I'm a nice person.
Bunyip was super needy today and wouldn't leave us alone. She does like having her photo taken though.

She lifted her head when I entered the room.

This was my view when I entered the bedroom tonight. They both look very comfortable.

Bunyip just got back from being groomed, do you think she knows how pretty she is?

Does she have to chew that on the bed? It kind of stinks.

This is my current desktop wallpaper and all I think when I see its adorable face is: how many souls have you feasted upon this day?

The Origin app shows me that in the early hours of the morning, when we are asleep, our energy draw from the grid does something. Any ideas?

A sleeping dog is a dog that isn't annoying me.

As the last of her litter there were a number of people who had said they would take Bunyip but flaked.
Thank you so much because thanks to you Oui and I have the best dog. She hardly barks - unless you're anything that moves within sight of our front door (with a few exceptions).

Even with Google Maps, which gives a shit load of live info on trains, going anywhere on them was usually an adventure.
It doesn't help that there are multiple companies operating them: green machine tickets are not compatible with black machine tickets.

We went to the (pretty small) aquarium too, because why not?

The view from Tokyo Skytree

I nearly missed the chairs again!

Not yet Bun Bun, we're picking you up tomorrow.

Massage chair bliss

Our relationship after 23 years
April 18, 2025 at 12:59 AM
I bought new shoes while in Japan (among other things).
April 18, 2025 at 12:53 AM
Oui has found the massage chairs.

Currently at Narita waiting for my flight home after a wonderful stay in Japan.
My XM5's have served me so well for their ability to block sound. Sometimes I've worn them just to block the sound they're so effective (and the charge lasts ages).
I want to come back already, but I miss my bed and dog.
April 18, 2025 at 12:27 AM
Oui's family is going home tomorrow so we're out having a (single) drink as bye.

Just listening to the Return of the King soundtrack on the way back to Tokyo from Fujiyama and my god I'd forgotten how amazing it is.
The Minas Tirith track has so much packed into it!

Here's a photo I took of Mount Fuji from a massive flight of stairs that nearly killed me.

This is our dinner in which we unexpectedly got similar dishes.
April 9, 2025 at 10:31 AM
A bird has somehow managed to aim a giant dump against the dining room window.

Bunyip is such a lovely and friendly dog, but I am conscious of how much she blends into the background of photos. So I try to get snaps when she is laying on something light coloured - even if it is a guests bed.

Prepare for a power-at-any-cost election campaign from Dutton. He will say and do anything if it means he becomes PM.
