My doona came out dripping from the washing machine, too heavy to do a spin cycle property, bone dry in 30 minutes. It’s crazy out there.

I’m sure our paths have crossed without realising haha. You probably thought who’s this moron.
The climate system in that gym is amazing. It is always a comfortable temperate.

This is the exact centre I’m talking about. It is bonkers on hot days, but I do enjoy walking right in to the cool gym while looking at the poor sods lining up for the pool.

Leaving the gym earlier, there was a ridiculous line (easy 100 people deep) waiting to get into the crowded indoor pools that are part of the complex. Having to wait for people to leave before letting a new group in. The line snaked around outside too, all these people waiting in the heat for crowds and craziness. No thank you.

Last day of break, rushing around to tick off a few final holiday tasks. Every year I always do less than I expect to, but I need relax time as well.
Also feeling very anxious about the new work year. It’s been building the past few days. Probably shouldn’t have looked at my inbox, new tasks are already waiting for me. I want a chill January.

What’s everyone’s NYE plans? For me, a friend hosts a gathering each year with a small group of regulars. It’s close to home so getting there & home is easy. There’s usually a spit and other yummy foods and a bonfire. I may get quite drunk as a fitting send-off to this year.

Eeee so excited for you! The fear is normal, once you are at the airport and checked in, you’ll feel great about your decision.

Every time I want to go there, huge line! I haven’t been patient enough to wait yet.

Super productive day tackling tasks that only get done on holidays. Cleaned out and reorganised the pantry, found foods buried in there with embarrassingly old use by dates. Cleaned the fridge and freezer out as well, pulled out all the shelves / compartments and washed them. Also patched up some plaster movements cracks that appeared like more than a year ago that stare me in the face every day, just needs to paint the areas tomorrow. I’ve never done this DIY fix before so hopefully it works once I paint. Even fit in some exercise too. That’s enough for today, now I chill.

Had a great time at Thornbury Witch’s xmas event. My first time meeting anyone from the DT (including from the Reddit days) and it was so nice for this little corner of the internet to come to real life in the way it did.

Amazing! Congrats, what a good xmas present.

I burned my tongue eating dinner yesterday and still feel it a bit today. I just don’t know how to wait to eat the steaming hot food in front of me.

Back from friendmas, the pudding was a hit. Am also drunk and stoned. I ate so much, we did a good spread.

I put on the evap cooler and pretty sure all it’s doing is making the inside more humid. It’s sticky in here. Must be too humid outside for it to work properly.
- Comment on Discussion Thread 😺 Friday 19 December 2025 3 weeks ago:
Friendsmas prep is underway for tomorrow. I’m making a self saucing sticky date pudding, and some extremely buttery garlic bread as a side to main. A cold beer is being had and tunes are on.

I have to venture into the blazing sun for an appointment which I am not happy about, but it will be my first time in the Metro Tunnel so that makes up for it. They don’t really make it seamless during this trial period, the usual train and Metro Tunnel train do not overlap at all. 15 mins wait at West Footscray to change over.

Can’t bloody wait, I’m so ready for a break.
- Comment on Discussion Thread 🌷 Wednesday 17 December 2025 3 weeks ago:
The running joke in Melbourne is about crossing the Yarra (so a north / south divide), but east / west divide makes sense too. Crossing from west/north suburbs to east/south suburbs with PT or a car is a pain in the ass so that’s a huge barrier to travelling across all sides of metro Melbourne easily. The Metro Tunnel will change that somewhat from a PT standpoint.
I live in a middle/outer NW suburb so travelling to only things close to me isn’t really an option, most of my work and social activities take me to inner north / western suburbs and the CBD. Rarely do I travel to the east/south unless I visit a few friends that live in the Bayside area, or if I want to visit a bay beach. Anyway, I think it’s a great idea for your Meetup to cross over and experience places in Melbourne you haven’t visited. Yarraville / Seddon is a great pick for those from the east side.

Same, I’ve had to limit my exposure to the news and online commentary because it was really affecting me yesterday.

Coffee’s not doing the trick this morning. My new alarm clock is the power company setting up roadworks signs right in front of my place, they’re replacing power lines around the corner. Who knew setting up those signs required extensive banging. Yesterday it was the council ripping up some of the footpath at 7am. There’s some kind of construction blitz going on right now, I just want to sleeeeep.

Sky pretty, but I feel sad from what happened at Bondi. I was just there yesterday. It’s horrific.

Client event attended, I did not know a soul and felt super awkward at the beginning but had good chats with a few people there. It pays to put yourself out of your comfort zone. Back to hotel to shower this disgusting humidity off me.

It was sunny for a good portion of the day so managed a dip at Bondi but then the clouds and cool rolled in. The sea was angry today, like a washing machine. Pounding waves.
beach
It’s also so nice staying somewhere where I am close to everything. Shops, restaurants, cafes all minutes away. Instead of the whoop whoop location where I live back home.

If you’re new / still in probation, best to be on your best behaviour. A couple of drinks is OK, but not drinking at all is fine too.

Off to Sydney this morning, I’m upset to be leaving our good weather for days of rain 😭
I really wanted to beach, there is a sunny morning on my final day so possibly then.

I had to buy a new laptop to move on from living on 8gb in 2025, the RAM was soldered on. Looks like I might have bought at the right time if RAM prices are going to make new laptops more expensive?

Xmas is one day, then it’s over. Totally understand that the lead up is so long but thinking of it as one day in a year helps me. I don’t have a close extended family or big family event like others, it’s much like any other day.
