Not a good news story, we need more competition in domestic aviation. But I feel like Bonza never stood a chance. Strange route choices and being forced to book via an app, among other issues.

I’ve caved a bit in the last few days, been feeling really cold when I get up. Held firm up to then. The next week is looking slightly warmer though.

My gas usage (excluding supply) for 2.5 months was $90. The only gas appliance I have is ducted heating which hasn’t been switched on at all this year. That seems high, right? The heater system has an always-on pilot light but $90 for just that seems very steep.

The heater system is about 30 years old, might be on the fritz - but turned on this morning and it was working fine.

Sorry I stuffed this, it’s $71 usage after adjustment. Gas bills are so confusing to decipher because of this estimating and adjusting that happens. Still seems high for a pilot light to stay on for one unused appliance.

Yeah, I got a heat pump unit installed when my old gas system died. So much cheaper to run!

If you use your regular bank card, very likely you will be charged currency conversion fees for every transaction you make overseas. I’m with CBA and they charge these fees for my everyday account.

What you need is an account that doesn’t charge currency conversion or ATM withdrawal. Look at Bankwest for debit or Latitude for credit.

I saw a menu ad at a CBD pub recently that advertised a Chicken Parmi. I shuddered. This is how to lose customers.

I was so stressed earlier today that it triggered my asthma and I was getting really short on breath. That was a experience as a new asthma sufferer. Many Ventolin puffs and a good gym session later, feeling much more relaxed. Night rain helps too although it’s really coming down.

The price of my private health insurance (with extras) keeps on going up and up to the point where I don’t get enough value out of it anymore. Looking at options for just having basic hospital/ambulance cover and it’s still so expensive. Almost $100 a month. Having insurance seems like a luxury these days.

Successful day in the garden. Grass mowed for first time in months, weeds pulled, plants pruned, leaves collected, green bin is full. Perfect day for it.

Yet another day of constant dog barking to put up with. The owners are getting some roof works done to their house and the entire time the trades are there on the roof, the dog is in the backyard barking at them. Obviously this dog is very territorial and in distress, let it inside.

These are the same people who went overseas for 3 months last year and left their dog outside and alone to bark all day long, so I’m not surprised that they think the current situation is completely fine.

Sometimes I wish I lived in the country far away from any moronic neighbours.

Locked myself out of my house. First time this has happened since I moved in over 4 years ago. Guess I had a good run.

My parents live nearby and have a spare, and were home, got lucky.

Amazing news! Hope it stays away for good.

A redundancy is a chance for a fresh start. Enjoy the down time. Best of luck for your interview!

Yes! I noticed this. I think this has become much more common after the COVID era of people being glued to media for an extended period of time. The powers that be want that behaviour to continue.

Plumber said he would come after lunch and give me an hour notice. This is after he was supposed to come last week and just never showed up. Then it took him 3 days to message me acknowledging that he didn’t show.

It’s 4pm now, still no news. Won’t be giving him another chance. Uggh why is organising any trade always so painful?

Ice tea on tap, hell yes I would partake.

I wish I had your level of sleep. Woken up very early this morning by one of my smoke alarms making a low battery warning sound. I swear that anytime this happens with any of the alarms, it’s always in the middle of the night. Then took ages to get back to sleep. Alarm was neighbour’s dog barking, the next door house is doing some sort of the renovation work and as soon as the trades turn up in the morning, the dog starts going off. Just a terrible night of sleep really.

Feeling like I’ve got jetlag from a 1 hour time change. Just did a pre-lunch walk in the sun which has made me feel better. Timed well as ominous clouds approach.

Going for an evening walk before dinner as it’ll be a while before it’s light at this time. Love daylight saving, I will miss it.

Needed a change of scenery with doing work (going a bit troppo doing WFH all the time) so brought my laptop to a local cafe. This cafe is more coffee and small eats rather than full-on brunch, so thought it would be fine. Half the tables in here aren’t taken.

It’s interesting how working / studying from cafes in Australia isn’t really a thing. I get why (table turnover). I remember when I was in the US it was very common to walk into a cafe and see a lot of people with laptops. Didn’t seem to be an issue in Japan either.

Really? I don’t see it all that often, except maybe in the CBD (Starbucks etc).

I support your quitting endeavour. You can do it!

Haas? Then yes! For Shepard, I feel those are good for longer but I don’t like them as much.
