    @tregeagle Yes, I far prefer the intellectual rollercoaster to the emotional one. All the exhilaration, but far less of the unnecessary. Working afternoons till Friday and free all weekend if you can extricate yourself from your many entanglements. Plenty of drinking establishments in #Sawtell serving indistinguishable varieties of lager. BYO flavour.

    Feck me. Two weeks after allegedly giving up drinking, which meant one day of not drinking, then a few days of cider, then half-bottles of vodka, now tonight four-fifths of the way through a full bottle of vodka (whoops, just heard a chink of ice cubes hitting glass, make that nine tenths), she reckons she's getting up in the morning to go to a funeral. In the unlikely event of this happening, stay off the roads around #Sawtell. More likely she'll pass out somewhere in or around the house in a few hours, come to sporting some beguiling new bruises, and sleep all day before taking the dog for an afternoon walk to the off-license. I'm done.

    It's just occurred to me that I've never seen the chap across the road a) with a shirt on, or b) without a bottle of beer in his hand. Perhaps he has trouble getting the bottle through the sleeve. #Sawtell

    It's like being in Plato's Cave here in the Colorbond open air prison. You hear all sorts of fearsome mechanical sounds, but all you ever see is hats protruding above the fence, so naturally one assumes the noises are somehow all about the hats. It is the job of the #Sawtell philosopher to lead their peers out of their cells and awaken them to the reality of lawn maintenance.

    It would be a hot day were it not for the nor-easter that whips across the water, ruffles the #Sawtell playing fields and shoots down the Sixteenth Ave wind tunnel to my house. Which, given the way our little boxes made of ticky-tacky are packed with no thought to favourable aspect (plenty of doors and windows, just none that catch the breeze; sun-struck exterior walls upon which you could slap a bit of dough and bake naan bread, etc.), means it _is_ a hot day indoors, so I'm out on the back patio. It's rather romantic, being buffeted about; like I've lashed myself and my laptop to the mast, and by God, by the time we round the Cape of Good Hope I'll have caught up on my #reading.

    Hypothesis confirmed: car back out front, music stopped, shouting begun. Boring and predictable can be so noisy. #Sawtell

    Thought them across t' road must be having a party. But no, no cars at all parked out front. Looks like there's been of a barney, with one party storming off in a huff, and the other indulging in a truculent display of their ludicrously overpowered stereo and fondness for shopping mall musak. I love me some artificial beats and autotune on a Monday night. #Sawtell

    My parents are in #Sawtell for a couple of days. #DLW wanted me to put together one of my patented #YouTube mixtapes to listen to over dinner. She may regret this. The intersection of the musical tastes of my parents and I is basically early jazz and Irish folk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnH8dOlJrLE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5oMTsF_A1k

    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

    @tregeagle Blimey. Those are some hills. I got my brother-in-law's old bike out of the garage this morning with the intention of riding round and round in circles at sea level for a while. Turns out I don't own a bike pump (the bloke who stole my bike stole the pump as well; left my helmet though - the criminal classes lack my mighty cranial volume). My cycling tour of #Sawtell and environs between 16th Ave and May St has been postponed till I can get to the shops.

    Looking forward to seeing the #DrWho new series premiere at #Sawtell Cinema tomorrow night, now that all the fuss has died down about casting the first Doctor from Yorkshire. It's the 21st century for heavens sake! And anyway, she's an alien; Gallifrey probably has _two_ Yorkshires.

    #Timbl has lost the plot. It's all the time he spends at the #Sawtell Hotel. He should be working on deprecating #EME rather than reinventing #OAuth and calling it a "platform". Note his project website is infected with #Google #JavaScript, his code is on #GitHub, and his corporate site runs on #SquareSpace #FFS!

    Highlight of the year, #Sawtell Chilli Festival tomorrow. I have #work 6am-9-ish, so intend to spend the rest of the day groaning, snacking, and drinking. Nice to see our chum @panda is still looking after the website from sunny Estonia: https://www.sawtellchillifestival.com.au

    There's some woman on #ABC #TV at the moment talking about how her move from #Sydney to #Sawtell resulted in so much less stress that she hasn't had a drink in 11 years. <sarcasm>OMG! Same here!</sarcasm><slurp />

    Saw the Death of Stalin at #Sawtell Cinema last week. Dark. Good. I give it stars, thumbs, whatever. https://meanjin.com.au/blog/running-and-plotting-armando-iannuccis-the-death-of-stalin/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPpXFnHoC-0 Next for Iannucci: The Death of Partridge - Ah-haaaaaaaargh…! #review

    Cold, drizzle; this is proper weather at last. Autumn in #Sawtell. Not quite frost on the palm fronds, but the mosquitos are at least opting for a quiet night in front of the telly. One can sit outside and listen to podcasts unmolested.

    quitter.se appears to have disappeared. The domain name resolves, but the server isn't talking to me here in #Sawtell, or at #Linode. #fediverse
