Hang in there. It’s nearly over.
Power outrage
It’s way past time for the cat’s eardrops and I don’t wanna… She’s still a bit flat and sooky so I’m calling in the morning to try and get onto the specialist for this week.
Warned the Mrs if she opens one more blind she’s going outside to play for a while. Glad she doesn’t feel the heat but the rest of us do.
I’m home from my cheap motel split system utopia. Apartment is gross but I’ve gotten here early enough in the day to hopefully cool it before the sun really starts hitting the windows.
Seriously considering tinfoiling my bedroom wall of windows.
A cardboard box seems to help heaps. I put that on my west facing windows between the glass and curtain and it’s no longer radiating tons of heat back into the house. I reckon a couple of those windscreen sun-visor things would work a treat too, if they had suction cups on them.
Did my third water walk in a row this morning. Definitely feeling it - using muscles I haven’t used or used as much. I hope the weather allows a few more - just not this hot, thanks.
In other news, the heat seems to have fried drivers’ brains - someone nearly turned into me and I did have my lights on so it wasn’t a matter of the silver car being harder to see. And I nearly got clipped by a Pajero.
Boy am I looking forward to when I can just walk to the beach.Apple Cinnamon bunz 🤤
My
anacondastomach don’t want none unless you got bunz, hunI like big buns and I cannot lie
You other loaves can’t deny
That when a bun walks it’ll blow up my waist
As I stuff it in my face
The bakery I rung, want to munch a loaf
'Cause you noticed that bun was stuffed
Deep with bits of raisins
I’m starved and I can’t stop eatinnot my best work sorry lol
I would not normally have any reason to say this, but tonight I wanna be in Warrnambool. It’s 22 deg there.
I braved the heat to fill my car with bags to take to the op shop tomorrow. I fitted in way more than I thought I would, only 2 bags left for now - but I’m about to start filling up more! I’ll need to buy more bags when I am out tomorrow, this decluttering jag is going through them at a great rate.
The wildlife water dried up and blew down while I was asleep. It’s the lightweight material, flat wide aerodynamic shape and the placement. I put it there for a reason, and chose a shallow dish so animals/insects don’t drown, but inconvenient. I put it back, peeled the huge block of ice out of the silicone bowl/jelly mould to weigh it down and filled it the rest of the way with water from the tap.
The ice should keep the platter held down for a while, keep everything cool, and slowly refill the water as it melts.
Just started watching Yellowstone. Not usually into this genre but it’s intriguing so far.
Went for a drive out to Altona for a crunchwrap supreme from Taco Bell and then over to … I just checked the maps and apparently it’s Laverton North but it’s not where I’d say Laverton North is… anyway I took the car over to “Laverton North” for a nice wash to get the bugs and road off from my long weekend adventures.
Lovely brrr’ing around with some tunes and AC on a warm evening.
Edit: I mean, I guess it can be Laverton North…
I do not understand people who cut jeans into shorts so short they are mostly loose flapping pockets. Just looks weird.
😂
They’re just showing off that they actually have pockets, unlike the evil bait-and-switch jeans I bought which have a curved seam that mimics where a pocket should go but fails to actually be a pocket.
Brought the ol’ iphone in for a dip:
Glass and waves = bliss.
I made a start on cleaning up the shed this morning. It is a disgraceful mess, I have no idea where half this stuff even came from! Does engine oil go off? I have a bottle full of oil and I have no idea what it is for or how long it has been there.
It doesn’t go off it just loses it’s lubrication properties. Toss it if it’s been open.
It’s hazardous waste - take to recycling centre for proper disposal.
Nah, I’ll just add it to my collection of paint tins, gas bottles and fluorescent tubes that I look at occassionally and think “I really must get around to taking those to the recycling centre” before completely forgetting about them again 🤣
Or, with a move likely in the near future I might actually get off my butt and take them.
Left the ac on in the bedroom last night, made heaps of difference. Got a decent nights sleep and feeling much more human.
