Bunnings trip accomplished. The snags at Fairfield were particularly good today - tender and juicy and full flavoured. Bunnings was, well, Bunnings. I have a feeling that that store is running down it's stock - or maybe is waiting on delivery from China etc. Distinctly empty shelves. Does anyone know when it's closing down in favor of the East Preston/Reservoir one?

Power outage in my area. WiFi not working. Some things are working and some not, so at first I thought it was a fuse. Must be a brown out then. Lucky I charged my shitty power bank.

I have arisen. Wattle birds are fighting over prime spot in the big gum tree. Might go walk down to the water before Marge gets here

There were a lot of pumpkin blossoms this morning. I’ve pollinated the open female flowers and have a total of four potential pumpkins now.

I need to look more carefully though. Was moving a flower aside to see if any more females were budding underneath and then realised my hand was like an inch away from a bee inside it. 😨Luckily I didn’t end up needing the epi pen.

Anyone got a recommendation for Dentists who do implants in West or Central? Boyo is pretty sure at least 3 of his are end of life. This will be highly unpleasant in multiple ways.

Oh hey there Yarrabyte 🤖

There’s this painting I once saw and I can’t find it again. It was a landscape painting of a cliff on a shore and looked very much like the 19th century romanticism oil paintings.

The layout looked a little like John Constable’s paintings of Weymouth bay but it wasn’t grey and overcast. It was glowing with slightly warm yellow light.

The sky was a desaturated yellow sunrise or sunset haze with clouds. The cliff rising behind was a crumbly warm orangey yellow. The incoming small wave was a light warm blue with a rill of white foam and the jagged rocks in the sea(?) were brown. There were a few smaller flat rocks towards the centre at the bottom of the cliff with a scattering of human bones near the larger central one, including a skull or a few skulls. Those were brownish.

It’s driving me nuts because sometimes I think I’ll have narrowed it down to a particular setting or artist and then I find another very similar but not quite the same in a big way. I think this is an entire genre I’ve stumbled on (Romanticism is apparently big on landscapes and there might have been a British movement) so I’m looking for a needle in a haystack.

I could also be chasing a ghost if the image drew from multiple works and was ai 💔

Edit: Hold up now. The texture of the Etretat chalk cliffs is similar and the beaches of Normandy were popular with impressionists. The jagged rocks and the flat angular rocks are also familiar.

I don’t know man. I know nothing about art history and am going by eye, off only a brief look and an unreliable memory

I think I'm going to buy a new car. I've had this car for about 19 years, so the process is a bit daunting.

Any advice regarding who to have inspect it? MyCar have an inspection service for around $250, is there any problem going with them?

I don't think I'm up for trying to sell my current car privately, so I'll probably trade in even though it won't be worth much. I also have no idea how you actually pay for something that costs that much these days - last time I was in the market the standard was a bank cheque.
