So steamy and hot at my place. Dismantled the Xmas tree and packed it away in a cupboard I pulled stuff out of to sort. Found a Bowser's Castle Boss Battle Lego set that hadn't even been opened. At some point one of the kids scribbled on the box a little bit in one corner ๐Ÿ˜  not too badly though. Several sellers online selling it, not cheaply either. Considering selling it myself, but then the whole nonsense with scammers etc., don't know if I can be bothered with it.

It's dark now. Considering putting on the lights.. Loving the thunder.

Skies darkening with thunder. Itโ€™s about to go down. A rainy indoor day is just what the doctor ordered too.

Edit - just got absolutely smashed with rain and house vibrating thunder, this stormโ€™s angry

I need to stay awake for at least another hour. Going back to work tomorrow is a terrible, terrible idea, but I'm great at those.

Who's got some great dad jokes for me??

That actually made me laugh out loud and feel it on a personal level, I love it.

That storm was wild. Was genuinely worrying the power might go out. I need to buy a power bank that fits my phoneโ€ฆ

Melbcat was a trooper though. Normally she hides somewhere and I leave her be. But I was able to put a baby blanket over her body and play music while rubbing her cheek, and she stayed on the bed with me. Sheโ€™s on a bigger dose of Zylkene because I split larger capsules so maybe itโ€™s helping

Weird coincidence , I just bought a power bank yesterday.

I proposed a Canberra trip to my aunt and she said maybe. One state / territory every year and they will all be ticked off in five years.

Canberra has a Costco and Aldi next to the runway.

I will go๐Ÿ™‹ itโ€™s on the list.

So considering Baku has gone to bed, who volunteers ~~as tribute~~ to post the DT at midnight?

[โ€“] Duenan@aussie.zone 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I donโ€™t mind doing it.

Will be up watching a movie and maybe playing BG3 finally.
