I’ve had 3 days of eating very too many desserts. No regrets.
Gee I hope the fires don’t actually reach Ararat and Stawell, that would be awful.
It’s supposedly a warm night out here where I am but compared to last night in the hotbox I’m positively loving it. Lovely balmy breeze. Just nothing but the sound of insects chirping and the wind through the trees, no humans anywhere near, no lights, no electricity (though maybe annoyingly for trying to break bad habits, some phone reception…)
The fact that Ararat, Stawell and Hamilton were all on watch and act today really hit home the size of the fire front …
Ted is enjoying this warm weather by snoozing on the terrace. I am happy he feels comfy and safe enough to snooze outside. 🙂
He looks happy. He’s probably mad about the diet but I can’t imagine how much his life has improved and how much better he probably feels
So fluffy 🥰
The winds! THE WINDS!!
What did you eat? Poor Mickey.
Half a chocolate truffle cake from Woolies and now I’m farting like a trooper.
Lol nah the cool change came with the winds ha
Sorry, I had some dairy
Feels like someone’s turned on a gigantic leaf blower. Mini tornados of leaves whirling up and down my street.
It was so neat! I was on the balcony and felt the ever so slightest cool breeze and was like “oooo!”. Then AWHWHOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSHSHHSHS the winds came rushing up the alley. I heard things on people’s balconies blow over. So very neat!!
Here comes the change!
Work is over for the day & I finally have two days to myself, yay! Time to start catching up on all the cleaning and gardening I need to do…
Christmas is nice, but it is a bit hard to fit everything in when you don’t have any time off and I have fallen a bit behind on a few of those not completely vital chores.
Perfect time to go for a walk. Cool breeze just kicked in.
20% PH surcharge for dinner is criminal. Lucky the food was really good, and I was sitting outside as the cool change hit.
Where was this?
Butcher’s diner in CBD. I was expecting 15%, 20% was a shock. But they make a mean burger.
Oh yeah, love me Butcher’s. Usually the dipping roll on Saturdays, but 20%, ugh. Seems to be the going rate.
The Stenchening: part 3
It now seems to be coming out of the manhole in the laundry. Once I finish my washing, I’m gonna evacuate the room and try to tape the door shut or something (it doesn’t stay closed and I can’t seem to fix it)
I feel like I’m trying to cordon off a bloody disease in Disneyland at this point
🙃
That does sound like something’s died in the roof cavity. I’d postpone investigating until daylight - and preferably get a professional to deal with it. So many different rooms affected.
I don’t think there’s much for me to investigate. Pretty sure it’s a landlord problem now
RIP air quality :/
Time to close the windows.
Meanwhile I’ve only just opened my windows
I’ll take my chances with the toxic smog, thank you very much. It’s 32° inside!
It’s 32° inside!
It’s only 31.2°C here. Surprised your home gets hotter than mine!
This is from Bing’s front page.
hrmm I’m gonna let someone else try that first.
You’re dead so you don’t notice the rust?
it is technically correct
Made some Pad Thai for dinner…turned out great… recipe called for garlic chives I used garlic shoots.
OMG they’re garlicky as hell. I love garlic but wasn’t ready.
RIP anyone that talks to me over the next 24 hours
Ended up leaving Melbourne at 10am (after doubling back realising I’d left my wallet and hat at home). Made pretty decent time just pedal to the metal to Albury now another longer break just past Yass. Just 1.5 hrs more after this. Caught up with the fire news and it looks farked. So many people love Halls Gap though I have every confidence it will come back even if it gets hit really hard this time
safe driving 😘😘😘
I hope you keep safe and you’re nowhere near those fires.
I don’t know exactly what’s going on but a massive wind change out there is causing havoc with it.
No thankfully complete opposite direction, past Canberra now. Still been a hot day of driving though. Car said temp outside was 37 most of the way through. Will be getting the cool change a day later than Melbourne where I’m going, it won’t be as hot a night as yesterday though. I am glad I slept in a bit without driving while exhausted, some real clowns on the road
Mmmm more lamb for dinner with coleslaw.
Lamb!
So I think the time has come to get into BBL. I have adopted the Melbourne stars because… Melbourne, stars, and green. And they are playing right this minute.
BBL fans am I going to regret this adoption? A cricket team is not just for Christmas, I know…
Omg lol showing my millenial-ness - I read that as short for Brazilian Butt Lift 😂
A BBL isn’t just for Christmas, it’s for life
Hahahaha
After all the Christmas food and wine I need many lifts but I will stick to cricket for now
🤣🤣🤣
I thought the same thing, lol
I’m literally sitting in Optus Stadium, waiting for the BBL Scorchers v. Heat game to start. It’s definitely a spectator game.
It feels like the final hours of a One Day match where you are chasing a run rate of 6-8 per over. All game. Games only go for about 3 hours total. A little longer than an AFL game.
Love it when the Scorchers play at home coz it means we get 2 games. It’s been an action packed day today.
It was a fun game. We have family visiting from Brisbane and Canberra. Twelve of us all went together. Great family bonding.
Look they are travelling a bit shit lately but when you pick a team, you stick with them through the wins and the losses. That’s what makes it exciting.
Thanks!
You’ve still got a few good players in there. Maxwell. Siddle. Stoinis.
As long as we beat Sydney tonight I will take it as a good sign
This may not have been the night to jump on board…
Ummm
Bugger
