I’m back.
It was a very nice house and the area is quiet and very safe. People have garden decorations in their front yards! That stuff would get stolen in a day here. 5 minute walk to the beach . 🙂
only 3 other people were looking and one of them left very quickly, so 2 other people 🤞
Now I’m off to to typo to get some big diaries and the chem to get lip balm. I have burnt lips 🥺
I haven’t been out looking at houses for sale in about 30 years. Back then it was primarily newspaper listings of open house times with minimal details and no pictures. The whole process has changed a lot since then.
Zonk.
That is all.
That’s a great alignment of special occasions
I dug a hole :)
For the rain gauge post.
I’m very proud of myself.
70cm, so was paranoid was gonna hit a pipe as it’s close to the tank / pump.
Interesting thing was seeing the soil horizons. They were textbook all there.
And once again the cheapo manual auger is useful.
Nice one Dale :)
Good news: the fly that was buzzing around the room is dead.
Bad news: it drowned in my cup of tea.
extra protein
Saturday. Laundry done and out on line - nearly ready to take in again. Shopping still to do. Will indulge in a banh mi from my local bakery on the way home. On second thoughts, shopping can be tomorrow. Banh mi is a must though. They’ve recently added a roasted mushroom one to their line up. It’s yummmmmm.
On another note, this hot weather has magically removed 5 kilos of weight from my person.
Beach beach beach (after I get my kitchen cleaned…) you can do this oldgreeeeeeg
it’s windy down the beach today but not too hot yet 🙂
Yep. Had a nice cool swim but then got a bit sandblasted. Still good tho
Okely dokely. I’m off to see houses.
laters dudes .😘😘😘
Enjoy! Stay cool and hydrated too
Good luck!
Who the fucks hauls ass for 2 hours across town to go to a fuckin’ La Porchetta? My bestie’s husband, that’s who.
hugs, you must have been real tired
Spent three and hours on the beach this morning - feeling properly tired now! Love that feeling!
Cool. 🙂 The beach definitely invigorates the soul while tiring the body. It’s a good feeling.
That’d put a horse to shame.
The ol’ pickle tree just won’t quit this year
nice 🤤
I’ve never played a tomb raider game. I’m playing the playstation one.
It’s fucking amazing!!!
I’m a fan!
I can’t believe how underrated it is! The first 15 mins are nuts!
wait wdym there’s no cool change tonight
Nah dawg. Tomorrow evening.
Stay strong until then.
Was out for dinner tonight and was so disappointed when we exited the restaurant at about 10:30pm. It was still so hot outside. 30C at 11pm still!
Shit’s crazy out there.
What in the hot wet rain is going on outside.
Making me moist
steamy
Both the bird waters ran dry because I haven’t had the energy to go out there -_- I need to set like a weekly reminder to check it.
I love that you do this ❤️
I know, melbs is such a good person but she beats herself up that she’s not perfect. ( yes, Imma talkin’ bout you! )
hugs, you are a good person
the birds are grateful for what you manage to do, they are not judgmental
I’ve been the same. I want to go fill them up but the boys will be so excited to go outside I have to wait until they’re asleep
Marketplace sales back on track today - two boxes of tools gone (and I was able to fit them in my garden cart to move them to the front of the house without killing myself). A few legit seeming offers on another item. But no interest on the stupidly heavy hunk of iron drill press so far.
In other good news I have realised I still have two hard rubbish pickups available to me, and get another two next financial year. So stuff I can’t sell/give away I can still get rid of fairly easily. Operation clean-up-before-I-move as going very well.
I had someone come by this morning. Large sale item + small car = no sale. :(
I’m glad the postal sale worked out. That’s one of the typical ways scammers try get people, so it’s good they were genuine
There is always still a risk they will try to claim a package didn’t arrive and get PayPal to refund, but with postage tracking it would be unlikely to be successful. The scammers generally try to push you into some dodgy or new payment system and then bamboozle you with fake emails, refunds and paying money to “release funds”. They generally sound so ridiculous I am amazed people fall for them, but obviously lots of people do.
Overall I think the majority of people are pretty honest, but unfortunately the dodgy people have a disproportionate impact because they are playing a “numbers game” and contact a lot of people. The majority of the poor experiences when buying and selling are more the result of poor communication and mismatched expectations. I think that’s one of the things that was good when eBay was the main selling system - they managed the whole process and made sure everything ran in a consistent and orderly way. Dispirate individuals trying to work everything out is like herding cats and ends up with a lot of chaos and some people getting scratched even if no one actually starts out intending to do harm.
Anyway, thank you for coming to my TED talk, I think I spend far too much time thinking about such things!
Our wall of east facing windows gives a lovely view but on days like today it’s like having a full wall radiator on full blast. I closed the blinds so I’m no longer being broiled alive, but unfortunately that also means that instead of a nice view over the Dandenongs all I can see outside is passing traffic.
I seem to have naturally woken up at 7:30 after emerging from some strange dream I don’t remember (and it took me a few minutes to work out which day of the week it was. Isn’t it amazing how much has to boot up in your brain before anything makes sense?)
My phone was flat, so… I just got out of bed like a normal person and went to the shops across the road for some milk and random things. And now I’m ready for breakfast and the rest of the day. Rather than rolling out at 10am after spending forever on various dopamine hits.
I think I really need to start forcing myself to sleep without my phone. It’s insane how much it can consume the start of the day and set the tone. I have a bedside clock and a Kindle, that should be enough…
Grass fire in Viewbank, which is getting a bit too close to home rn.
New big journal has been attained and a note book too. 🙂 This will be an art diary where i write all my ideas, write what I do, and what I need to do. Practice, learning, everything. Just everything to do with art. 🙂
🙌🏻 yay for new notebook day!!
MrsGod: hey I will make dinner tonight if you like.
Me: awesome ! what do you feel like?
MrsGod: BBQ
Me: Image
Yes🤣
Sorry it’s an awful joke. The implication is I’m the one doing all the cooking because MrsGod doesn’t touch a BBQ.
I’m going on a picnic night- going to Macbeth in the Botanic Gardens with a friend. I haven’t picnicked in yonks.
So I went to fish out my picnic basket this morning, and discovered that my favourite lifter/spatula thing, that’s been missing for YEARS, and which I’d given up on (assumed I must’ve left it somewhere) was in fact hiding in the picnic basket the whole time. This has absolutely made my day.
I’ve also made a Blackberry & Bay Leaf cake that smells delish, and I get to see a lovely friend, so the play could be rubbish at this point but I’m giving the experience five stars.
Image It’s just so much better than any of the others I’ve found. Something about the balance and shape.
Had to sit in the shower for a while and let the hot water run over. Pain and nausea suck. I have free time but can’t really do anything.
I’m watching paint mixing videos to rest but having seen comments on different ones saying they were fake or edited I found myself watching critically. But it seems to be a legit art channel rather than the clickbaity asmr stuff and has minimal cuts so should be fine. The colours add up. Could be helpful
Stupid internet making me suspicious of everything I see
Mark Carder is legit and awesome www.youtube.com/@DrawMixPaint
I picked up lots of good tips from his YTs
Thanks, he looks good
I’m not sure if it’s just me but I think Cole’s hasn’t been as generous with their fillings in their hot cross buns based on buying them last time.
I usually get the apple and cinnamon and you usually get your hands sticky from just taking out of the bag and a nice punch of sweetness with how much apple sauce they used.
Didn’t get that last time. :/
Someone has perked up a lot and ate almost all of her supper!
When melbcat is happy, the world is happy.
Just how it be.
Bro, she is my world!
I moved a basket Miss Meow likes to nap in, so now she is curled up on the floor having a nap where it used to be.
