Ted found the stash

Good morning. I’d like to present the DT with this monumental fattyfatfat of a bee

The local IGA has a "wall of shame" where they have photos of thieves.

Lo and behold, there's a picture of my neighbour lol

Fucking hell

Coooooool chaaaaaaange.

Gratitude:

Grateful for a short week

Fluffball

Wrote a new song with words as well

Forcing the hand of my employer tomorrow (and having interviews lined up for next week)

Mini callipos

Bickfords Blood orange sherbet cordial

Just generally in a good mood!

Doesn't seem like it's going to be that hot today.

Woke up to junkies screaming about someone stealing a cigarette.

Soon. So fucking soon.

Me withdrawing from the ATM...

Finish the withdrawal, find 4 people lining up behind me to use said ATM.

There are 2 more vacant and functional ATMs next to me.

BOM app says we are 38.3 deg rn - Darwin is 30.8. Bring on the cool change.

Supplies: Obtained
Apartment: sealed
Air con: on
Couch: comfy
Iced G-string and bra combo: refreshing

Checking in from Hoi An 🍻

Big thunder and big rains.

I don't get why postgraduate students aren't eligible for Myki concession fares. It would make sense if people were not underemployed after finishing their undergrad, and studying a postgrad part-time.

But many of us are doing postgrad qualifications because the undergrad was kinda useless.

Cool change and a bit of rain / thunder just hit the bellarine so all of you kool kids should be getting that soon.

Happy International Chocolate Cake Day 🎉

What on earth is this weather doing?! Random bursts of rain, sun being utterly indecisive, random cool gusts... Not complaining though. I might actually finish this entire stretch...

Hot today. It would be great if you could all refrain from burning things, crashing cars, locking kids/pets inside cars, or doing anything else that forms a risk to life or property.

I’m not eating gluten atm for an allergy trial, saw this ad (jewellery on a fabric strip) and thought, mmm, Lebanese bread

Will be mugging people for their toast any minute now

Doing the Jurassic World exhibition today. I bought tickets before I checked the temperature so we're doing that first thing and then I think we'll go straight home

Shopping list

new printer

new microwave

googly eyes in various sizes tending to the larger ones

picture frames

Sky pretty! It's been a while since I've seen a golden-ish sunset! Plus the grey clouds.

Hmm even though it says 24 it feels warmer than that outside but quite a bit.

Thank you for thread @briongloid!

Heck yeah finished up at 2:30, did a full day's work including half hour lunch break and didn't manage to get too overheated. Left when it was about 33-35C. Nearly finished the section, rest is easy to do tomorrow... then the whole area will turn green on the app and look beautiful 🤩

Swung by Laguna on the way home to grab some frozen tempeh (cos I've been craving it for a while) and yellow noodles (really craving a nice greasy mee goreng which will be dinner). But first I need a late lunch which will be rice with a bit of left over veg and a quick dal curry. I am going to make sure I have enough space for the glorious mee goreng though.

Can't wait to make the tempeh later this week. It's the goat of all vegetarian protein

Heaps of march / horse flies down here atm, esp. at the beach.

Every time one gets me I can't stop thinking that they're literally sawing into you.

TW contains flies and blood

Bleh. Was hoping to wake up early but had a tummy ache last night and probably didn’t sleep till 3:30am.

I’m going to be a zombie tomorrow if I’m not careful.

Let me just open this pack of ready to eat curry and add some baked chicken to it and microwave with rice. Oh too much chili oil I need to remove some. Only two pieces of potato? Gotta boil one. No veggies! Let me boil some green peas. And then cook them all a bit together. Better add some extra seasoning.

Sky smoky.

Heard an odd noise, went to check. It’s…raining?!

Ah. Double checked BOM and there is the chance of a thunderstorm today. Very weird

Bread is in the oven. 🌞

Sky noisy

Lovely rando day despite the heat.

• Two walking laps around the park (usually unheard of)
• Spontaneous brunch within brunch hours (the relief of paying under $30 rather than the $40 I’m paying down the coast, ugh)
• Upside down house at the dead end of town (simple, but surprisingly effective and fun)

I downed a pint of lemon lime bitters. This weather….

dundaaaaa

So the brachiosaurus right at the start of the Jurassic World exhibition scared the boys, but they were fine with the raptor and the scary part with the T.rex at the end. I think they were surprised to see dinosaurs to start with and then got into it

Still not too hot outside. Been at it from 6:45 (would've liked to start earlier but this is the best I could do). Let's see if I can make it to 1pm. Fucking temps reaching maximum at 5pm is ghastly

We were planning to perform a nuclear test but there is a total fire ban. Another day then.
