I often find myself feeling a bit unsettled in moments where I’m doing nothing. It’s nice to do nothing but I then start to feel like I should be doing something. Does anyone else on Micro.blog have this same kind of restless Western brain?

Here’s another Harbour shot from yesterday in Wollongong.

I still enjoy Twitter to a degree, however I’ve found that Micro.blog is where I prefer to have conversations and post anything quick that isn’t for loungeruminator.net. With that in mind, I’ve started cross-posting from Micro.blog to Twitter. Let’s see how it goes.
We watched episode 11 (S3) of The Handmaid’s Tale on SBS On Demand last night. Wow… that was some excellent television (or content or streaming or whatever we’re supposed to call it these days). 📺
I don’t normally have things set up this way at work, however I realised that I have three Mac keyboards at my desk. The history of decreasing travel visualised! 👨🏽💻

I love Sydney but I found a satirical piece that makes a good point about the place. Read more in Rumination No. 48: Republic of Sydney on Lounge Ruminator.
I don’t have kids but I agree with this article from NPR about how to be a responsible parent in the digital age.

Important update! The pudding was delicious.
Tonight we’ll be having our weekly dinner at my mum’s place and all that I can think about right now is the self-saucing chocolate pudding that we’ll be eating for dessert. It’s killing me.
The show that I easily miss watching the most would have to be Battlestar Galactica. It really has the best soundtrack of any TV show. I’ve been annoying Natasha about watching it with me for some time… we’ll see if she agrees soon. 🌟
This ridgey-didge, ‘double-automatic’ Roache hand-dryer includes an illustrated demonstration of how to use the technology, featuring a lovingly adapted version of our national coat of arms. ‘What’s that, Skip? Your paws are wet?’ You’ll also notice that the logo is a bizarre rip-off of Porsche’s. This is Australia.
Oh, the irony…

I always feel a sense of sadness and nostalgia when I see the old, abandoned monorail stations in Sydney.

It’s great when Natasha is on school holidays because she can meet me for lunch whilst I’m at work. It was lovely to sit together at MM Beach in Port Kembla today.
One of the benefits of being married to a primary school teacher is that she sometimes finds old Apple stuff and brings it home for me. Here are two Apple USB Keyboards from 1998 and 1999! ⌨️
Mmmm… Kentucky Fried Handbags are fingerlickin’ good…
I’m watching Natasha play hockey today and it is so windy that the clubhouse in which I’m standing seems like it could be blown over at any moment.
