Melbourne

I've decided tomorrow's music theme is Party so if you have any recommendations I'd love to hear them so I can add them on my playlist.

spose i better get this furniture redo finished

And now the gardeners are here too...

This is kinda funny, ngl, there's 4 blokes from the camera company, they're in and on the roof, stomping around up there sounding like bart in his terrible twos, shaking the windows and lights.

Then there's the door frame bloke. He's ripping off the door frames with a crowbar, then hammering and drilling on new ones

Then there's the gate blokes, they're not doing much, but they are blocking up the driveway

Then the gardeners are whipper snipping the ladders the camera guys chucked up in the backyard to get onto the roof

Then the "case management practitioner supervisor" had to go to the office, so she brought in some oddball dude who's mostly just chilling on the couch making loud phone calls

Super annoyed. Someone took the last spoon from the coffee jars from the staff room.

There are no spoons whatsoever here.

Lucky I keep my own teaspoon for personal use though it took up extra time from my break to make a coffee thanks to that.

Why do people keep stealing and eating spoons here?!

Pakige!

Lots of good stuff, a couple of returns. Now I am ready for stage 2: organising the bathroom cupboard.

Ooh. Apparently the dodgy blokes for the gates are here too! At the end of the day, I may have a non cracked door frame, proper surveillance, and a closable gate

I have a friend who lives in Sydney. She's not really someone I talk about feelings to, but rather hobbies, and I would consider her to be one of my best friends.

A couple of months ago, I asked her how she found a particular artist we were talking about. She has a very diverse music taste and is constantly playing music. Ever since then, she sends me a song everyday, ranging from musicals, live performances and random stuff she's picked up. I've never been exposed to such a variety of music. It's a really special thing.

I wish there was some way I could repay her for thinking of me. I am so grateful to have a friend like her. I'm in awe.

Romantic love is cool and all, but platonic love is the shit. If I never experience romantic love again, I think I'll be fine. Apparently single, unmarried women are happier anyway 🥹🤪

F me this Brisbane hot liquid on a baby story is really making the argument to bring back capital punishment.

Tackling jasmine today. It has moved very early this year.

To those hoping to plant jasmine, just so you know over time it's arguably worse than bamboo I don't care how good it looks or smells. It smothers everything in its path like the blob.

Pretty but an absolute PITA have to get up there to tease it off. :(

I was not expecting clear skies, no wind and sun today. Especially after yesterday.

today feels like a bunch of spiders trapped in a jar

Kilt ironing lesson in progress. 🤯

Seems we have lift off. There's a bunch of dudes here for the cameras and a bunch of other dudes here for the door frames. Because of that, I've been ejected from my spare room which I use as a kinda office. Today's also the only weekday I don't have anything happening (besides 1 phone call "anytime between 9am and 2pm"), so I was hoping to get some study done. A bit hard to concentrate when they're going wild with the power saws.

The "case management practitioner supervisor" (I don't know what it is, but I absolutely hate that title) is here (the tradies have to be supervised when they're inside), so she ejected me from the other office to go do phone calls. So I'm just sort of floating around trying to find somewhere chill now

E: looks like I was correct about the security cameras. It's a proper corporate style system. Featuring a locked cabinet with a UPS and a plexiglass shield over the monitor. Not a huge fan of that, I most certainly would not be having anything like that in my house, once I move. Feels kind of unhomely and a bit business or corporation like, but I guess it stops inside jobs, so that's nice I suppose
