My peace lilly is upset and needs to be watered. Pretty sure I watered them yesterday though.

Slept surprisingly well. 28C fan off.
Fucking dog decided to have a 3am bark party at the possums and bats. I yelled at him and he shut the fuck up but I was wide awake. Luckily it seems like a drunk nap because the heat is shit day.
There were plenty of animals running on the roof.
I would be completely unable to sleep in those conditions. Even with fan on I would be struggling.
I believe I managed to turn my Tropical Mode on.

Getting worried about the grid this weekend :( I still didn't fix the solar power thing
Edit: Melbcat pranked me before. I was looking around where my paint tubes went and turns out she was lying on them. Jokester.
Art rambles, cat vom
I had a go at sealing a small piece of the cardboard to prepare it for painting. Basically I mixed some acrylic close in colour to the cardboard and diluted it with water, and used it to thinly coat. Basically this is an attempt to do a toned ground but I'm using the light brown colour it already is. You're meant to use flow medium (because thinning acrylic paint too much with water means the binder isn't strong enough to keep the layer of paint on) but the clearance matte medium I got to use for that isn't here yet.
The cardboard absorbed a lot of the water though. I'm beginning to see why wood and sometimes canvas needed gesso. Trying to do this with a toothpick/spoon and a tiny brush from a kit also made me glad I did order the cheap brushes and palette knives.
Melbcat just gifted me vomit so I think she's going to the specialist :(
Flat is 30 degrees. Lowest it gets tonight is 27. Therefore, flat will reach equilibrium with outside tomorrow.
What's the point of paying this much for a rental if it can't keep the fucking heat out?
31.7ยฐC inside. Awoken from deep sleep to quench my thirst for water. Sleeping's just great
Crashing on the couch under coloured lights,
They cycle through small rainbows,
These thoughts are terrible tornadoes,
Smashing up my mellow mind tonight.
The last gasp of summer on the way out,
Reminds me of escaping,
Of adrenaline elevating,
A hot pursuit that ends with more than shouts.
A vision of suspension within deep meditation,
Clears my mind of fears,
Retains what I hold dear,
Slip away into a slumber of memories melded to imagination.
I'm in hell
Can't Sleep Gang checking in here.
Yep. Also, no kitty, me being up at 3am does not make it breakfast time.
Right here. Have to move the mattress to the loungeroom if I want any sleep. This house has no insulation. You turn the aircon off and the house goes back to hot as fuck in 15 minutes.
Still 31 outside. Iโm using 0.4kw/h running the ac. Sun rise is 7:11am, so 8 am to producing any meaningful power. So 3.2kw to buy power overnight to run theโฆ.. fuckit Iโm leaving the AC on!
Only reason mine isn't on 24/7 for the next 3 days is concern it'll burn out.
A modern air conditioner is very unlikely to burn out after three days constant use.
I only just got my aircon installed last year and now I'll be moving out - this is the best chance I'll get to make good use of it, I'm running it as much as I want.
