Looks like there’s some global internet issues. Multiple services and networks down or struggling.

Picked a great week to go touring around Outback Queensland. Daily severe heat warnings, temps over 43 degrees. Oh did I mention the aircon in the HiLux has also packed in!?!?

Spent a couple nights out in nature at a remote campground. No signal so no tech, just lots of time to walk and read and relax

Well hello! So good to see so many old friends on here.

Well it took a while, and I've been dormant on the hell site for a long time now, but it feels like the right time.

Auto following all my previous follows, and looking for new suggestions.

Maybe the atmosphere here will break me out of my shell again!

So it turns out that nagging, stabbing pain in my shoulder/arm/neck is a torn rotator cuff. Why do I do this to myself?

I am being held hostage in hospital by my bowels! There’s a betting pool going amongst staff here and the pressure is mounting. Morning rounds today and everybody was asking me when? Some dude just walked past and asked ‘Anything yet?’

Lafinboy @lafinboy.bsky.social · Nov 13

Following surgery I am now trapped in the hospital, held hostage by my own bowels. As soon as I void I can be discharged, but my bowels aren’t playing along. Stupid bowels
