Melbourne

Lovely walk this morning and crashed out into emergency nap when I got home. Now. up. Quick shop and tidy up and then to a friend's for drinks in the sun.

The caramelised onion clashes with the peanut butter. They have a little argument on my mouth

It was driving me nuts trying to remember song samples I heard as a kid so ended up digging trying to find them. From a few remembered clips I worked out I had Encarta 98 and 99.

I did find a few incomplete playlists but one song still eludes me. I thought it was Dido and Aeneas (Purcell) but that sounded different

I have just bought myself a second hand portable air conditioner on eBay. I'm a bit spoiled where I am with airconditioner coverage in most of the house, but the rental places generally don't have more than a single room covered. I have seen some stuff about adapting vent covers to pull intake air from outside to make the portable units more efficient, so it will be interesting to see if that works - apparently a major reason they don't work as well as inbuilt is because the hot air being exhausted outside causes a vacuum which pulls fresh (hot) air into the room, many units sold overseas have a second vent for that air intake, but for some reason they don't sell them with that configuration in Australia.

Even if that doesn't work out it should be efficient enough to let me sleep in hot weather, and it was a good price only 5 mins away from work to pick up. Now I just have to actually get a property to put it in. They have contacted references so that's a start, but it is one of the places you apply before you can inspect the property, so even if approved at this stage it is still just a short list. It does indicate the application wasn't just thrown in the bin due to having pets or something though, so I guess it is positive news. I'm trying not to become too attached to the idea of this specific place, but I'm mentally working out where all the furniture goes and how I'll decorate, so I guess that's not really working 🤣

hmm, anyone do woodworking? I have a bigass solid corner desk with a corner bookshelf on top of it - but I want to raise the bookshelf. It's all solid pine, I have the panels to do it, but how to attach....

Hot damn it's Not Cold At All out there. Have a tank top and very light cardigan on and feeling warm... friggin confusing...

Well if it's going to be like this can it stay warm until just before Anzac Day? I don't want it to get cold again before I have to go to the Tropical Soup.

Another great jam.

Goodnight all ❤️
