Melbourne

"I'm going to lay here. Don't touch me or move because I'll bite you"

The lifts in my building are both broken. Again.

I've got my six year old niece's birthday party to get to, and no idea when I'll be able to leave the house. For fuck's sake

Time for a beer or 2 🍺

I have the best marketplace story.

Make plans to meet a dude at 7-11 about 15 mins from my house at 10am.

I'm waiting and this hardcore crackhead on a pushy carrying a literal kitchen sink rolls past, takes one look at me and rides off.

2 seconds later the marketplace dude leaves the chat hahaha

Fucking crackheads lol

Ventured into the city to check out the new train stations and have a general wander around. Love the new stations!! Topped off with a delicious ramen meal from a place we hadn't tried yet.

Fish

Guinea pigs sleep with their eyes open. It's creepy. I thought there was casualties.

I was unable to stay awake longer than 10:30 last night and only just woke up now. I guess I needed a major catch up sleep!

Laundry for me today, and maybe grocery shopping if I can be bothered. Also attempting to declutter, one small bit at a time.

home from shopping, got a nice little aussie art book, some nice tucker, beads for doing beading which I find very relaxing, the Air cd I got wasn't actually Air, just some new age rubbish ( lol ) but otherwise a fruitful day

and also am now changed and showered after unknowingly sitting on a damp seat on the train

just finished my second bottle of craft brewed bundy, bundy creamy soda

might have fish and chips for dinner

Vacuum cleaner really sucks. 10/10 would vacuum again.

It does a much better job than the old stick, possibly better than the plug in vacuum too. The auto emptying feature is amazing, you just hang it up on the charging station and it automatically vacuums the dust out into a bag in the tower without you having to do anything. I let it get to 90% charge before I tried it out and it didn't have enough power to do the whole house, but I didn't figure out how to put it on the low power mode (which is all it needs for the hard floor areas) until I'd nearly finished, so it shouild be fine to do the whole lot in future. And it has the second battery if I want to use the handheld to do other bits or to use the mopping attachment too. Once I get enough charge in the battery again I'll try the mopping head out. It's just damp spinning microfibre pads, so I can't see how it could not work ok.

You can get a version that has a robot vacuum that docks underneath the tower, but after the nasty tail-tangling incident where a robot tried to eat my dog's tail I don't trust those things.

First. 🙂

My vaccuum cleaner came with a voucher for 10% of it's purchase price, so I've just ordered a fancy red pair of Kitchenaid beaters. I've been resisting buying a pair when mine broke because I knew mum would have some she doesn't need when she moved into the serviced apartment, but it turns out I really hate the ones she had - the beaters keep coming out while you are using it! I don't know if they are faulty or really badly designed.

I went down six flights of stairs to get to this party, and I'm having a lovely time

Taste sensation : cos lettuce leaf with a slice of camembert and some stoned cherries, rolled up and eaten like a hot dog. Yummmmm. Perfect for a hottish night.

The vacuum cleaner has been unboxed and put together ready to go. Now I have to wait for the battery to charge so I can actually try it out.

We'll get to the new train stations and west gate tunnel soon. One of the kids has been unwell so i think we might have a quiet one at home

I’m in the doghouse. Went out to resow the dead grass pots, Melbcat slipped out when I was coming in and I had to wrangle her back inside. But that sun has a bite to it and it wasn’t a good time to be out.

I don't like this trend - the other two quizzes in the tournament can get stuffed.

I just bought tickets to the jazz dance adaptation of The Great Gatsby because it want to see how tf they adapt something like that to dance. It will be a good reason to reread the book as I'm not a book rereader even though there are ones I'd like to revisit

Somewhere in this house is half a coffee. And yet, it seems to have disappeared into an alternate dimension.
