Big breath. If it's meant to be it will.

Vendor taking the piss! May mail a Guinness bottle top.

Vendor played stupid games and won stupid prizes! Congrats. Assume you got preapproval?

The RAT finally arrived, and the results are in. I am officially out of the never-had-covid club.

Sing out if it gets bad and you need a hand. I'm happy to help with Mulgrave (South-East) area issues, eg, shopping, dog walking.

[โ€“] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Did well to make it so far.

Brunch was cool, nice to get out for a bit. Came home and tidied up the kitchen and lounge and then felt tired. Am trying to do the VicRoads learner's permit course thing online and it's going ok so far, but I've come to the first tutorial and nothing was working. Tried my MILs laptop and it wasn't working on that either. Looked up what OS versions VicRoads supports and they only do current versions and the previous ones. My 4 yo android 11 phone was never going to cut it! MILs laptop is 3yo. Tried to see if it would update and there's none available anymore for that version ๐Ÿ™„ Nothing like a bit of built in obsolescence to spoil your day! Going to have to use Miniests laptop.. when she isn't using it!

Good luck. ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿคž

[โ€“] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 5 points 1 month ago

Thankyou ๐Ÿ™‚ I'm almost โ…“ of the way through the online course; it's divided into 3 parts and there's a tutorial at the end of each part, before the actual test happens.

3 days left till annual leave ends. It's been great to have a break but I'm definitely stagnating.

If I had more disposable income saved for the break it would have been better but that's OK.

My probation ends on the 23rd of January. Once it's over I can start looking for a new place asap.

Fawker and Moonee ponds are looking reasonable for house rental. I don't think I could go back to an apartment, dealing with everyone's noise.

Looks like house is a no go. Vendor trying to playing bidding games well above projected value. Ho hum, I'll stop pricing curtains.

๐Ÿป happy hour ๐Ÿ™‚ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3RO0UMsBss

and tonight a new western series starts on netflix, America Primeval. The last western with a woman as a main character was just awesome, Emily Blunt in The Englishwoman ( which I really really recommend ) . Hoping this is just as good. It should be .

Alright carrots were a misfire. not even a knuckle long. Zucchini is looking better now that I remember to harvest it early enough. Tomatoes finally have a bit of fruit so I've thrown up the net around them.

Back from lunch with a friend.

I had a delicious Katsu Don but they ran out of milk and I couldnโ€™t get a coffee :(

Also a few poles had fallen down on Warrigal road so traffic is heavily congested with 2 of 4 lanes in and outbound blocked.

[โ€“] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 5 points 1 month ago

I should be getting to sleep because I'm going out for brunch with my MIL tomorrow. She wants to have brunch with just me, not with the kids and Mr P tagging along, so we've told them I'm going to help her with some shopping. We used to go out together a lot more when I was a sahm and the kids were in school, but we haven't much at all these past 3ยฝ years I've been working. I feel guilty ๐Ÿ˜”

Ever since I've come back from my holiday I've been feeling flat. I'll get over it but it's hard to get motivated in this weather. That's all.
