When my wife needed a new car, I said to her "do you just want my new SUV and I'll buy a shitbox for myself?" "No no no, I want my own". Ok. sure, i mean you helped pick the SUV but whatever. I subtly pushed her into a compromise we'd both be happy with on a hunch, and boy was I right cause she's nicked my car again! Officially, the reasoning is "Diesel is a lot cheaper at the moment", Fair! but would that really stop you driving your new (to you) car? I'm not buying it. I think I just got screwed out of another car by her haha
Oh man... I also forgot my mask when forced to use the bus. Hope I don't get roned because then I really will be screwed
If you're vaxxed up to date, hopefully you're fine.
Fingers crossed for you.
I got some blue blocker spectacles for the dark morning dog walks to take out some of the high intensity headlights and they're working a treat. It seems to have become fashion round me to have auto-high-beams on, which is a cunts act in suburbia with pedestrians about, IMO.
This mortgage app thing sucks. Looking like can only get enough for a revolting cookie cutter joint in Kath & Kim Land.
In better news I have found Bruce the Chimera Cat. We WANTS him we does.
Anyone here sleep with noise cancelling earbuds in? Looking to cancel out some snoring next to me. I'm a side sleeper though, so not sure how that'll go with earbuds in. Currently do not own any so can't really test it....
Um excuuuuuuse ME. Women don't snore. We purr.
Speak for yourself. I’ve been informed I can impersonate a MAC truck.
Hahaha.
Sometimes I wake from a nap to a blaring tv because "someone" can't hear it. Usually it's because I'm exhausted.
Have you tried a fan or similar? Sleeping near noise I find it to be partially an anticipation or regularity problem. A broken snore pattern isn’t too bad, a regular one is. The drip hole in the gutter pinging at precise intervals is unbearable!
NOT airpods pro. They suck for side sleepers.
Side sleeper and regular washing machine/snore like truck = Llab. Although I myself can’t sleep if someone gets to a snoring before me.
So I’ve tried a few, though YMMV. Anything hard is a no: EarPods, Loops, Earphones etc., all hurt in time.
Soft plugs for me take time to get use to. Ones I have used for riding have been Alpine and Surefire. ATM for riding I love the Surefire Sonic Defenders EP5. Haven’t tried them in bed, but they might be a bit too suctiony.
Honestly though, if I was a flat out back sleeper and could get my Sony 1000XM5 headphones to stay on… That would be heaven.
Friend of mine sent me the trailer for a movie called Late Night with the Devil. It looks so good. And no cinema near me appears to be showing it. Hopefully they'll update it since it's still got a few weeks.
