Hard to believe it'll be 30 this weekend...

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago

I'm sorry. what?!

I hope the Easter eggs survive

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Considering Easter is the following weekend, I would hope so.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago

I have bought all my Easter eggs and now have to find a cool dry spot to put them in.

I'm OK with one final round of warmth, adjusting to the sudden cold with the early darkness at the same time has been a bit tough.

[–] just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

I dunno, the darkness is a bit of a sudden change but at this point I'm ready to go all in, warmth this late is confusing

Last chance to clean coats, pillows, blankets, doonas etc. before winter sets in. I'm aiming to do a search & destroy cleaning this weekend ready for Easter. Plus gardening if I still have the energy.

I'd be doing all of that if I had an outdoor drying space or an outdoor space at all. Might use the opportunity to instead do a cleanout of my languishing dried goods. Some ancient black lentils, red rice, other odds and ends that all need to be used up. I'm feeling ready to let go of a lot in the lead up to finishing this degree and moving out.
