Side Note

Does anybody know how to make a Voodoo Doll? Asking for a friend.

Does anybody know what a transformer costs? When the one was stolen from my car space in the garage I figured WTF at least I still had another on my actual scooter which was being parked in the other side of the carpark close to my actual home and closer to where I still hope to store and charge it. 

While finally getting to the point of negotiating a location to charge it. Some bastard returned and stole that transformer also. They cost over $500, if anyone is interested. 

Thankfully, I got another transformer through funding but was not putting it to use until I could be guaranteed it would not follow the others. Are you all as frustrated as I am explaining this? 

Sorry, it’s about to get worse.

The handyman installed an EV (Electric Vehicle) Battery cabinet to a wall near an Owner Corp power supply so I could charge my scooter finally. I moved my scooter to that location. It was charging.

By this stage, Autumn was closing in and day lights savings over. I don’t know if people are aware, but I am not waterproof and neither is my scooter. At least the electrical parts of my scooter. So, coming home after sunset on my scooter is often fraught with people not seeing me.

I also can’t see very well in the dark being half blind, so adventures on Hellonwheels ceased. 

Bruises

Bruises

A woman saw the bruise on my chin today. Six days later, she asked “You fall over? For what? Nothing!”

I didn’t bother explaining to her and shrugged and then the best response I’ve had all week, one word. “Fuck!” 

Also, it helps to know I was in an Italian supermarket. Well Greek, but wog I guess so sometimes I love the non-PC and non-business-like response I can get from this sector. I seem “white” to many people in Australia, but in the “wog sector” I’m part of their own, as my father was Italian and I look enough European in that setting, they will not mince words. I appreciate that and respect it.

About 2 weeks after my fall and the bruise was mostly gone, I was at my favourite cafe and the longest serving hospitality staff member Gabby said rather simply “It could have been worse, you could have lost all your teeth!”

And she was bang on the money. Respect.
