Post something good that happened today, Parts Two

[Phoenix]

Passed our house inspection. Kayleigh managed to make her room look decent. Only thing is, the housing person said the inspections will now be every 3 months instead of every 6 months.

  That might actually be a good thing.  Instead of letting everything build up for half a year, maybe
  Kayleigh will decide to stay on top of at least some of it, so there won't need to be a last-minute
  emergency marathon cleanup.  It's for the best! 

I was thinking along the same lines but I would find that incredibly stressful knowing someone was coming through every 3 months. I don't even like people I know coming over

I was surprised because Kayleigh actually cleaned her room really well. I can actually walk in there now and see the floor. But yes, it was very last minute and we don't need that stress.

Family dinner. Laughed a lot with the kids.

I saved $4K in the past 2 months and put it into my savings account for now.

You don't need to do that. I can look after it for you.

Well I didn't have the disgusting guy who sat in the seat in front of me yesterday on the train. That was good.

Bloody heck. He sounded like he was trying to eat a bowl of lumpy custard through his nose. I got up and stood at the other end of the carriage, near the door (our trains on most existing lines are double deckers, so you walk in and there are stairs to go up or down).

And then I made the mistake of giving some advice to a guy, probably in his 30s, who needed to go to Bondi Junction to see a back specialist. Turned out he was a bit special, and he'd never caught the train before. He normally caught taxis, but he had lost some money.

He was nice and very friendly, very chatty. I'm old and more tolerant now, I guess when I was younger he would have driven me nutso, getting in my space etc. Didn't seem intellectually challenged, but obviously a bit different. He had injured his back playing with his puppy. He showed me pics, he has an old english sheepdog, beautiful dog.

I acquired a free pushbike. A black cruiser type pavement bike.
Crushboi, myself and two of his friends went to the council abandoned car auction and the bike was in the back of one of the cars crushboi won for $20 (a Pajero, it even still runs!).

I will need to do a few things to fix the bike to make it rideable, like replace the chain and put brakes on it. I wanna turn it into a rat rod or chopper bike but I can't weld

I'll weld it for you, but you have to buy me a plane ticket.

I've seen chopper bikes, they look hard to steer.

Had an electrician out to the house to do some work today and it went well

[Minister Of Silly Walks]

I only had about 6 minutes to catch the fast train to the city this morning, and it takes me 8 minutes to walk from where I usually park to the station.

So I started jogging. And I didn't even get 50 metres/yards before a nice Tongan man in an SUV stopped and offered me a lift.

The best part is that he didn't turn out to be a serial killer!!!

My mother is visiting. Reprieve!

Found out about this happenstance a couple of days ago.
My "friend" is an overtly proud ingratuitous (asshole) barbequer of fine meats. He is proud of his "INDOORISH" grilling and meat smoking facility, which has carpeting, BTW, solid roof, windows (closeable to exclude all that damn wind we had) and last week end during fifty to sixty mile per hour winds This guy fires up his indoor (ventilated, obviously) smoker, wraps four pounds of bacon around two full pork loins and let it smoke.

It was a family thing, so no one was invited but his family.

This is not my pic or his, but an internet stolen pic used for illustration and to support my accusation of his ingratuitiveness (not a word, I know, BUT I just feel it should be).

I have challenged him on more than one occasion, but he just says I should come on by, there will be plenty.

I make bread fairly often in a bread machine. I have very dependable recipe for a huge loaf of plain white bread, which is delicious.

Today I made an herb bread with all things ramped up with spices to go with the chicken I prepared in my rotisserie along with some rice and Brussel's sprouts.
Patting myself on the back still. It was fabulous!

The week is finally over.
