Getting hail here in Richmond. All Hail Richmond!
1 cm hail here in Carlton
weather on phone says rain at 2, accuweather says rain at 5
I think I have time to do some painting 👍
It’s raining now
Well done, it only took 13 minutes for you to summon the rain. That’s considered a gift!
the time it took to put washing in the machine and go to the loo. It was sunny when I started , when I came out less than ten minutes later it was raining enough for me to have to quickly pack everything up
Where rain?
I just discovered that the girl at the deli last night gave me 2 kranskys but put them through as 1. Free sausaaaaaaage!!
Meanwhile when I offer people a free sausage, it’s rarely met with a positive reaction.
Well, kranskys are delicious; you can get any old, wrinkled sausage at Bunnings but it won’t be a kransky 😅
The Bunnings snags are not even snags IMO. I’m talking about a proper, European wurst type offering.
How dare you imply I would offer such low quality products to unsuspecting individuals.
Well, any consumer will need to see and assess the product before purchase 😂
Everyone loves a girthy wursy
Sodding Amazon misdelivered my pakidge - looks like they just dropped it at the nearest unit doorway, despite mine being one unit down and opposite and very clearly labelled. And of course it was the one doorstep I missed on the recce before I had to pick up the papou.
Bang go any thoughts of me getting Amazon Prime if that’s the standard of service I can expect in this neck of the woods.Am in all-day team training, being made to watch videos
save meeeee!
The trades left my place around 2pm, sent me their invoice then, 3 hours later I get a message “hi just checking you received my invoice?” as to prompt me to pay now. Are you serious? I get a whole 3 hours before a follow up?
Yeah it’s hard times.
I don’t pay until I’ve closely inspected the job they’ve done, usually 1 or 2 days later depending on what the work is. Cos they ain’t coming back once they’ve been paid. I learned this the hard way. And I need more than 3 hours on a a work day to do what I need to do to be satisfied of a job well done.
Oh 100%. I wasn’t trying to suggest you give in to pushiness - just making a general observation
Ugh, between Protest and Weather and this time of day, this is definitely one time I wish the flight was delayed… ETA right now is that I’ll get there just in time for boarding. Breathe deeply…
Glad for the edit! Yay you made it!!!
The sky is making crunchy noises. Glad I’m in here and not out there
It’s just finished over the CBD (I’m at flinders ATM), and it’s sunny now. Hopefully the sun shines for you soon!

No.
I was just referencing the presidential debate 😶🌫️
Vacuumed during my lunch break, that was very satisfying. Feel a lot better about coming home to a less chaotic scene. Now to just clear the most urgent work stuff, pack away leftover lunch, put rubbish out, wash dishes, deep water balcony plants, shower, final pack, find that fucking black puffer vest that’s been eluding me for 3 days straight… weather where I’m going is all 18°C feels like 13°C, I need the thing! Chugging so much green tea to get me through.
You can do it. 📣
I know I’m not built to have kids, when I see them on the train and feel a visceral disgust for them, their disrespect, and their immature brains. I’m sure they will grow up to be fine, but kids are so disrespectful on PT.
Kudos to anyone who has raised/is raising kids, but that clusterfuck ain’t for me.
Edit: thinking about it, it may be due to the intense, abusive bullying I was subject to in school, and now I entirely distrust every child over 10 and under 18. Hm. Trauma is certainly pervasive in my life and affects my attitude.
Controversial take, but I hold so much space for kids in that age range. Being a teen/tween fucking sucks. School (feels at the time like it) sucks. Puberty sucks. Bullying sucks. Coming from a poor family or shitty home dynamic sucks. Not sleeping properly and getting up early for public transport to school sucks.
So, fuck yeah, do your TikTok dances, listen to music on speakerphone, drink your huge Slurpee, and take up a seat instead of giving it up to an adult that has probably sat on a wheelie chair all day. Just do your best.
I do agree with this, the world is shit and the kids will cop the brunt of it when we’re dead. I love their silly trends and dances tbh. Have fun in the dark world.
I think it’s a me problem 100%. On some level possibly resentful(?) because they’re generally in groups of friends, which I lacked. But it’s not their fault, and I know better than to lose my shit when I realise my feelings are my own, and that I’m just making generalisations about persons I don’t know.
Hopefully I didn’t come across as invalidating how you feel! I think it has taken work on my side to think this way.
I think I have the same initial reaction due to bullying, with a particular distaste for teenage girls. But I can attest to the fact that not all kids are disrespectful on PT. Last time I went into the CBD on a train I got on at the same time as a group of school boys. I was prepared for noise and rumbunctiousness, but instead got to over hear them earnestly discussing how to determine when the train had reached the appropriate level of crowding that they should stand up and leave their seats for adults to sit down 🤣
That’s so good. 😂😂😂 That gave me a proper chuckle hahah
And yeah I think it’s just my initial reaction but my second thought is that they’re fine/most kids are good. I hate when they run in front of me, but also I remember being that age and either not having awareness of my surroundings or feeling particularly rebellious.
I feel pretty much the same, despite the fact I’m still a child. There’s honestly a little bit of fear every time a large group gets on my bus/train/tram, and I avoid travelling at school times when at all possible. A group of two dozen 12 years olds vaping and trying to start a brawl on a bus is not fun
On a similar note, I did not use the school toilets a single time between grades 3 and year 10. Fucking traumatic, and a large part of the reason I seek out unisex/single person toilets with proper walls, or a quieter one with multiple stalls when possible
School bathrooms were utterly atrocious in the 2000s, and they still are.
When I was a kid, I intensely disliked being around other kids. School was fucked, the only people i liked were the teachers. The kids didn’t like me either, and I think latched on to any visual oddity to bully me, but I think they knew I was different. Not special or anything, but had experienced trauma in ways they had not, and I was different bc of that.
It took me 20 years to understand why I hated going to Nan and Pops (mum’s parents. Thanks repressed memories), and bc that trauma happened so young, I knew things other kids didn’t.
Like I said, I’m not special or superior bc of trauma. But it does change a child. There’s something about traumatised children that is obvious to other kids, but they cannot articulate it.
Bathrooms are the worst. I want to throw up with anxiety when I have to use the flinders bathrooms. And pub bathrooms scare me as well.
Made it down the bellarine. Disco LED chilli back in the game!
I hope they enjoy those sweet sweet 300w cheapo aliexpress fire hazard rays.
sativas or indicas?
I hope at least it doesn’t thunderstorm anymore, at least until 4pm.
Idk, I might have caused it - I’m doing a small there-and-back-again quest across the city 😅
Thankfully it stopped fairly soon and never came back so you must have done something right today!
