really feeling it this year. -

Phoned my mum to tell her about my recent dematrimonialisation. She said "Oh, that's sad." Then we both said, simultaneously, "These things happen." Then she said "Well, I don't want to keep you…" Then we said goodbye. Nobody is as British as a colonial. It's an emotional rollercoaster down here, I tell you. -

A beret is a very sensible hat in extreme latitudes, where the sun is never from directly above, but one side or t'other.
