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
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!
Goodnight all β€οΈ
The Lower Calf of Rest!
2 waves tonight.
Nice. π
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 πππΌ
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.
Augh. I am not feeling good. Really dehydrated and been sleeping all day because I couldnβt 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. Theyβre getting bigger but aphids found them and thereβs 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 wasnβt 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
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! π
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.
sky pretty
So it is. π
this is a five minute walk from my new place π 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
Beautiful! Is that a bike path?
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
That looks great!
It's a wide coastal park all the way to Williamstown. π
Looks like you are not far from Gibson's current digs πΊ
You are gonna love it!
I think so too.
It's so quiet in the new suburb. π
Feel free to fucking cool change anytime now. The dogs giving me evils.
Well well. Guess who I found sitting on my seat at home? She never does that.
Unless... She actually missed me? lol
Your chair smells like your butt, a highly aromatic area π cats love that smell!
Not mine, you could eat off of mine. People often do.
Dinner at your place must be super awkward hey.
Even grandma goes back for seconds

Australia Post decided not to leave my parcel and to make me go to the post office instead. How rude.
