Not to jinx myself, but I think most clients have a change freeze at the moment.
Let's see what happens.

So I've ended up with a gift card to one of my most hated shopping places.
David Jones.
Overpriced and almost nothing that interests me there.
One possible thing I could do is use it to buy a laptop bag or am I better off spending my own money and claiming it as a tax deduction?
Can you use it to shop online?

Why is it still going to be 38 at 7pm when I finish work and need to go buy groceries 😭 I thought I would be safe
So we get far more hot days in Perth than in Melbourne. If you ever get a Perthy telling you to harden up: Melbourne's heat is worse than Perth's. Perth's weather comes from the west and every afternoon we have a sea breeze come in (Fun fact: The sea breeze used to be called the "Fremantle Docker" because it brought the ships in to dock) to take the heat away. The evenings are far nicer. In Melbourne, that heat tends to come from the north. It moves down into Melbourne and just settles over the city. You can get days where the minimum is still around 30.
Perth doesn't have that. Even on 40 degree days, our minimum temperatures tend to be in the low-20's. We can still sleep. Remind anyone from here of that sea breeze if they ever get smug about Melbourne's hot spells.

Apparently my neighbours think it's a good time to operate a leaf blower. Not too sure exactly what their thought process is...
Emergency trip for Zylkene because the bottle was finished.

(Glad I went out the back way or I would’ve had a run in with the severely creepy neighbour.)
Eugh. Bad warm
Not feeling the heat yet. Heading into work at around 10 though. Hopefully not a gross sweaty mess when I arrive

I was right, more antibiotics. I got the script filled at the on site pharmacy, that turned out to be a much more expensive option than the discount chemist was.

I think we got a few drops of rain here 😐
More rain. I wonder if this will cool us down or just make it humid.
