Hi beeple,
I wanted to get my hot water heater fixed with a $50 thermostat, but the plumber wouldn’t touch it and wanted $3000 to replace it. Ouch! I might try to find a replacement thermostat via Google, but it’s an ancient model and the part numbers don’t turn up anything. Really don’t need more bills right now!
It is starting to heat up in Australia, and the bushfires have already killed 2 people in my state in the last week. I’m not looking forward to another black summer. However, on the bright side, there seems to be a shift in the views of our Nationals party regarding climate change - they’ve always been conservative but now it seems they’re getting on board with climate action, since they’re being affected by the heat, droughts etc. I wish people would take action for things before it affects them personally, but hey, I’ll take what I can get.
I hope everyone gets through their struggles and has some time to relax and enjoy themselves this week.
It's like that "This is fine." dog in a burning house meme. Except the house is our planet. And it's literal instead of a metaphor.
Stay safe, stay cool! From your colonial friends north of the equator.

Exactly right! Thanks, and enjoy your winter, I hope it’s not too cold!
