Hey man. Coupling and parenting is tough, believe me I know. Among other things the constant tiredness is really something that makes relationships hard, communication becomes really hard and misunderstandings, assumptions, and unfortunately resentment can build pretty quickly and easily. We’ve been going to counselling for about 18 months this time around, had a break before that and before that about another year with a different therapist. Seems like we are in similar boats as I was requesting it for a fair while before my partner agreed. If I can give you some advice for the counselling…try to go in with a completely open mind, as in don’t assume you know everything about the feelings involved, situational history etc. I had to come to terms with some stuff about myself pretty quickly that I didn’t even realise I did/do… If you both go in ready to work on things, ready to understand the others viewpoint, ready to be honest…that’s the best you can do. The people you were are likely still there, the things you love about your partner are likely still there, just that they’re being hammered by responsibilities that no one knows the full extent of before having kids. I hope things improve for you, and you and your partner can have some real understanding and compassion for each other.
Dead Man is my favourite film, and my favourite Billy Bob Thornton line - By God, I’m hit. Lord have mercy. Burns like hellfire. You son of a bitch. I’m gonna have to kill somebody now.
Woke up with a headache this morning, so getting out was a struggle. Glad I did though, as always. Managed 10km (53min), by not turning home just yet a couple of times. Doggo got into the rhythm too which helped.
Yeah, pretty common. I’ve a lot of injuries from previous work as a climbing arborist, neck, back, shoulder etc. I have a great bed and pillow set up, but if I sleep slightly wrong I get headaches. Going for a run settles everything down though and they go away. Just hard to remember that when lying in bed prior to.
Can confirm. The drive north from Adelaide is just amazing. I pulled over one night off the highway, drove about 1km west along very flat easy ground and camped for the night. The stars were just unbelievable.
Sophie Wilcox was in my sister’s class at school. She got very carried away with her childhood stardom, but fair enough, she would have been 11 or 12 or something.
I don’t want to visit reddit, so I came here; Yet this community seems so small. I wanna ask how to build something that is not ugly mess, is it fine to ask it here? Would the Minecraft Forum be a better place for this?...
Not that I’m any good at building, but a common strategy I’ve seen on various YouTube channels is to have a rough reference picture for what you’re working towards. An image search for something and adding the word concept or concept sketch usually gives back something good. It helps you remember the final look you’re after.
Down at the beach again for the weekend, so a good sea-fresh run this morning with the doggo. Consistently keeping a 5min/km pace now and starting to feel stronger too.
I’m working towards that I think. I’ve done a trail run or two expecting to have music but my headphones haven’t worked, so just had the sound of my footsteps and nature - was just as you say, very meditative… Currently using a 150bpm playlist though to get to a consistent rhythm. So hopefully that’ll build and I can start running free of music.
Got the telescope out. Got very satisfying woah’s from the kids.
Edit. Slight edit adding some sharpness as it seems the eyepiece was a little smudged. But otherwise straight through the eyepiece with my phone. Running with my recent Android Auto Wireless dongle AliExpress win, I’ve ordered what I hope to be a mount for my phone so I can do some proper long exposures using the tracking unit…

Just a general thread about running. How’s your running going? What are you training for? Did you get new shoes? Sporting an injury etc.

Can I ask for how to remedy my build here?
