Got back about 45 minutes ago, apartment was hooooot but could be worse, at least it was a bit cooler than the outside. AC blasting like a mf. Esky tipped on the back floor of the car the one time I didn't wedge it securely, it had yoghurt in it... Luckily there was a spare floor mat on top of the floor (from moving house) and only that received a dribble of the stuff. Promptly washed it out. Could have been a lot, lot worse.

Time for my crackers and dip and maybe some tv. This was the view from the hut I stayed in. I miss nature outside my doorstep so much. I can't wait to move out from here

That’s one gorgeous view outside that window.

Hopefully the aircon will take the edge off.

Welcome back!

That’s a spectacular view.

That's my dream view. Away from the hussle and bustle of the world...

It was really something else. Here's the view on the other side...

I've had trouble falling asleep without my phone (or some sort of distraction) for ages but over there I could just stare at nature until it went dark and continue to do so in the hut until I was ready to close the blinds. I haven't been able to do this for years

That sounds like bliss! I'm desperately trying to get fully remote work so I can live out that way full time in a few years
