Ah the joys of languages.

Went for a walk with my wife. Coming in the other direction was a family of mum and kid and a few others.

In Cantonese, "muscle" is pronounced like "gay yok". "Chicken" as in the meat is like "gaiy yok". Very similar pronounciation.

Mum was telling the kid he's out for a walk to build muscle. Kid keeps on telling their mum they wanted chicken meat. Mum keeps on telling them, "muscle, not chicken meat".

Couldn't help but laugh which got my wife's attention, so I translated the conversation.

Now my wife has once again asked me to reinstate support for Cantonese language. I did say no once again though as it's pointless.

We've had our ten drops of rain. Rain now finished.

I think Melbcat's still having some trouble with her ears. They've got a bit of a smell to them and she's still growing potatoes in there. I didn't do the twice daily follow up ear washes because she was stressed out from so much handling and I was physically wrecked. But I may have to do that now and potentially start the ear drops again.

Also I shrink wrapped my yarn stash in a space saver bag but despite double checking the seal the bag has repeatedly reinflated itself.

MAGNIFICO

And here's the rain now.

Is there anything happening in the city tomorrow? They've declared southern cross and half the cbd to be designated areas, ie they can search anybody and anything in there for any reason, including no reason

Big sky rumble grumbles down here on the bellarine. Looking at the BoM looks like more grumble rumbles on the way. Hopefully it really gets going tonight so we can get a nice piccy.

the rain gods blessed me with 46 drops of holy water

Watering the garden did not bring rain. 🤷‍♀️

Skies darkening. Thunder in the distance. Heavy rain radar blob heading my way. It’s been a while.

This weather also matches my mood, I’ve had the worst long weekend. Need an evening of self-care with background rain.

Oof today's going to be a rough one. 30° and 15-45mm of rain. It'll probably be 70% or higher all day. I hope I can go to the shops before hell arrives

warming up to listen to the last 5 hours of Rings of the Nibelung

this prelude is so beautiful, it sounds like each instrument is playing their own melody and they slowly come into harmony to play one melody
