Melbourne

Four ish hours sleep thanks to two ice packs, life is pain and suffering. back to cleaning.

Power's back. It's working now, but the electrician didn't need to do anything... Was too expensive to replace power socket so it's just sitting there all covered in soot. Hopefully will get a quote for the switchboard and haggle to landlord to deal with it. Honestly, too tired to give a shit.

Thanks everyone for reading me rant yesterday. I got some helpful responses and it really meant a lot to me as I was quite distressed then. This is a nice little community, I love it here :)

Even though I got a good sleep I'm not a shiny happy person today.

Got to the beach with junior. Beach Rd is very busy already. Parking is being quickly claimed. So glad we got here when we did.

So excited to work from home today in my non air-conditioned apartment!

Bloody PH bus timetables! Not going to make it into work before the heat. Razzum Frazzum.

I have decided to donate my bike if I can find someone who wants it. It is currently mostly a collection of parts that need to be put together, as I intended to do some repairs and got as far as buying parts and tools and pulling it apart before losing enthusiasm. I have made enquiries with the local communiy centre that does regular bike repair and demonstration workshops, I'm hoping they will be interested in taking it to use as a demonstration project that can then be donated as a working bike to someone who needs it.

This humidity oh my God fuck off feels worse than the previous night!

Eye protection was a good call. I started wearing safety glasses a few days ago, today Miss Moo shook her head and a lens caught a few microdroplets of ear medicine that would have gone dangerously close to my eye. I washed my face and lips just to be sure. She's still not big on wet food. Won't eat it.

I'm still finding tiny pieces of glass sticking to my feet. The stick vac isn't that powerful and struggles to get into corners. When the broom is dry from its quick bristle wash I will sweep

Did not sleep much last night. Not because of the heat, but too many whirling thoughts. I think my brain did at least manage to come up with some solutions to a couple of the problems/challenges rather than just circling pointlessly all night.

Managed to get to sleep, then woke up screaming with horrific leg cramp. Don’t forget some salty things with all that water you should be guzzling!

Watched half of Poor Things. The camera work is stunning, the production design amazing. The story is trite. I quit half way through.

Then I watched American Fiction. I lolled when Thelonious observed that many stories are " they discovered masturbation"

Good morning. Bedroom is 28C like yesterday but it feels way warmer. I suppose it’s the humidity.

:(

Not a breath of wind. House is hot, outside is lovely ...

Can't sleep. Just going to get up and do something. Hate laying here.

Loungeroom-Dwellers and Couch-Sleepers Crew, checking in!

The cool breeze is slowly cooling down the place. Already broken yesterday's low :)

Still, would be nice to be a little colder for sleep, but I'll take all the wins I can get

Edit: wait nvm I can't read. It's still insanely hot, it just feels so much colder than it is for some reason

Why are we here? Just to suffer?

So it was actually OK last night but TONIGHT is when my bedroom has become genuinely too uncomfortable to sleep in - maybe the bricks have heated up fully and are now holding that lovely thermal mass or whatever. Despite the frustration of unfolding my shithouse sofa bed so late at night, I am sleeping in the airconditioned lounge tonight. Goodnight you all.

Tired now. Must sleep
