Hadn’t tried heat or cold - just “distraction therapy” - driving in Sydney traffic.

…Informally administered RUDAS test, completely failed the shopping list. And naming the animals - started well: “Lion” Followed by “Algebra”.
I’m not sure what continent they’re found on, or if Noah took two on the Ark, but by then laughter pretty much nixed the rest. https://www.dementiaresearch.org.au/...RUDAS_Form.pdf |

I must be the only person in the world that manages to get swimmers ear from taking a shower.

Cleaning out gutters especially when it is hard to get tools in there and I don't have a good ladder.
I reckon I cleared out between 3-5kgs of crap There is more but mostly dirt. |

Use an air blower. Leaves a mess on the ground to clean up but at least it's on the ground. |

Those toilet paper dispensers that use a large roll of continuous paper.
I get why businesses use them, but as a consumer, they're terrible! They're never wide enough and they never tear where you want them to or tear evenly! You end up with a thin piece of paper that is torn length ways that is only just capable of doing the job.

Since I just spent a lot of money getting roof work done I was trying to find anything around the house to scoop it out but just very little room to work with. I plan on getting a ladder and blower rather than pay for that again and can only get to pergola area from the roof. |

People zooming unnecessarily down my street, four lorikeets squashed in an hour as they fed on fallen seeds from the liquidambar trees. The saddest part was watching one very much alive lorikeet persistently trying to “wake up” his dead mate.

I hear you.
It doesn’t anger so much as sadden me. Lorikeets are an imperfect bird, but less destructive to the habitat of others than the noisy miner. Around here almost every tree is likely to be felled; people and their sense of social futility, lashing out by destroying a century-plus of canopy. |

As annoying as some find in the dawn and dusk, i like the swarks of rainbows and rosellas. At my old house my neighbour had a big tree in her yard and that wasnt their nesting place, but it was their hang out spot. At some times of the year you could see weird inverted branch bird sex going on, but hey, thats one step away from extinction i guess. Didnt mind the cockatoos either, although they did make a mess of my driveway with all the mandarins theyd pinch from the house in fronts tree, take 1 bite then grab another...

The feeder street that my mum lives off has a bunch of banksias planted along the nature strip. Lorikeet heaven at the right time of the year. My mum drives a Nissan xtrail with roof racks permanently installed. Sadly, caught one of the little fellas on them one year
