Melbourne

I didn't get the job, but it's okay :) I'll just keep studying and applying.

Got a beer and playing rimworld to chill

Tonight's wave

No one there which I know is a bad idea but it's very calming for some reason.

MissGod has completed the work experience week at the police station and courthouse. None of it super exciting but has made quite a few acquaintances with the local constabulary.

I am now feeding a total of 7 cats.

I don't know how to feel lol

Also, I fucking hate some uber drivers with a passion

Bit rough out there.

So jumping in soon for the sunset swim. I believe this might be the arse end of the weather system / swell that hit the east coast a few days ago. Sometimes goes over that wall but like that not often.

Well, first week is over.

Pretty tired but not in a bad way necessarily. Will be nice to have some time to just relax tonight and not be on a timer.

Have a few errands to run then it's home sweet home.

What a perfect little day. My uni meeting got cancelled and the ground floor unit had really loud renovations; I just had to get out of there...

... Good thing I have absolutely nothing planned for the weekend, guess now that I've had such a beautiful day I'll have enough in the tank to crack on with a bit of uni desktop work and chores.

My biggest client decided to call for a Friday late afternoon pow-wow which has properly fried my brain. Ready to check out mentally for the weekend. This week felt like a lot for some reason, but not as shitty as last week so we're on the up.

I just finished the first High School Musical movie. I don't know why the franchise became one of my obsessions as a kid, but there we go.

Am in possession of News (TM) of the unpleasant kind. Attending somebody else's event on my birthday just got a whole bunch more complicated. Drunk and rocking in the corner it is.

I did not know that the Geelong theme song had a second verse.

Cheers Winners 🍺

Not feeling too good… today I felt cold but now overheating! Must be those flu like symptoms/mild fever from the iron infusion.

Melbcat is sitting with me. She’s so beautiful 🥰

I've been watching Dark again, the German sci-fi series on Netflix.

a few things have jumped out to me as notable but this especially,

From then on, I knew that nothing changes. That all things remain as before. The spinning wheel turns, round and round in a circle. One fate tied to the next. A thread, red like blood, that cleaves together all our deeds. One cannot unravel the knots. But they can be severed. He severed ours, with the sharpest blade. Yet something remains behind that cannot be severed. An invisible bond. On many a night he tugs at it. And then I wake with a start, knowing that nothing ceases to be. That all remains.

the little back yard is full of bird nests

I suppose that helps explain why there are so many birds around 🙂

Don't call Ur super fund today plz. Have mercy

Knock on wood for meeeeeee

Woke up in the middle of the night last night and wasn't asleep after 15 minutes due to thoughts, so I put on an audiobook. Two hours later, I was asleep again but brain did not work today. I collected worksheets from a couple of students and then two minutes later, I went over to them again asking for their worksheets. Boo

Work complete. Onward to babysitting

First look at the chilli patch after 2 weeks away:

Enough there to start fermenting now :)

Can see a fair bit of leaf curl but no edema. Overwatered but not the worst, will dial that down. Habs a bit shit this year but the thais pulled through alright.

Miss Meow decided to check if I was awake with a claw to the nose. There was blood.

As beach pictures are popular here I thought I should share a photo from my once-in-a-decade trip to the ocean the other day.
