The fact that I've used my split system more for heating than I ever have for cooling really says a lot about Melbourne's climate.

yay, Robot Dreams is on tonight. 🤖🐶😊

With the olympics coming up thought I’d check what time the opening ceremony is. 3:30am Saturday. Yeah nah. I’ll catch the highlights on the news.

I'm going to have to have a word with the MIL about taking the kids out during the day.

The point is to get them to sleep. One only slept when they got back, and the other didn't sleep at all and had a nap from 5-8, meaning I only got the two of them down now.

Not to mention driving all over Melbourne with them and getting toys they don't need from op shops. I'd be fine with that but they're always cheap remote control cars without the remote,so they don't work properly and are full of tiny parts if they ever break

God damn it.. I'm actually liking using the iPhone. This is unacceptable.

Turns out they've come a long way in the 11 years since I used one. Face ID for auth inside apps (not just for unlocking the phone) is a game changer. Plus app devs have clearly put just a little more love into iOS apps then their Android counterparts. It's nothing major, just little things but they're noticeable. I also love the haptics. The screen and sound seem better too.

My 2 annoyances so far are that it's a regular iPhone 15 which feels a bit small in my bear-paw and I fumble with it and CarPlay (which does look excellent in my car) doesn't have the ability to have media controls on the screen at the same time as full screen Waze like Android Auto does. Having both on the screen at the same time uses way too much screen to show the media controls but that might because my screen is portrait rather than landscape. Probably looks fine in landscape on those wide screens you get in new cars.

Anyway ffs I wasn't supposed to almost prefer it over my Android phone.

Anti-gratitude thread.

Waking up feeling like shit is always lovely :)

I emailed the regional manager yesterday to see what the updates were on the upgraded locks and the replacement of my things while the property and case managers are both away. Both updates were pretty much "there is no update" though. Both of them are both MIA today as well, and the property maintenance people at child protection are dragging their feet. But apparently they did approve getting a quote for installing security cameras around the property.

I'm a little concerned about the property manager to be honest, as when she takes an unplanned day off or sick day, she usually sends me a quick message to let me know she won't be able to attend anything we've organised, or she sets up an email auto responder thingy. But it's complete silence, she just didn't show up for a couple of things that we've had on. Not even a call from her boss to let me know nobody'll be coming. It's odd. I do hope she's okay

Any suggestions for an easy option for "German food" that I could take as a plate for a morning tea at work? I'd like to make Bienenstitch but I don't know if I'll have time so want a backup option.

ok I know I downloaded the installer image so why am I looking at what appears to be a portable USB version

My earbuds have foam tips and they get dirty very easily. Soaked in dishwasher detergent, but kind of just want over ears now. Earbuds are good with glasses though.
