Still not too hot outside. Been at it from 6:45 (would've liked to start earlier but this is the best I could do). Let's see if I can make it to 1pm. Fucking temps reaching maximum at 5pm is ghastly

Lovely rando day despite the heat.

  • Two walking laps around the park (usually unheard of)
  • Spontaneous brunch within brunch hours (the relief of paying under $30 rather than the $40 I’m paying down the coast, ugh)
  • Upside down house at the dead end of town (simple, but surprisingly effective and fun)

I downed a pint of lemon lime bitters. This weather….

Let me just open this pack of ready to eat curry and add some baked chicken to it and microwave with rice. Oh too much chili oil I need to remove some. Only two pieces of potato? Gotta boil one. No veggies! Let me boil some green peas. And then cook them all a bit together. Better add some extra seasoning.

Ready To Eat. 3 lies for the price of one.

Can I get a bra and G-string made out of that ice pack material used for sprains etc. (and also, did I just become a millionaire with this idea? 🤔)

not too hot in the apartment today but hot outside, even so, I've done some housework and am baking a loaf of chili cheese bread

The heat and the public holiday got me, slept all day. Gonna do what I need to do and try the old sleep tablet quarter again tonight. I need to be up for phone calls and telehealth tomorrow. -_-

I was gonna get onto the folding today but not sure if I have the energy.

Saw a shriveled male and female flower pair… pulled the male one open and tried to open up the female to hand pollinate - the female flower came off in my hand. DOH. If that flower didn’t already get fertilised the little zucchini will wither and die.

No flowers on the others. I wonder how much the heat and probably too small pots are stressing these plants.
