Good night everyone. Sweet dreams. 😘
My migraines occur due to a shoulder imbalance. My right shoulder raises up (like a shrug that’s stuck) and rolls forwards.
I asked chatgpt to give me some ideas on how to deal with it.
It gave me some exercises. I did 2 of them. The pain reduced significantly.
If Dandenong rehearsals are a regular thing you can swing by my place and I’ll have a look at it. I was no good at the business of myotherapy but I was good at the myo part.
If you think it’s nerves, have a read up on brachial plexus flossing.
You’re on this. You are super aware of your body and that counts for a lot.
and rest up , hugs
Fuck yeah YarraByte rocking up with the goods. Nice one Brion.
Oh hey there Yarrabyte 🤖
There’s this painting I once saw and I can’t find it again. It was a landscape painting of a cliff on a shore and looked very much like the 19th century romanticism oil paintings.
The layout looked a little like John Constable’s paintings of Weymouth bay but it wasn’t grey and overcast. It was glowing with slightly warm yellow light.
The sky was a desaturated yellow sunrise or sunset haze with clouds. The cliff rising behind was a crumbly warm orangey yellow. The incoming small wave was a light warm blue with a rill of white foam and the jagged rocks in the sea(?) were brown. There were a few smaller flat rocks towards the centre at the bottom of the cliff with a scattering of human bones near the larger central one, including a skull or a few skulls. Those were brownish.
It’s driving me nuts because sometimes I think I’ll have narrowed it down to a particular setting or artist and then I find another very similar but not quite the same in a big way. I think this is an entire genre I’ve stumbled on (Romanticism is apparently big on landscapes and there might have been a British movement) so I’m looking for a needle in a haystack.
I could also be chasing a ghost if the image drew from multiple works and was ai 💔
Edit: Hold up now. The texture of the Etrat chalk cliffs is similar and the beaches of Normandy were popular with impressionists. The jagged rocks and the flat angular rocks are also familiar.
I don’t know man. I know nothing about art history and am going by eye, off only a brief look and an unreliable memory
Looking at pictures now
Courbet?
tho I don’t remember him ever painting bones. Bones are usually a memento mori
It really did look like a Courbet and I had been looking through his but no luck so far.
Edit: Oh and it wasn’t the elephant head cliffs of Etretat, more like a rocky strand or a little bay. The shoreline curved inwards at the bottom left (with a rock the small shallow wave gently broke against) and the cliffs rose in the background on the top right.
I had initially thought Weymouth bay but it also looked a little like the Falaise d’Amont. But with some rocks at shoreline and on the sand. And it was more to the right of this view.
spoiler
Edit: The Monet isn’t quite the right style (there was a little more definition on details in the mystery painting) but the right sort of layout.
spoiler
The bones were very subtle looking scattered in among a cluster of rocks and at the base of the cliff as if someone had fallen.
or maybe a fisherman lost at sea was washed ashore
I asked and the painting was The Shore Of Oblivion by Eugen Bracht 🙃
There are apparently 8 versions (I can’t find them all) so maybe one is closer to what I had in my head.
The Shore of Oblivion are an amazing set of paintings! I fucking love them
I tried to find the versions but only could find two.
Damn, how does someone paint that good.
Yeah there’s 8 but only 2 are preserved from what I understand.
And lots and lots of practice! Painting over old canvas, over and over! Just constantly making paintings that aren’t perfect, until you can’t paint anymore!
Power outage in my area. WiFi not working. Some things are working and some not, so at first I thought it was a fuse. Must be a brown out then. Lucky I charged my shitty power bank.
Nice, the bot is working. I was trying to make one but got stuck in permissions hell with Docker
I usually add docker as a sudo user, it’s just a minor reduction in security.
Anyone got a recommendation for Dentists who do implants in West or Central? Boyo is pretty sure at least 3 of his are end of life. This will be highly unpleasant in multiple ways.
My old dentist in Melbourne was Brunswick Family Dentist. Had my wisdom teeth yanked there. I would go back to them if I moved back to Melbourne, even if they were a trek to get to.
Good morning YarraByte. Are you here to supervise?
Sky dark. Pavement wet.
Brunch chess and coffee with friend soon, then nothing else all weekend. PERFECT!
Parkrun PB in sunny Lalor this morning. Quite happy with that actually. Now at the stage where I’m enjoying running rather than feeling like it’s a punishment.

I think I’m going to buy a new car. I’ve had this car for about 19 years, so the process is a bit daunting.
Any advice regarding who to have inspect it? MyCar have an inspection service for around $250, is there any problem going with them?
I don’t think I’m up for trying to sell my current car privately, so I’ll probably trade in even though it won’t be worth much. I also have no idea how you actually pay for something that costs that much these days - last time I was in the market the standard was a bank cheque.
I used a mobile inspection service to check the car when I bought mine last year. I dunno, they’re all much of a muchness. I used ACE Mechanics. Had to call around a bit as the car was outside some service areas.
As for payment I used bank transfer - first for a deposit to secure the car, then the rest split it over two days due to hitting max daily limit. This was with a private seller though. No idea what dealerships do but I doubt cheques are an option even with them…
There were a lot of pumpkin blossoms this morning. I’ve pollinated the open female flowers and have a total of four potential pumpkins now.
I need to look more carefully though. Was moving a flower aside to see if any more females were budding underneath and then realised my hand was like an inch away from a bee inside it. 😨Luckily I didn’t end up needing the epi pen.
