My new rule is that when it gets below a degree in temperature, I huddle in bed with Gibson and listen to audiobooks.
Nothing of value can be done at this time lol
standing offer of heating, bean bags , cats, landlord sniping, yadda yadda. I’ll get the muffins on.
landlord sniping
The bloke who owns my joint is a cheap fuck. Wont get the door seals fixed, wont let me run the heater all night and his mrs keeps leaving all the blinds open!
Its me. I’m the cheap fuck.
the sadistic fuck! Have you tried a sternly worded letter?
Nah, but there’s a not 0 chance I’ll sleep with his mrs at some point to get back at him.
Ooh, I’ll have 2 cats and a muffin with butter and Vegemite please :-)
I’ll bring my yarn and hook. I can crochet some beanies and mittens for everyone.
…mittens for my kittens?
Yeah, why not? Then we shall have some pie.
Can’t feel toes, please send cat slippers
Note to self : remove cats from slippers first.
I used to threaten to turn the previous pair into slippers, so…
I come for the landlord sniping, and I’ll stay for the cats lol
I also already have a well insulated house, but definitely +1 for the landlord sniping, always willing to help the cause.
Plus, muffins!
which coffee is the most easy to get in winter?
answer
a cold brrrrrrrrew
😐

This is punny and I love it
Oh man I thought today was gonna be cruisey, and I did finish nearly everything by 1pm and stretched out my time at uni a bit, but being the conscientious idiot that I am, I decided to do one last work task when I got back to make up a lil bit of the 2 hours I was away (even though the deadline isn’t due for ages and nobody’s keeping track of my hours at this job)…
…what was supposed to be a quick half an hour jobbie spiraled into hours because there was a fundamental issue with the entire thing - like, someone’s property boundary might be so off that either they or Council are in big trouble. It’s way beyond my experience or pay grade, but I just can’t let a bit of good problem-solving go…
At least it wasn’t outrageous, I came home around 4:15pm and wrapped up around 8pm. Dinner, shower, bunch of tidying up, and now bed.
Also bloody hell, I think I do need a new chair, or at least reevaluate my seating height; my neck and back haven’t responded well to wfh today. Alright, NO overworking the next two days.
The Mill Brewery are taking over the Bendigo Hotel, and keeping the bandroom.
I hope we can still get the same kind of music instead of turning into whatever the fuck the espy is these days
They do 6.66% beers, and a few Death Metal flyer artists have done their cans.
Ted the Fluffy Gargoyle is looking quite comfy

l am disappointed that there is no snow

I haven’t seen snow for the longest time 🥲
Here’s Casey in the snow

It’s - 0.7 here. Snow would make this more bearable.
snow is so pretty
All those cold swims paid off last night.
I’m in a house built in 1910 with no insulation, sisalation etc. Slept with the windows open and felt nothing.
Would’ve burned through a lot of previous midnight snacks it’s basically cheating.
So in this weather we switch from steamed dims sims to deep fried dim sims because it’d be a health hazard if the blood wasn’t loaded up with stuff to burn.
So the science is true: Get in cold water = can deep fry shit.
So I’m officially creeped out. Tonight’s my last night here and 10 mins or so ago I heard something. Chalked it up to old house + cold weather (and warm heater). But when I went for my final dunny run, I opened the bathroom and the manhole thingy is halfway down and it has a staircase built into it. The noise I heard definitely didn’t sound like a clunk, which is the noise I’d expect it to make
This is the sort of thing that’s too concerning for me to be able to just go to sleep and act like everything’s okay, but at the same time not enough to actually call the police (who are pretty much the only people I could call at this hour). It’s also a lot colder in here than it has been any other night, kind of like a door was open. All of my doors are locked and have been all night. I checked all the spare rooms, nobody’s here. But I can’t even close the damn thing because it’s too high to reach.
It looks like it has some sort of latching mechanism which should’ve prevented it from coming open by itself. And of course every little creak is freaking me out now
It’ll be ok Baku. Unfortunately I have been creeped out by sounds which then triggers your mind to everything as you try and sleep and you’ll overthink things.
The noise could have been anything including possums or something or the pipes but it’s not going to make you feel any better about it for awhile.
Best thing to do is to try and put on some relaxation sounds or a podcast/audio to fall asleep with or if you have earplugs that would help.
The noise I heard sounded similar to my footsteps, but I just assumed my backpack must have slipped over or something fabric-y fell off something else. The pipes also made a jarring noise when I turned on the tap which they so far haven’t done either.
I think I can hear either possums or foxes outside, something sounds like a child screaming in the distance. That is not helping the vibe. In any case, something doesn’t feel right and I’m going to stay in my room until morning
That does sound creepy. Maybe the metal of the latch shrunk in the cold, and you heard it fall open?
Maybe it could have been pushed shut with a broom if one was available. I’m not familiar with manholes. But definitely do what feels safest and stay in your room.
After not hearing anything for a few hours, I actually did go out to try and push it closed. It’s not a latch, it has some sort of key, but I can’t actually turn the key to lock it because it’s too high up and not really usable by anything except finger
Thank you. Something about the situation felt and still feels off, and I’ve never really been in this situation before so don’t know how to react
Good thing you’re out of there, it does seem weird
This local RE agency calls me once every 3 or so months about “amazing results in the area” and asking if I want to sell. I say I’m not interested, thank you, and then instead of getting the message to end the call, she keeps asking questions. I just said I have another call coming in and hung up. Go away.
“Each time you call me makes me less likely to call you if I ever DO want to sell” that’ll solve your problem pretty quickly.
When we were choosing an agent to sell our last place, our final two on the shortlist were pretty much lineball with commissions/offerings.
However one of them also had a history of these nagging tactics with calls and spam and almost-daily “please sell with meeeee” mailbox drops. So we went with the other guy.
Got the lenses in my glasses replaced. They made really unpleasant dashes above and below strong light sources like headlights. It got to the point I almost didn’t want to wear them when driving at night.
Turns out the transition coating is quite heat sensitive. I did some driving back in November when it happened and it must have gotten really hot in the car when it was parked because it was alright when driving. Well, I’ll just keep these glasses on me when not in the car
I have COVID (I blame you Melbourne!) and while I am feeling better I am still a little foggy brained and I have to do a CASPER test tonight for my uni degree and I am stressing big time because I don’t do well with scenario based questions at the best of times and with my practise I’ve been doing my thoughts aren’t concise atm with covid brain.
And it’s also freezing cold so my fingers don’t work.
Breathe. Breathe. Breathe.
If this shit impacts overwintering of my chillis I’m gonna write a stern letter. To someone.

It’s too cold to do anything productive so I’ve resorted to playing this fantastic MMO: https://onemillioncheckboxes.com/
I have undone all your good work muahaha
I thought this was global and if you checked one they were checked for everyone
Yeh it is. I just added that youtube video as the game reminded me of that classic
It is. Some people just like to uncheck the boxes. Use TAB+Spacebar for ultimate box checking efficiency
If you’re being a menace like me and unchecking boxes, throw in random TABs so the people TAB+Spacebaring end up unchecking some lol
