    I didn’t realise I had the same bug as the rest of the family until I finished my coffee in the office. I managed to get home alright without any problems. Another plus to the location of this place, the last thing you’d want is an hour long train trip after realising you’re sick

      Old fart comment: I used to know to the minute how long it took to print an essay and bolt to the faculty office before they cleared the essay drop box.

      Midnight online submission? Luxury 😝

      You got this!

        Good luck Spud! First and foremost, please make sure your PowerPoint looks pretty :)

        And thank you! Tomorrow, I will be doing another assignment, but I will definitely slot in some time to play guitar.

        Surprisingly most kids were okay. Little bit of altitude sickness for a few which led to a few issues.

        The really fit kids suffered the worst which was odd.

    I chased a moth around the room, gave it an almighty lob with the fly swatter and now I don’t know where it’s gone.

    Last night I learned that Pluto and Charon are tidally locked with each other, so Charon appears to not move in Pluto’s sky.

    Our moon is tidally locked with us, so it always shows us the same side, but it moves through the sky because Earth isn’t tidally locked with it.

    Mind blown 🤯

      For the non nerds but mildly curious this means that the moon spins at the same time that earth moves and that’s the reason we don’t see the dark side of the moon.

      The Brian Cox series on ABC has a bunch of interesting stuff about this. I think one of Jupiter’s moon’s moons isn’t tidally locked to the moon itself, but another point in space of it’s elliptical movement.

      Then you can look up Alpha Centuri and the suns and planets that orbit each other

    Ol’ boy finally found the piccys from a school trip we did to nepal back in 1999 (I was yr 9 at the time). 200 kids, bunch of teachers, 4 docs who were parents of kids (and went for free lol). And a fuckton of risk, they stopped the trip a year after that as a few kids ran into health troubles. Cheap as shit due to bulk kids.

    Was before digital cams so pretty much only the adults had proper cameras. ol’ boy had a nice one and got heaps of shots. They’re all on slides and negatives.

    Looks awful for now until I get them properly imaged but fuck me the memories.

    Over easter doing a slide show on an old school slide projector from the 70’s that still works down the bellarine w/ the fam. Gonna be lit lol.

    Forgot to take the compost bin down last night, woke up to enterprising felines flinging lamb chop bones to the floor. The mishcat is untethered and her craves know no bounds
