I feel surprisingly good today. At times there’s a bit of post birthday blues, but apparently not this year!
Also I forgot I had a car so when I open the kitchen blinds, I was like “oh yeah! FUCK YES!”
Ended up having a really good music sesh as well before I went to bed which felt awesome!
Thanks again for all the birthday wishes, and support over the past year ❤️
You deserve all this and more. 😘
Is it raining anywhere?
Big fat rain out east, getting heavier. Plus many ominous rumbles in the sky.
Edit: and now it’s stopped raining again.
Oh yes. Northeast
aaand it’s stopped. Big ole fat rain
Just started here
Starting very outer south east.
There’s a huge red patch that appeared out of nowhere over Caulfield area! We had a bit of rain down south but it went away pretty quickly.
Here’s another quiz for you space nerds
Jebus, 6. 🤣
10/20 better than expected
9/20 not gonna be rocket dentist anytime soon.
Same here!
Not good at planets, had some lucky guesses
one of the questions is wrong
Which one?
the pluto is a planet one
Pluto is classified as a planet again.
Nope. Still classed as a dwarf planet.
Poor pluto. That classification yo-yo for the little guy would be exhausting.
It’s because there’s other “planets” that are bigger than pluto. There’s debate on both sides so it’s still classed as a dwarf planet for now.
10/20 for me this time.
No I don’t.
I do not know planets apparently
Me neither 😔
Minipeelers wanted to go to the farmers market today and I am just too tired and unmotivated to spend the $$. So I’m not very popular atm 😔. This one’s a good one, only on once a month so I feel quite guilty but also weather is windy AF.
Overall Australia lacks culture and meaning, and has unfortunately become a mere economic zone. Probably why in part so many people are depressed and anxious.
It has always been an economic zone, that’s what being a colony is.
If we want meaning and culture we have to create our own.
So many car shows on at the moment. We went to one in Whittlesea on Friday and there’s one on at MacLeod right now
My attempt at macro phone photography, featuring my dad’s attempt at a pizza oven from many years ago, made from a bathtub he found in hard rubbish.
Are those hakea nuts? Awesome picture. 🙂
Possibly, according to Google Lens!
I might just go the one sausage today. The Sriracha option is appreciated though

At verity I didst finish listening to the audio book of The Night Land and it was weird in a good way.
The strange language, not modern but not quite old fashioned either makes it feel weird. He also evokes very good mental imagery of the future world, the landscape , the animals that live there and the future society. The sex, apparently in the future there is no religion and no shame .
Written as a history from the point of view of the main character there is no dialogue.
So strange. I give it 4 hobbits there and a couple of those tall men and a few of the ugly dangerous men and some of those vicious huge dogs and a giant sluggish monster and a volcano or two and vast desolate rock plains and a bit of a swamp too and a heroes welcome back.
Rain not happening yet. Dare I water the garden or would washing the windows be more effective?
I’ve watered the lemon tree because the ground is so dry and hard that any rain will just run off
My car needs a wash, maybe I should get on to that
Can you wait an hour? My fluffy blanket is almost dry.
For you, anything.
Thank you. I heard some rumbling in the distance and then my Marketplace buyer turned up so I decided it was a good time to grab the blanket - dried nicely (it does dry very quickly).
Let the gates of heaven open up!
Why not both
Last day/night in old place. Shed a few tears in the morning…
Alright. Big girl pants are on. Feel-good bossa nova station is on. To-do list for each room. Fridge unplugged, washing machine drained and let to dry. One more FBM pickup this morning. Everything else to cull/donate is leaving my house today (except The Couch Of Doom).
I have planned a couple of rewards to bring some joy and goodness into this.
- Started process of booking a week at my bolthole out in NSW over the xmas/new year period.
- Gonna buy an instant pot (maybe second hand) so I can get through my pile of dried legumes
- There will be pizza once I finish this move
- Gonna ask work to book me in for some field work next couple weeks
You’ve got this and you’re doing awesomely!
If you DM me your PayID or email I’ll send you the cash, or an UberEats voucher to buy that pizza for you!
Aw thanks! Nah, it’s all good, I got paid on Friday and can certainly stump up for a pizza for myself without breaking the bank 😊
I will save on some things at this unit as the rent is 35/week less than what I’m currently paying, water is included, and there is no gas. Some of that will have to go to laundromat costs (drying), but overall I will be financially OK. Plus I have my bond coming back in a little over two weeks…
On the bond have you initiated the request with the RTB?
No worries on the pizza but a legit offer! This isn’t meant to be a brag but I just made money whilst watching a cartoon and I love sharing, so feel free to change your mind ❤️
Not yet, I’m handing back the keys on Wednesday. Bond request will be initiated the very second the keys leave my hand
Fair play that strategy sounds correct to me. Even though I’ve read that you’re unhappy with your new place, it’s just temporary and I know that you’ll turn it into a new adventure.
Packing really truly sucks though doesn’t it?
Yes, it’s just a temporary pad till I finish my degree (which is the main thing keeping me in Melbourne atm).
Packing is balls. The good thing is, the next move (possibly putting everything into storage) will be a lot easier!
Yass you can do it! And it will feel like home when you have your stuff in and made it your own. I have lived in big places and tiny old hobbit holes and anything can be a home.
And I vote for the instant pot. I have a smallish kitchen and ummed and ahhed because of storage but it is so helpful. Rice cooker, pasta sauces, dried legumes cooked without soaking, curries, yoghurt. I use it multiple times a week .
Yeah, I’ll be very tight on storage but reckon the instant pot will be worth the space - I’ll never use the oven so I think I’ll use it as storage. I’ll still keep a separate rice cooker so I can have a curry and rice going at the same time 😁
I have soooo many dried legumes, ironically purchased a week before all this rental shitstorm started. It’ll be great to get through them all, and save heaps of money at the same time! Chana dal curries without soaking? Sign me the fuck up. Especially the set and forget part of it. Think I will have a crack at dal makhani as well, never made it before.
You are doing awesome! 🖤
Favourite part of yesterday’s shenanigans:
spoiler
I think Cher wore it better.
You could have warned us.
Butt cheeks only! Anus has been covered
Heard about this. 🤣
Dragged myself out, got coffee, was going to go for a walk in the park, but I am already ITCHY and SWEATY!
TF, I loathe this pollen.
Bad bad hayfever already.
Not to mention this bushfire smoke! Dunno if you’re getting it your way…
I could smell it earlier in the northern suburbs, but it’s less bad now
Yeah it is getting a little better now. Still noticeable but I hope that it clears soon. It might not officially be summer but it’s certainly feeling like it now!
Haven’t seen any of yet. Which direction?
More the smell than sight. Been fairly strong since this morning in the northeast
It’s smoky smelling out in the west burbs
