warm day, hot to do housework but it must be done
Can it wait until tomorrow when there’s much better conditions?
landlord is coming at 3
Bugger
where rain?
I told them to take it back cause I don’t want it. Sorry
Made it down the bellarine.
It’s been a few weeks since I’ve been down here and my heart sank when I saw all the weeding / mowing I have to do over the next few. This was never going to be an actual break. On the plus the chillies have enjoyed themselves with this weather so that’s something.
Are you doing any tomatoes this season? Heard from my colleagues that theirs have exploded in size with the recent weather
Have 5 plants in and they seem pretty happy! Haven’t had much luck in the last few years with tomatoes so not going to jinx it :)
Noice! I am surprised a gardener of your calibre has had bad luck with tomatoes, but then again I have managed to kill a jade plant and two potted lemons, so… here’s to a bumper crop this year without too many pests!
They still haven’t taken my parcels (now 3!) to the post office yet. Not quite sure what they’re doing with them. After sending them to Truganina for the night, they sent them through the airport this morning, then at 3pm they were marked as “in transit” at my suburb (which doesn’t have a post office, the local post office is in the suburb over). I think they may be holding them hostage
I just want my ABBA vinyl 😭😭
In better news, the department approved my transition from care funding, and purchased pretty much everything today. They sent me a Kmart gift card for general setup, and I got to choose a table, chairs, and couch. Also hit them up for a dryer, super energy inefficient I know, but I can’t stand air/sun dried socks. Everything else, sure no worries, socks, the rough feeling in my shoes all day makes me physically nauseous. That’s gonna be my version of avocado toast I guess
(I found a reasonably priced and small enough heat pump dryer, which apparently is the cheapest to run long run, and they agreed. So with infrequent use I’ll hopefully be ok)
Are you going to let us Wishlist you stuff? Or do dodgy gift art?
No. But I will gratefully accept general living tips, or ideas on things I might forget to buy
Sensible. Hit us with your queries - there’s a wealth of life skills in the DT. Some of which we regret having had to learn the hard way. But we’re all still alive and kicking, so must have done something right somehow.
I don’t have any specific questions, yet, but if there’s anything you think of and don’t mind sharing (not that you have to), please reach out!
Fair enough. get a can of bar keepers friend. Lasts forever and fixes most kitchen icks.
Oh, thanks. I usually use Jif for the stubborn stovetop stains
Try this stuff. It’s pretty much a lemon & bicarb, just more convenient.
Heat pump dryers are amazing. I did some baby/housesitting for.q friend on the weekend and used theirs. It takes ages but it was really good and apparently really energy efficient.
Good thinking to ask for it as part of the transition. You should have nice things.
Thanks Greg. Yeah, most out of home care places now have dryers, and always heat pumps. we have a 9kg heat pump that takes about 3-4 hours to dry a half load (half load because that’s as much as the 7kg front loader will comfortably take)
The last place had a top loader with a bigger capacity, and the dryer took about 5 hours. Never took note of the weights on them though
My phone won’t work properly until tomorrow. Thank god for WiFi at home!
That humidity-less breeze is beautiful. I’ve got the windows open to let it in the house.
I’m suddenly craving toasted ham and cheese sandwiches.
Do it!
Hehe. I shall update if I do.
Do you have them with tomato sauce? 😋
Generally not, but I don’t mind tomato relish. Om nom nom.
On nights when I’m feeling too lazy to cook something proper, but want something a bit higher effort than 2 min noodles/soup/basic toast, I make a bit of an everything toasty. Generally goes with ham, cheese, little bit of red onion, spring onion, a fried egg, and if I have it on hand, tomato. The egg and red onion can be fried in the toastie maker for ultimate laziness
Look, it sounds like the result of a hipster cafe making a depresso meal trendy and quirky, but it’s pretty good and a satisfying meal. Easy to remove or swap things as needed

Huh I was just listening to this earlier! That man is a treasure.
I had a nap and I had a dream. Some older lady attached herself to my husband and kept referring to him as her “jungle boy”. I am so confused right now.
Watch it, or Shere Khan gonna get your boy 🐅
Requests for feedback on online orders are getting beyond ridiculous. This time they want to know how we like a Thing 6 hours before the notice it would land today. I also now know what my Solstice gift is, but that will happen when letting somebody else use your account.
I like the concept of solstice gift.
We don’t do Xmas but prezzies are nice, so nearest date 😺
Got an interview tomorrow. Let’s see what happens. 🤞
🍀🍀🍀
Congratulations!!! Ahhhh! Good luck!
Good luck!!
Go get em tiger 🐅
Good luck!
🤞🏼
Go you! You are truly an inspiration to me :)
It’s too hot. I want a glass of wine but have “bills” to pay instead
I think the aircon isn’t working properly at work today. :(
Time to wind down now before making dinner.
Playing some Animal Crossing for that cosy feeling and put a movie on.
Going to make more chicken sandwiches tonight.
I have successfully re-hung the mozzie net over the bed. It fell down late last summer when the sticky ‘removable’ hook peeled off and I never bothered to re-do it. But it’s done now albeit a few days too late. One of the major delay points is that it is very very difficult to buy just one cuphook. Packets of 25 or so, no problem, but just one? Impossible. Especially in Richmond or in the CBD. Not even Kmart sells them. So I’ve improvised with a long screw and a small butterfly nut filched from work put together arse end first. Might even be better than a cuphook as less subject to the mozzie net hanging ring sliding off in the breezes.
