    The last time I bought USD cash from the bank I walked in, spoke to the teller who hooked me up and I was out within maybe 4 minutes including them going to get the cash for me.

    Today I was directed to take a seat as if I was there to apply for a home loan and nearly 50 minutes later was walked to a back ‘office’ and sat down like I was applying for a home loan, had to verify my email address, phone number and then verify via the mobile app that I was indeed sitting in front of someone at the bank, then re-state what I wanted. The guy went and got a single form for me to sign stating they’re giving me 4 x $20 and 2 x $10 notes, then quizzed me about what I do for a job and about my large savings account and what I’m saving up for, and I said no I’m not looking for a home loan right now, then he just walked me to the teller which I’d been sitting next to who had been there with no line in front of her for the entire time I was there and she sold me the cash. I very rarely complain but I complained and remained obviously angry that this was taking so long during my entire chat with the guy in his little office but he still felt it was a good idea to give me a little quiz rather than just sell me the fucking piddly $100 cash I came in for.

    CommBank, you fucking SUCK now.

      That looks like a pet rabbit, I wonder if it is possible to catch it and have a vet scan it for a microchip.

      You’ll prolly need a towel and a heap of patience. Try to throw the towel over the bunny and that should keep it calm, and if you pick it up it is best to tuck it into your elbow and armpit while keep it’s back legs supported, and it’s front legs in your other hand. This should stop it from kicking and possibly breaking its back.

      Leafy greens should be a good coaxing method, and carrots. Or you can just take the time to befriend it and it may be more amenable to being touched.

        it’s actual size

        puts monocle on, judging by the diameter of the bike’s rim (hazarding 24" kids bike) it’d be 1.5 cos lettuces long and 1 big carrot high.

        It’s ears are flop ears and the photo doesn’t show it well but it has a crinkly, wavy coat. Slightly darker grey irl than the picture shows too. It’s larger than a football but smaller than a watermelon.

          Yeah probably a dwarf lop or a Lop of some sort. Defo someone’s pet. Doesn’t look too feral. Prolly has a microchip I reckon, but if no one has posted about it in your area it may be that it escaped a while back. Dunno, but a very very adorable addition to your yard!! 😍

      So pretty! Do you maybe have any local magicians struggling with their signature trick because their ‘assistant’ has escaped?

    Morning all! Bunny Peeler has been discovered in a kind of nest against the fence, made from a hollow between the fence and some grassy orchid-like flowering plant. It’s hard to get to (hidden behind a rose and a geranium) and looks like they’ve been living in there for a while, munching on violet leaves and such (the hollow is well worn).

    So I was cleaning my teeth when I heard this odd sound of water glugging in the shower.
    Turn around to see Zooks with her fluffy bum hovering over the drain, pissing down it.
    Saves on the scooping, I suppose…

    I need to wash some dishes but can’t do that while also lying down in bed.

    I’m sure you understand the difficulty.

    I had to buy a few things from the supermarket, it’s a minefield of really really bad food/snacks. I was strong, only good food and necessities were bought. At home now having afternoon coffee, with skim milk , and some peanut butter toast.

    Vintage LPs have been bought, more Peter Cook and Dudley Moore and some music. 👍

    One of my neighbours is having a hard time.

    They’re been playing ‘Nothing Compares to you’ the Sinead version, for like 40 minutes now.

    I’m so tired but it’s the nice kind of tired. Maybe it’s the happy chemicals from the gym this morning.

    Looking forward to smashing some guitar. It’s been a while since I’ve been so keen on playing. I usually write with piano and bass then add guitar, but it’s nice to just play without trying to make something out of it.

    Practising singing isnt going too bad. I can feel/hear that I’m out of shape. Too much breath to reach certain notes. Gets better with practice though.
