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.

Congratulations! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿฅณ

I've set up a special bar here and it will be open all night so help yourself!

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.

Risked it and gave myself a much overdue haircut. Absolutely nailed it. Saved myself an easy $30 there. Even took a little off the top!

I will admit that I can't see the back but it feels ok!

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 points 11 months ago

If you're walking and there's people behind you sniggering, then you've done a shit job.

Are we enjoying the tropical Republic of Victoria?

[โ€“] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 points 11 months ago

Oh yeah. I just walked to the shopping centre and am now dripping. Free saunas for all.

Lightning, huh

Caught some big strikes on video, but didn't get much of any rain in Burwood. With my room being 30c and the humidity, I am drenched in sweat.

Thunderbolts and lightening, very very frightening!

I like this warm weather because it's nice to never have the cold set off my sciatica. :)

[โ€“] useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 7 points 11 months ago

Ok itโ€™s slightly warm on the tin roof. AC shit itself. Did I turn it off and on again? Yes. Does it work now? Yes.

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.

Hey earthlings what are these in my yard? I promise they're not dog turds.

Odd

Oh man, between a shitty work day and this weather I am a very cranky monkey this evening. Need it to cool off, and for my holiday to begin already.

[โ€“] tone_212@aussie.zone 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

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.

Having my evap on yesterday morning led turned my downstairs toilet into a sauna for the day.

Thankfully the moisture has disappeared for now.

[โ€“] wscholermann@aussie.zone 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah EVAP does sweet FA in very humid weather.

Whelp! Lightening hit the street behind my place and knocked everything out for a minute, it was like ear piercingly loud.

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.

Tropical PSA: Remember your electrolytes. Water alone is not enough.

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 11 points 11 months ago (12 children)

Nah. Electrolytes are a gimmick. Stay inside with the aircon, slugging down your favourite beverage. Fuck it. Day off for everyone. Margaritas all round. ๐Ÿน๐Ÿน๐Ÿน๐Ÿน๐Ÿน๐Ÿน๐Ÿน๐Ÿน๐Ÿน๐Ÿน๐Ÿน๐Ÿน๐Ÿน๐Ÿน๐Ÿน๐Ÿน๐Ÿน๐Ÿน๐Ÿน๐Ÿน๐Ÿน๐Ÿน๐Ÿน

Actually just googled if wine has electrolytes..

It does!

Nommuch but some!

Hooray.

You're a winner on wet Wednesday.
