Have refrained from sharing this before, buuuuuuuut ....
Came to work this morning, and found that someone had set up camp in the portico of the building I work in. No-one in sight, but mega debris left behind. I would like to know, from a purely scientific basis, what possible scenario would include :
7-8 empty and semi-empty packets of Dine cat food.
1 broken bottle of cheap sherry.
3 used syringes (capped).
a baby soother.
many many cigarette butts.
the wrappings from at least 2 soap bars.
various items of discarded clothing including underwear.
3 empty bottles of hair shampoo.
orange peel.
1 cigarette lighter (empty).
the supports and foam packing from a small pallet.
a secondhand paperback copy of Pride and Prejudice (much used).
a couple of packets of jelly babies (broken and contents scattered).
a whole onion (undamaged).
Can anyone enlighten me? And yes, I had to clean it up. Thank god for cheap woollies tongs.
I've read a bunch of comments from homeless people on reddit saying that after a while they lose respect for society ignoring them, both hoarding what ever is available and leaving garbage anywhere just becomes part of their life.
Me too. I could understand most of it, the cat food, the syringes and butts, jelly babies etc. but the baby soother, and hair shampoo were a bit of a facer.
Huh, so apparently all that wind has been blowing over a ton of dust as well - explains why my car looked like someone had splashed a light layer of mud all over it today. Fieldwork went well enough despite the gusts, and it was nice to be back doing something I feel competent in...
Glad to be out of the elements this evening just as the wind hits. It's nice to be spending my evening gazing at sox, who is still too slinky and elusive to photograph properly in the dim light of this apartment, and is still busy marking her scent on everything possible, including power cords, paper bags and plant pots. She herself smells remarkably of baby powder.
No more hissing, though I think it'll be a couple of days yet before we get to snuggle time. She was a bit unsettled by the wind noise and kept glancing up nervously while eating, but I think my standing near her while she ate helped calm her down.
Gorgeous cat!! Enjoy her company and stay warm, both of you :))
Last night, my dad and I went out, and someone my dad works with spotted his car and took a photo with it. He said he would do something to the car as a joke.
Fast forward to today, we see the mud on the car that looked like someone threw coffee on it. He thought that could've been what the work colleague did to the car, but it was just Melbourne weather.
they seem to be playing the "victoria is going bankrupt and will take all your money" card. Which doesn't even make sense ^unless you're a liberal voter^
I think trying to find any single draughts in my place would be futile, there are so many of them. Plus they mingle with the radiating cold coming through the walls and windows.
I'm looking forward to the new place being both double glazed and drought proof - everything is very well sealed and weather stripped there. I'm hoping as well as the temperature benefits it will mean less dust inside.
Woke up at 3 and couldn’t get back to sleep, tossed and turned and grumbled. Then of course half hour before the alarm went off, my body just switched off and went into a glorious sleep. Grr.
