not there yet

I'm on my second battery and am more hopeful. the first showed up looking like a scale model of a proper motorbike battery.  but, to be fair it did actually start my beautiful classic 500, so it did it's job i suppose.  but it will be recharged and retired of to do duty on Lurgy running lights and so forth.  
the second battery,  a direct brother of the original,  arrived yesterday and i hope will be fitted up tomorrow.  It fuss the battery box and retainer bands exactly,  so there should be no problems.  Of course ask the lights and fittings are good for rego inspection,  i just need to get there.  needing someone to cover the fort here while I'm out and with Joe away,  i need Mia to stay still for an hour and that's ac tough ask.  it looks like tomorrow is out, but hopefully Friday will be the day.  I'm not getting my hopes up though because each time i attend the roads authority i have two options,  to pay through the nose to get what i need,  or am told to go fetch more papers.  I personally think it ludicrous that the sole agency responsible for our interactions with state government feign they have insufficient information to confirm our identities.  I'm betting they know just abhor everything about us and gain some sick pleasure from seeing us grovel as we haemorrhage cash.  I'll hit publish now before this moves to rant mode.

As a caring parent I struggled to find a way.to remove her pain, the passage suggests that being present and supportive is sufficient. Amen.  This passage probably helps to reset my family's tendency to go all in to "help" others. We'll be actively stressing our big hypertensive hearts to cook, clean and clearup. Sure this gives the burdened person a rest, but also takes their agency away. It would be better to, ...

Putin invades Ukraine, kills thousands of civilians, evades justice.  Jenkins helps defend Ukraine and is gaoled.  Is this right?  Who made these rules? Who polices politicians?

its more than just floor sanding

   Right now I  having a coffee, its dawn, my chest & nasal passages are dust effected, I feel ecstatic. Not cartwheels in the mode ecstatic, just really chuffed & happy with myself.    Happy to have begun the job & stoked to see the finished product.it is a job thats been put off. There have been many real & imagined obstacles; years ago it was an unsupportive griping partner who would have spoiled the work, having a bustling household wherebye quarantining the main floorspace would have been impractical & a poor result guaranteed. But nowadays I only need concern myself with my young adult son, two sensible cats (they will avoid the floor) & a highly strung dog who will walk over a wet floor to make sure his bed is still there.  So, anyway with the risks managed by time, I'm chosen to begin & in this case, that is definitely that most difficult step. Clearing the floor space & preparing the house for a solid dusting & h...
