    Beach time this morning was utterly glorious! The water was perfect and so beautiful. Pity about the tiny dicks on jet skis.

        I don’t like when they are at swimming beaches, at boat beaches is fine.

        I think people can all enjoy in their own way as long as they don’t hurt or disturb others.

    Stripped the last banister, and destroyed my hands despite wearing gloves for 95% of the time. Maybe now we can get the bloody stairs finished and take down all the wall masking

    Someone had a numberplate that said “Victoria: The Pothole State”.

    Also overheard someone at the beach say Melbourne is like Sydney’s uglier sister (they said Melbourne was a 2/10), but it made up for its looks with its personality. Interesting.

      Cannot agree if the are talking central CBD type areas. Sydney is so claustrophobic and grey.

      Have they actually spent time here?

      even the worst places have some beautiful parks and open spaces

        No clue.

        I agree, and think that’s why people live in dingy places. They also might have not choice, stay out of convenience or not know any better.

      Gotta agree with the pothole comment; around here I see the same bad bits of roads getting bodgy patchups year after year. Same near work. Colleagues of mine who live in different areas say the same thing of their suburbs. Honest question, why are we so bad at fixing roads now? Did something change? 🤔

      Edit: I used Google to answer my own question like a grown up

    So got a message from my best friend in high school. We haven’t spoken in years after a bit of a falling out, and then it just fizzled. It’s been so long since I’ve spoken to her that I’ve kind of forgotten what we had fought about. We were super co-dependent on each other, but I think now we would have both done the work because she’s on the way to becoming a psychologist. Intrigued

    The girlfriend is spending today cleaning the house. I’m helping but I’d rather not spend one of my days off without the kids doing housework, especially when we have someone at home that could be doing this cleaning all year round

        The kids are in care because they’re having a messy day today. I asked what she wanted to do and the response was pretty much go straight home, spend all day cleaning, then we can go pick up the kids who will just make a mess again.

        I’d rather not spend all day cleaning when her mother lives with us and spends all her time at home when the kids are not around on her iPad in front of the TV

    So begins week 2 of 3 of my annual leave.

    Let’s see what levels of sloth I can get up to this week.

    Wish I didn’t keep waking up at 6:30am though :(

    Beach done…last of Christmas icecream consumed for breakfast. Afternoon is haircut and car wash.

    Also I appear to have been co-opted into a social new year’s eve with the out of town family. No CBD or crowds but still I do very much like my NYE tradition of quietly going to bed early then early morning beach. It’s nice to have family here…but…feeling a bit conflicted.

    No specialist appointments available until February so the January procedure might be off 😢 I’ve asked to go on the cancellation list

    Edit: Got her in with another specialist and waiting on confirmation of a lift

    Sleeping all day was not the best idea. This time of year is topsy turvy and a massive depression hole.

    Edit: Well I put away the dishes in the rack so it’s free to do more tomorrow. Put baking soda down the sink. Folding to free up the baskets.

    I need to just sew the waistbands back on the ill fitting trackies and donate them because I don’t care enough to finish altering them.

    Hoping everything opens up again soon so I can make phone calls and appointments.

      I had a basket of repairs. Looked at all the items carefully. I never missed them, don’t need them, the op shops are full to bursting with items of clothing, so I chucked them in the bin.

      That was a tiny little burden off my mind. Every little bit helps.

      Hope all your calls and such go well. 😽

        You’re right, I just stress about being wasteful. 😢I am tempted to do this.

        Thanks. Hopefully they’re open, I’ve gotta put on my big Melba pants and handle everything

          I stressed about waste too

          then thought about how stress is wasting my health and repairs of near worthless clothes are a waste of my time

    The order: Moving mulch -> gerni the ground -> beach -> get semi naked -> flex my midnight snack beach bod -> sunburn -> have regrets.
