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.

Bunnings and Howard's Storage World have ironing boards. You can't go wrong with a Hills.

Really struggling at the gym today. Air con and fans are on but it's still pretty humid.

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?

Too hot weather. And how do we get rain and thunder while it's boiling

Wondering if “spice up your life” had had sudden jump in streams since Sunday?

I loved the fact they just dedicated the three/four mins to let Neil Patrick Harris just do his thing in a one hour special. Glorious
