Yeah if option 2 comes to an offer I’m pretty certain I’ll take it. But as I’ve found out a few times, it’s not a sure thing till you’ve signed a contract. Won’t be mentioning my spinal fusion at the pre employment medical this time ;) I did get called today to do a fill in support shift. But unfort...

Go for it, and the very best of luck. (y) Didn’t happen. Staffing issues so the boss had to fill in and cancelled the meeting. But also after I made that post the Govt announced changes to legislation around the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) and it’s going to get increasing harder and...

Final ever Grand Tour show.

I know most people think Clarkson is an oaf, but I’ve enjoyed all the Grand Tour productions as much as Top Gear and really enjoyed his Farm series

Curried sausages.

Did my solo shift with the Cerbal Palsy guy. Day started a bit rough as he had the sh*ts with his parents when I picked him up and he was in a foul mood. Then during the normal 20 min drive we got stuck on the motorway due to a major crash and it took us 1.5 hrs to get to the hardware store and he w...

But I'll bet there's quite a few spiders in that shot ?

I did walk through a number of webs being early morning. No hitchhikers that I noticed.

Sounds tough. You’re right about getting some stuff under your belt but maybe you have to state what type of support you offer in more detail? Top job though (y) (y) Oh it was entirely my choice to take on this job, I actually applied for it. But yeah, has cemented my understanding of the space I’m...

Did a 6 hr buddy shift supporting a 34 yr old bloke with Cerebral Palsy while he did a shift at a hardware store. Sounds simple right? I pretty much spend most of my time preventing him get backed over on by forklifts as he hooned about in his ‘new’ electric wheel chair. The rest of the time was han...

Let Byron have the day off school for his 18th and we snuck out for a pub lunch and he got to buy his first drink. He’s obviously smarter than his old man, because his second drink was a Pepsi. He also had a job interview for a cafe that happens to be just a 10 min walk from us and they are keen to ...

Picking up one of my MTBs from the shop & then 'maybe' going for a quick ride...I dunno - we're under an "Excessive Heat Warning" for the next four or five days...I'm not particularly impressed with the thought of that, TBH....I had a few ride days planned that won't really be an opti...

Bought and installed Starlink satellite internet today. The cable run from inside to outside through the wall/roof was the hardest bit, but all done in 3 hrs. Got an aftermarket dish to pole mount and a standard aerial pole from the hardware store and came together well. Main reason was to maintain ...

Mowed the lawns for the first time since I’ve been unemployed the top house section barely needed a buzz over but the back gully section took about 5 hrs!

Enjoying the spring weather with bacon and eggs on sourdough on our balcony

A heat pump hot water cylinder is a good call - being able to use it during peak solar should remove any HW costs too.

Powerwall 2 (14kW) coupled to 5 kW (post inversion) of solar.

Had a 14 Kw Tesla Powerwall fitted to our solar system. Should give considerable savings to our power costs and gives us a seamless back up power source during blackouts (not uncommon up here) Getting Starlink shortly as well, so we maintain communications/internet during blackouts as we have zero ...

Had friends to catch up with in the city, so took the Thruxton in. 1.5 hrs each way and half hour in turns from rural nice roads to multi lane garbage, but lane splitting ability saved me a good 30 mins and free motorcycle parking in Sydney CBD was the other win. Bike didn’t miss a beat, so seems my...

Great work Nutz! Sounds like an awesome opportunity if not a tad exhausting.

The post edit sounds like a real punish though
