Finally getting some gentle but steady rainfall to dampen down the dust. (tick)
If only I had a summer-weight full length rain coat with hood to wear to get the groceries... (grumble - all the one's I've seen are basically plastic. I want waxed cloth! or oilskin.)

Well, had a nice morning catching up with a friend who's come back from radiation therapy. She's looking well. Quite chipper about the whole process, as it was caught early and the treatment seems to be running smoothly. It's more bumpy for someone else I know (botched surgery always is), but the afternoon was spent pleasantly picnicking in the park with pastries of all persuasions. It helps to put some other juvenile crap flitting here and there on the fringes into perspective. It really does make you laugh at just how absurd some (some? most) of it is.
Take my advice, life's better spent watching clouds and talking with friends.

Just had a day where I haven’t had to put in 12-13 hours of work and for some reason I’m exhausted.

Finally made it to the hair dressers this morning to get rid of my overflowing masses of hair. I have very thick and strong and volumous hair which is a real pain in the heat and due to COVID, I have not been in to get it cut for 16 months now. Now, finally, the stuff is manageable and bearable in this heat! Plus everybody at work, including the intern, commented on how nice my short hair now looked. Bonus.

Had another Surgeon's appointment this morning (It was 19 months a few days ago since I was rushed to hospital, 3 operations later).. I am pretty much 95+% back to normal. I get into work 1.5 hours later, I see I have a free pass to go to the drive in's the day before my wife's birthday to see Fast & Furious 9. Perfect timing hey Timelord007 ? Needless to say it was an immediate confirmation from me . My best mate also happens to live literally across the road from the only Drive In in my home state too so we will pop in and see him as it's been months.

At work today a customer decided that it was ok to talk to me (about how he wanted me to look after his trolley, and the semi-bad day he'd had) in the doorway of the 'facilities' whilst I was in the middle of a, ahem, visit. 'Time and a place' m'dude, 'time and a place'...
The list of "things of things I'm not going to question" genuinely gets longer by the day. Jesus Christ!
(He sees me leave the cleaner's cupboard and go into the facilities and, opens the door as I get to the urinal) 'Excuse me, could I leave my trolley with you?' I, uh, pardon? (M'dude, I'm trying to pee here, why are you talking to me?) "Could I leave my trolley and BluRay player with you? Only the last time I was here I left it outside and someone walked off with it... I'd go to the disabled but it's closed and 'the girls' seem busy..." Yup, yup, ok, fine. Can you just give me a minute, 'coz, I'm kind-of in the middle of something... (Apparently I was too subtle, as -) "It's been a hard days as the morning I had the doctor's, and then the dentist, and now I just want to get home and set my BluRay player up..." (M'dude, I know you can't see me through the 'privacy screen', but I really can't go with you stood in the doorway trying to talk to me!!!!) "So, yeah, if you could look after it...?" (Dude, I have my, ahem, 'member', in my hand. I! AM TRYING! TO PEE! LEARN! SOME! BOUNDARIES! FOR ONCE! IN! YOUR! LIFE!)

In Australia we had the GST come into effect July 1st 2000... Goods and Services Tax. I had 1 old guy try to accentuate his moot point by trying to poke me in the chest on every word he uttered about the inept Australian Government at that time. He got 2 pokes in and was on the "down swing" for his 3rd chest poke when I grabbed his finger "politely"..

Fallout: London launch trailer has me very excited, Fallout 4 one my all time favourite games. Oh, it looks wild, doesn't it? It's hard to tell the modders from the official developers these days. I should go revisit the world of Fallout. I've very good memories of another mod, Autumn Leaves, for New Vegas. That was some brilliant writing. It was like finding the Library of Alexandria hadn't burnt down after all.

Talk about self promotion, yes we know your the star & producer of that franchise which you milked to death, told ya get Riddick 4 in production do a Butcher Bay game adaptation instead these silly sequels. Honk Honk.

Had bit of a argument with my cousin yesterday over a trivial thing he angry a game was updating taking 4 hours but that the trigger what he angry about is his grandads passing & like me he couldn't visit him & said goodbyes via phone.
Also his cousin scammed lot money out his grandad took out loans in his name which has caused a sh.tstorm & broke me cousins heart, his grandad was his idol & he feels guilty he didn't know what his cousin doing.
I told him he not mind reader that what she did she was devious, i told him i understand the pain of not being able say a proper goodbye but said he needs talk it out not bottle up his emotions.
I was the bigger man, he was ranting at me about my anger real like my mental health & that i don't care which was out of line because i always been there for him since he was a kid.
I know he angry but know not aimed at me it's just I'm like brother to him so i guess needed vent & i was the one he vented at, although i did pull him up said I'm your elder bro who loved you 30 yrs so some respect who think talking too I've also lost a loved one and same day got news we were target scammers which i had deal with as well as having covid myself & the ambulance called twice it was touch and go whether i was going pull through.

After much delay get my first jab tomorrow, really want Fizor one the place I'm going too does it. Good for you. I am having my second next month. It seems quite random as to whether people get side fx or not, I just had a very vague sore arm for a few hours, I had AZ.

So while we were at the sushi shop, my good mate who is from Liverpool but lives here, msgd me.. His best mate who still lives there happened to do some shopping at ASDA and saw 2 copies of "Max Warp" 8th Doctor vinyl. He messaged him, and I quote : "Look what I seen, do I purchase or do I leave the store empty handed". Round robin msgs back and forth within 1 minute. How awesome, my contact's contact was looking out for me without being asked. He will get a nice $$ tip when the next vinyls get released.

For the most part I don't mind it (the fact that I'm a part-timer probably helps), but I do get the usual patronisation and stupid questions... I haven't been poked by anyone, I will admit, but a year or two ago I did have an older woman 'honk' my shoulder because I "seemed nice and strong". Yesterday's guy is apparently known by a couple of friends of mine for oversharing, but I still have to wonder about just why he thought it was ok to follow an employee into the facilities (ok, to the door, but -) to ask him to look after your trolley for you...
