It was an absolutely beautiful day to be outside mowing. The self propelled mower was definitely appreciated, the ground is quite lumpy and it makes pushing a bit more effort, combined with patchy clumps of grass rather than a proper lawn. I didn't do any edges, that can be a next time thing (and hopefully I'll have found all the batteries and charges and things I'll need by then!)

It's not exactly hot, but it is warm enough I've turned on the ducted cooling fan to push a bit of fresh air through the house. It's nice having that bit of air movement, I don't think the layout of the house would work to create much airflow even with windows open.

I'm going to the market. Is there anything I can get youse guys?

[โ€“] Nath@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago

Fresh donuts! I have not found a decent fresh jam donut in Perth. The closest I have found didn't have jam and were like $4ea.

I miss the Preston Market.

I'll get a ham and cheese croissant please!

Spent today bingeing season 3 of Squid Game. Managed to avoid spoilers so I was not prepared for that ending!

Oooh I don't think I was interested in watching, but now you've said this...!!

It's very sad in a lot of ways (what happens to my favourite characters is something I'm still thinking about ๐Ÿ˜•) but it's worth it for closure.

I went to Brunnie to shop for some extra jumpers and walking past the NQR window I noticed boxes of packets of Beef Flavoured Instant Porridge . It has no meat, only meat flavour. Indeed. That's called Gruel. They are now selling gruel on Sydney road. ๐Ÿซด๐Ÿฅฃ

Across the road they're playing Achy Breaky Heart club mix.

I can hear the raucous, obnoxious Saturday night doof doof and associated vibrations, and I am renewed in my desire to gtfo from here and never live this close to the city ever again...

E: tonight is particularly bad. It's coming from at least two of the houses/units around here. It is unprecedentedly loud. I want to stab someone. Aaaaarghghgh

I haven't been to the beach in ages. I shall go when I'm done with all my crap. Winter beach (no swim because cold) hits.

Even just being near water is a form of therapy for me.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago
