Actually slept well last night as I passed out from exhaustion ~~and a couple of ALDI vodka coolers.~~ Did my first water walk of the season and came back to find there's a nice cool breeze so it's actually better than yesterday.
At least the cats are revelling in the heat, though last night I was wishing I could pack us all up and go down to the new place. Alas not until May...

Getting worried about the grid this weekend :( I still didn't fix the solar power thing
Edit: Melbcat pranked me before. I was looking around where my paint tubes went and turns out she was lying on them. Jokester.
Art rambles, cat vom
I had a go at sealing a small piece of the cardboard to prepare it for painting. Basically I mixed some acrylic close in colour to the cardboard and diluted it with water, and used it to thinly coat. Basically this is an attempt to do a toned ground but I'm using the light brown colour it already is. You're meant to use flow medium (because thinning acrylic paint too much with water means the binder isn't strong enough to keep the layer of paint on) but the clearance matte medium I got to use for that isn't here yet.
The cardboard absorbed a lot of the water though. I'm beginning to see why wood and sometimes canvas needed gesso. Trying to do this with a toothpick/spoon and a tiny brush from a kit also made me glad I did order the cheap brushes and palette knives.
Melbcat just gifted me vomit so I think she's going to the specialist :(
Moving over to Moama today. I was going to be coming home today but with that heat still sticking around I'll stay in my cheap motels with their kickass split systems thanks.
Time to shower and head off to my favourite local cafe for an eggs benny and an iced coffee before I hit the road.

I'm out at the Ballarat botanic gardens extremely grateful for canopy shade atm. Only reason I slept last night was the aircon keeping the place from getting too hot, a good dose of melatonin, and knowing I had to be up at 6:30am today. After lunch we're just gonna chill out with air-conditioning until the sun starts going down. By the time I get to Melbourne it better not still be in the 30s :(
Tomorrow back to being safely ensconced at home
Better writing than the original, 10/10.
He has also written The Soddit, The Sellamillion, and The Matrix Derided. Reccomend those as well tbh. One of my fav parody writers
Slept surprisingly well. 28C fan off.
I would be completely unable to sleep in those conditions. Even with fan on I would be struggling.

It's a nice day to be partying late at night but far out I'm exhausted, woke up at 6:30am and just waiting for an uber home after dropping my niece off at her dorm in the city. Fingers crossed my unit has remained cool. I'm so glad I have nothing on tomorrow
I forgot to freeze a water bottle to drink through the day. I'll put one in tonight and have it tomorrow.
Kitchen mats washed and hung out to dessicate. I think I know now what the ants were invading for - the amount of crap that came out of them was horrific.
Here's hoping my local pharmacy is open tomorrow. I forgot to grab my meds yesterday, and they close on Sundays. I'm the person who leaves their script with the pharmacy because I lose it.
Was wondering why I was feeling overly emotional, it's been a long while since I've felt them. Only twigged when the brain zaps started. ๐
Oof fingers crossed for you. Places that close on Sunday in my experience generally won't open on PHs either
