Graduated! But also, goddamn, they were super cheap with the celebration. The bar was closed after just 90 minutes - by the time I'd got my degree framed, they'd already closed the bar.
My dog just backed his arse up, launched himself and stole the treat out of my kid's hand before she could finish saying "you're such a good boy". He has no fucking shame.
I've recently just signed up for Coles/Flybuys and Woolworths Rewards (never really shopped enough to give it much thought) and it's a LITTLE creepy getting an email talking about specials on 3 of the exact items I bought 2 nights ago. The system knows what I'm buying now. Not that they probably didn't already track it by my payment details, but now I'm being shown it.
I do regret not doing this sooner as it seems that racking up points/dollars isn't too difficult.
Had to dress for all seasons today. Outside hot, office can get really cold. Not sure I succeeded, already getting cold. The thought of bringing a jacket to work on a tropical day was too much.
I have finished the process of Boosting my phone. It was not as painless as it should have been. Some sort of issue with the first SIM I tried. Was flawless with the second one.
I've been told to go back to Coles to replace the faulty one. But it was $2 and I'm lazy.
Nah. Electrolytes are a gimmick. Stay inside with the aircon, slugging down your favourite beverage. Fuck it. Day off for everyone. Margaritas all round. 🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹
I hope there aren't any explosions! Cooking ice is just what I call making ice cubes in the anti-oven. I used the last of them in my iced eggnog coffee this morning, so I'll have to wait :(
I finally got some good news on the health insurance front - the Transfer Certificate finally arrived, and even though I haven't had extras for a few years they waived the waiting periods for that as well as for the hospital cover.
Seeking recommendations for an ironing board and cover. It's for mum, she doesn't want anything ever, but she wants this, and she's about to buy a shit one to use up a gift card. She loves ironing. High budget.
Go to Myer or David Jones etc. - Myer has a homewares section. High end stock and prices to match. Or go to Spotlight/Lincraft for next level down stuff. Probably too late to go on-line for a really high quality professional one.
Has anyone else noticed brown beetles at night time that have a low pitch loud buzz when they fly? Saw one a couple nights ago and then a few more again tonight. Haven’t seen them before. Friend or foe?
Seeking suggestions for a cafe, open Saturday afternoons till 5pm or later, around Greensborough or surrounding suburbs.
Catching up with bestie and wanna take her somewhere noice without deafening music but good coffee. Focus here is being able to talk freely and hear each other.
Every place I've checked so far closes at 2 or 3pm. And this is just a coffee (& maybe cake) catch up.
Clay Oven will be open and they have a coffee machine. I don't know how good the coffee is, I only ever bought pizza there. That's the sort of place you want though: Somewhere Italian that does dinners.
At 5pm, you'll be early enough that they probably won't mind you taking up a table without buying dinner.
I kninda wanta though. Feeling humanish for first time since Sat. Might pull out the big sparkle lashes and rock this voice to order something outlandish
