We can!

From the garden these are sweet peas, giant ageratum, freesias, azelias, blue bells, rhododendrons and helleborus. Only tested half in the fridge eek. Will find out tomorrow heh.

Store bought stuff it looks like daffodil and 3 others that I can’t identify.

It’s like 90% from the garden which is great timing.

Finally got settlement date on the new house. 23rd. And then 2 days later I’m going to Melbourne. I knew it would happen that week, lol.

Two days sounds totally like enough time to completely unpack in your new house and then pack for a Melbourne trip!

Ha! Don’t take me seriously - I never do! We moved in June, and it’s still Box Central around here.

I am all peopled out methinks.

4 years ago could easily have done it but now no go. 5 days in a row of lengthy small talk with so many people is just too much.

So today is just gonna be laying some dripper hose I’m absolutely happy with that.

Also the azelia made it through the night in the fridge. I was told categorically it wouldn’t. They were wrong.

Yea tomorrow. They had another one in Indo a few months ago. This is the local one. Double wedding! Double stress, double flowers.

Aha. Yeah my bro had something like that two decades ago. It was a heck of a lot of logistics. Godspeed for tomorrow!

Is it ok to physically assault people who walk in squadron formation of 5 people across through shopping centres? I feel like there should be a legal loophole here.

Imagine yourself as a bowling ball and them as the pins. Aim for the middle and walk with determination. Make no move to move out of the way and you should be able smash through them lol

I believe the appropriate response is to join the group and keep walking, whilst playing “Eye of the Tiger” loudly on your phone.

Just rolled out of bed to find I have also left my split system on overnight at 18C 😱 RIP my energy bills.

Sore throat came back overnight. Not sure if it was the temperature or maybe the dust that keeps circulating around my apartment. When I get back from my short interstate trip I definitely will need to do a deep clean of the apt. Air purifier will be in by then too so maybe it’ll help…

I assume it was set to heating mode and not cooling mode…

It most certainly was. Oh well, I’ll be away for a fair bit over the next few weeks and I’d been away a lot the last two months so hopefully no additional power surprises.
