Weather forecast today (Melbourne CBD, 3000): min - 14°C, max - 31°C. 100% chance of no rain
Time to start closing the windows, freezing the ice blocks, and preparing the fans (or wallet if you’ve got proper air conditioning)!

Duck Duck artist’s market in the city today. It will be an interesting trip at least
Remember there’s a rally on today and plan accordingly! 12-3pm ish, usually.
That’s why I saw the fash on horseback on the way in
Thanks Baku, have a good sleep
Thanks Brian. You were keen with the unpinning of yesterday’s post tonight haha!
It’s been a hot and very busy past few days. Tomorrow will just be a stay home in the day and take it sorta easy day then the imax later to see war of the rohirrim , which looks really cool
I really want to see that too!! Let me know what you think!!
Making that huge batch of hoppin john was a pain in that tiny kitchen - constantly felt like I was going to knock something over and hit my head on the range hood - but I DID IT and did all the dishes as well (as depressed as that made me). I hate this kitchen so much! One major major accomplishment though was that while looking for the TVP mince I finally found the energy and “fuckit”-ness to unpack the dreaded remaining pantry boxes!!! Took a lot of faffing around and moving and adjusting to work out a reasonable arrangement but I managed to get almost everything into some kind of a sensible location. What a huge weight off my back not having those two dastardly boxes in my room any more :) After all that I had no time to do any work as my friend turned up and we wandered around the shops nearby a bit, but now she’s gone and I’ve had a bit of downtime… gonna have an early dinner and maybe do 1-2 hrs of work before I call it a night.
Productive weekend but geez can’t wait for one where I do sweet FA and can feel good about it.
Have decided I’ll go into the office tomorrow to work as I remembered that when my neighbour has the aircon on it intermittently grunts every 5 minutes which annoys the fuck out of me. Plus, free coffee. And I need a break from this stiflingly tiny unit. The bedroom is super warm despite having the blinds down, windows closed and lounge aircon on since noon. :(
Is there room for a kitchen island - one of these or similar
Something that you can take with you when you go?
Nah. Kitchen is just wide enough for one person to turn around in…
Well, I’ve gotten up for these gas people. Not sure what time they’ll be here, just that they said after 7. Definitely gonna try and squeeze in a nap, because 3 hours of sleep is absolutely not gonna suffice. My thing’s at 1, but probably closer to 12:30, and I still need to get the vacuuming, mopping, and a load of washing done. Plus move a bunch of my crap that is currently just about everywhere around the house, pending packing

I’d ride out the living at home as long as you can and start your career doing the subject you enjoy. It’ll make you feel better about working. Although one internship is paid, if by the end of it you feel jaded and fed up because it’s not something you enjoy, you’re going risk being fed up before you even get to doing it for real in areas you like.
I know it’s fun to think about moving out / being independent etc, but it’s tough and there’s no going back to what you have today (it’s never the same). Defo take the gap years too and prolong your youth and lowest level of responsibilities you’ll ever have again, for as long as you can.
Parcel update (the express post one from the NBN I made the mistake of redirecting)!
So after my update on Thursday it did a little bit, but nothing interesting. It bounced from sunshine West to Melbourne airport, then bounced back to sunshine West where it sat until today.
Except a couple hours ago, something did happen! Any guesses where it is now? Drumroll please… Adelaide!
Indeed! Here’s the journey so far:
Strathfield (NSW) > [the new suburbs LPO] > Dandenong South > Sunshine West > Dandenong South > Dandenong South > Dandenong South > Sunshine West > Sunshine West > Melbourne Airport > Melbourne Airport > Melbourne Airport > Melbourne Airport > Melbourne Airport > Melbourne Airport > Sunshine West > Adelaide Airport
This heat will be much more enjoyable if the rain holds off in Brisbane. Looking ok so far. Hibernating with a Test on is perfect.
Ooh, more excitement! I was taking the rubbish out, and when I walked past the meter I got a faint whiff of gas. I had to do a quadruple take, and I can definitely smell gas, but it’s really faint and doesn’t seem overwhelming. I googled wth I’m meant to do and it was all very keen on stressing that gas leaks should be reported to the distributor ASAP
So I called and they said that because it’s minor I should shut off the leak and they’ll log a job after 7. I’ve got dishes, mopping, and a load of washing to do before I go to sleep, and our hot water is gas powered, so I’m not super keen about not having gas tonight. Ugh, I hate gas
You can test for leaks with dish soap over the joins and pipes around the meter. Some meters I’ve seen with a regulator (grey metal spaceship thing) looks to have a vent. There’s a few houses I walk past that have a gas smell, I reported it ages ago and nothing happened. When I got the meter removed, the steel supply pipe had degraded and was leaking once capped so they needed to dig up the nature strip.
Looks to be what I’m about to do. I did mention on the phone I have some things I’d like to do, but they just called me back to say that their crew said “no” and will not come out until after 7, but that I’ll be the first job and don’t have to be awake, but that if I’m not and don’t answer the door or phone, I probably won’t find out if there’s anything wrong
Ah well, I’m getting tired now anyway and have run out of steam. I do want a hot shower tomorrow though
Quick walk to get some iced coffees and holy shit it’s already warm af. Even the wind is warm! 🤮
Time to clean the washing machine. Black marks sound like mould.

Left my lappy power adaptor at Aunts place so trying thunder for the phone. Only app that worked on that old dinosaur.
Trying to work out how to use it so if you get rando downvotes or I’m writing in the wrong spot sorry!
