    Just went down to Bunnings and bought 2 x these things to put in front of one of my big balcony windows to hopefully help block a bit of the afternoon sun + add a bit of colour to the joint. I have them sitting vicariously on top of each other, but I think it looks alright!

    I really need to get around to selling those 2 monitors on the floor. Also please ignore my dirty windows, I’m cleaning them after work.

            Seriously though, it’s a plush cat I bought years ago for the sole purpose of taking it to work, getting to meetings before everyone else then spinning around in my chair petting the cat and saying “ah I’ve been expecting you”, Bond villain style.

    🎶Love me, love me. Say that you love me 🎶

    Gosh this song is stuck in my head now. Is this a recent insta / tok song? (I know the original is from '96)

    I have to purchase an unregistered vehicle permit from vicroads. Anyone hate how you have to purchase a separate permit to move it from point A to B and also to get it roadworthied/registered?

    I have to move it from the depot to my home (1 permit) then from my home to the mechanic/vicroads (1 permit). They double dip on the permits, will cost me $100 instead of $50 :/

      I used to get the one month option so I could move it between appointments without repeating the hassle.

        That would be fine if you could use the same permit for moving it from A-B and getting it ready for registration but they want two separate permits for that

        The time frame isn’t too bad, it’s $50 for 1 day but only ~$1 extra per day on top so the upfront cost is frustrating but requiring two permits is the frustrating part because they’re used for the same purpose i.e. full TAC compliance.

    I made overnight oats with milk, vanilla yoghurt, a wee bit of maple syrup and a pinch of cinnamon sugar.

    It’s proper nice but I think I made too much. Will know for next time.

      I love overnight oats, although mine tend to be heavy on the fruit and I add yoghurt when serving. It also freezes well, which is great to do when there are lots of fresh summer fruits available.

    my home office is slowly being overtaken by small, brightly coloured 3d printed parts awaiting assembly.

    But I don’t think anything will ever top the alpaca stocking stuffers. Still weapon of choice for both sets of nieces four years on

    Interesting. I just activated a new SIM yesterday and haven’t used it anywhere. Less than 12 hours later I get my first spam call!

    God, job hunts are the worst. Partner’s been looking for something literally anywhere within an hour of the cbd, has years of hospo experience, years of random tech knowhow. Even casual would be fine at this point. Just needs something to tide him over whilst we wait on the partner visa stuff to go through.

    He’s only had one bloody interview, even, and they were reportedly incredibly nice and then just never talked to him after.

    I’m so exhausted with supporting both of us. He’s so exhausted with doing 20+ bloody job apps every day. Ugh
