    Old man changed the aircon remote language to polish somehow. So, had a crash 2min course in polish and now I’m fluent and can fix all your accidental language changes from polish to english. But seriously, that is a severely difficult language.

      It’s an insane language! I just cannot get any pronunciation right at all with Polish 😭

      Sounds like when I bought a phone from overseas and it was set with Chinese as the default. That was a fun experience.

      I’ve had a few Polish friends over time and when I have a go at saying things, they all say I speak Polish like a Russian. They’ve not said it unkindly, but…

    Have made a gingerbread dough and it’s chilling in the fridge. Miniest made me do it 🫡 I’m sure she likes to eat the dough as much as the finished gingerbread, it smells like Christmas. I just realised I don’t have a gingerbread emoji, so 🫚🍞

      Home made gingerbread is the best!

    Not so bad outside as it’s overcast rather than skin-peelingly burning hot. Wait for blood test took an hour but at least it was air conditioned inside so I caught up on my crosswords. Grabbed some Argentinean empanadas for lunch on a whim (yum!!!), and a late coffee… Apt has stayed pretty nice and cool so far. I’ve been running the extractor fan in the bathroom which I think is kinda sorta helping to suck cool air in from the lounge via the bedroom?

    Cringing a bit at how much drying I’ll need to do at the laundromat. I’ve put the towels to air dry a bit in the bathroom until I’m ready to go so there’s less paid drying involved. So dumb to have to use a dryer on a day like today. I won’t be here long enough to warrant buying a dryer for the unit, either… once I’ve opened up more space here I’ll look into some strategic clothes horse positions for drying work clothes and the like.

    I will say there is something about living within walking distance to SO much stuff and activity (but not having to hear most of it at home). It’s like being on holiday in a downtown airbnb.

      What you’re describing sounds like heaven to me at the moment.

      I cannot wait to leave this area and side of town. It was a giant waste of time anyway.

      • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I can definitely appreciate how you feel, it’s how I felt when I first came to Aus and the first few years were all in deep suburbia where i couldn’t fathom the way of life. I can kind of see why Richmond rentals attract a premium compared to say the equivalent in Hawthorn, simply for the vibrancy and density. Still overpriced IMO and no longer my thing but I can try and enjoy it while I’m here (while trying not to spend too much… none of this fun is for free)

    Not hungry this morning. Have made a large jug of peppermint tea which is currently cooling on the countertop prior to being put in fridge. Some essential shopping only this morning, then I’m going to sleep the day away. Punctuated by peppermint tea over ice. Cool change is due fairly late tonight so not looking forward to this afternoon.

    source
    • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Not hungry here either. Just going to get a blood test done, pop over to IKEA, then hunker down and snooze for the rest of the day aside from doing loads of laundry then taking them to the laundromat dryer (unbelievable in this heat - but no outdoor drying areas here). Maybe assemble my bed frame. I need a day of solid rest, today’s probably the best day for it.

      I’m looking forward to the rains lol I hope it turns into a storm because a summer storm would be lovely

    Today as an inside day. Going out for some drinks when it cools down, but otherwise, just going to chill/zonk out 😎

    Walking in the drizzle listening to music is one of my favourite activities. Fuck yeah.

  • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Great. That’s all I need.

    I think the split system using AC is leaking into the roof and wet spots and stuff have appeared.

    Only noticed it today.

    No proof that it the AC but I can’t think of any recent rain that could have caused it.

    Dammit :(

    source
    • Bottom_racer@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      From experience get on top of that asap. trust me.

      source
      • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Just trying not to stress about it but I guess I am and it’s coming out in really bad ways right now

        source
      • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I’ll have to.

        It’s appeared in strange spots but I’m not sure how the piping was down and is actually causing the wet spots

        I have shouted at people standing very close behind me at atm and registers. ( this is not like me but when people wont listen to soft words said 5 times I will shout ) Even when you tell them they just don’t understand personal space.

      Fart loudly

        I may have honed my ability to mimic very wet and juicy fart noises with my mouth for such situations.

    dinner has been cooked and eat. I had a shake and one thai small chicken skewer with onion and capsicum, no sauce on it.

    There is also pineapple fried rice.

    source

      I’m incredibly impressed with your mental fortitude if you resisted. But if you didn’t, I completely understand. Especially with the pineapple. Oh boy.

    weather is body temperature, plus fan forced eh? alrighty heading out now let’s do this

      I will bring a palm leaf following in tow ready to fan you and feed you mildly cold grapes if the wind dies down.

      • bacon@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I am so far still fine. The buses are air-conditioned and cooler than home. Hopefully the trains too. The next challenge is getting food from the city, then getting to the venue by tram.

    • TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I wish! Here in Thornbury the temperature has dropped, the wind has dropped, but not the rain. Yet. Sticky and not pleasant rn.

      source
  • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Far too hot.

    There is also about a 50% chance that the air conditioning at work will end up being too cold at some point today, so I have brought in my cardigan.

    source
    • PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I’ve got the opposite problem of working in a large non air-conditioned factory kitchen. It gets stinkingly oppressive “I can’t do this anymore” hot. Both extremes of temperature suck. My sinuses play up with too-cold aircon. But I’m thinking of bringing in one of those misting fan cooler things that you put iced water in the top of. I’ll wear it lol.

    Out and about. Took down serious self-convincing. Overcast, but still feels like burning face off weather.

    So many of my favourite chicken sandwiches available I have no appetite for it. Also, weirdo I am I still have hot coffee in this weather… Somehow I have received an iced one. I must look like I need it.

    The cool change has come across at just the right time. It has cooled down enough that I could take Mr Woof for our after work walk, and we are done in plenty of time to avoid the rain.

    To make up for not feeling hungry this morning I now have a horrific craving for greasy sausages. I wonder if the Coles nearby has the brand of vegan snags I like. But after this morning’s jaunt and then the boiling hot laundromat journey I’m not going out again. Ikea and the lot can be left to tomorrow.

    …although, despite my recent extravagance^, I think I’ll go for that pizza dinner. They do a mock beef Mexican, i have to try it.

    Gonna have to work extra hard over the next few weeks to make up for some of this.

    ^ (and also eyeing off a $750 phone to buy on sale to replace my device bricked by the 3g shut down)
