A walk in the sun is nice if ya’ll get a chance to go out and grab some air. Not too cool, not too warm with a soft breeze.

I went to the hipster cafe this morning around 11. It was pretty good! The coffee was alright, but the milk tasted a little funky. I think their only cows milk option was reduced fat or something. Definitely wasn’t off though. Cost me $6.50 though :(

I also went to a smoke shop because I saw they had some American chip thing called a taco or something. Kind of like a rolled up Dorito that’s spicy. I don’t care for them, but I have a friend who loves them so I got her a bag. I noticed that the smoke shop and coffee shop both had super good customer service though, like really good. The smoke shop lady wasn’t in one of those prison cage looking things the rest seem to have. She wasn’t behind anything really, it kind of looked like an apple shop that sold smokes and yankee lollies. And the bloke at the coffee shop was so upbeat and super nice.

I’m one of those people that’s not really affected very much by caffeine, I drink it mostly for the social aspect, or because I feel like a warm drink. And I’m definitely not a buy (or even drink) a coffee every day type, not that I have the money to at 7 bucks a cup anyways… But I think I will try and go again before I leave, honestly just because it’s kind of like a chance to have a little wander and talk to some people.

My area has a nice cafe, too, but people in my area aren’t very talkative, so despite my best efforts, the cafe people never do any sort of small talk, and my "hey, how’s it going"s are always returned with a “what can I get for you”. So it’s nicer than one would imagine for people to match my energy

Edit: and the cafe man instantly pegged that I wasn’t from here, despite my fake denim and longish hair, so I don’t think I quite blend in

This feline needs a nap. I decline to comment about there being crayons and Tomsauce before noon.

Just finished refurbishing a wool hand knitted cable cardi. Replaced all buttons, fixed all loose threads and reset the sleeves. Looks great now. 🌞

Tmi and kind of icky

runs around slapping moisture meter on walls. NOW I GOT THE PARANOIIIIDS

Well it looks like I won’t be taking that half day off this week. Two regular staff out of five being on leave near EOFY is a bit much… luckily one gets back next week. Annoyingly, I have some stupid site visits scheduled for Monday that I can’t get out of. I really wanted to take that day off. I’ll see if I can put off the reports for them for later in the week and leave early Monday otherwise I’ll never get onto the shit I need to do asap. And try and get some extensions on stuff that the returning colleague can pick up on so I can clear all that this week.

I am Tired. Glad that past me bought some frozen veg for a quick cheap healthy dinner on days like today.

About to perform the phonecalls summoning ritual called a ‘shower’.

If performed correctly, your phone will ring right in the middle of it when you’re washing your hair

Good on the nurses for negotiating a decent pay rise so that they’re less horrifically underpaid. It’s such a dangerous and important line of work.

I have somehow b0rked my phone. Sound works for alarms etc but all of my games have become silent. Any clues? i8

10am service… finished by 11:15am. Noice. Wasn’t anything wrong (as you’d hope with a brand new car) so easy peasy. My first 2 services are free too and that’s my favourite price! I had my day almost completely booked out for this but it was super easy, barely an inconvenience.

I’ve been waiting to see what the Victorian Remuneration Tribunal comes up with for the politician’s salary increase this year and it is still not released. Cutting it a bit fine as it is supposed to be implimented on 1/7.

I would support it if they decided to just put off deciding until next year and make them lose out on a pay rise altogether this year, and maybe next year too, so they can experience the situation most of the govt. employees are put in every 3-4 years when their EBA is up for review and the employer just refuses to negotiate. I really think the politician’s wages should also be capped at whatever their policy for maximum pay rises in the public sector is.

I had a decent night’s sleep last night, but my body decided 5:30 was wakeup time for no reason at all. Managed to get back to sleep at 6:40, and then woken up again at 7:02 because there’s tradies next door and they did not miss a beat. They started clanging stuff around and sawing the moment they got here. Maybe that’s why the Airbnb people were desperate to get away
