Cat has gone back to sleepโฆ meanwhile Iโm struggling to stay awake and work.
Fingers crossed the weather isnโt too nasty today, worried about fire more than power outages

I got given some used items from work, some cushions and a seemingly very big expensive bean bag that I'll need to wash before using.
I barely managed to fit the bean bag into my back boot of the car, I have feeling that it's going to be way too big for my place but it might be nice to be able to lean back into a bean bag.
I love my beanbags and will often nap in them (mostly accidentally, the cat will come up and then we're both napping lol). But as an over-30 it does a number to my back haha.
Good for gaming in if you have a console too, or reading, chilling. Our beanbags were our couch for over a year before we could buy an actual couch haha
if it wanks your back, check your bean level. I'm still happily sassing in ours at 45

Home from pub. Those margaritas are fully dangerous, even without the coriander. House was 28 deg inside on entry, have opened all the windows and watched the thermometer drop 5 degrees in as many minutes. I may yet be able to sleep tonight. Tho I suspect the margaritas will help.

Pancakes with bacon and maple syrup, and hot coffee please. Gotta carb load before it gets too hot to eat, or my brain will cease functioning. If it hasn't already.

Today I will deign to consume a cucumber for hydration purposes
And other such primarily water-based foods
Can't go wrong with watermelon.
When I was in Peru I came accross a food cart selling cold watermelon by the slice. It was absolutely wonderful and I wish we had things like that here.
Not normally a fan but I'd eat it today if offered. Only if cut up nicely. Hate the feeling of sticky juice running down my chin, even if it's Quintessential Summer
Sprinkle the slices with freshly ground black pepper - gamechanger.

Mosquitos are out with a vengeance.
How do you buy a house? Real question.
It seems like 8000 steps all of which cost money before you even look at a place, let alone start installing petunias.
Talk to your parents and sibs.
See how much assets the family owns.
Discuss if you want share buying a house, if anyone is up for being a guarantor, if they will help with deposit.
See how much you can repay every month.
Organise first home buyer benefits.
Look at houses that are way less than you can afford. This way you won't be too stressed.
Try to buy something built in 60s or 70s, even if it's in a crappy suburb. Be close to PT, hospitals, schools and parks.
Aim to live in the house your whole life if possible. Buying and selling , stamp duty, is a terrible waste of money.
Make sure you have money for maintenance.
