Another of my former clients is leaving.
$120k revenue a month lol
Love watching this place burn to the ground.
this is a five minute walk from my new place 🙂 It's more of a snorkleing at the reef place but there is sand too, if I want big sand I can walk another 10 minutes
You are gonna love it!
I think so too.
Ah, very familiar landscape for me. I think I mentioned I grew up near there? I wanted to spend much more time there but my folks couldn't swim and were afraid of the water lol
it would take a lot of effort to get into trouble
bogged in the mud flats perhaps or in deep water off the pier
but there are always people around, always
Beautiful! Is that a bike path?
Feel free to fucking cool change anytime now. The dogs giving me evils.
2 waves tonight.
Ooooo spoiled for choice!
I think I like the bottom pic more: the smoothness of the water leading up to the wave and that perfect break at the top 😙👌🏼
Nice. 🌊
Good night everybody. 😘
Made chunky bolognaise in the Thermomix we inherited from my dad and it fucking rocked. Wasn't sure about the worcestershire sauce and the chilli flakes, but went with it - very glad I did.
The hot air balloons are out again this morning. Now it makes me think they're up to something
It's an interesting idea you're floating. Sounds like a basket case.
My kid did a little tidy up in my kitchen yesterday. The kettle was unplugged, the frying pan was put in the cupboard where it doesn't belong, green teabags mixed in with English breakfast and I don't know where the sweet potato went that was on the bench.
It’s the thought that counts.
Yeah. Just wished she cleaned her room than rearranging my already tidy kitchen.
green teabags mixed in with English breakfast
In the insurance world this is known as a "total loss"
It was a shock when I made a cuppa and it was pale as so I looked at the tag and it was not English breakfast.
A short break from packing. I'm off to the new house , will take pics of the beach. 🙂 laters 😘
Beeeeeeach!! I'm hoping this weather holds so I can go for a float after work!
Today was a weird day. Whenever I leave the house, I ask myself if I've forgotten anything material or just my sanity. Today I said just my sanity, but I felt off about that.
I was almost at the bus stop when I realised I forgot my earbuds. Not a necessity, but I wasn't going to spend half an hour walking home and back to the bus stop to get my earbuds, and miss the bus. They are not super frequent, and sometimes they arrive at the stop a few minutes early. So I got some cheap wired ones, and realised that was a waste of money. Should've just looked out the window.
I must bring a notebook to write in when commuting.
It's good to switch off sometimes. No ear buds. Let your mind wander, it's very healing.
It's so quiet in the new suburb. 🙂
I definitely listed my coffee grinder too low when I put it on Marketplace (leading to a huge number of responses). I put it on eBay late afternoon yesterday for more than twice that amount and it has sold already. I guess those things hold their value more than other small appliances. And I almost took it to the op shop instead of bothering to list it!
That's good to keep in mind. I have a cafe level grinder I've been meaning to sell but I've been worried about listing it too cheaply
gave five guys another go today. Second time for them and holy shit the bacon is so bloody good! Took a lacteeze so I could get that sweet sweet plastic cheese as well. Thats what I was missing the first time. Incredible! 30 something bucks for the bacon cheeseburger, small chips and a coke though. a rare treat then.
Lots of rain forecast for tomorrow. I’m looking forward to it.
Got tanks on standby and standby tanks also on standby and bought meself a transfer pump that screeches like a beansidhe and sucks like a gold tier cock gobbler
Getting up when it's still dark, but not too cold is one of life's great pleasures. Seeing the sun rise illuminate the parklands. Seeing people walking, jogging and riding their bikes first thing. And of course seeing rubbish strewn (yes STREWN) all over the court because the rubbish truck driver could not be bothered to stop and clean it up.
Not my bin thankfully, but it's been cleaned up, council notified and note left for neighbour that their bin hasn't been emptied.
sky pretty
So it is. 🙂
excitedly planning out purchases for the van. We threw away/donated tons of stuff and are basically starting again (plus I don't wanna carry heavy glass and china that looks pretty breakable) and we have tons of our own camping gear we can just put in the van but now I'm just filling the gaps. I can finally justify bringing a kettle and toaster. I still love camping in my swag, and I'll still do it from time to time. But camping with power (until I can get a basic offgrid system) its going to be very very nice!
Just came back from a walk around the park. The crickets are very LOUD. My ears are ringing a bit.
They've been driving me crazy here at home for weeks! Even during the day! 🙉
Sky pretty. Birds not awake yet. 🙂
It was rather beautiful this morning. Lovely texture in the clouds.
I will never tire of the beauty of our wonderful home. 💖🌏
Augh. I am not feeling good. Really dehydrated and been sleeping all day because I couldn’t get up. Spent it sipping ginger ale between naps.
Went out and did the bare minimum for garden. Water, then some eco oil and fungicide spray on the pumpkins. They’re getting bigger but aphids found them and there’s also powdery mildew and whiteflies starting.
I found a ladybug on the dying zucchini and thought to move it over to prey on the aphids but wasn’t sure if the sprays would harm it.
One of the peas washed to the surface - it seems to have swelled and might sprout. Covered it with dirt again.
I trimmed my hair last night. I seem to be getting worse at it, but oh well. Tried a new way then gave up and did the usual. It looks acceptable and is back to a more manageable length.
just rest and drink water , so many hugs
I meant to set up my uni stuff last night. Ended up having a 2 hr phone call from a friend in distress... Every cell of my being is happier that I used the time to help a friend when nobody else could've (it was a very specific situation)
But I ended up only finishing data prep at 1pm today. It's now too late for me to collect data today. I have "wasted" the one last suitable day (clear sunny skies) in quite a while and I may not be able to hit my Absolute Latest Deadline of collecting all the data by the end of the month :/
I've accepted that I made my choices (esp slacking on the weekend, which would've avoided this whole situation)... and tbh I had such poor sleep and other issues that frankly I really need the rest more than anything else.
Now to just desperately hope there's just a couple more sunny midday periods before the end of the month 😖 🙏🏽
Accuweather and BoM have wildly different forecasts for next Monday in the northern suburbs. Please let Saturday and Monday be sunny enough, pleaaaase
Was super deeply asleep when alarm went off. Heart rate went rapid and disorientation hit. I hate waking up like that. Argh.
Oof, that's one of the worst ways to start your day. Hope it gets better.
Australia Post decided not to leave my parcel and to make me go to the post office instead. How rude.
Finally on the work WiFi in this service black hole. Trying to do anything on my phone here has been hell otherwise.
I've been able to get by through ROMS and downloaded podcasts

Lemon chicken with fried rice please. And your fanciest birthday cake for @Alamutjones@aussie.zone
I've been watching Peaky Blinders because I never have. It's not as good as I expected it to be. Feels a bit generic olde London town crimey. It's not bad and it's well acted but I'm don't see what all the fuss was about.
Autopilot, engage!
zzzz
Goodnight all ❤️
The Lower Calf of Rest!
Ah two practical assessments submitted and one quiz passed. Quite a bit left to do, but I have over 2 weeks until the due date for them, so I'll be fine. I'm planning on submitting the rest tomorrow/over the weekend, so I have a couple of weeks to review and change anything if the teachers ask me to.
I feel damn good lol
Edit: omg yesss I finally have enough Telstra points to get a new set of earbuds! Whoo!
Good night everyone. I'm beat. sweet dreams 😘
