Melbourne

I want to share a meme. I promise not to flood this place with memes every day lol

I have done heaps over the last few days. Thrown out so much stuff. I think I might make a nice cold drink, chillax and look at some pretty lights as soon as I get off the couch and have a shower. Any minute now.......but cricket....GET UP...

Update: I have showered and now my houseboy is making me a vodka & lemon.

completely off grid electricity-wise since 7am. Solar currently producing 7kW, 4.6 of which is feeding the grid. So far today: 32kWh.

God I love summer.

I made a late addition to the menu for the next couple of days: apricot sorbet in progress.

Mmmm, dog health anxiety. He's always had a wonky back right leg but with three spares it's never been to much of an issue. Now his front left leg seems to be giving him bother. He didn't want to go walkies morning or evening today. I'll try again when it gets cooler in case it's the heat but maybe he needs a few days rest. I did some basic diagnostics like I would a human and couldn't elicit any response while playing with his leg, its joints and the muscles. I had a good look through his beans incase there was a bindi or splinter in there but nothing. Maybe he just can't be bothered. He seems happy enough and is playing fetch so I'm not too concerned at this stage.

Here's a photo from up the hill during the new ride. It's pretty nice this can be part of my regular commute to work:

Going over the hill really tuckers the bike out though. I had it go flat on me during a ride for the first time today, well within range for the battery normally. I'll need to watch the charge more of I go this way.

Found lump on dog's leg. It doesn't look like the ones G had which is a positive. Hopefully it's nothing.

He does not care for his cooling mat.

What an awesome after dinner walk down at the little beach.

The tide was out so I checked the rock pools along the sea wall. Success!! Last year there were two neon green sea anemones, this year there are two big colonies with maybe two dozen anemones in total. 😊 I took pics.

Beach was a bit seaweedy but the water temp was perfect. I am grateful to past me for putting all my stuff back in the beach bag (after it dried) after my last trip. Easy to grab and take to the office this morning for sneaky after work dip.

I feel like there's a loophole with international licenses.

Some people should not be driving, let alone ubers.

So this guy just down the road pretty much middle of nowhere still has his xmas shit up as of tonight lol.

it's impressive. Still going. He's been doing it for years.

Good timing moving all that mulch over the last few weeks. Should take the sting out over the next few days.

Feel for local caravan park folks though. Lucky the sea is right next door.

There is an insane madman outside jogging. In this heat! At least he has the sense to leave his dogs behind, I saw him jogging with them yesterday. But that also means he knows it's too hot to be out and has chosen to go jogging anyway.

Packidge! My Baphomet suncatcher has arrived. Splendid day to find the best glinty spot for it tomorrow. Holographic not glass so I don't think I can accidentally set the stairs on fire...

I now have a meat box and a fruit & veg box scheduled to be delivered on Friday. That'll teach Coles to keep missing things from my orders!

UnKaos back on track 👍

It is a lovely, lovely day

Congrats to @Catfish@aussie.zone for the weekly challenge on PoGo - you got me by 1!! I was so determined to help get the team across the line this week, thank you for inviting me to your party!!

I briefly went outside to enjoy a bit of sunshine, but this cold has really got me. The bright light made my headache worse. Been coughing all day and not even pseudoephedrine has brought relief to my runny nose. Boo to summer viruses. They can get in the bin.

Forced physical inactivity and limits are driving me nuts. At the very least I’d like to go back to baking. Just to be able to fucking do something. I’ve been so stressed since I hit my head

Furbaby has been good today, there was some crying but she’s been eating a lot and having a wash. I’m wondering if she’s just learned crying gets her spoiled.

New icy pole moulds have been bought, we have more people so more icy poles are required. Tomorrow I will make banana mango layer poles. 🤤
