Graduated! But also, goddamn, they were super cheap with the celebration. The bar was closed after just 90 minutes - by the time I'd got my degree framed, they'd already closed the bar.

I usually wear a jumper on at work but todays a shirt and chinos day and my coworker told me I was looking swish. That made my day 🥲

I would like a cool change now

My dog just backed his arse up, launched himself and stole the treat out of my kid's hand before she could finish saying "you're such a good boy". He has no fucking shame.

Watching my cat's arsefur flap majestically in the fan wind

Risked it and gave myself a much overdue haircut. Absolutely nailed it. Saved myself an easy $30 there. Even took a little off the top!

I will admit that I can't see the back but it feels ok!

Lightning, huh

Caught some big strikes on video, but didn't get much of any rain in Burwood. With my room being 30c and the humidity, I am drenched in sweat.

Thunderbolts and lightening, very very frightening!

Captain Holt died...WTF

I like this warm weather because it's nice to never have the cold set off my sciatica. :)

Ok it’s slightly warm on the tin roof. AC shit itself. Did I turn it off and on again? Yes. Does it work now? Yes.

Gawd I need to take a deep breath after today.

I've recently just signed up for Coles/Flybuys and Woolworths Rewards (never really shopped enough to give it much thought) and it's a LITTLE creepy getting an email talking about specials on 3 of the exact items I bought 2 nights ago. The system knows what I'm buying now. Not that they probably didn't already track it by my payment details, but now I'm being shown it.

I do regret not doing this sooner as it seems that racking up points/dollars isn't too difficult.

what a weird and bloody horrible nightmare

Dreamt I was given half bad broccoli and cauliflower muesli for breakfast

Oh man, between a shitty work day and this weather I am a very cranky monkey this evening. Need it to cool off, and for my holiday to begin already.

Having my evap on yesterday morning led turned my downstairs toilet into a sauna for the day.

Thankfully the moisture has disappeared for now.

Hey earthlings what are these in my yard? I promise they're not dog turds.

Something has clearly escaped

Had to dress for all seasons today. Outside hot, office can get really cold. Not sure I succeeded, already getting cold. The thought of bringing a jacket to work on a tropical day was too much.

Tropical PSA: Remember your electrolytes. Water alone is not enough.

They're hatless elves, but i can't help seeing them as furbies in cool futuristic sunglasses

Whelp! Lightening hit the street behind my place and knocked everything out for a minute, it was like ear piercingly loud.

I have finished the process of Boosting my phone. It was not as painless as it should have been. Some sort of issue with the first SIM I tried. Was flawless with the second one.

I've been told to go back to Coles to replace the faulty one. But it was $2 and I'm lazy.

My eye make up melted. 😵 I'll wear powder eye shadow next time.

I just went to pull out a weed I didn't recognise. Stinging nettle apparently. Ouch.

night everyone , sweet dreams

Maccas are doing 30c (choccy) soft serves on the app today

Loving the cool change and breeze. Now all I need is to sleep through the night 🤞

I finally got some good news on the health insurance front - the Transfer Certificate finally arrived, and even though I haven't had extras for a few years they waived the waiting periods for that as well as for the hospital cover.

Seeking recommendations for an ironing board and cover. It's for mum, she doesn't want anything ever, but she wants this, and she's about to buy a shit one to use up a gift card. She loves ironing. High budget.

Oooo. I hear rumbling.

Has anyone else noticed brown beetles at night time that have a low pitch loud buzz when they fly? Saw one a couple nights ago and then a few more again tonight. Haven’t seen them before. Friend or foe?

Too hot weather. And how do we get rain and thunder while it's boiling

dear brownouts:

feck off, there's fuck all electrical activity here rn

Seeking suggestions for a cafe, open Saturday afternoons till 5pm or later, around Greensborough or surrounding suburbs.

Catching up with bestie and wanna take her somewhere noice without deafening music but good coffee. Focus here is being able to talk freely and hear each other.

Every place I've checked so far closes at 2 or 3pm. And this is just a coffee (& maybe cake) catch up.

Any and all suggestions welcome. Thanks.

Wondering if “spice up your life” had had sudden jump in streams since Sunday?

i probably shouldn't go out
