Oh soft and luxurious mattress protector/underlay doona thingy, you are amazing.
It’s raining and cold and I’m nice and relaxed in bed with a cat warmly snuggled against my feet. All I need is for someone to bring me a nice fluffy omelette for breakfast…
That sounds very cozy. I will admit to not being a fan of eating in bed though.
I’m already up and about, even took Mr Woof on a morning walk (albeit a short one, given the weather). Now snuggled on the couch listening to Miss Meow snoring away on her window hammock - now that I’ve solved her problems getting onto it she is a definite fan.
To be fair, I don’t usually like eating in bed either. What I really would have liked was someone to transport me to the couch, blankets and cat and all, and then served me an omelette.
I’m now finally up and about as I have to meet a friend shortly. I’m leaving the split system in the living room on so that it’s not as much of a depressing, dark icebox for sox (who is currently perched on the window sill with the least uninteresting view). And for me, when I get back and steel myself to vacuum the floor.

How do people who overthink every aspect of their life buy property? I’m down in the Frankston/Seaford area today wondering if I’m an idiot for even considering trying to buy down here. Do I just stick with what I know and continue to be possibly unhappy in an apartment in the inner city suburbs?
If it’s an area you want to move to but are not familiar with, maybe rent there for a while 1st. Also start going to lots of open houses and find out what’s available in your price range, and what things you’re prepared to compromise on. Keep track of auction results. You’ll gain knowledge of the market which will help when you decide to buy.
Do give yourself grace about how you’re feeling - it’s a stressful process involving a lot of money, so of course you’re overthinking. Good luck!
find out how much you can borrow without becoming an absolute slave, know whereabouts you want to live, then combine the two and look at housies

I did not know any of the answers, but my guessing game was above average today.
Mine wasn’t. Grrrr. I’m jealous.

Big night last night. Big day today. Pho for lunch, gathering of supplies (gatorade and sausage rolls) for a bonfire later tonight weather permitting.
I’ve lately been super into gatorade. Damn good drink.
Beach was not as cold as I thought it would be, I had a singlet, two woolen jumpers, a slicker and a knitted hat. 👍
Tide was high and I took a pic, I was walking around those rocks that are far out in the water the other day at low tide, that’s where I took a picture from. I think the water is about a metre high there now.
Fucking migraine. Was supposed to meet an old friend today and have a video call with my Adelaide mates and possibly go out tonight.
relax, cups of tea and gentle music
be better soon
Thank you :)
hugs
migraines are so bloody awful
Hope you’re feeling better, I had a headache coming as well but ended up having a 3 hour nap by accident.
I have cannoli in hand. Everything is OK.
The cleeeeaning
Ugh, same 🫧🧹
Did a little bit of work first up to clear the decks then a shopping trip and pub lunch with a friend. Now sitting on the couch tossing up between a nap, a movie and another glass of wine. Tip top day all round.
Oh this was supposed to be in response to @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone . maybe I don’t need that extra wine…
Go on have the extra wine!
Well … If you insist …
I do. Stat.
Definitely the extra wine! Whatcha drinking?
Currently a bottle of Tread lightly Pinot Grigio. Just a cheapie but it’s light and doesn’t seem to leave me with the wine headache I get from others.
For lunch I had a Shiraz but I dunno what. I just asked the barmaid for something to go with the lamb shanks (and it was super yum)
What a perfect day for lamb shanks and shiraz!
What are we all doing today/tonight?
MrsGod had birthday recently so shopping in city.
Happy birthday to MrsGod 🎂
Thank You 🥂
🍺
Being a bit sad that I’m not having a super social day.
Ordered a pizza, going to feed the strays, play some video games and hopefully can play guitar if the headache isn’t too bad.
Shit happens. I hope it eases up for you.
Every Saturday is much the same: Hockey, Shopping, Extra thing.
The kid lost hockey to the team on top of the ladder, but still scored a goal. Shopping was mostly a success, I need to go back for more stuff soon.
Not sure what Extra thing will be at this stage, but it’s my wife’s birthday soon, might take the kids shopping for that.
Highly recommend a seafood experience cos I know you and your wife dig that.

Today was cleaning day; vacuum, mop etc. There has been a lot tracked in by all the removalists etc. so it’s nice to get the floors cleaned up (even if it is still working around boxes!) Hopefully now I’ve got the shoe change area set up and some mats down to reduce dust at the garage entrance it will keep things a bit cleaner. It’s also a well sealed house which will hopefully reduce the amount of outside dust that gets in too.
I also did some weather stripping of the dog door insert, which has cut down the draughts from that a lot. I also have a plastic “double glazing” film to put on the glass panel at some point, which will just leave the bit of gap around the dog door itself leaking a bit of air. Not really much that can be done about that and still have it usable. I can feel the difference already from the weatherstripping, and it’s stopped it rattling in the wind.
Tonight I’ll be working, so I’ll be heading off for a nap shortly which will hopefully help me get through it.
still fixing up the furniture, right now been rasping a drawer because it sticks when closed, then I will continue painting
I printed out heaps of instruction books for various appliances and will look to setting things up and getting them working
then a walk down beach 👍
At the local footy atm, they’re losing, I’m freezing but it’s great to be out on this long weekend. What are you up to?
Go sit in the car and toot when a goal is kicked.
The pyro has just started the bonfire. Gonna roast some potatoes and listen to some music, have a few beers and annoy you guys all night.
sounds like a wonderful plan
I am looking forward it 😊
😂
Long catch-up with a friend, swung over to the Asian grocers on the way back, got home to wee and now supposed to hop across the road to get some veggies but the cat has decided this is the perfect time to nest on my lap and I’m loathe to dislodge her furriness.
Gonna make a homely saucy broccoli stir-fry with vegan chicken a la this recipe with some jasmine rice. Blob out in front of the TV. Should vacuum the unit but I’ll put that off to tomorrow…
How good is an Asian market! So many interesting stuff in there.
I have made that recipe and it’s very good.
My pub dinner for friend’s birthday sounds like it’s going to be quite drunken, going by the group comments. Shot on arrival is planned 😬
Enjoy!
Shot on arrival. Lol 🔫
Watching the footy, maybe some gaming and I want to get a movie done tonight.
My sleep is screwed as well.
Who’s playing? Who’d ya tip?
Watching my Geelong cats play against Gold Coast at the moment.
Cats of course!
Had boyo’s family over for some wine and cheese, so busted out a fantastic board of assorted goodies and some delicious wine. Now settled in for some more wine, gaming, kdramas and whatever else takes our fancy!
And you didn’t take a pic! Shame on you.
Ze goodies
There were three other cheeses I didn’t serve, the champagne cheddar didn’t even get touched!
Beautiful! This could’ve been my platter. Lol.
I’ll take that as quite the compliment, thank you!!
The pyro
And the dog who chooses to sit in the rain
I see no dog, just ear and tail!!
Nice fire pit, but what dog?
He’s camera shy.
🥰
Just took a three hour nap. Today has been a write-off. Really want to be powering through my work tomorrow. I have so much to do but this fatigue and brain fog is not fun.
I tried for an hour and a half, but didn’t really sleep. Pets thought it was a great way to spend a dreary afternoon though.
I took a 3 hour nap too. Waking up from that was rough.
It’s nice in the sun. 🌞
You guys are getting sun?!
Has it started raining in Ballarat yet?
A little bit, mostly that fine misty rain you can’t tell is there until you go outside. Or until your dog comes back inside slightly damp. But it is a bit heavier now.
Miss Meow had a bit of an explore outside too - I was adding some weather stripping to the dog door panel and she took advantage of the open door to “sneak” outside. I don’t think the weather was much to her liking.
we had some breaks in the clouds
