A Lovely 10C Site!

@c Gov't-owned telco tried aluminium cables for major works on the basis that it's lighter overall weight would make it easier to handle. Naturally, it didn't work out that way: for one thing it's just not as conductive as copper. Al conductors of 0·51 mm diameter were required to replace 0·4 mm copper ones. Plus the conductors were fragile & not fully compatible with the cable splicing machines we used. Somehow I managed to avoid working on the shit despite being employed by that mob for over 30 years. All-in-all a complete WOFTAM*

So I told the scamming bastard when he asked “how many lights are working on the internet wire…”
“You need to work on your script, mate. Wires as such don’t have lights. Now, fuck off.”

I'm expecting a courier with a small bag of tea, Earl Grey, (un-brewed) sometime today. Tracking service says it's five suburbs away. I know how to speed up such deliveries: take a shower. They always call while it's inconvenient.

Warmed up rice porridge with custard & sultanas incorporated is my breakfast plan today.

Just vomited most horribly thru my nose. I need to sleep with my head elevated. Prepared sofa in lounge room. Waiting for that room to heat up properly before moving there to attempt sleep.

Most pain & stiffness in knees medicated away: standard dosage of anti-gout meds is one, three times daily. I used three, four times daily to fix my strife. Now contending with nasal congestion, which prevents sleep.

@matigo Unlikely. Weather-related afflictions tend to react to changes in pressure, that's how sufferers can "predict" a change in the weather. In my case it was already filthy horribly cold & windy before the condition flared.
