Are we all ready for the big hot today?
Nope. I have some essential shopping to do - as soon as the washing machines finishes this cycle. After that, I am aestivating until about 10 pm. Yes, watermelon is on the shopping list. The real nasty will be next Tuesday I reckon - and it's a week when a lot of people are either going back to work or preparing for the end of the school horrordays. Gonna be grim that day.
Tuesday's gonna be a prick. I'll whinge about that when I get to it.
I am not looking forward to public transport on Tuesday. I'm taking a change of clothes.
Smart move.
Nah dang it I think I'll have to go out and grab some small shopping pouts. It's Tuesday I'm not looking forward to π³
I don't have any icy poles so no :(
You need to jump on your girly bike and go and get some. Pronto.
The pink tassels on the handle bars and the daisy on the front basket make it manly af fank you very much :)
Problem is w/ too many vodka cruisers in the front basket it loses some manoeuvrability.
Hey girls and boys a hot wonky man coming through ding ding π²
You need a little trailer for shopping
Iβd suggest an adult trike for the larger basket in the back but those things are heavy af. And cargo bikes are expensive
nearly, just have to dash down street
then it's home for an inside day
Beach and groceries done and back home. About to pop the grapes in the freezer pop on the AC then I am going back to bed. Had sick tum all week so bailing on the morning
Nope. Heading up to Albury today so hoping the drive goes smoothly
I'm planning on hiding out in the basement garage tidying up and will consider working on some craft/ upcycle projects. When it gets too hot, I'll retreat to the air con to read or watch telly.
I didnβt see this one coming. At least itβs not 4 days in a row right?
Oh. Tuesday will be 43
It's gonna be warm the entire week so far.
