The high tide yesterday was interesting.

Coming into Flinders street station thru Spencer street I could see the Yarra was really high

Coming home in the afternoon and entering Seaholme I could see the rivers and marshes were flooded, close to home all the streets except in my little area were underwater.

The water has receded now .

Maybe I should have taken pics. Next time.

Sent in the final draft… this time at a much more godly hour - it’s now down to the last round of very minor edits from my supervisor tomorrow and freedom is around the corner!

Evidence of how I’m clearly done with this is that for the first time in my life, I am actually under the word count (310 words even below the 10% margin) without even having tried to cut any words out. And I can’t be fucked just babbling on about anything else extra. I truly look forward to never posting about this ever again in the near future (I guess I will check my marks when they come out)

back from beach, it was cold, I should have had a scarf and gloves

my little local beach was very changed, the recent strong winds and high tides tore up most of the big vegetation/bushes and washed them inland, sand was pushed into the grasslands ,

some local roads were covered in sand and small stones

I saw a big spiral shark egg

I’m off to the beach to check what the tides did. I’ll take pics. 😊

damn, up an hour earlier than I thought again

aww, Ted’s such a cutie, he won’t start his brekkie until he’s had lots of pats.

The body is sore l and the brain is done for the week.

Yet, I continue.

Aunt saw dog at the vet called banh mi. Don’t know what kind of dog it was, but shall report back.

Good morning. It’s dark.

Welcome back YarraByte, hope you’re feeling ok. It’s a bit of a nasty bug that’s been going around.

I think I’m feeling better now. Still a bit of a sniffle, but mostly fine. I’m out of bed, showered and even took Mr Woof for a walk (he is thrilled to have the daily walks again). Now I can hopefully get into gear to do a bit more unpacking - I’ve done the easy initial bits so it’s very tempting to keep putting off doing more. But it needs to be done and I’m a bit sick of all the boxes everywhere.

I had to drive to Williamstown yesterday to see the dental surgeon, which was absolutely horrid driving with the weather. But the good news is the implant has healed (implanted?) successfully, so I’m free to move on to the next phase of getting the crown. I might push that off into next year so I can get another insurance rebate for it, I’ve not got a lot of cash spare after all the moving costs.

I eat berries straight out of the punnet, no washing. Am I a savage? Maybe. But the raspberries I just ate were particularly delicious.

Roast chicken is in the oven. It took a bit of looking through boxes to find a few vital components - most important being the baking dish. It’s the oven’s first roast, I’ve only used it for heating a pie before. It’s smelling pretty good. It’s a much bigger oven than I’m used to, which could be handy sometimes (but mostly I just use the little toaster oven/air fryer).

I’ve had a productive day. I’ve moved a few bits of furniture around and assembled a shelf unit that will hold a lot of the pantry/storage items. That section has been the cause of a bit of roadblock that stopped me doing things in other areas, so this should mean I can start getting a lot of stuff out of boxes and properly sorted out. Mr Woof was very unhappy with all the banging going on while the shelf was being assembled and evacuated to the back yard until things quietened down, but Miss Meow was right there wanting to be involved and investigating everything.

The small fenced off area around the back gate to store the bins in and keep the pets back is working very well. Amazingly the width of the panels fit across the gap between the house and fence perfectly so it looks like it was made for the spot. Hopefully it lasts ok in the weather, it’s designed for indoor use so it will probably rust out at some point, but if it can last me for a few years while I am here that will be ok.

I accidentally put my Myki card in the wash with my jeans. Need to take PT tomorrow, do you think it’s going to work?
