Quick piccy from the point lonsdale lighthouse looking west over the back beach towards ocean grove:

it's actually rated equal most hazardous beach in Vic. If you jumped in on a day like today and swam a few metres out you'd be lucky to make it back in.

Had breakfast, done the dishes, changed my bed. Time to go take my library books back, collect my glasses and get my hair did

[–] omoikiri@aussie.zone 9 points 2 years ago

I should get out of bed and go for a walk before the rain comes

Fucking hell, one of my students coughed in my face today. Guess it's time to stock up on OJ and pray to God that I don't get sick, because I have no bulk billing doctors nearby and work wants a doctor's cert (although subcontractor, so no sick leave anyway).

Goddamn, some days I just wanna quit.

I think the cats are expecting me to put something on the teev and stretch out on the couch so that either one of them can have a nap on me.
Instead I'm sitting up with a podcast on doing a crossstich project for a friend's birthday (well taking a break now for dins).

[–] landsharkkidd@aussie.zone 9 points 2 years ago

Radio went good! I'm so glad about it! Next week we've got out ninth birthday show. So that should be good too!

Uck, the rain has started and its still extra windy outside. The morning dog walk was cancelled (much to Mr Woof's dissapointment) due to safety concernd, but I still have to go out there and drive to work. Part of me wants to just call in sick!

What has happened with the bot?

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 points 2 years ago

He was a no show. @bull@aussie.zone saved the day.

[–] _miss_cellophane_@aussie.zone 8 points 2 years ago

I keep being woken up; wimdy or earthquake? Either way I wish it would settle down!

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 8 points 2 years ago

Thank you Bull ☺️

Here I am, sitting on my bed overthinking what to wear to brunch with a friend tomorrow. The criteria is cute, warm, and semi casual. Lol.

Tax return sorted ✅ getting an alright amount that will definitely help with my adhd stuff. So that's a relief.

[–] whatisthislifeilead@aussie.zone 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Oh yeah ready to watch new Mission Impossible tonight! Bring on the mindless explosions and action scenes!

Poor Bot #001 😔

Will they blow back in when the wind changes, like Botty Poppins?

On an unrelated note, anyone know where you get coin banks these days? The tin I had is on its way out, but Officeworks doesn't seem to sell them any more (they used to have a rather fun coin-sorting one, but that also seems to be gone, more's the pity).

[–] stardustingss@aussie.zone 6 points 2 years ago

Hmm I usually see coin banks in $2 shops (or whatever they’re called nowadays) but that said I haven’t been in one in forever so not totally sure!

I left home a bit too early... Need to get to St Kilda before 1 or 1:30 at the latest and already at Oakleigh. Oh well, I'd rather be there way too early and having to wait rather than being late and having to uber.

Also got a haircut by my mate and my head doesn't feel too heavy anymore.
