    Old man changed the aircon remote language to polish somehow. So, had a crash 2min course in polish and now I’m fluent and can fix all your accidental language changes from polish to english. But seriously, that is a severely difficult language.

    Have made a gingerbread dough and it’s chilling in the fridge. Miniest made me do it 🫡 I’m sure she likes to eat the dough as much as the finished gingerbread, it smells like Christmas. I just realised I don’t have a gingerbread emoji, so 🫚🍞

    Not so bad outside as it’s overcast rather than skin-peelingly burning hot. Wait for blood test took an hour but at least it was air conditioned inside so I caught up on my crosswords. Grabbed some Argentinean empanadas for lunch on a whim (yum!!!), and a late coffee… Apt has stayed pretty nice and cool so far. I’ve been running the extractor fan in the bathroom which I think is kinda sorta helping to suck cool air in from the lounge via the bedroom?

    Cringing a bit at how much drying I’ll need to do at the laundromat. I’ve put the towels to air dry a bit in the bathroom until I’m ready to go so there’s less paid drying involved. So dumb to have to use a dryer on a day like today. I won’t be here long enough to warrant buying a dryer for the unit, either… once I’ve opened up more space here I’ll look into some strategic clothes horse positions for drying work clothes and the like.

    I will say there is something about living within walking distance to SO much stuff and activity (but not having to hear most of it at home). It’s like being on holiday in a downtown airbnb.

      What you’re describing sounds like heaven to me at the moment.

      I cannot wait to leave this area and side of town. It was a giant waste of time anyway.

        I can definitely appreciate how you feel, it’s how I felt when I first came to Aus and the first few years were all in deep suburbia where i couldn’t fathom the way of life. I can kind of see why Richmond rentals attract a premium compared to say the equivalent in Hawthorn, simply for the vibrancy and density. Still overpriced IMO and no longer my thing but I can try and enjoy it while I’m here (while trying not to spend too much… none of this fun is for free)

    Not hungry this morning. Have made a large jug of peppermint tea which is currently cooling on the countertop prior to being put in fridge. Some essential shopping only this morning, then I’m going to sleep the day away. Punctuated by peppermint tea over ice. Cool change is due fairly late tonight so not looking forward to this afternoon.

      Not hungry here either. Just going to get a blood test done, pop over to IKEA, then hunker down and snooze for the rest of the day aside from doing loads of laundry then taking them to the laundromat dryer (unbelievable in this heat - but no outdoor drying areas here). Maybe assemble my bed frame. I need a day of solid rest, today’s probably the best day for it.

    Today is an inside day. Going out for some drinks when it cools down, but otherwise, just going to chill/zonk out 😎

    Paws out means “I’m not moving” lol

    Walking in the drizzle listening to music is one of my favourite activities. Fuck yeah.

    Edit: Tonight was a good night. Have been feeling extra isolated lately. Saw some friends and just had dinner and chatted. Grateful they came to hang out.

    Can’t wait to move closer to civilisation.

    I thought I was being responsible when I decided that 5 hours sleep was enough and I should get my lazy ass out of bed.

    Bup bow.

    Edit: about to kick off nap #3

    Great. That’s all I need.

    I think the split system using AC is leaking into the roof and wet spots and stuff have appeared.

    Only noticed it today.

    No proof that it the AC but I can’t think of any recent rain that could have caused it.

    Dammit :(

        I’ll have to.

        It’s appeared in strange spots but I’m not sure how the piping was down and is actually causing the wet spots

        I have shouted at people standing very close behind me at atm and registers. ( this is not like me but when people wont listen to soft words said 5 times I will shout ) Even when you tell them they just don’t understand personal space.

      I’m incredibly impressed with your mental fortitude if you resisted. But if you didn’t, I completely understand. Especially with the pineapple. Oh boy.

        I am so far still fine. The buses are air-conditioned and cooler than home. Hopefully the trains too. The next challenge is getting food from the city, then getting to the venue by tram.
