Hang in there. It’s nearly over.
So excited to work from home today in my non air-conditioned apartment!

Eye protection was a good call. I started wearing safety glasses a few days ago, today Miss Moo shook her head and a lens caught a few microdroplets of ear medicine that would have gone dangerously close to my eye. I washed my face and lips just to be sure. She’s still not big on wet food. Won’t eat it.
I’m still finding tiny pieces of glass sticking to my feet. The stick vac isn’t that powerful and struggles to get into corners. When the broom is dry from its quick wash I will sweep

I would not normally have any reason to say this, but tonight I wanna be in Warrnambool. It’s 22 deg there.

Has anyone bought a house using a buying agent? i like the idea, but a lot of them seem to be very expensive & aimed at high end property and very expensive, I’m looking for someone who is affordable and a flat fee not commission based. Any feedback or recommendations?
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I used one - Select Property Advisers. Worth every cent in freedom from hassle. Flat fees - keep dreaming. They all charge commission.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Do you mean this one selectpropertyadvocates.com.au/buying/ ? It says on their page they charge a flat fee. I was also looking at www.propertyhomebase.com.au which charge flat fees.
kruetz@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I was recommended Brant at Peritum Property by word of mouth around 3 years ago. He offered a reasonable flat fee option, sat us down and walked us through everything, helped us to figure out exactly what we wanted and could reasonably expect within our budget, and looked after everything.

I started up my PC to play BG3 again, and have just been distracted by everything else instead.
Finally sitting down now. In the time it has taken me to traverse Act 2, my partner has completed 3 playthrough 😭 sometimes I hate that I cannot concentrate on games or hobbies for as long as I used to. Ugh
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 7 months ago
You and me both. It’s like… why is this so hard to stick at? It’s a leisure activity!
StudChud@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I have suspicions and theories as to why I’m like this, but I certainly require a therapist to help with unravelling it all.
We can only be kind to ourselves 💜

I can’t play anything that warms up my GPU. My cooling is simply too good and actively heats my room by dissipating that heat.
So I’ve been playing lots of Halo The Master Chief Collection. Starting up my legendary Halo CE playthrough again!
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Still waiting on my new rig To arrive so I can play it. Super excited!
StudChud@aussie.zone 7 months ago
It’ll be worth it, I have already planned what I want to do when I replay it. Stuff I’ve done that my partner didn’t realise could be done. It is insane how much freedom there is with certain choices, even combat approach.
You’re in for such a good time!
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Subnautica complete in 34 hours 🙌
Nath@aussie.zone 7 months ago
If that’s your first playthrough, that’s incredible!
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Thanks, yes first play through. It’s an average time tho. Incredible game.
I think I might move on to Pacific Drive. Just came out last month. Looks like a similar concept, but land based.

Just put out a second load of washing. It should dry quickly in this heat.

Ah you’re right, closed is my pharmacy,
So today I’ll take it easy.Pilk@aussie.zone 7 months ago
What’s the best way to set up a temporary spare bed for a guest?
Would need to buy the mattress or whatever but I do have all the linen/pillows already.
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Grab an inflatable air bed from kmart or similar if you don’t want to give up the space permanently. They’re pretty comfy for a couple of nights.
Nath@aussie.zone 7 months ago
If you are rich, these folding beds are the best way to set up a temporary spare bed. Maybe you’ll get lucky and someone is offering one second hand cheaply?
If you are not burdened with too much money, I recommend these self-inflating things. We take them camping and they’re a lot more comfortable than they have any right being. Your guest will effectively be sleeping in the floor, though.
Pilk@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Thank you for these two extra search terms! And the advice
Ntcc661@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Got to the beach with junior. Beach Rd is very busy already. Parking is being quickly claimed. So glad we got here when we did.
oztrin@aussie.zone 7 months ago
It was packed out in Parkdale when I arrived at about 7:20.

I have decided to donate my bike if I can find someone who wants it. It is currently mostly a collection of parts that need to be put together, as I intended to do some repairs and got as far as buying parts and tools and pulling it apart before losing enthusiasm. I have made enquiries with the local communiy centre that does regular bike repair and demonstration workshops, I’m hoping they will be interested in taking it to use as a demonstration project that can then be donated as a working bike to someone who needs it.
dumblederp@aussie.zone 7 months ago
CERES or Bicycle Recycle might be interested. If you near Springvale I can give you a hand assembling it. I like working on bikes.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Alrighty. Off to get a haircut then “coffee catchup” with general manager this afternoon.
Did not want to get up this morning.

Mate, you’re in the wrong thread

Went for a drive out to Altona for a crunchwrap supreme from Taco Bell and then over to … I just checked the maps and apparently it’s Laverton North but it’s not where I’d say Laverton North is… anyway I took the car over to “Laverton North” for a nice wash to get the bugs and road off from my long weekend adventures.
Lovely brrr’ing around with some tunes and AC on a warm evening.

Not a breath of wind. House is hot, outside is lovely …

Can’t sleep. Just going to get up and do something. Hate laying here.

The cool breeze is slowly cooling down the place. Already broken yesterday’s low :)
Still, would be nice to be a little colder for sleep, but I’ll take all the wins I can get
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Tired now. Must sleep
wscholermann@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Just started watching Yellowstone. Not usually into this genre but it’s intriguing so far.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I had to go back to a previous mass effect save game. Didn’t gather enough resources. Bugger.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 7 months ago
The wildlife water dried up and blew down while I was asleep. It’s the lightweight material, aerodynamic shape and the placement. I put it there for a reason but inconvenient. I put it back, peeled the huge block of ice out of the silicone bowl/jelly mould to weigh it down and filled it the rest of the way with water from the tap.
That should keep the platter held down for a while, keep everything cool, and slowly refill the water as it melts.
Catfish@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Bloody PH bus timetables! Not going to make it into work before the heat. Razzum Frazzum.

Good morning. Bedroom is 28C like yesterday but it feels way warmer. I suppose it’s the humidity.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 7 months ago
So humid outside right now and I can smell the sea.

I need to sand the nib of my charcoal pencil to get the angle more gradual, because as it is the tip narrows to a point a bit steeply and creates a slight curve. That’s why marks were ending up lower than I wanted, because when I tried to hold the pencil vertically the curved side was easier to brush on the paper than the flatter side of the tip.
This happened because I didn’t have a sandpaper block and used an emery board. The smaller size encourages me to use smaller movements and just quickly get it sharp than sweep it in larger arcs to get a flatter angle/gradual sharpening to a point. I can possibly fix it with the emery board but will have to be conscious of what I’m doing

Watched half of Poor Things. The camera work is stunning, the production design amazing. The story is trite. I quit half way through.
Then I watched American Fiction. I lolled when Thelonious observed that many stories are " they discovered masturbation"

Apple Cinnamon bunz 🤤

I like big buns and I cannot lie
You other loaves can’t deny
That when a bun walks it’ll blow up my waist
As I stuff it in my face
The bakery I rung, want to munch a loaf
'Cause you noticed that bun was stuffed
Deep with bits of raisins
I’m starved and I can’t stop eatin
not my best work sorry lol
