The small joys today thread (a bit of Yang for FoA Yin of late)

SJ: mates convinced me to try play padel with em, its pretty fun.

NSJ: scouring gumtree/FB for cheap padel rackets/shoes.

SJ: Realised i had a spare wheelset to rob the exact cassette ratio and rotors i was chasing.

NSJ: crashed the NFE on the way to work this morning. There was a fibre optic cable or similar across the road and it tangled in my front wheel and sent me down hard in an intersection. Plenty of grazes/bruises, nice bump on the head and I’ll need a new helmet.

SJ: could’ve been much worse, I basically shot into the next lane cos I couldn’t steer, could’ve been taken out by a car quite easily.

NSJ: ouch.

heavy, glad to hear your somewhat ok

new bike day?

SJ: FoA is BACK!

How’s the bumps and grazes going Jono?

Neck is still a bit sore from the whiplash. Head is still tender but only if I push on it really hard so I just don’t do that. Grazes on my arm are a horrible weepy mess which is annoying rather than painful.

You get checked out by a Dr?

Yeah, went to a Medicare urgent care place. Got checked by a doctor who spent more time telling me about his property portfolio than he did checking my symptoms. A truly bizarre experience.

Get any investing tips?

Buy low sell high apparently. Also have a high income, preferably that of a doctor or higher. And still complain that interest rates mean that you worry about every cent. I told him to sell at least one of his properties and spend more time with his kids. I refrained from ranting about property hoarders ruining the housing market for everyone.

Probably saved yourself a rectum inspection by not mentioning that.
