  • Found a lovely seat in the shade to enjoy my fancy pie. I should be so lucky.

  • What a lovely drive. Ended up fanging a left at Harcourt instead of going all the way to Bendigo, cruised the A300 through to Daylesford. Chucked another lefto and headed for Ballan to get on the Western. Stopped in Bacchus Marsh for cheaper fuel and wash the front of my car (I have dubbed my windscreen Mothsbane, Scourge of the Skies. The Cabbage Splat Kid. Breaker of Wings.) and then ended up in Melton where I bought supplies for some snags in bread and a 10 pack of Beam Blacks.

    My parents have taken off with their caravan up to the border for a couple of weeks so I'm going to take advantage of their split system, comfy couch and spare bed for the evening.

    To your health, Prost!

  • Got my beard trimmed today. The barber complemented me in a very heavy arabic accent as follows 'My friend, you have very nice and soft skin'

    Thanks?

  • Jeez the sound of the surf this morning sounds rough.

    I was cleaned up fairly hilariously yesterday by a triple wave (where 3 waves sort of turn into one). Seen 2 waves do that before many times but not 3... I was not ready for that ~3m wall of water.

    I think that was my first real encounter with a rogue wave. Usually diving under waves is no biggie but it certainly did not work with that one.

    Good reminder that the sea can f you up even at 'safe' beaches

    edit: and hrmm, another drowning this morning just down the road at Barwon Heads apparently a boat overturned :( It's rough out there today so if you're planning on swimming on the surf coast over the w/e take care.

  • Furniture has arrived. I've assembled two trolleys so far. One of the trolleys I have three already that are nearly identical that I've collected from various hard rubbish piles.

    Update: Shelves now assembled as well. Three drawer units to go, then I can start on the hard bit - sorting and putting away all the stuff to go in them.

  • Two totally different front yards side by side. I know which one would be mine.

    In other news, it hot 🥵 Definitely not going anywhere tomorrow. Cocobella coconut water is half price at woolies, imma stock up on like 8 cartons the way back so I don't need to lug it around in the heat. Thank goodness it doesn't look like a humid night

  • Another very weird dream overnight but involving a lot of childhood friends and a weird alternative version of the country I grew up in. No details today because it was very personal and at one point weirdly sexual and I'm still feeling pretty weird about that...

    I think my brain is still processing the fact that I'm really here for good now after over a decade of uncertainty. There was a sense that I was very much a visitor over there and I liked that I had somewhere else to return to.

  • I'm gonna go tooooooo... licks finger and holds it in the air* Kyneton for a pie. Then maybe Bendigo just because why not. Then I'll see.

  • Stressful evening today, if saying something made me feel distressed or angry why would someone keep doing that when I've previously and said again how it makes me feel?

    Anyway I'm hoping to maybe watch a movie tonight, get some dinner soon and maybe comfort myself with ice cream or crack open a bottle though I know drinking too much isn't good for my body.

    I really need some time out from the drama.

  • Adventures in television.

    Netflix. Imagine my delight while surfing Neflix menu I saw a Bottersnikes and Gumbles show, At last.

    Animation was lovely, excepting that the Bottersnikes didn't go red enough about the ears and nose when angry and the Gumbles were pink instead of blue. Nice Gumbles had moderated middle class accents. Those comical ugly Bottersnikes had Ocker accents.

    The stories were absolute shit.

    The cute Gumbles were constant arseholes to the recycling wizard Bottersnikes.

  • Suddenly find myself alone for the evening, so now I'm thinking of inviting the six pack in my fridge to my Wonderfalls rewatch marathon.

  • Years ago in art class Lao Shi said that it's best to do ones work at the same time of day everyday. And I found that to be true, I like to do my art practice and my art work after lunch. I prefer to study languages in the morning and I have always studied the hard stuff like sciences at nigh, unless there is an exam then I'm cramming all day.

    Weekends are a flurry of hard housework.

    So that is how I will organise my days. With time for PT and exercise every 2nd or 3rd day.

    I have a new organiser/trolley I can put next to my desk/table too. Have ordered some new calligraphy pens for doing italics.

    Not having depression is awesome. 🤓

    • In the morning when I have my first cup of tea, I sit down with a pen and paper and list everything I need to do including meal plans. Sometimes it takes two cups of teas.
