🍫HAPPY EASTER🍫
I was thinking of listening to the whole of The Ring Cycle today. Wagner. Again. Was going great until the singing started. That’s only 4 minutes in 😐
I am one hour in, this is the music that created so many musical cliches.
It bothers me the singing is so loud, but then, it’s a performance and the people in the back rows have to hear too.
Modern me likes performances to be naturalistic.
Is that a hammer and anvil? I can hear Sauron forging the One Ring. 😟
Oh… Would have been my wedding anniversary today… I feel … Ok. Will always have residual anger-sadness that I wasn’t a ‘good enough woman’ and melancholy that the whole thing left me very never wanting to do it again. But at peace. And as these things go it was amicable and as good as it could be.
I was engaged for a long time and feel the same on a particular day of the year. I was very much “not good enough”, but over the years I’ve learned that sometimes people want things we simply cannot give them.
So true. And often on both sides. Thanks. Hugs.
Oh. Here’s some chocolate 🍫 to add to your stash.
Hehee. That makes everything better
Big hugs from me too. Rough. :(
Thanks
so many hugs
Thanks mate.
That’s rough. I hope you can reframe the good enough part. That’s something I work on in a slightly different context, and it’s hard. hugs
Yeah. There’s some water under the bridge now and we are mates and it’s ok. Just jumps up when you least expect it. Hugs back
Just because things don’t work out with a person, doesn’t mean that you’re not “good enough.” I’m glad you’re far enough away from that past that you can look back on it as the past, if that makes sense.
I totally agree.
All the making people feel they aren’t good enough, that’s nothing but nastiness and control.
I still feel angry at my family of origin and ex.
Has anyone in history had a bigger impact on humanity than old mate JC?
I have been thinking William of Occam is possibly the most influential human in history
his influence in bringing freedom of thought created modern scientific industrial western civilisation and westernised and industrialised the whole planet
Ohh that’s an interesting thought. I don’t know an awful lot about William of Occam but he definitely was the precursor to a lot of that reductionist thinking…
I went straight to old mate Genghis…
Logic and reality testing rules. Religion was relegated to spiritual and moral matters. Divine right fell down. The whole structure of society fell down. No longer did we have to say black was white just because the boss said so because the boss no longer had rights given to him by religion
😂
Muhammad springs to mind. Basically the head figure from any religion that got tied up with empire.
You mean Johnny Cash?
I mean…Mohammed? any of the religious figures? the people who “decoded” the Rosetta stone? whoever came up with the wheel? writing? Alexander Fleming? Babbage? many a4guments to be made
I may have over done it with the eggs…
Every time. 😂
My wife and I are trying an experiment this year - only get one thing for each other on the day, and then get something more on Monday/Tuesday marked down. I’ll take a couple of days to get to it anyway.
I’ve still spent about $80 in chocolate, which is ludicrous when you think about it.
The Easter bunny is as bad as Santa. It’s because we have to stash them and forget how much is already there, so we buy more!
Happy Easter 😊😊😊
Thank you for reminding me I have hot cross buns!
keeping mine for brekkie
Happy Easter to you!
What’s with all the blasphemous talk this morning? Respect to the guy who laid Cadbury choc eggs and hid them around the cave please.
How do we know if he hid ALL the eggs? Did he, mayhap, keep some for himself?
Possible. Perks of the job.
he is delicious
Bread, wine and a little taste of sand.
the spice must flow
I’ll pass on the armpits and groin area.
Blasphemy is a bizarre concept. As are most Gods. Why should I respect your theoretical arse for roaming around the countryside shagging everybody while disguised as wildlife?
Anyone Bayside/SE burbs smell that smoke in the air? I know it was forecast to be a foggy start to the day, but it has this weird aroma to it and our air purifier is going nuts.
Yes it smells industrial
ayup, there be smokies
They’re doing controlled burns over Easter weekend. Lots of them.
It’s been awful in the hills. Generally it’s cleared by the afternoons but this afternoon it’s hit quite thick. Can’t see the hills at all
Been hazy and smokey over here in the western suburbs for a few days. Today seems a bit worse though.
I use this tool to see the air pollution in real time. https://aqicn.org/here/
The closest one to me says that the from the 29th something suddenly polluted the air. Not sure what it is, but could be bushfires or a factory mishandling something.
The one in Sandringham says the air’s worse for some reason. Currently at “unhealthy”. Best to stay indoors.
the sandi and brighton ones can be misleading at times as they basically get caught in “pools”
What’s up with the Moon? Looks like a giant slice of an orange here in Sydney.
From Lygon st it’s a big pizza pie .
When an eel bites your thigh,
And you bleed out and die,THAT’S A MORAY!
Nothing like accidentally falling asleep when it’s still daytime and waking up 2.5 hours later when it’s night to confuse the hell out of you.
Gonna get worse next week when daylight savings kicks in (or ends… whatever)
Mmmm chocolate
No chocolate for me yet. I picked up a stomach bug so it’s the last thing I want right now
Pretty.
No Sleep team member checking in. I suspect the cause was an evening coffee, which is something I don’t normally do. Doesn’t matter, can have a sleep in
tomorrowtoday.NSTM here too 😎
For me it’s because I may have not kept up on the upkeep and cleaning while I was sick, and the housemate would go postal if he saw how many dishes are in the sink
I grew up reading these comics and now, finally, it’s an animated series. The Furry Freak Brothers. It looks interesting. The cat is now female.
I made a video from my dashcam footage from my trip back from Albury today if anyone is into that sort of thing.
Albury to Docklands in 24 minutes (the video is still processing so the link won’t work until 1:30am)
oh god, I feel car sick
