    Well that sucks. Several houses in Belgrave including mine have been without power since 18:30. Would have been good to have aircon this evening.

    On the positive side I’m feeling virtuous for having recently run up the generators, checked the oil, topped up the petrol, etc. So we have a fridge / freezer and, if we still have no power tomorrow, will still be able to work.

    I had the brilliant idea tonight when filling the water tray for animals to put the timer on and set it to a slow trickle. That’ll keep it topped up and I know some animals are more likely to drink from running water than still

      It would be so cool to have a solar powered water fountain (with a filter to sieve out mosquito larvae and kill them)

    Trying toast with mustard. I don’t know if this will be a good idea or not, but yay to trying new things.

      Never had that. I used to like putting nutritional yeast on hot buttered toast.

      Otherwise maybe try tiger toast

      I used to eat mustard and mayo sandwiches when on struggle street.

      source
      • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I used to eat just mayo on a slice of bread.

        Or tomato sauce and spam sandwiches. A cousin of the baloney/devon sandwich

      I just assumed you all died, it’s good to hear that at least one of you is still alive. I don’t do well with heat, if I didn’t have AC I’d either be camped out in the shower running cool water over myself or on the floor crying. I wish I was more like Miss Meow, who is currently voluntarily outside.

    Just chatting about journaling.

    spoiler

    I absolutely adore my diary from last year, it’s filled with stickers and washi tape and random colours where I’ve felt like it, along with noting all of the things I did like dinners out and drives we went on or even just things like the day Boyo lost his sunnies in the bay. It helps that it was a Kikki K creativity diary and while I didn’t utilise it to its full extent, it did inspire me with some of the prompts. I’m sad they didn’t do another one this year. Lately I’ve been getting into junk journaling, but it’s felt a little harder because I feel like I want it always to be perfect, but I don’t know what that perfect is. I keep reminding myself that no one is ever going to see it unless I choose to show them. Anyway, I’ve got it into my head that I want one of those little instax polaroid printer so I can print little pictures to add to my diary and journal, think I’m going to go and buy one after work.

      There is no perfect journal. There is only your journal.

        It is? I don’t see people wear stuff like this, especially at my age, so I get a bit insecure about it. I dress weird …lol Think of this way, at my age I could shop at Katies or Blue Illusion. I actually shop at Dangerfield.

        Mr Seagoon hasn’t seen it yet, I think he will like it. šŸ™‚šŸš€šŸˆ

    The girlfriend has put out a box of clothes to be donated. Most of the things I want to get rid of are things she got me from an op shop previously, so I found some things to sacrifice to cover them up.

    Sometimes I think she wants me to dress like a lesbian that went to the op shop to dress like peak 90s JTT, but these clothes are just cheap and nasty. I’ll wear the world’s ugliest pattern if the fabric is nice but these aren’t op shop gold, it’s the other 99%.
