Melbourne

Got one.

That took too much time shoulda got that waay earlier.

Got busy last weekend making a window panel for my portable AC. Current me is grateful for past me.

3rd migraine in a week, not pleased , will just try to sleep and rest it off

Ugh. So sick of my weeping face.. it's sloooowly getting better but this hot weather is pretty hard. Cursing myself and my nighttime stupidity every day. Everyone starting work early Monday and Tuesday in order to finish early. I can't because school run. So I've got Monday off that I know of because there's no point in them having me go in for a couple of hours. Possibly Tuesday as well. Nice but need the moolah. So between cursing myself and being skint I'm a miserable bitch lol. Going to look at animal pictures 😄

Got out for a swim this morning and goddamn it felt amazing. Boyo and I are now proper zonked though!

And just like that, the zonk begins.

Edit:

The zonk is contagious

That was a really gloomy swim just now down here. Loved it.

So the praying mantis is still hiding in my studio. I believe it's a male and I don't have the heart to tell it its head could be devoured upon sexy time. If it were smart it should get a little mantis helmet.

It is doing a wonderful job with flies though.

Spent the day with a close mate. Sat around talking all day in front of the aircon. Was fucking awesome! He's a really good guy, super chill and has a very grounding presence.

I'm going on a blind date with a friend of a friend of his which could be really cool. We have similar interests which is always nice. It'll be an interesting experience regardless of what happens.

Hope everyone is doing OK out there ❤️

Hilarity from the Other Place. No you should not ask your Ex to use a clone a Willy kit! Reminds me of the running bet I had with myself about how many pages into a thesis by a male sculpture student I could get without finding a replica of their cock.

Baaaad weather down the Bellarine - fishul warning Hope our bottom racer is OK plus anyone else down there.

I made a bit of headway trying to get a not to work on here. I figured out how to edit read-only files on linux. I just need to get docker to work now and I should be able to post to testing

After this, I never want to eat jelly, custard or ice cream again.

I'm starting to get cranky now.

Ahahaaa i was thinking about a midnight walk.

Fuck nyooooooo

In my undies, spent a whole afternoon watching Love, Death + Robots while drinking watermelon coconut water. Now door is open and I am enjoying a lime icy pole. This is good.

Shout out to Pilpel for making one of the nicest taramasalata dips I've ever had I think. I will even forgive them for putting 'DAIRY FREE' and 'GLUTEN FREE' on the label. Had some on buttered bread and more on some lettuce leaves. Mega delicious - they've got the balance of fish roe and lemon juice just right. Seriously moreish.

Very pleased it's not as hot as it it was meant to me. Thank you weather gods

After spending big money on the recent bike service they still didn't fix the puncture I brought it in for. If I need to replace the tyres I'm going to get the very sensible Schwalbe Marathons instead of these temperamental and expensive racing tyres

Stop what you're doing, it's time for an icy pole. And a drink of something non-alcoholic. Even if you just finished an icy pole, have another one please. Or an ice cream.

Keep up that hydration. 💧🍦🧊🧃

My lemon lime bitters cost more than a beer.

But what is sweet is the breeze in the trees up in Marysville.

Grampians and Colac getting hit with small but intense funderstorms. Hope no bushfires are ignited. radar

Anyone down round Geelong? Radar looks WILD down there

Edit: oh I see chat of this further down. Should have scrolled

Stuffed myself full of food and some wine for my dad’s bday.

On the verge of a food coma which isn’t good as I need to drive home soon.

Not a bad way to spend the weekend.

I need a fat sleep

Bacchus Marsh is getting hit hard. Would not be surprised to hear of flooding there by morning.

Hi friends. Happy Sunday 🥰

I’m out watering the garden at the moment.

Well, I am relocating and timing the sprinklers as necessary, patting the dog, listening to birdsong and drinking my morning coffee.

Cool breeze coming in from the west here in Thornbury. Very welcome. Still humid and too hot for my liking. Some lightning off to the west.

EDIT: first drops falling - gonna be epic!

On reflection, if I'd washed the windows AS WELL as watering the garden, maybe it would have come sooner ...

woke up hungry at 6, had breakfast and went back to sleep

now out for a second breakfast and a tiny shop (no it is not tiny i am getting a dozen eggs)

Apparently blackouts are kicking off in the northern suburbs. Stay safe everyone!
