Thought I was going to sleep in the loungeroom tonight, but can’t get comfortable enough on the cheapie couch/futon I bought as a stopgap.
Instead I’ve crawled onto bed with the little fan and a couple of the other windows open for extra air.
At least I don’t start work until midday tomorrow. Well, today.

My sympathies - smashed mine a few weeks back. Worked out it was about the same to buy a new one as replace the screen, so I now have a new phone.

Back from work. Thank God, only one job today.
Even that has me wiped.

It was packed out in Parkdale when I arrived at about 7:20.

Did my third water walk in a row this morning. Definitely feeling it - using muscles I haven’t used or used as much. I hope the weather allows a few more - just not this hot, thanks.
In other news, the heat seems to have fried drivers’ brains - someone nearly turned into me and I did have my lights on so it wasn’t a matter of the silver car being harder to see. And I nearly got clipped by a Pajero.
Boy am I looking forward to when I can just walk to the beach.

Just put out a second load of washing. It should dry quickly in this heat.

Actually slept well last night as I passed out from exhaustion and a couple of ALDI vodka coolers. Did my first water walk of the season and came back to find there’s a nice cool breeze so it’s actually better than yesterday.
At least the cats are revelling in the heat, though last night I was wishing I could pack us all up and go down to the new place. Alas not until May…

I was going to wash some pillows but ended up cleaning out That Cupboard instead.

Could probably do it tomorrow.

Finally got the motivation to tackle That Cupboard in the kitchen (you all know the one). Better half of two bin bags and a good half of the yellow bin later, plus a few things for the op shop pile and a few things I need to sort/see if they can be repaired etc.

Now time for a well earned drinkie and later, watch more of Mary and George.

Woke up early and can’t get back to sleep.

Ah well, at least I don’t have to get up drag myself around the open for inspections today. 😁

Driving my old gentleman client for shopping today. He’s a very pious old Greek man and prays before we set off and along the way - I notice we get a smooth run and good parks so I’m all for it!

Bowl of congee would go down quite well this morning plz chef.

oztrin, 2 months ago

Cold enough for me to light a fire here and I have a lot of paper to burn, so all to the good.
The cats are muchly appreciative.

If breakfast is still on, a mimosa and a ham and cheese croissant plz chef

Thanks for all the congratulations on the unit acquisition yesterday. I’m still settling into believing it’s real, especially after two let-downs.
It’s going to be strange not obsessively checking the real estate sites and doing the rounds of the OFIs every Saturday.
Now to continue with Operation Sort Shit and decide what to take and what to dispose of.

Got pipped at the post again for a house - we were told all the way that it was a matter of the highest price and in the end the seller went with the other offer because they could offer 30 days settlement and ‘she wanted to give it to the first home buyer’. Never mind the fact I am, too - the house was Mum’s.
Ah well, it would have taken at least $10k just to get it habitable, and that’s before putting in things like a split system unit and blinds. And there’s another property - a unit this time - just about to come up in a better location and ready to move in or nearly so. But still.
