Started researching camper trailers more seriously as a way to stop myself spending too much money on upgrades for "right now". Thinking more future stuff. Having a lot of fun researching options.

I think I've found the weirdest Sci-Fi film I've watched in a very long time!

It's called Mars et Avril (Mars and April) and I've had to pause it a few times just to regain some perspective (sanity). The soundtrack, styling, acting, and all that business is top notch, but holy batman the storyline is wild.

I'm just about to finish it and I kind of want to rewatch it, but I think I need a few business days to reboot.

Side note - As someone who took French for a few years listening to Canadian French is strange, like my brain semi (very semi) gets the jist, but it just won't process it.

I have made a mistake. I signed up to 3 hours of tennis today. Fuck. It's too late to cancel cuz I've already paid for it. I was supposed to cancel yesterday but I forgotttttt 😪

Have just sent da boss out to Bunnings to acquire cockroach bait - we are having a plague of the pesky critters here at work. I think I must have clobbered at least 10 this morning. Is anyone else having the same trouble? In Richmond.

Not a cat. Luke is a European Wildcat ( sort of like Bob Cat.) He was found as a wild kitten with big azure blue eyes in the Ardenne Forest by a friend of Miss Seagoon. He couldn't purr or meow like normal cats , when grown was huge, had a stubby tail and big paws. He was so timid he would lash out . Just had to leave him be and he was fine. I tried to bring him to the zoo in Antwerp but they said I had to legally keep him .

He was a nice boy who liked to chase butterflies and sit near to me. I never once patted him tho I really really wanted to. He went to live with friends in Brussels when we moved to America, he would never have passed quarantine.

Was pretty tired last night and was having good sleep, until the possum/cat/screaming wildlife orgy on my neighbours colourbond roof at 4 am. Whatever the animal was, it had a lot of stamina.

Thought I would be spending $$ on a plumber call out today as water was not draining in my shower. Toilet water was not flushing either. Left it overnight, thankfully the water level went down enough that I could pour a big bottle of Drano down the drain. I think I've fixed it, hopefully it stays that way. I have one of those tile cut out drains, didn't know it could come off or that things collected under there and.... yeah there was a lot of black going on under there. So gross.

On the plus side, it was a great excuse to get out of going to the office today.

Sooo I watched Fargo s1 to the end as I couldn't sleep and therefore did not get up early (this is an issue as tomorrow I absolutely have to get up early in order to pick up the carshare to ferry some overseas visitors and bulky items around.)

However, a judicious water on Sat evening meant my plants haven't fared too bad. I still haven't found my card anywhere but this is a shitful time to lose it given that I have these visitors over the next week. Argh! Gonna just call it in and frantically update the god knows how many apps that use it as default payment method

It hot. It too hot. Can I evolve into a cat please, ours is just chilling while I suffer.

Called out, no sleep too hot, and gastro. Amazing. Can I trade in my body for a newer, healthier model please?

My kids both insisted on wearing track pants to school, despite my urging them not to, arguing and reasoning etc. 😳Miniest made a reasonable argument about the classroom aircon being set to subarctic temperatures and her seat being right in front of it. Elder has to carry his locker key around and the school sports uniform shorts don't have a pocket. I put one of those retractable lanyard clip things on it but to no avail. Was refusing to go to school at all so I had to let it be 😭

Today will be the kind of heat Rob Thomas sang about in his hit song with Santana, Smooth.

I'd rather pluck my pubes out with tweezers than watch the Super bowel.

Argh! Boyo doing an online induction thing. Camera broke. No idea. I can’t legally let him use my work machine. Have to wait for a break to try fiddling with setting things. So much for my recovery day off.

Rigged the house for hot. Curtains closed, doors to the west rooms closed, more water out for pets and hide the remotes from the mrs.

Housemate and I both just called it in (a very rare occurence), the air in our house is like wading through soup, it's disgusting and no one has slept. I see a day of crankiness, attempted naps, and maybe some blow up pool action.

Plants watered and hauled inside, shitty cracked plastic serving tray filled with a shallow amount of water. I wish I had a real birdbath but would never be able to clean it daily to avoid spreading disease
