I bet Teams is great if you just want to warble-garble from the fire-hydrant of everyone else’s job. If that’s your kink, I respect it but don’t put that on me.

During lockdown when we could really only have conversations stoop-to-stoop she told me how she met her now deceased husband while she was working at the Mission to Seaman waaaaaay back in the day. And that when he died, she tried to have him buried at sea.

“Broad” is a loaded term but she’s a cool broad and I am gonna miss her.

Found out yesterday that our lovely neighbour (who we became friends with during lockdown) decided while I was away to move out. Senior person to us by three decades and of the coolest women I ever met.

Canadian power pop band out of Nova Scotia. Haven’t put out a single bad record and they’ve been going since the 90’s.

I mean, I get it. “I already told you this” is a real thing but “as per” and “inter alia” will be the reason I go to prison for a murder.

Ross Floate @rossfloate.bsky.social · 1d

It’s quite amazing how much someone sending me any communication containing the phrase “as per” will make them a ghost in my life.

We are fellow travellers, Brother.

Wait, while I’ve been gone they got rid of the ABC News Breakfast couch and put them behind a desk?

Sorry, I never said “thank you” for this. I appreciated it.

I’ve never understood luxury stores in airports but I am halfway through a 14 hour layover in Doha airport and I nearly bought a watch the price of a Corolla.

One day you and I can go for a slow bike ride and I will tell you about this trip.

My suitcase quite honestly looks like the clothes were put into it with a shotgun.

Venture Capitalists should finance my business: “Last Day Packing”. You pay an exorbitant amount of money for someone to pack your shit.

“Fuck you, suitcase, you’re not my real Dad” is such a thing.

I am not religious but I believe in the sacred and the profane. I saw people take selfies today at a place that is sacred, and their profanity astounded me.
