    It seems that cool change has arrived a bit quicker than expected. I was hoping I’d be able to hang my clothes out when I’m done at the laundromat and they would be dry before I leave for work tomorrow 😬 I guess I should appreciate the earlier cool change as we all may sleep a little better tonight.

    For everyone who doesn’t sleep well may I remind you of the sweet smooth soft honey voice of Professor Brian Cox. He will lull you to sleep with his talk of the universe.

      He co-hosts the BBC podcast ‘The Infinite Monkey Cage’ with comedian Robin Ince… Funny science banter with some special guests. Recommended!

    Helloooo…

    I’ve clocked up almost 400km this weekend. Didn’t really think I’d be doing that. Geelong to Noojee… I’ve been everywhere man… LOL.

    Hope everyone sleeps well tonight.

    Yeah the heat really built up at the ramshackle old place I’m housesitting. Can’t air the room or I’ll be flooded by mozzies as there’s no fly screens. Times like this I’m grateful for my place even though I tire of it in other ways.

    I would’ve headed home but the cat needs breakfast in the morning before her human returns, and won’t eat dry food left out too long. Gotta try and get up as early as possible so I can get home and water my plants asap.

      It’s not fun… apparently it’s going to be 35 degrees tomorrow? Do I have that right? I’ve completely neglected my potted plants and forgotten to put out wildlife water 😞

      Edit: I was going to suggest stick in mozzie screens but if you won’t be there long and it’s not your place it’s a bit of a waste

    I don’t appreciate still being awake at 4:30 stewing in anxiety about things I can’t change.

    Housemate and I both just called it in (a very rare occurence), the air in our house is like wading through soup, it’s disgusting and no one has slept. I see a day of crankiness, attempted naps, and maybe some blow up pool action.

    Plants watered and hauled inside, shitty cracked plastic serving tray filled with a shallow amount of water. I wish I had a real birdbath but would never be able to clean it daily to avoid spreading disease

    Cat poo talk

    Melbcat has dropped a giant deuce! Yay! Hopefully she will feel better and won’t need the vet for that at least.

    Rigged the house for hot. Curtains closed, doors to the west rooms closed, more water out for pets and hide the remotes from the mrs.

        The mrs is very quick to ditch the AC, rather than chuck a hoodie or trackies, even if Im still sitting sweating on the couch. She’s part flame monster I am certain of it.

      That final step is critical.

      My wife will rug up on a 35 degree day…

      (EDIT: I assume you’re meaning the air con remotes…)

    Argh! Boyo doing an online induction thing. Camera broke. No idea. I can’t legally let him use my work machine. Have to wait for a break to try fiddling with setting things. So much for my recovery day off.

    My kids both insisted on wearing track pants to school, despite my urging them not to, arguing and reasoning etc. 😳Miniest made a reasonable argument about the classroom aircon being set to subarctic temperatures and her seat being right in front of it. Elder has to carry his locker key around and the school sports uniform shorts don’t have a pocket. I put one of those retractable lanyard clip things on it but to no avail. Was refusing to go to school at all so I had to let it be 😭

      I’ve had to submit a uniform pass for my son to wear his runners on swimming days, because making him put on his school shoes twice in a day is enough to cause a ‘I feel sick’ day. I get it!

      My work is like that - so cold I have to wear a jumper in summer. Have to share the space & go with aircon majority rule, but when I’m by myself I turn it off
