Ok so I did it. I booked the flights to Vietnam. But itâs going to be a very flat out three months at work up until holiday time Iâll say that much.
Meanwhile can I just say hospitality in this country is pretty shit. You are basically treated with a thinly veiled contempt at any hotel.
Ooh jelly.
Where in Vietnam are you going?
Mostly central Vietnam ie Hue, Da Nang and Hoi An. Iâll spend a couple of days in Saigon, but wonât stay there long because I can only handle crowded city vibes for so long.
I think the light switch one is my favorite.
The flowers are so pretty
My own wildflower meadow. All the pretty with none of the allergens đ
QLD is baking meanwhile we are having the mildest summer that I can ever recall having.
December 2023 had close to average maximum temperatures and above to very much above average minimum temperatures (sixth-highest since records began).
Weâll find out on February 1 about January. Should be interesting.
That may well be the case but I havenât been alive since records began đ.
We had a 7-hour power outage yesterday afternoon, along with 1500 other homes, all because someone a bit further down the street released a helium-filled metallic balloon which floated up to the power lines and blew them up. All credit to the fire service who arrived quickly to secure the scene, and also to the United Energy crews who turned up with three massive cherry-picker trucks to thread it all back together again.
In better news, Groundhog Day: The Musical was fantastic, highly recommended. Itâs surpassed Wicked as my favourite theatre musical of all time. The sets, the humour, the castâŚjust brilliant.
Happy hottest 100 day! Would anybody be down for a thread in c/rage where we can discuss the H100? It was one of my favourite things from over on Reddit. All of us who cleared our days just to listen to the hottest 100 would sit around and pretty much all day âyeah this songâs fuckin shit ayâ with the occasional old person hopping in to rant about how much better music was last century. Then once every 10 songs weâd all day âyeah Iâm not a fan of [artist] but this song is actually alrightâ
Ok I probably didnât sell that very well - thereâs a reason I donât work in sales! But jokes aside, would anybody be keen for something like that? Wouldnât be as much fun because thereâs less people here, but I reckon with a few of us itâd be decent enough?
The last time I sat and listened to the Hottest 100 was 2008 (the year I moved to Melbourne). I am super out of touch with whatever is on the airwaves these days. Smartphones killed the radio star.
Final assignment done - I now have the next month free from study đ
I had to draw an annotated diagram of my house & land as part of the assignment, and I can definitely confirm that is really not something I have any natural talent towards. I was able to use the glass table from my bathroom with a light underneath as a lightbox to trace a printout from Google Earth, so it at least has the right proportions. And I got to use my coloured pencils to do some colouring in of the different areas. Iâm not expecting a great mark on this assignment, but it should pass and thatâs all that really matters with this one.
I reckon if cats could make cups of tea and coffee they would be perfect
I reckon they probably can, but choose not to.
And fruit salad. That would be amazing lol
Hereâs the H100 thread for anybody whoâs interested:
Did a day out in the city today.
So many tourists. Was glad to help a group of American lads that were a bit lost.
They were super appreciative and wanted to tip me.
Also, the Canadian lady that works at Lids EmporiumâŚyou rock
Ok all the hotels have been booked. Of course you never know until you stay there, but I think Iâve chosen wisely, and economically whilst ensuring good value.
But I will say that my gosh Ho Chi Minh has become very expensive, pushing 1st world pricing at times.
Goodnight everyone â¤ď¸ and somehow itâs the perfect time for Gibsonâs zoomies and sneak attacks lol
starting to get sick of watching telly but pain is so exhausting and I have to rest or my back wonât heal
Today I rewatched The Untouchables for the 6th time. Even if you donât like police movies itâs still awesome to watch.
Palworld is going to eat up my whole weekend and I welcome that.
Weâve entered the last 10 of the hottest 100. A few more people have joined the rage thread, but if anybody wants to get in before it finishes, youâre more than welcome.

Hello Friends! I just realised I havenât posted or logged in a much longer period of time than I thought. I hope youâre all well! For once Iâm not here to vent or complain. Lol.
