I braved it to the city today and back with a mask on the whole time. The most weird thing has had to happen at the end. Tram driver swapped over at Barkers Rd and the new driver was saying things to himself while setting up, like "adjusting my seat" and "reaching out for the mirror" and I thought it was some cool.OH&S thing like the train drivers pointing and naming things in Japan.

Then he started mumbling to himself... "they said it was going to rain but it didn't..." "look at how bright those lights are"... and he had this really sullen, angsty young look about him... and before I could hear what else he had to say I had to get off.

Where is the rain though, it's been blowing plenty but not very wet. Not that I'm complaining

So question: when you have to rate something that doesn't apply, do you give it a 5 or 3 star? eBay always asks me to rate seller communication, which is almost never relevant. They mark it as posted, and that's generally the extent of the "communication". I have been marking that as 3 stars, but I was thinking, that probably brings down their averages, right? I'd be annoyed if my feedback rate went from 100 to 99.97% because someone thought something was irrelevant.

Seems like a bit of a disconnect between how I issue ratings and how I take ratings into account. All this online review stuff seems to have skewed the bare minimum rating from a 3. i.e I probably wouldn't consider a shop or seller that's only rated 3 stars, even though in my mind, 3 stars means neutral, when it comes to reviews, 3 stars seems bad

My new slippers were delivered today, but they took them to the post office for me to collect. I could have had toasty warm purple feet tonight, but instead I have to go out on a day with possible small hail predicted to collect them. ☹️

Bob Newhart has passed away. The star of the sitcom Newhart (who played Dick) as well as others.

The classic line hi I'm Larry, this is my brother Daryl and my other brother Daryl came from this show.

The Boys is such an accurate parody of The USA. It's as if the writes are writing the election cycle

Funny and scary

Sending some warm, muggy, late night love…

Man, it’s been years since I’ve spent time in the more chaotic parts of Asia. Favs atm are:

  • A passenger on a scooter legit carrying a ladder upright.
  • Gramps on his scooter living his best life riding at about 10kms an hour.
  • Women riding scooters in PJ’s

Living it up in Phnom Penh
