About to get up a ladder and clean some gutters but....
Spoke to the old man last night and was reminding me about the ambulance vic subscription.
Then he decided to tell me about one of his buddies who recently had a fall off a ladder.
Apparently he fell backwards and his leg got caught between 2 steps quite high up, leg snapped in half and he was just dangling there until his wife found him an hour later.
Fucking nightmare fuel really bad timing.
Oh bad fire up around Beaufort :-(
EDIT: Western highway closed and VLine suspended both ways from Ballarat <-> Ararat. Vic emergency link if anyone needs it https://www.emergency.vic.gov.au/respond/
At long last after weeks of procrastination I took my haul of manzano chillos from the fridge (and washed off some fuzzy growth...) and a head of good garlic and made this forbidden smoothie
Chucked it into an ice cube tray to make little cubes for wintertime pasta/stir fry.
Also took the uselessly spicy Thai chillis and blitzed it with ginga, garleck and little red shallots plus some lime joos, and dried shrimp, fried it all in oil. THIS thing is almost unusably spicy. I hope it mellows out over the next few weeks. attention @Bottom_racer
hawt hawt hawt
RIP my fingers though, I was doing well until I got some spicy oil on one hand.
I forgot to water the plants all of yesterday because I was in the shittest mood/energy so when I greeted them this morning I felt a wave of resentment radiating from their wilted leaves. I will promise to give them a supplemental water as needed today.
This motherfucker is just growing like there's no tomorrow though, ever since I put it in a pot with a water reservoir. Time for a big chop tomorrow, freeze the leaves for use over winter, hopefully the new growth will stabilise over the next couple months.
healthy boi
Godspeed to those of us with warmer than expected rooms
Prime minister on the radio basically admitting he would never force Coles or Woolworths to divest, but said oh we've got an inquiry, oh we are looking at mandatory code of conduct with penalties.
Cut the shit that is fiddling around the edges. And breaking up large companies is not a Soviet policy. If anything it's a pro capitalist policy by returning to a more balanced market with greater competition.
Dearest Vietnamese Ice Coffee,
My love for you is unbridled and everlasting.
Forever yours,

Mostly passively cooled house 24.7 degrees, outside 31.6, still bearable inside. We have no A/C, only cooling is ceiling fans and curtains on only 6 out of our 30 windows. I’m glad we aren’t having too many hot days in a row this summer.
Just got an email from ex-work asking me to return a whole bunch of equipment: monitors, mouse, keyboard, adapters, USB hub, etc.
I can't even, they don't even keep track of what they've given out?? I only took the two adapters and the USB hub because I have a dual monitor PC set up at home already. Mentioned this to them a thousand times, and they think I took monitors, a keyboard and mouse home on PT?? As if I would use their crusty keyboards over my mechanical one haha
Good grief, I was slightly regretting leaving (I shouldn't, I was suicidal) but I'm certainly not now.
I'm not going out today, so they will have to wait till Friday or Monday.
I have secured a date with the God Emperor in March.
Bless the maker and his water.🪱
I'm so sweaty 😭
I may eat my words, but I'm not too phased by the heat until it kicks over 40.
Kind of happy to be spending the day in hospital just for the air-conditioning! Poor housemate was cranking the evaporative cooling as I was walking out the door.
Just looked at the bom website - Melbourne's forecast top temp is the highest in Australia ...
Had a lovely beach day in Jan Juc yesterday. So nice without the crowds. Then stayed for the sunset in my favourite viewing spot.
Glad I chose yesterday to go, I think today would have some with some sand wind whipping.
Followed up a package which I hadn't received. Apparently was posted yesterday, so now I am in a state of anticipation. Pakige.
Strange sleep utterance of the day: people are all duct tape
Cat has gone back to sleep… meanwhile I’m struggling to stay awake and work.
Fingers crossed the weather isn’t too nasty today, worried about fire more than power outages
I got given some used items from work, some cushions and a seemingly very big expensive bean bag that I'll need to wash before using.
I barely managed to fit the bean bag into my back boot of the car, I have feeling that it's going to be way too big for my place but it might be nice to be able to lean back into a bean bag.
Happy Margarita Day!

Mosquitos are out with a vengeance.
Got out all my art stuff today. Finished fixing up the trolley/organiser. Sorted my books. I have a new set of chinese water colours and a dinosaur colouring book I'm going to use to practice brush skills. I have a book on calligraphy page layout ordered and soon to be "pakige". 🤗 So excite.
Hmmm yes, that electrical safety issue our company identified 2 years ago will be fixed this time. Want to buy a pretty tower in Paris?
Is $1500 reasonable for a conveyancer? Via the www.home-in.com.au portal.
