That looks really lovely.
tone212_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Nice outdoor searing area! With that lovely garden bed to look over. I see a fire pit too.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
So everyone had a shitty sleep then.
At least tomorrow looks like a normal day, then a couple more days of this bullshit.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
drained and the week has only just begun.
Duenan@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I feel like I want to take Friday off but at the same time it might be a waste if I don’t have much work to do.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Next door to me is selling up, and they spent the long weekend clearing out the house. Including putting an elderly and derelict vinyl lounge suite out on the footpath, but no-one took it. I’ve just watched a compacting rubbish truck eat the whole lounge suite - impressively loud noises.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I had the strangest dream. I was in a room with people and we were all hooked up to some kind of device.
We had to have our body temperature lowered to the point of freezing so we could survive what was about to happen. I think we were supposed to phase through the floor.
We were all sitting on what looked like a kids adventure playground set.
There was someone with me, someone I cared about (but don’t recognise in real life), she tells me it’s going to be OK and I have to do this.
I have a lot or trust in this person, maybe even love, but I can’t remember much past this point. I start feeling really cold.
We had to go through with this. It was a life or death/end of the world scenario. Something bad was going to happen if we didn’t all do this.
God I love dreams.
StudChud@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
That sounds like the start of an SCP
So jealous of people who remember their dreams haha

Idyllic as always!
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Beautiful!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
we really do have a beautiful planet ☺️
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Blergh to this weather.
Catfish@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
This hill will either make me extremely fit or cause a heart attack
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
You could say it’s a hill you’ll die on.
Don’t worry I already have my coat and I’ll close the door on the way out.
Catfish@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Thank you, that door keeps the aircon in 😉😉

Do NOT look at your super account. Not that you’re supposed to anyway.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Even more important, don’t panic, sell everything /move to cash and crystalize the losses. Super is a long term investment and the losses are always followed (eventually) by gains, if you are out of the market when that happens and have to buy back in when it is more expensive you lose even more. And if the situation is worse than that and the world as we know it is actually ending your super balance won’t matter anyway.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
some of us don’t have the long term , we are in short to medium term
dumblederp@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Is it buy the dip time?
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Nah, it’s time to put it all in crypto. I’ve moved all my investments into Trump coins and I’m going to be rich any minute now.
Pilk@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Ah you’re an optimist I see
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I had a good sleep. The fan was less than a metre from my head so I think that helped.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I got maybe 2 hours of sleep and now I’m wide awake. Was it the pizza? I don’t know. I’m chugging water to see if it helps.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Same here. Having tea not water as fully hydrated. Bleh.
mysticgreg@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Maybe the problem was that you didn’t eat ENOUGH pizza? The dream monster was still hungry.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
This is a solid theory
dumblederp@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I had bad sleep from my pizza a few days ago.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I had both pizza and poor sleep too. But I’m blaming it on the excessive overnight heat.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
cheesemares
Duenan@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Crappy sleep here too, had some dreams but can’t for the life remember what they were able.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Bad sleep but no pizza. Woke at 1.30 and just tossed and turned from then with very little sleep
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
What a day! After telling the boss I wouldn’t be able to come in early to beat the heat because I had to get Miniest to school, Miniest refused to attend school because I “woke her up wrong” (!) so I had to leave it to her dad, knowing he’d probably not do it either (it sets off my anxiety in the morning to argue, ruins my day at work and I’ve had my threshold of that shit) and got there earlier anyway. Everyone was like “thank god you’re here!” Worked like a Trojan in the heat and smashed through the work. I think I’m getting used to it, just as the season is about to change lol.
Then I finished early, discovered Mr P couldn’t take Elder to his appointment due to illness, and bussed home to get him. I only had time to wash my face, replenish my deodorant and change my shirt before we bussed out to his appointment. I felt sticky yucky and itchy! Came home, ordered dinner, put the bins out, reordered as the order was cancelled and tidied up a bit. Mr P had a dental appointment tomorrow but couldn’t remember where because he didn’t write it down, so my MIL and I worked it out. Dispensed her eye drops (she needs nightly eye drops and can’t do it herself; she calls it Eyes on Call, but I’m rather partial to the Royal Eyeing Doctor Service). Talked to the kids about how we’re going to wake up in the morning and who’s getting who to school, with added pep talk and motivational barracking, had a shower and now I’m laying in bed feeling like I forgot something.
StudChud@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
You’ve forgotten to take care of yourself! You’ve been worked to the bone, friend!
Sending good vibes and thinking of you! Being a mum to 4 other people is hard fucking work!
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Thanks mate 🙂 My shower was a longer one than usual and I’m using a nice Avene dry oil spray mist moisturiser stuff which smells lovely and feels (to me anyway) really indulgent🧖🏼♀️
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
You’re doing an amazing job. Don’t forget that.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Thankyou 🙂
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Is anyone else in a shitty mood from the weather?
tone212_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Yep, one or two days of warm weather is fine but however many days in a row it’s been now, too much. Hot nights affect me the most. Also, it’s a constant battle to keep my place cool.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Yep. Sweaty, underslept and somewhat aghast at just how dry everything is in the garden, in spite of watering. I want a week of cool cloudy weather with frequent rain. The eucalypts on my nature strip though, they’re putting out a lot of tiny new leaves and shedding scads of bark so maybe they know something we don’t. The garden ants too are building lots of air holes which they usually only do if the weather is wet. I think we’re going to get a change in the weather pretty soon. Can’t wait.
StudChud@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Apparently tomorrow is bringing rain with chance of thunderstorms so I hope it hits us in the inner city!
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I hope you’re right. My body isn’t reacting very well to this.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Affirmative
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I reckon it was someone on here who recommended Talon to get rid of ants, ages ago. That stuff is magic.
Last night they were mounting a full-blown invasion of the kitchen. This morning, not a sign of them.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I slept for around 10.5 to 11 hours last night. Must’ve had quite the sleep debt.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Need to remember it’s Tuesday, not Monday. And I may be a day out the rest of the week
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
What up
SituationCake@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Good morning. Checking in to the woke up too early crew.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Getting pretty damn bloody over this heat, it’s brutal out there. Drank so much water and barely needed to pee. Gonna need to chug a lot more now as I’m undoubtedly dehydrated.
Another long day of it tomorrow and then I need to catch up desperately on my desktop work, and then uni desktop work… I’d squeeze some in tonight but between the heat and bad sleep I’m just going to take it easy and try to wind down rather than keep myself up on a screen
Pilk@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Turns out if you are almost never in the sun for very long it’s definitely possible to be vitamin D deficient in summer. At least that’s my theory – feeling whiplash at the mood turnaround after resuming supplements a couple of days ago.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Sorry, just an awful day.
one of the main newspapers I used to read , the washington post, has just gotten so bad I have lost all faith in it. This was the paper that brought down nixon
now the internets is becoming more insecure, I’m finding it hard to trust
i just want some real facts i can trust so i can understand the world around me
and I’m moving house, which is a long term good but a short term pain ,
i miss my friends overseas so much 😢
maybe a rest then a cool shower then some me time to refresh myself before I keep at doing stuff
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
It’s pretty warm but getting stuff done 👍
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
It’s getting chaotic here. Just need to concentrate on one little area at a time and keep on at it.
Catfish@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Back to work. The transportation experiments begin…
bacon@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
If you don’t like the weather right now, look at Saturday.
StudChud@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I had a two hour nap and now I don’t know who I am lol
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
my mastodon was hacked in one day, lucky there was nothing in it
deleting it nowSeagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
back from the beach and the new place. It’s nice. ☺️
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
My upholstery supplies have arrived. The foam was very compressed, which made it hard to unpack. Now it’s expanded and is taking up a lot of room.
StudChud@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I HAVE AN INTERVIEW NEXT WEEK
HOLY SHIT YESSSSSSSSS AHHHHHHHHHHHH
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
You got this!
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
