Melbourne

Ugh I hate this fucking apartment, it's such perfect Goldilocks weather out there, beautiful cool air and Sun not too hot, meanwhile it's a solid 5-7C hotter in this horrid old dogbox with zero cross ventilation. Can't even open the windows until 8pm when the sun isn't beating down on the hellish west facing bedroom windows where most of the heat is coming in.

It's also been a day for minor bombshell events in the family: mum wants to move back to the ancestral country a lot sooner than expected, with all the huge discussions that comes with it...

...and a young niece's sudden coldness to her beloved aunt and uncle (almost like a foster family to her) turns out to be mainly because she found out said uncle's tiktok account follows almost exclusively onlyfans producers. I feel very conflicted about the second one, I really would like niece and her aunt to rebuild their relationship (niece is quite vulnerable due to parent's ugly divorce but also kind of sheltered). But also it's not my business to get involved in other people's marriages. Though if that aunt - i.e., my cousin - found out later and knew I was aware but didn't tell her, she'd be livid. Ehhhh iunno. I've had a cider and some chips and I'm kind of done for the day now
